John Klingberg

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.

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%.

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 […]

Dostal, the Post, and a Point

I remember when the Calgary Flames would come into Honda, and it was an automatic win. Evidently?

If you’ve been following along, you know that stats and such are what they are but in […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 11

A disappointing Oilers week this time around. A “scheduled” loss against a team they always get owned by, a “scheduled” win against a team they’ve started owning, and only one out of a possible four points against teams that are below them in the standings, one of them being the second last place team in […]

Sharks Embarrass Ducks to the Tune of 6-1

The Anaheim Ducks hosted the San Jose Sharks Friday night at Honda Center. And when I say “hosted,” I mean they rented the ice sheet out like a banquet hall, and the Sharks threw a raging fiesta. The Ducks were coming off of an emotional battle of an overtime victory against the Carolina Hurricanes on […]

Anaheim Ducks: Who Do You Want To Be Today?

“Destiny is heart, sacrifice, and passion.” A mantra synonymous with Ducks fans as one that brings back memories and warm feelings of nostalgia.
