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 […]

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 One Area The Bruins Could Improve At The Deadline

What do you do to improve a hockey club that is 27-4-2 through 33 games of the National Hockey League season? The Boston Bruins are second in the league in goals per game (3.88), third on the power play at a 29.3 percent success rate, and their penalty kill is third at 84.7 percent, just […]

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 […]

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. A mantra forever associated with the sweetest of victories. A mantra that sadly symbolizes an era long passed. Entering year two of the rebuild, Anaheim saw a fresh new face at the […]

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 […]

Panthers’ Tkachuk Suspended Two Games

The NHL announced yesterday that they had suspended Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk for two games for poking Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick in the face with his stick on Saturday night. Tkachuk will forfeit approximately $102,702.70 based on his average annual salary. The money goes to the Players Emergency Assistance Fund. At 19:22 of […]
