Kings vs Ducks
Definition
A shorthand reference to the intense ice hockey rivalry between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks, two National Hockey League (NHL) teams from Southern California, often evoking trash-talk, playoff drama, and freeway battles between LA and Orange County fans.
Informally, any metaphorical showdown where regal authority (kings) clashes with unpredictable wildcards (ducks), like a boardroom coup or a family game night gone wrong.
