The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings have one of the better and more intense rivalries in hockey, and Tuesday night another chapter in their rivalry was written.
The game in Anaheim was the first meeting of the season between the two teams and there was a game misconduct, a fight and an incident involving Jonathan Quick and Corey Perry.
In the second period, Perry was battling a little too aggressively in front of the net for Quick's liking. Eventually the two got their hands on each other and Perry took Quick's helmet off in the intense exchange.
The game was just as intense as the little brawl as the Kings topped the Ducks 4-3 in overtime, and if this was a preview for what the rest of their games are going to be like, we'll be staying up late a few times this season to tune in.
