Anaheim Ducks

What if I gave myself an award, you may ask? If I was very generous, I'd say, "Most Likely to be Craig Janney," because I'm not a top tier playmaker, but I'm steady at making the right pass. If I was joking around, I'd say, "Most Likely to be Mistaken for Paul Kariya." Hey, gotta represent my Asian...

Apparently, the third time's the charm.  This is the third time that a SoCal hockey team made it to the Stanley Cup Finals, and finally... the Cup is coming to Southern California.  The Anaheim Ducks, one of the early season favorites to win it all this season, thoroughly dominated the Ottawa Se...

In this enhanced podcast, we're sad about Martin Havlat, blow a raspberry at the Philadelphia Flyers organization, and salute the Charles B. Wang Ice Hockey Project Hope.  It's a great project that will benefit hockey worldwide eventually... hey, if you can get 1.3 billion people in China mot...

By technologyted@mac.com Zoe and Genevieve also give their updates on the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks (they are "Mighty" no more, but ironically they're even mightier than last year). Finally, I salute the Hurricanes, pine over the retiring players, and take aim with the Islanders.

The Ducks go up to Calgary to play the crucial seventh game of the series on Wednesday night.  This is the final match that needs to be played out in the first round.  If the current trend in the Western Conference continues, then the Ducks should beat the Flames.  The other three series in the We...

By technologyted@mac.com For the second straight game, the Kings held a pre-game ceremony to honor a player; and for the second straight game, the Kings pulled out a gutsy, exciting win. This time it was Luc Robitaille who was honored and the Pacific Division-leading Dallas Stars who were defeated. Robitaille, who...

By technologyted@mac.com Other than the win, the best news for the Kings was the offensive involvement of Demitra, Conroy, and Visnovsky. If the Kings are to hold onto a playoff spot in the tight Western Conference, they'll need offense from their stars and more dependable goaltending. They get one more chance to te...

By technologyted@mac.com With this win, the Kings stayed tied with the Stars for most points in the Pacific Division.
