Mike V’s Ducks Blog
A lot of celebrity blogs… well, why skirt around it: they suck. Most of the time you’re reading the ramblings of some hokey ghost writer. When the celeb actually writes themselves, chances are it’s super-bland and about as uninformative and boring as it gets.
But sometimes we’re lucky.
Sometimes we get Mike V.
The Ducks were smart enough to convince Mike V to write regularly for them. He touches on a little bit of everything, from why he’s into the game to how the Ducks are doing on or off-ice to what you say to Brian Burke after he just announced he’s leaving.
His latest entry is about a tv segment he and a few Ducks were doing for Fuel TV:
So with the camera now set Montador takes another solid run at Jordan and Jordan goes flying to the ice. I skate over to the camera and mention how I feel Jordan’s honor should be defended and then I turn to Steve and drop my gloves. Steve drops his gloves and we have a nice little square off. This not being my first picnic, I reach in and get a good hold of Steve and throw a right hand that, if for real, would have done some damage. Steve, realizing this, gets reset and suddenly switches hands and drills me full on in the face with a mean left that was for real and really does some damage. I hear and feel my nose snap, and besides being hit from a mean left from Steve Montador I am hit with the realization:
Steve Montador just broke my nose.
Talk about good TV.
He has a real hockey player and fan reaction about the whole thing. It’s an instant classic, and I hope get the Fuel TV video from it to post.

Randomly: another good celeb blog was Kevin Smith’s who blogged during last year’s Devils playoff series against the Rangers. Only four entries, but all were good. So if the Devils make the playoffs again, maybe we’ll get a few more. Silver linings and all that…
I’m sure neither consider themselves a celeb. No quippy comment there, just saying.
