Los Angeles Kings' Twitter Account Ethers Conan O'Brien After Comedian Snapped on the Team

Shots fired!

None

Yesterday, Conan O'Brien took a jab at the Los Angeles Kings (see image above) from his Twitter account. The attempt was okay. Nothing special, to be honest. However, another problem was that the Kings eliminated the Phoenix Coyotes on May 22nd, three days before the tweet was sent out. Kinda late, ya think?

In a surprising turn, whomever runs the Kings' Twitter account decided to respond to Conan's joke with a deadly knockout blow.

@conanobrien Clearly, that joke wasn't meant for prime time.

Ouch! Conan's comeback after that damaging shot was similar to Lil Wayne's diss track weak. Apparently, it doesn't matter if it's on or off the ice, the Kings stay winning.
