    If anything, the Flyers should be called "Kings East" at this point.

    Yeah, since it's actually the Kings that won something.

    Never heard of such a thing in 40 years of hockey.

    Neither have I, is this a made up thing? Or is it something 'the kids' are saying these days?

    Funny thing, in their shorter history the Kings now have as many total Cups as the Flyers.

    Don't really see where this term came from, is it because Carter and Richards use to play there or is it a reach to group the two teams due to the "physical" nature they both play. I see Boston as being the team in the East that is more similar to LA.

    Flyers = Kings Wannabes?

    They both entered the league in the original expansion so their history is equal.

    My bad, I guess it's a tie, Bobby Clarke 2 = Mike Richards 2.
