Battle of California - Kings, Sharks, and Ducks

I've been playing the online game Drawception a lot lately (it's a combination of Pictionary and Telephone) and I decided to see how a game would go that started with the phrase: "A fight between a king, a shark, and a duck." This is the result.

Yes, Die By The Blade gets the treatment from Battle of California's resident artist and Ducks writer Earl Sleek. Watch him eloquently revive the Satanic Goat Head, the Buffaslug and the team's most painful moment all in one cartoon.

A great friend and supporter of ours since Day One, SBN's Mike Chen is moving on to pursue new professional adventures. Many of you are familiar with his work via From The Rink, Kukla's Korner, Fox Sports, and numerous other outlets. Our collective thanks to Mike for his tireless efforts, and very best in the future.

Via puckdaddy's link roundup, the OC Register's Ducks Blog has a poll up asking who'd you'd rather have on your team: Ryan Getzlaf or Joe Thornton. As should be the case, Thornton is destroying Getzlaf.

Mirtle's made another huge signing as the Battle of California (represented in these parts by Earl Sleek) becomes the latest addition to the growing hockey community that James is building.
