The Thursday Night Rundown

I have decided to introduce a new weekly blog post, summarizing what the other Ducks’ bloggers had to say this week. My mind was drawing a blank on a catchy, fitting name to use for the title so if you have any suggestions, then by all means let me hear them! If you run a Ducks’ blog and I’m not covering you here, let me know so I add you to my list. With that said, here we go!

Earl Sleek and the Battle of California

In his latest posting, Earl chimes in with his comments on the Dustin Penner offer sheet, drawing comparisons to Joffrey Lupul. Pressed for time due to working a full time day job, Earl promises there is more to come! Read his entire post here.

In a very interesting read, Earl pens a letter to Ducks GM Brian Burke, offering up the idea of giving Ryan Getzlaf a decade-plus Rick DiPietro type contract. If it was going to be any Duck then I’d have to agree; Ryan Getzlaf would be my choice too (and the only Ducks’ player I’d really consider for an offer of such magnitude). Check out the full letter here.

Finally, I just want to say congratulations to Earl on the new BoC logo. It looks great! Now I’ll have to push myself to get our new header done sooner rather than later… For those interested, here it is.

Christy Leigh Finn is the Girl with a Puck

Not surprisingly, Finny’s latest post covers the Penner offer sheet as well. Read all about it here.

She also wrote an entertaining piece about Travis Moen and a recent interview (article) where he answers the important questions, such as which Duck would fail miserably at farm life the most? His answer - Teemu Selanne. Check it out here.

Next up is something for all you guys out there; the Ducks ‘Power Players’ (couldn’t they come up with a sexier name?) tryouts. You can get a look at what it takes by clicking here.

The Flying V

In a blog that’s actually newer than my own, we find random ramblings included a call to duty for any Ducks fan who knows his prospects and finance. Have what it takes and want to help the Flying V grow? Head on over for more details.

Next up are some photos and excerpts on Lord Stanley’s day with resident francophone Ducks, Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Francois Beauchemin. To take a look click here.

Lastly, The Flying V introduces their Player of the Week post. The inaugural player is Dustin Penner. Ironic, in that he may not be a Duck much longer. A great addition to a new blog, give it some love here.

On the Ducks Wire

It’s hard for me to keep up with the massive amount of posts the Wire churns out, but the latest is all about hot topic Dustin Penner and Lowe’s snipe attempt. Read it here.

Next are quite a few posts with different videos and links on players’ days with the Cup. Some of them are: Ryan Getzlaf - Chris Kunitz - Dustin Penner.

Interested in joining the Ducks Official Street Team? Maybe you want more info on the Ducks’ Fan Cruise? If you’re a Ducks fan, you should want to check both out.

The leftovers:
