Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region,  to have an NHL NHL Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, see there  team on the cusp of the Stanley Cup Finals -- if you're a Kings' fan, you really don't give a quack about what the Ducks are doing, do you?
