Anaheim Ducks

Its almost over. The end is near for the Flyers and this dreaded road trip. Friday night, the Flyers won a hard fought rough game against the Ducks in the shootout. Follow that up with a pretty poor performance against the Kings last night by losing in a shootout and what do they get, first place i...

Fans pick four Canadiens to start for East* When it comes to the 2009 NHL All-Star Game starting lineup--as voted on by the fans, and officially announced on Jan. 3--there are, quite simply, Habs, and Hab nots. Of the six starters for the Eastern Conference, four hail from the Montreal Canad...

In other news that I am slow to get on, the Leafs have a new Gee-Em in office. And if I may borrow a phrase from Mr. Avery here… what is with Toronto falling in love with all of California hockey’s sloppy seconds? Brian Burke of Anaheim-Ducks-Stanley-Cup-07-fame joins long time frenemy Ron Wil...

Obviously, it’s way too soon to even think that we have a grasp of what the league standings will look like this year. But still, it’s fun to speculate.) *Eastern Conference* Carolina Hurricanes: 2-1-0 Hah, gotta start with my boys, whether they deserve to be on this list or not. Well, first of...

POWER PLAY*: Dallas outscored Anaheim, 10-5, with the extra man. Of course, it did not hurt to have FOURTEEN more opportunities with the man-advantage. This was mostly due to the Ducks’ insistence on taking some very silly penalties; especially in the first two games in Cali. Just what Chri...

Most Hype That Actually Delivered*+ _*The 2008 Winter Classic*_, _Ahh The Great Outdoors_ The 2008 Winter Classic in Buffalo was truly a treat for all hockey fans. I commend the NHL for doing something a little different this season (honorable mention to the Ducks/Kings season opener in...

The Stars have continued their winning ways in forging a small lead in the Pacific Division. Currently, Dallas is two points up on San Jose, but the Sharks have four games in hand on Dallas. The Stars are 6-3-1 in their last ten games, including a three game sweep of a swing through Western Cana...

My spirits were lifted by the second period of the Ducks/Flames game. I love watching these two teams. Two really physical teams always make for a good match-up, and that is my kind of hockey! This game was fairly quiet though considering, and the Flames killed it after the second period. I had...

But let’s get all “what if” for a second here. What if Tony is still in career-limbo, like Niedermayer was? What if. Tony could possibly have been the Presto-Log for the dwindling Calgary Flames this season. It certainly could not hurt. Afterall he did put up decent digits last season (10 assis...
