Oh, how the Mighty have fallen!

6.Oct.2006

Since the Dodgers are playing like they really wished it had all ended in September, I’ve been reading up on the freshly opened hockey season.  I missed the entire second half of last season due to living under a rock affectionately called Basic Combat Training.  So there’s been some serious catching up to do. 

Apparently they are no longer the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.  Now known as simply the Anaheim Ducks I believe they’re slimming down the name in preparation to follow suit with their colleagues across the freeway and soon become the California Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim in Orange County and Tijuana.  This way they can bridge the gap between the Latino community that has a huge fan base in hockey!

One of the few things I liked about the Ducks was the fact that they referred to their arena as the Pond.  Yes, it’s cheesy and a bit sally-ish compared to the likes of the Shark Tank or the Bank Vault but still.  More officially, it was the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim but God Bless those naming rights and the money that comes with them!  The facility is now just the Honda Center.  Sometimes I really wish capitalism would take a flying leap off a rather tall building.

  1. you think “the pond” is sally-ish, how about “petco park” or “minute maid park?” that’s sure to strike fear in the hearts of opponents.
