This Day in Kings’ History (2012): Jim Fox predicts the Kings are closer to winning the Stanley Cup over the Ducks



On March 16, 2012, Jim Fox correctly predicted that the Kings were closer to winning the Stanley Cup over the Anaheim Ducks in an intermission segment with Brian Hayward. The Kings went on to defeat the Ducks, 4-2, at Honda Center.

  1. For years after the only time Fox would wear his ring was road games in Anaheim. Brian Hayward is an asshat of the highest order.

    Turns out we were closer in 2014 too 😉

    This video is like the origin of a longstanding curse. I would bet that Hayward is very aware of this moment and internally cringes whenever it crosses his mind.

    That said, he’s gotten a lot better with age… I don’t mind listening to him at all these days.

    One of the many reasons why Jim Fox is the goat.

    One of my favorite Fox clips of all time. Dude kept his composure and cool, pulled out straight facts, and was proven to be 100% correct in his predictions

    Best part was Hayward being apart of the NBC crew having to call the Kings games while they fucking dominated everyone else.

    I love how they’re smiling as if he is wrong and think he’s dumb for saying it. Get fucked Ducks!

    I remember being at the ESPNZone in Downtown Disney and how much that pissed me off (in a funny way I guess). I found and saved this video from YT years ago just in case it disappeared. Glad it still is shared around.
    This reminds me of the time Tony Schiavone on WCW Nitro said “It’s gonna put some butts in the seats”

    Brian Hayward has always been a clown. Glad that Foxy’s prediction came true

  10. Hayward is hands down the worst announcer in pro hockey, maybe all of sports. He is an arrogant blowhard homer. Jim Fox, on the other hand, is all class.

    I hope Brian Hayward looks back on this and dies of cringe every single time he remembers what followed afterwards.

    Well this didn’t age well (for Hazy).

    What a DB.

    The Kings also traded that goalie they were talking about. That was Jonathan Bernier.

    Honda center? That’s staples center south.

  15. Hayward was such a smug bastard. I wish they had done a follow up, but I’m sure Hayward wouldn’t have done it.

  16. The ducks announcers are the biggest homers I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to.

    Man what a pair of fucking pricks. I wonder if Fox has ever let them both live that moment down.
