What Does Your Name Mean?
"From Ducks To Nucks" was probably the hardest part about starting the blog. We knew we wanted to make an NHL Blog but we had no idea what to call it. We kicked around a bunch of dumb ideas and then Adam came up with the idea. "From Ducks" references the first team in the league (alphabetically) which is the Anaheim Ducks, and "To Nucks" references the second to last team in the league (alphabetically) which is the Vancouver Canucks. Obviously "Nucks" is an abbreviation for Canucks. Also, we took into account that Washington is indeed the last alphabetical team in the league but we don't care and neither should you. "From Ducks to Caps" is just stupid. Also, now that Winnipeg has a team the legitimacy of our name is completely thrown out the window.
(Yes I made it myself. Back off)
Why Did You Start Blogging?
Well, we decided to start our blog for a few reasons. 1) We were bored. It was the start of the college semester and there wasn't much going on work wise. 2) On top of that, Adam and I both like to think that we are somewhat knowledgable when it comes to hockey and we felt that we could share our opinions to the general public. 3) For fun. We wanted to see if we could do it and after just a few days we found that this is actually very fun.
