The duck is perhaps the least feared of all Nature's waterfowl.
It's diminutive appearance and non-threatening demeanor hardly give the image of a fearsome foe.
By contrast, the shark is a monster in the seas. Its name alone can send a hundreds of beachgoers running for their lives.
Tonight, the hockey embodiment of these two creatures will meet for the first time this season. The San Jose Sharks have lived up to their namesake, devouring the competition. The Anaheim Ducks have certainly made this author more than a little apprehensive the next time I stop by the park pond.
This is not a game to be missed.
