Tommy Lasorda welcomes Jack Johnson to LA, not really

April 19, 2013 By John Hoven

After leaning in and telling LA captain Dustin Brown what he expected the Kings to do to their opponents on Thursday night, Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda participated in a ceremonial puck drop.

But, wait – did he intentionally diss Jack Johnson on purpose? Here’s what he told Patrick O’Neal on Fox Sports West a little later in the evening…

On April 18, 2013, the @LAKings celebrated Dodgers Pride Night at STAPLES Center with a 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets. Legendary @Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda dropped the ceremonial puck, and explained to @Patrick_ONeal: "You do not talk to the opposition."#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/qtOUzTiuvY

Wonder what Tommy thinks of Drew Doughty and his Blue Jays hats?

Next hour, we’ll post some comments from a few Kings players about what it was like to wear the special Dodgers jerseys during warm-ups.
