Hate Week: There Can Be Only One

Anaheim gets saddled with many "rivals", but old school fans know there's only one real Anaheim Ducks rival: Detroit

For years the Anaheim Ducks have been tied to the Kings for the whole geographic rivalry thing. It never made a lot of sense to me. The Ducks didn't enter the league until the '93-'94 season. I had just turned 10. I had already spent years cheering the Kings, because they were the Southern California hockey team. It seems strange to HATE a team I actually spent a few years cheering for. I imagine more than a few Ducks fans grew up the same way.
