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 […]

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 […]

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?

Dostal’s 46 Saves Lifts the Ducks

If you had told me this morning that the Anaheim Ducks would give up six powerplay opportunities in this game to the Edmonton Oilers’ number one powerplay in the league…and the Ducks would win? I’d check you for a fever. If you told me that the Ducks would be outshot by the Oilers 22-2 in […]

Ducks Bounce Back and Beat Canadiens

The Ducks snapped a nine game road losing streak last night when they beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-2 at Bell Centre. After an abysmal start to the five game road trip that saw the Ducks lose 3-0 to the Ottawa Senators and 7-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs (not to mention a 6-1 loss to […]

Vibes Hit All Time Low as Leafs Shutout Ducks 7-0

For the Anaheim Ducks, this game was doomed since Jump Street. The Ducks came into Tuesday’s game in Toronto against the Maple Leafs having only squeezed out 6 points in their prior 13 games and, in their last 2, have been outscored 9-1. It was about to get far worse as Toronto entered this contest […]

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 […]
