We detailed that in-depth here, and the team didn't disappoint this weekend. \nThe defending Stanley Cup champs were eliminated from the NHL playoffs on Saturday night, joining the Pittsburgh Penguins as league semifinalists booted from the post-season just before the last round. \nSEE ALSO: NBA Star Redeems Himself After Declining Twitter Prom Invite\n\nMisery loves company, so the Kings extended an empathetic olive branch to the Penguins via Twitter by proposing a joint drowning of sorrows:\n\n@penguins you guys wanna grab a drink later?\n\u2014 LA Kings (@LAKings) June 9, 2013\n\nThe excellent tweet proved a hit with sports fans online, and has since been retweeted and favorited a total of nearly 50,000 times.
