Hollywood took to Twitter on Monday night to celebrate the Los Angeles Kings after the NHL team captured the first Stanley Cup in its 45-year history.
The Kings defeated the New Jersey Devils 6-1 in Game 6 of the best-of-seven championship series at L.A.’s Staples Center.

Congrats to the @LAKings – 2012 Stanley Cup champions. First Stanley Cup ever for their organization. Holy Grail of Sport. Kings are kings.
Kind of bizarre to think the day I broke the news the Kings had traded for Gretzky, we had 23 years, 10 months, 3 days to wait for The Cup
Congratulations to the LA kings and their fans. May the curse of ’93 be lifted from both of our cities.
Congratulations to [head coach] Darryl Sutter and the Los Angeles Kings!!!
