No it wasn’t formally announced anywhere but if you ask me, both Scott Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne will be coming back this season…
Last night the Ducks hung up their banner for the 2007 NHL Stanley Cup Championship and in listening to how Selanne and Niedermayer responded to questions regarding  retirement… I get the feelings that […]

This whole feud between Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke and Edmonton Oilers GM Kevin Lowe just will not go away…
The question at stake is basically:
Can you justify taking a second year, unproven player from a salary of $400K to $4.25 Million?
I think in Kevin Lowe’s situation you can. Let me explain.
When you’ve whiffed […]

Two things were apparent last night in the Ducks loss to the Detroit Red Wings…
1. The Ducks are lacking a dynamic offensive threat. i.e. someone who can create offensive shots at the net from pretty much nothing. You know someone like Teemu Selanne…
True they signed Todd Bertuzzi to assist offensively but he’s the kind […]

The Anaheim Ducks announced that they have signed Goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere to a 4 year $24 Million contract.
The goalie was one of the top performers in the Ducks run to the Stanley Cup and would have been an unrestriced free agent.

They’re tough, they hit hard and some players on other teams have said they’re one of the dirtiest […]

Some of you may be thinking that this is coming a day early but it’s actually coming a day late.
You see the Stanley Cup Playoffs  were over last night after Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals when the Ottawa Senators (ON THEIR HOME ICE NO LESS) couldn’t even beat an Anaheim Duck team without […]

Anaheim Ducks defensemen Chris Pronger received a 1 game suspension to be served for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals for delivering an elbow to the head of Senator forward Dean McAmmond.
I think it was a stupid play.
It was a stupid play because he should have reserved that elbow for someone a little more […]

Don’t look now but the Anaheim Ducks are about to sweep the Minnesota Wild in the 1st round of this years Stanley Cup Playoffs.
This post isn’t actually about the Ducks however…
This post is about the NHL playoffs.
If you’re on the fence, if you’ve ever been on the fence, if you’ve ever considered watching a game […]
