The game last night versus the Stars was probably one of the biggest reasons I love hockey so much: it was frustrating, exciting and darn near killed me in the end. The first period was a great 20 minutes for the Ducks; they played their ‘A’ game and dominated the period. When the first intermission [...]
This was emailed to me this morning, in response to the Paul Gaustad hit on Ryan Getzlaf, resulting in Getzlaf’s broken nose. I was interested to see what you all thought on the subject:
“Why is it that if an Anaheim Duck player turns into a player on purpose and that player gets hurt, they [...]
And so it begins…….Anaheim traded Chris Kunitz and prospect Eric Tangradi to the Pittsburgh Penguins for defenseman Ryan Whitney. Now, I am sad to see Kunitz go; I really like watching him play. However, the Ducks are in desperate need of defense and seem to think they’ll get it with Whitney. I haven’t done [...]
The Ducks played this past weekend in back to back games Friday and Saturday night. Friday night saw the Ducks in Detroit to play the Red Wings. They played a much better game than the score indicates; the Ducks lost 5-2. Giguere was in the net and although the score says otherwise, he stopped a [...]
This was a better game than the Thrasher game – by far – but the result is still a loss. The Kings played a hard game, the Ducks kept it interesting. Well, if you were in the arena anyway. I’m not sure how it came across on television, but the crowd energy was up, as [...]
Well, I don’t save much to say other than the Ducks have been doing this all season: losing to teams that they shouldn’t be losing to. The 14th place Atlanta Thrashers?? Where was the forechecking?? Wait – where were the Ducks? The Ducks were way too timid through most of the game. Maybe all the [...]
How many heart attacks can one fan stand in a game? Every fan has their story; I’ve had numerous ‘heart attack’ games this season and the game against the Flames is a big one! The Flames came out hard, but the Ducks dominated the game. If you don’t watch goalies too much, this game would [...]
Tonight, the Flames come to the Ponda….oops!…Honda Center for a rematch. The Ducks have a winning streak going against the Flames here at home and I’m figuring the Flames will come out hard to revenge their loss from last Saturday. On the goalie side, Giguere is 10-1-0 against them at home; he’s done well and [...]
As this is my first blog about the Anaheim Ducks, I’ll start by trying to get up to date with the team so far. This has been a real up and down time for us fans; we’ve seen a lot from the team and not all of it good. We’ve had injuries, reassignments, trades, [...]
