Vatrano Hat Trick Ignites Ducks Unexpected Defeat of Avalanche

Well, who saw that coming? The Anaheim Ducks traveled to Colorado to wrap up their six-game road trip with a matchup against the defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche. The Ducks were fresh off of their Mullett Arena debut, where they handily defeated the Arizona Coyotes and looked to end their road trip on a high […]

Ducks Let One Slip Away in Pittsburgh

This. This is what we were promised this season. The Anaheim Ducks versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. A struggling high-power team against the Kids from Katella. A competitive game with lots of fight; the Ducks showed some heart and came back to take the lead…then lost because they are a young team with little depth. It […]

Ducks Dance With The Devils and They Got Served a 6-2 Defeat

The Anaheim Ducks hosted the New Jersey Devils on Friday night at Honda Center in an ESPN+ exclusive matchup. Besties Jack Hughes and Trevor Zegras were at the center of the game’s marketing as ESPN rightfully highlighted two of the NHL’s brightest young stars. On Friday, the Ducks were wrapping up a franchise-record 10-game homestand […]

Looks Like The Ducks Are Hunting For Bedard

Going into this season, there were several teams that were expected to be bad enough in order to give hope to their fans that they would be able to draft highly touted prospect Connor Bedard in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The Anaheim Ducks were one of those teams and they have lived up to […]

Bruins and Fans Crush the Ducks 7-1

A really good team beat a really bad team tonight at TD Garden West. (Honda Center) The Anaheim Ducks fell embarrassingly to the Boston Bruins 7 to 1. I had written five pages of notes for the first two periods. I just wrote the goals in the third. So, the game got well away from […]

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 […]

Ducks Lack Focus in Loss to Flyers

I watched a lot of great hockey today; unfortunately, it was at the World Junior Championship. We’re here for hockey, but covering this game on a day of amazing sports stories is almost too difficult. I wrote over the weekend that we should celebrate wins and losses with this team and talked about how the […]

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. […]

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 […]
