Kings May Need Scorer To Boost Goal Production
LOS ANGELES— In hockey these days, 40-goal scorers are commonplace. The top teams all have players who score or approach 50 goals each season. There are even a couple of players who score 60 or 70 a season. The Kings haven’t come along to such totals and whether a player who could would make a great difference in their record is a matter of debate in their front office right now. The system installed by Bob Pulford stresses defense so it is not surprising that while the Los Angeles Kings finished with the fourth-finest regular-season record in the league during the just-concluded campaign, they finished only ninth in offense and even then were even with another team and just ahead of a couple of others, Clearly, if a top-level team in total,…

This obituary is only for a hockey season that came to an abrupt end on the night of April 22, 1975.
