In addition, the Kings had "ENOUGH" at the match's jumbotron.
The slogan refers to the number of mass shots that took place in the United States. Luc Robitaille, former player and current president of the Los Angeles Kings, also made some very strong remarks about the situation on television.
"I think at one point we all looked at each other and said, 'That's enough.'" It's not enough that all sports organizations do a moment of silence, we must do more. "
