The Los Angeles Kings have surprised the entire hockey world with their performance this season. The Kings have been overlooked and underappreciated for a long time, but this season has been different. The play of the team has excited hockey fans and dubbed the Kings' style of play "Hockeywood."With an assemblage of skill and role players that have clicked coming out of the gate, the Kings have risen in standings and stature.Players like Anze Kopitar, Jonathan Quick and Drew Doughty have added speed, finesse, and skill to the lineup. Others such as Ryan Smyth, Raitis Ivanans and Justin Williams have added character and hustle.Jack Johnson and Jarret Stoll have provided the puck-moving ability, shooting, and toughness the Kings have badly needed.Here are the top 10 reasons the Kings are a royal pain to the other teams around the league.

Anze Kopitar has terrific hands, creativity, shiftiness, skating ability and tremendous potential for offensive greatness. He owns the size all 30 NHL teams crave from the center position Kopitar is not a physical player, despite his massive frame. To improve, he must work on his play without the puck, since he's only average in the defensive zone.Despite the negatives, Kopitar has proven he can carry the offensive load for his team and produce a star performance when it is needed. Coach Terry Murray has a tremendous amount of experience in the NHL. He was a player and coach on several teams before developing the style that has managed to keep the Kings players focused and driven toward excellent play. Murray has been successful in handling star players and role players, and making them all feel equally good about what they contribute to the team.. Drew Doughty is only in his sophomore year, and yet, he is being touted as a Norris Trophy candidate.
