Jason Smith ( b . 1973 ) Jason Matthew Smith ( born November 2 , 1973 ) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman . He played in the National Hockey League from 1993 – 94 to 2008 – 09 . Playing career . Smith was drafted in the first round of the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils .

He won the Bill Hunter Trophy as the WHL ' s top defenseman . Smith was a member of the gold medal winning Canadian team at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship in 1993 . He made his NHL debut with the Devils during the 1993 – 94 NHL season , though the majority of the season was spent in the AHL with the Albany River Rats . He missed the majority of the 1994 – 95 season because of a knee injury , but played in one playoff game before returning to captain the River Rats to a Calder Cup championship in 1995 , in the same year that the Devils captured their first Stanley Cup . Smith then moved up to the NHL for good , playing with the Devils until 1997 when he was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs . On February 25 , 1997 , he was involved in a blockbuster trade , going to the Maple Leafs along with Steve Sullivan and the rights to Alyn McCauley in exchange for Doug Gilmour , Dave Ellett , and New Jersey ' s 4th round choice in 1999 . Smith spent parts of three seasons in Toronto before being traded to the Edmonton Oilers in 1999 . When Oilers ' team captain Doug Weight was later traded to the St . Louis Blues , Smith ' s strong leadership resulted in his being handed the ' C ' . He would tie Wayne Gretzky as the longest serving captain in Oilers history at five seasons , wearing the ' C ' from 2001 to 2007 , excluding the 2004 - 05 NHL lockout . Smith captained the Edmonton Oilers to a largely unexpected run to the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals , in which they faced the Carolina Hurricanes , another " dark horse " team . However , the Oilers lost in the final game of a grueling seven game series to the Hurricanes . Smith contributed 1 goal and 4 assists during Edmonton ' s surprise playoff run . On July 1 , 2007 , Edmonton GM Kevin Lowe traded Smith , along with forward Joffrey Lupul , to the Philadelphia Flyers for Joni Pitkanen and Geoff Sanderson , and Philadelphia ' s 3rd round choice in 2009 . In his first and only season in Philadelphia , Smith captained a rebuilt Flyers squad to an Eastern Conference showdown against their inter - state rivals from Pittsburgh . Despite the fact that the Penguins won the series , the Flyers ' turnaround from the worst team in the league to their status in 2007 – 08 was a credit to Smith ' s leadership abilities .

NHL Conference Finals The National Hockey League ( NHL ) Conference Finals are the Eastern Conference and Western Conference Championship series of the NHL . The Conference Finals are best - of - seven series . The two series are played in late May each year after the first and second rounds of the playoffs and before the Finals . The final two teams in the Eastern conference and Western Conference face off . The series are the conference equivalents of the Stanley Cup Finals . Before the 1967 - 68 season , the NHL was only made up of a single division . From the 1967 - 68 season through the 1973 - 74 season , the NHL was made up of two divisions ( as opposed to conferences ) , an East Division and a West Division . Following the 1973 - 74 season , the NHL again realigned . The East and West Divisions were renamed the Prince of Wales and Clarence Campbell Conferences , respectively . This was because at the time , since the new conferences and divisions had little to do with North American geography , geographical references were removed . Beginning in the 1981 - 82 season , the Conferences & the playoffs were realigned . Beginning in the 1993 - 94 season , the names of conferences and divisions were changed to reflect the their geographic locations . Then - new NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman made the change to help non - hockey fans better understand the game , as the National Basketball Association , National Football League , and Major League Baseball all use geographic - based names for their conferences and divisions . Therefore , the Campbell Conference became the Western Conference and the Wales Conference became the Eastern Conference . The respective winners of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals receive the Prince of Wales Trophy and Clarence S . Campbell Bowl . Four teams , the Phoenix Coyotes , the Nashville Predators , the Atlanta Thrashers and the Columbus Blue Jackets are the only teams to never appear in a Conference Final . All four of these teams have appeared in the Conference Quarter - finals .

The Kings were placed in the newly established West Division , along with the other expansion teams : the California Seals , Minnesota North Stars , Philadelphia Flyers , Pittsburgh Penguins and St . Louis Blues . The Kings picked goaltenders Terry Sawchuk and Wayne Rutledge with their first picks of the Expansion Draft , but the Kings did not rely on the draft . Owner Jack Kent Cooke purchased the American Hockey League ' s Springfield Indians for $ 1 million to bolster the Kings roster . Long - time Indians player Brian Kilrea would score the Kings ' first goal . Regular season . The Kings played their home games in three locations during that inaugural campaign . They alternated between both the Long Beach Arena and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena before the brand new arena built by Cooke and known as The Forum would become their permanent home . In the first game ever at The Forum , they lost 2 - 0 to the Philadelphia Flyers . This loss came back to haunt them as they finished in 2nd place , one point behind the Flyers . The Los Angeles Kings were a team that writers predicted to finish last in the new West Division . Surprisingly , the Kings finished second , just one point out of first . Bill Flett scored 26 goals , while Eddie Joyal scored 23 goals , adding 34 assists for 57 points and was the second leading scorer in the West Division . The Kings combined to go 20 - 13 - 4 in their 37 home games spread over 3 arenas that first season . On the road , Los Angeles posted a record of just 11 - 20 - 6 . The Kings finished a surprising second place in the Western Conference behind the coaching of Red Kelly , who as a player holds the distinction of playing on the most Stanley Cup championship teams without any of them including time in Montreal . The goaltending tandem of future hall of famer Terry Sawchuk and Wayne Rutledge allowed the team to stay in most games . The Kings had the best record of any of the expansion teams against the " Original Six " , going a respectable 10 - 12 - 2 , including winning their first two games ever against the storied Montreal Canadiens .
