Posted by Varius @ 6:46 PM, Tuesday Jul 15th, 2008

Finally, after a few months of being flagged in StopBadWare.org (who work with Google and Firefox among others), this blog has been cleared and returned to normal status. You will no longer get annoying ‘warning’ pages when visiting, for those who were experiencing them.
The whole thing was the result of an exploit in Wordpress, which [...]

Playoffs in Review: Losing to Dallas

Posted by Varius @ 11:21 PM, Sunday Jun 1st, 2008

Most of you have probably put the Ducks’ first round playoff loss behind you and I hate to open old wounds, but I felt it’s about time I share my thoughts on the series.
I managed to watch every game of the series on television this year, a rare occurrence as I live in hockey-deprived Costa [...]

Where Have I Been?

Posted by Varius @ 9:21 AM, Sunday Feb 17th, 2008

First, I [...]

Finding reasons for Teemu Selanne to resume his playing career.

Posted by Varius @ 11:55 AM, Wednesday Jan 16th, 2008

Ever since the Ducks won a Cup last year, Teemu Selanne has stated how he wanted to go out while at the top. He didn’t want to become a player who keeps playing until he is a shell of his former self. Guys who either need the money, or just don’t know how to say [...]

Sundin or Hossa as Ducks? I don’t think so.

Posted by Varius @ 11:59 PM, Thursday Jan 10th, 2008

Rumors are starting to creep around the league about potential deadline-rentals Mats Sundin and Marian Hossa. The Ducks and Sharks have both been mentioned to be interested.
Obviously, any team in the playoff hunt should be interested, but it’s of my opinion neither player will be a Duck anytime this season. Let’s examine why.
Mats Sundin
Obviously, Sundin [...]

No space in front; who gets the spots?

Posted by Varius @ 11:47 PM, Saturday Jan 5th, 2008

With ever-growing rumors that Teemu Selanne is on his way back to the Ducks this season, I figured we should take a look at the potential logjam at forward this presents Anaheim.
Scoring Line 1
Without a doubt, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry have cemented their statuses this season as first-liners. The problem is, their coveted left-wing [...]

My first game at the Honda Center!

Posted by Varius @ 7:39 PM, Tuesday Dec 18th, 2007

I was up in Los Angeles this past weekend and my buddy scored us some tickets to the Sharks - Ducks game in Anaheim. I’ve only ever seen the Ducks live in London to open this season, so was excited to head on down for the game and to buy myself a Ducks’ Jersey (last [...]

Posts, that is. Actually we have now past the century mark as this post is number 103. I’d like to take this chance to thank everyone who reads my blog, votes on my polls and leaves feedback/comments. I’m not a professional writer by any means, I have no “inside connections” to Anaheim players and staff [...]

Playing “Tag” with the NHL CBA and how it affects the Ducks

Posted by Varius @ 10:44 PM, Tuesday Dec 11th, 2007

With the pending return of Scott Niedermayer, the red-hot issue of “tagging” and “tag space” has been brought to everyone’s attention for perhaps the first real time this season. Many, many people are confused; including NHL General Managers themselves. I have read up on the issue and especially thanks to the latest info posted by [...]

My London report; better late than never.

Posted by Varius @ 5:31 PM, Sunday Oct 21st, 2007

Three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of taking a vacation to Europe with one of my destinations being the O2 arena for the Anaheim Ducks’ season opener against the Los Angeles Kings. Although I had hoped to have posted this while it was still fresh in my mind, getting back to reality and work [...]

Could Anaheim fit both Niedermayer and Selanne if they wish to return?

Posted by Varius @ 10:23 PM, Sunday Sep 2nd, 2007

There is a lot of misinformation going around the ‘Net these days about whether or not the Ducks could welcome Scotty and Teemu back if they do opt not to retire. The simple answer is YES, they could remain Ducks this season. Let’s examine several possible scenarios and the effect it might have on other [...]

The Bryzgalov Situation

Posted by Varius @ 12:05 PM, Saturday Aug 11th, 2007

While there have been other hot Ducks’ topics taking precedence this summer (such as the Penner offer sheet and the potential retirement of both Selanne and Niedermayer), the Ducks have another key issue to resolve sooner rather than later.
Ducks’ GM Brian Burke has publicly stated that he feels backup goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov deserves a chance [...]

Back in Town

Posted by Varius @ 11:31 PM, Tuesday Aug 7th, 2007

If you were wondering why I haven’t posted anything lately, especially with the Dustin Penner decision being a big story, I was out of town without internet access for the past week. I’m back now and ready to get rockin’ on all things ducks once more.
What should you expect this week? My views on Burke’s [...]
