Gibson steals a point for the struggling Ducks

Since the invention of the left-wing lock and Barry Trotz adopting its use to help the fledgling expansion team, the Nashville Predators have not been the most fun team to watch. I believe this team brought about the goalie pad size decrease, eliminating the center line, etc… they’re just a grind to watch. Or to […]

Anaheim Ducks Prospect Spotlight (Forwards)

It’s been a rough quarter season for the Anaheim Ducks in 2022-23. They sit at the bottom of the NHL standings with a lowly 13 points and have only totaled one win in regulation. Their special teams play is some of the worst we’ve seen in recent memory, with their powerplay sitting at 31st out […]

Ducks Fall to Kraken 5-4: Perfect Game for a Tanking Team?

The Anaheim Ducks hosted their Pacific Division rival Seattle Kraken on Sunday evening, their second meeting of four this season and last at Honda Center. The Kraken entered Sunday sitting in 2nd place in the Pacific with 27 points and searching for their 5th win in a row. The Ducks sit drearily at the bottom […]

Ducks: When It Rains, It Pours

It was a full team effort for the Ducks to drop the Black Friday Matinee by a score of 5-1 to the Ottawa Senators. Going into today’s game, the Ducks and the Senators were tied for last place in the NHL with 13 points. Penalties, poor execution, and bad coaching provided the perfect recipe needed […]

In Defense of John Gibson

When an NHL fan hears the name “John Gibson,” they likely think of him as a formerly elite goaltender who has been below average to bad over the last 3-plus years. They would be perfectly justified in that line of thought whether you subscribe to traditional goaltending metrics or lean toward underlying numbers. He carries […]

Better Play But Same Results for the Ducks

The Ducks are off to one of their worst starts in franchise history, as they have just 11 points in their first 19 games, and they have yet to win a game in regulation. The Ducks sit dead last in the NHL about a quarter into the season but to try and look on the […]

NHL’s Bottom of the Barrel: What’s Next?

There are currently five NHL teams who have fewer than 10-points this season. Those teams have played at least ten games, meaning their point percentage is well below .500. If you’re a fan of the Columbus Blue Jackets, St. Louis Blues, San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks, or the Ottawa Senators, you’ve probably started this season […]

Bruins: Lindholm Rises To The Occasion

At 3:37 of overtime, Boston Bruins’ defenseman Hampus Lindholm fired a wrist shot by Pittsburgh Penguins’ goaltender Tristan Jarry to give the Bruins an improbable 6-5 win on Tuesday night. That was the fourth point of the night for the Swedish blue liner, who capped a comeback from a three-goal, third-period deficit to move the […]

NHL’s Reverse Retro 2.0 Jerseys — Ranked 1-32

The NHL released their reverse retro jerseys last week, and while some teams have released some very nice ones, other teams could’ve done a lot better. I ranked them based on several things, including design, logo, overall look, theming of “reverse retro,” and creativity. Here is my ranking of all 32 Reverse Retro 2.0 Jerseys […]

Kraken Drop Opening Night Thriller 5-4 in Overtime Vs. Ducks

The Seattle Kraken opened their 2022-2023 season with a very frustrating 5-4 overtime loss out in Anaheim on Wednesday night. The new roster changes made by General Manager Ron Francis certainly played a factor in the team getting the point, but still, ultimately, was a frustrating result. It’s still extremely early, but a very encouraging […]
