Selanne’s Return Spurs Ducks in Islander Shutout
The Ducks now head to Washington, D.C., for their personal tour with President George Bush and a ceremony honoring their Stanley Cup win in June. Today was Super Tuesday in the political spectrum, but for the Ducks, it really was super. Selanne returned and contributed and the Ducks find thei...

Ducks Acquire Weight for McDonald
The Ducks finally made the trade that had been anticipated since Scott Niedermayer announced he was not retiring last Wednesday. General manager Brian Burke took his time and weighed his options. In the end, Andy McDonald was sent to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for veteran Doug Weight...

Ducks Best Buffalo 4-1
Up to this evening the story has been the Ducks slumping. This evening the Ducks have a new distraction - Scott Niedermayer will be returning to the Ducks this year and will begin skating tomorrow. Clearly the news of his anticipated return gave the team a boost. Before the players can deal...

Ducks Focus on Fundamentals at Practice
Geoff Platt, who was recently acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Aaron Rome and Clay Wilson, was recalled to Anaheim. Platt has earned at least a point in each of the nine games played since joining the Portland Pirates. After losing three out of the past four games and being outscor...

Of Tennis Balls and Goalie Sticks - Ducks Friday Practice
The Ducks had their third loss in a row to the Phoenix Coyotes last night and their third shutout in twelve games. At 4-7-1, they have a whopping 9 points, are 4th in the Pacific Division and 12th in the Western Conference. Ouch. The problem has not been a lack of work ethic, which coach Randy Carl...

Ducks Stymied 3-1 By Dallas
The Ducks did not start the second period with more energy than the first. Instead, the Ducks looked flat and Dallas took advantage. Mike Ribeiro scored the second goal on a delayed penalty at 7:48. Jere Lehtinen followed that up by putting a shot past Giguere at 10:03 to make it 3-0. Coach Randy...

Tomorrow there is a practice at 11:00am and at 2:00pm the Ducks will get to visit 130 Regent Street, where the Stanley Cup was originally purchased. The Cup gets to come along as well, sporting the newly engraved names of the 2007 Champions. Thursday the Ducks will make themselves available...

It’s a Boy, It’s a Groin, It’s an Illegal Stick, It’s only 1 Point
So it is only one more point earned towards clinching a playoff spot. Two more to go to clinch. We can do it one point at a time or we can take two points from Dallas on Friday. There are still a ton of possibilities for how the division race plays out. In a strange scheduling, Dallas plays Columbus th...

Ducks Show Persistence in Win over Blues
Instead of Curtis Sanford in goal, Jason Bacashihua got the nod from former Kings coach Andy Murray as a reward for strong recent play. Bacashihua definitely played well throughout the game. The Ducks power play continued to click well and Scott Niedermayer and Andy McDonald both scor...

Parros Nets First Goal of Season in Ducks 3-1 Win Over Chicago
With the two points earned, the Ducks are now four points ahead of Pacific Division rivals the Stars (whom we play once more in Dallas) and the Sharks (whom we play once more at home). Winning the Pacific Division is crucial for good standing to start the playoffs. Every point is critical at th...

Wings Fly Away With A Close One
Notes: Dominik Hasek earned his 7th shutout of the season, and his 75th of his career. Neither team scored on the power play. After Dustin Penner was “benched” for the majority of the last Ducks game, he was back with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry on the second line, moving Brad May back to the 4t...

Ducks Lose To Phoenix in Second Lifeless Effort
If the Ducks play like this during the playoffs, I’m going to be getting a lot of money refunded on unused tickets for unplayed games. I want to see 16 wins in the playoffs. The question is, do the Ducks? As I sat watching the beginning of the Ducks/Coyotes game last night, I saw the first si...

Ducks Suffer After Kings Win Final Meeting
The Kings opened up the scoring about two minutes into the first period when Michael Cammalleri potted his 30th goal of the season against netminder J.S. Giguere. With the Ducks down one, it was time for the grinders to do their work and play physical, hard, and get some energy in the building. T...

Blackhawks Down in Ducks Win
The scoring continued for the Ducks and their power play continues to be red hot of late. Corey Perry, who has finally regained his scoring touch of late, made it 2-0 on a power play opportunity with a nice spin-o-rama move that got the puck behind Khabibulin. Scott Niedermayer and Francoi...

A What Not To Do Primer for the Ducks
First, you don’t have more turnovers than a bakery. With a total of 15 turnovers to the Blue Jackets 5, the Ducks couldn’t have been kinder to their opponents if they wrapped the puck up and tied it with a ribbon. Selanne, ever the charitable minded Finn, had a team high of 3 giveaways. In fact, 11...
