Don Kozak's six seasons with the LA Kings (1972-73 thru 1977-78) are fondly remembered for his spirited play that lit a fire under his teammates and the Forum fans. Kozak still holds the NHL record for fastest goal from the start of a Stanley Cup playoff game (6 seconds vs. Boston Bruins on April 17, 1977). To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Kings, I recently chatted with one of the team's most popular players of the franchise's first decade.
