The Kings and Ducks have battled, since 1993, for points in the NHL standings and for the hearts and minds of Southern California hockey fans. Now, in a way, the rivalry has reached the courtroom.

Lawyers for Ducks winger Todd Bertuzzi have succeeded in having Kings coach Marc Crawford named as a third party in a lawsuit.

If found liable in a Toronto court, Crawford could end up paying millions.

The lawsuit stems from a March 2004 NHL game in which Bertuzzi, then playing for the Vancouver Canucks, sucker-punched Colorado's Steve Moore and essentially ended his hockey career.

If Crawford pays 1 cent, something is wrong with this. Bertuzzi needs to grow up. This is ridiculous.
