LA Kings celebrate Chargers arrival by trolling St. Louis

When the news broke that the San Diego Chargers were moving north to Los Angeles, the news quickly changed to the Twitter world trolling the new LA Chargers’ logo.

On Thursday night the Los Angeles Kings were playing the St. Louis Blues, when the team decided to come to the defense of its new football team by taking a jab at St. Louis for losing its football team to LA a year ago.

Los Angeles now leads St. Louis 2-0.

…both in this game and in professional football teams.

What followed was a backlash from St. Louis fans who reminded LA fans the recent inability of the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Cardinals in the playoffs.

Which the Kings responded in kind.

Of course with the Kings having a commanding lead over the Blues, one tweet had to make reference to the Los Angeles Rams’ 4-12 record in their first season back in LA.

you have scored 4 goals. The same amount of wins your "professional football team" had

It was a response that in the world trash talking on Twitter, the Kings even had to acknowledge the cleverness of the good comeback.

nailed it 👏

Of course others took jabs at how the Rams’ attendance fell in the second half and pointed to a lack of support among fans in LA.

Meanwhile others decided to poke fun at the state of both franchises that now call LA home.
