TextLuc Robitaille has been a favorite of Kings fans since he arrived from Quebec as a teenager they all said couldn't skate. Lucky (his nickname) is now hockey's all-time scorer at his position, left wing. Let go by the Kings a couple of times, he always ends up back in his adopted city of Los Angeles. When Luc won the Stanley Cup with Detroit a couple of years ago, he even brought the trophy home and shared it with Angelenos at Chinese Theatre, Dodger Stadium, Universal Studios and a big party at his home. The Kings were miffed, but I thought it was a pretty cool gesture. At 38 he's on his last legs as a Kings player, and he might already be done if the owners' shutdown of the National Hockey League continues all season. But he found a nice way to keep busy this winter. Tonight's KTLA News at Ten had a snippet of footage showing the kid from Montreal taking the oath downtown today with several hundred other new United States citizens.
