VIDEO: Dodgers Stadium erupts after Kings win Cup
The Los Angeles Dodgers were clinging to a one-run lead in the bottom of the sixth against a division rival Saturday night, but most fans were interested in another sport altogether.
Dodgers Stadium erupted after the Los Angeles Kings scored in double-overtime of Game 5 to defeat the New York Rangers and win their second Stanley Cup in three years.

"Uh, oh," Scully said as fans began cheering in the concourse. "You know what that means. Yep, the L.A. Kings have just defeated the New York Rangers in overtime and the Kings have won the Stanley Cup. Wow. What a team, what a year, what a finish."

One fan uploaded this awesome first-hand account of the moment the DodgerVision video board captured the Kings' celebration:
The good karma apparently rubbed off on the Dodgers, who dropped Arizona, 4-3, thanks to seven innings of one-run ball from lefty Clayton Kershaw.
