Baseball, New Jersies, Pucks, Kesler and, Bonino,

First let me say I will be in Anaheim on Wednesday August 6th for the Dodgers-Angels game.  I also plan to visit the Ducks team store.  Hopefully I can get there by 3pm.  My main question about jersey customization is how long is the wait time?  Second can I bring them what is now my old 3rd jersey and get that customize.  That might be a better option for me for financial reasons rather than a brand new replica.  Every time I go there I end up spending a $100+

Remember when I tweeted out my puck collection on June 17th and the Ducks retweeted it offering me a free autographed Puck.  Well it arrived yesterday and it was from Nick Bonino who got traded the day BEFORE.  Oh the irony the Ducks finally send me a free puck and by the time I get the player who signed it is no longer on the roster.  I think its easy to say who my favorite non Duck player is now.

As far as the Ryan Kesler trade goes I think most Duck fans were shocked to see that Bonino got traded.  After the Ducks were eliminated from playoffs I thought to myself that Bonino and/or Andrew Cogliano could be moved if the deal was RIGHT.  As the weeks went by I was content with giving up Emerson Etem for Kesler that I tweeted as much.  I thought Etem, Rickard Rakell, and Devante Smith-Pelly would all go before Bonino.  However you have to give up something to get something and it was not like Bonino was a untouchable.  So once again Thank you to Nick Bonino for not only the Dallas series clinching goal in OT but everything you did as an Anaheim Duck.

Welcome to the Anaheim Ducks, Ryan Kesler
