Frozen (Fury) In Time

Now, as we trudge through the dog days of summer, the 17th annual preseason game in Sin City is just ten weeks away. The game in Vegas has become an annual tradition for the organization, its permeated through the fan base into a celebration commending the end of the preseason and the imminent commencement of the regular season.

Before Frozen Fury even existed, the Kings made NHL history on September 27, 1991, playing the league's first-ever outdoor game on the Vegas strip next to Caesar’s Palace.

Playing in 90 degree temperatures, the Kings defeated the New York Rangers 5-2 in a game that featured game delays because of grass-hoppers on the ice, Zamboni drivers who dressed as Trojans, and maintenance workers who were feverously trying to uphold ice conditions with cans of nitrogen.
