Yes. Do you have any specific questions?
There isn't a lot of public transit to the Honda Center, but if you're staying near Disneyland, the cost of a cab ride to and from the game is probably about the same as parking at the arena. The parking lot clears out pretty quickly and easily after games. There's a restaurant/bar across the street from the Honda Center that was pretty good.
I went to the Staples Center a decade ago, and they were just breaking ground on LA Live at the time, so I don't know how it is now. I parked in the parkade right next to the Staples Center and it took forever to get out after the game. I would certainly recommend hanging around for a while after the game to let it clear out.
The Kings game I went to wasn't against the Flames, so I wasn't wearing a jersey or anything, so I don't know how they treat opposing fans. In Anaheim, they're pretty much what you'd expect from a laid-back California crowd. Generally, I've found people ask if you're from Calgary when they see the jersey and they're just impressed someone travelled that far to watch a game.
