Anaheim Ducks

An Early Look at John Klingberg’s Trade Market

A large disco ball dropped, champagne bottles popped all around the world, and kisses were shared, ushering in a brand new year on planet Earth. On a slightly smaller scale, it also meant a clause in a contract for a certain defenseman for the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks was altered. John Klingberg’s 1-year, $7 million contract […]

Mason McTavish’s Announcement Game Lifts Ducks Over Sharks in OT

Welcome, one and all, to the Mason McTavish Show! He has arrived. The Anaheim Ducks hosted the San Jose Sharks for a Friday night showdown on national television at Honda Center. This was game seven of a ten-game home stand for Anaheim, in which they’ve managed a 2-3-1 record. The Sharks entered play looking to […]

Gibson and McTavish Outshine Stars

John Gibson earned his first shutout of the season to lead the Ducks to a 2-0 victory over the Dallas Stars last night at Honda Center. Gibson stopped all 35 shots, which included some big saves in high-danger areas. After missing two weeks due to injury, Gibson has started all four games since he has […]

The Improved Ducks Power Play: How it Works and How it Doesn’t

After being one of the worst teams on the power play all season, the Ducks are finally starting to turn it around. On December 14th, the Ducks owned the 30th ranked power play at a measly 14.3%. The power play was stagnant, passive, and lacked basic puck movement. Everyone stayed in the same general area […]

Ducks Fan New Year’s Resolution: Patience

As we get past the holiday and into the New Year, I reminisced about of the state of Anaheim Ducks hockey one year ago. We were the surprise team in the NHL, first or second in the Pacific; John Gibson was playing his ass off and became an All-Star along with Troy Terry. It was […]

Ducks Continue to Struggle in Blowout Loss to Preds

The Ducks got stomped 6-1 in their Friday Matinee against the Nashville Predators yesterday at Honda Center to close out 2022. It was “Flashback Friday” for the final game of 2022 for the Ducks, and the arena DJ played mostly 1990s songs throughout the day, but the Ducks’ play, unfortunately, did not match the vibes. […]

Report: Bruins In Deep Trade Talks With Familiar Team

It’s that time of the year, as the NHL is fresh out of the Holiday Break and is nearing the halfway point of the season. With that, trade rumors will be heating up around the league as the trade deadline is quickly approaching on March 3rd. That includes the NHL-leading Boston Bruins, who every year […]

The Fall of Ducks Netminder John Gibson

When Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson first came into the league, there was a lot to be impressed with. Gibson, 29, would post great numbers, make the big save when his team needed one, not allow soft goals, and would be a contributing factor as to why the Ducks would win hockey games. It was […]

Gibson Carries Ducks to Shootout Win over Vegas in Return from Injury

The Anaheim Ducks returned from their holiday break to host the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday at Honda Center. Typically this spells certain doom for the Ducks as they entered play with an abysmal all-time record of 4-16-5 record against Vegas. Anaheim entered play having lost their last three games (managing an overtime loss against […]

Dostal, the Post, and a Point

I remember when the Calgary Flames would come into Honda, and it was an automatic win. Evidently? The iron in this building hasn’t been forgotten and did its part in trying to will the Anaheim Ducks to victory. If you’ve been following along, you know that stats and such are what they are but in […]
