Retta goes crazy cheering for Kovalchuk goal during TV interview

Actress, diehard Kings fan has hard time keeping it together after forward scored

CHI@LAK: Retta celebrates goal in midst of interview

By Pat Pickens @Pat_Pickens / NHL.com Staff Writer

Retta is a Hollywood star, but her beloved Los Angeles Kings made her sound like a starstruck fan Saturday.

The actress and comedian, who also is a diehard Kings fan, lost her mind for Ilya Kovalchuk's first-period goal while she was being interviewed on Fox Sports West.
Retta was the Kings special guest Saturday for another "Hockey Night in LA" game at Staples Center, joining such local luminaries as
Snoop Dogg
, Willie O'Ree,
Andy Lassner
, Thomas Middleditch, Jeff Garlin and Eric Stonestreet
The Kings snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 6-3 win against the Chicago Blackhawks, and don't think that Retta didn't take some credit for being their good-luck charm.
