Ducks related #RandomNHLfacts from @NHLhistoryGirl:
Today's (10/23) hockey history brought to you by Wild Wing's fiery ways. No really. He's on fire. (That was probably a bad idea.)
To balance that out, the Ducks tweeted this out yesterday:
We're celebrating #ThrowbackThursday with a look back at the #NHLDucks (Mighty Ducks) inaugural game. WATCH: http://on.fb.me/UJpSzx .
I love the guy in the teal shirt saying "Let's Go!" that they use repeatedly in that video. They followed it up with a response from a fan who has added to my Christmas list.
