Ducks Development Camp
What does a Canadian in Irvine, CA do on the Fourth of July? Find interesting hockey of course. The good: Maxin Masse, Solberg and Sidorov look really strong and skilled. Sidorov in particular practices at a faster pace, and Masse skates with power and never seems out of breath. The bad: the rink was closed for the holiday, but they eventually opened it only for the Ducks practices. A couple hundred people watched. The ugly: power skating teaching seemed way way way way too basic for the players. Waste of everyone’s time IMO. The surprising: goalie Clara walking right by me in all of his gear. Looks like Robocop. I have no idea how anyone scores against these mountains of equipment.
