The true beauty of blogging is not found in garnering the recognition and rewards that conventional journalism offers, but in being easily forgotten.  It sounds contradictory to the mandate of good business (and website) ownership to wish your project an inconsequential existence, but in this case I think it’s entirely appropriate.

As of this posting, it has been slightly over five weeks since the last post on Quacked — but no need to fret, the season hasn’t kicked off yet and the games are not for keeps.  Though it is true that the off-season brings with it very little of the excitement of the regular season and playoffs, to suggest that the last month has been uneventful would be patently absurd.  The upshot for Ducks fans is that their team has been relatively unaffected by the maelstrom of recent activity.  For better or for worse, Bob Murray took care of business early and things have remained relatively status quo ever since.

UPDATE (8/10/2009, 12:30PM PT): It’s official – Justin Pogge to the Ducks for a conditional 2011 draft pick.

Darren Dreger is reporting on TSN.ca that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Anaheim Ducks are about to complete a deal that would send Justin Pogge to Anaheim for a conditional draft pick (based on Pogge’s post-trade performance).  It is expected that the trade will be completed today (8/10).

Pogge posted a record of 26-21-5 with a .895% save percentage and 2.70 goals against average for the Toronto Marlies in the AHL last season.  He also had a brief, 7-game stint in the NHL with the Maple Leafs where he went 1-4-1 with a .844% save percentage and 4.36 goals against average.
