Like any champions, the Los Angeles Kings are taking a media tour to show off to the country the Stanley Cup they now have their names on. Luckily for them, they play in L.A. where multiple late-night hosts shoot their shows.
So only a day after they won the Stanley Cup for the first time, Dustin Brown and the Kings visited two of the three late-night hosts -- here is where I'm saddened by the fact that CBS' David Letterman is in New York -- with the Cup.First up it was Jay Leno who had on only Brown and the Cup. Thankfully, Brown shaved before coming in on the show. Otherwise, they might not have let him on based on the beard he had grown.
Nice play by Brown for bringing the personality out a little bit and having some fun with Leno, especially over Brown's infamous water-bottle moment.
After Leno it was on to Jimmy Kimmel Live where the whole team was invited on stage. The visit had Dustin Penner pretty excited.
Hey @jimmykimmel make sure you reinforce the trampoline for the @lakings tonight. #wherescarolla? #bestinthebusiness

Kudos for the Man Show references, Penner. Well played.
I must say, they all seemed pretty sober, something which Kimmel of course touched on.
That wasn't all.
Ah yes, the life of the champions. 'Tis a tough world they live in.
