Ducks official Coverage
For the last two months, the Ducks and Kings have been holding a contest with fans to come up with a name for their rivalry.
Just for tonight, the word “thrilling” would suffice.
The rivalry that (with more than 4,800 votes) was officially coined “Freeway Faceoff” with an announcement during tonight’s telecast of the game, did not disappoint the sellout crowd of 17,147 in Honda Center on this night.
The Ducks spoiled another third-period comeback by the Kings, outdueling them in a shootout, 4-3. Corey Perry and Andy McDonald each connected in the shootout, the second straight game in which McDonald has clinched it in the tiebreaker. It was also the third straight shootout victory for the Ducks, who have played five overtime games in the last seven.

MVN Coverage
Southern California has never been known for ice hockey. The weather just isn’t conducive to backyard hockey rinks, and toques. No icy blasts of below zero air that take your breath away in the dead of winter. So it seemed appropriate that the two southern California teams, the Ducks and Kings, would play on a day the November temperatures would rise into the 90’s.
This evening the winner for the name the rivalry contest was announced. The winning name was Freeway Face-Off, a tepid description at best for a rivalry that seems to elude an accurate description. The winner was Jenny Keane, one of 65 fans who submitted the name. With Jean-Sebastien Giguere in goal for the Ducks and Jason LaBarbera in goal for the Kings the game began. The Kings clearly were continuing the momentum they gained from their come from behind 6-5 win over Dallas on Saturday night. The Kings got the first three shots on goal with just over a minute elapsed. The Ducks, and Giguere in particular, would need to be sharp early on.
