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 [...]

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 [...]

I have decided to introduce a new weekly blog post, summarizing what the other Ducks’ bloggers had to say this week. My mind was drawing a blank on a catchy, fitting name to use for the title so if you have any suggestions, then by all means let me hear them! If you run a [...]

In a slow news week, I figured I’d come up with something original to write about on a rainy (down in Costa Rica) Sunday afternoon. As I’m a longtime wrestling fan (everything from small indy feds up to the big guys like the WWE and TNA), I thought it might be fun to compare our [...]

For those who haven’t taken a look at the Ducks schedule, it is now official here: NHL Ducks 2007-2008 Schedule
Anaheim will start the season off with two games versus cross-town rivals the Los Angeles Kings in faraway London, England. I like this move by the NHL a lot as they are trying to help spread [...]

I’m happy to report the Ducks are NOT one of the 18 teams with at least one player seeking to go to arbitration. This shows me a few things; our chances of resigning Dustin Penner are very good and there aren’t any unhappy team members.
Let’s discuss Dustin Penner some more. Some people seem to think [...]

The first two days of unrestricted free agency have come and gone and there were a slew of signings, many more than I was expecting. The Ducks locked in two former Red Wings for the next two years an seem to be both prepping for a strong run to defend their Cup while also dealing [...]

The Entry Draft has come and gone and no real blockbusters were announced. The Ducks made a few minor moves and here are my thoughts on those as well as the youngsters selected by the Ducks in this year’s draft itself.
First-round: Ducks trade their #16 pick to Minnesota for the #19 and #42 picks and [...]

July 1st is creeping up on us quickly and for fans who love to see players jump teams, Canada Day is like opening gifts on Xmas. Below I’ll list the major unrestricted free agents for the Ducks and what I see happening with them.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere
Arguably the Duck the most rumors have centered around as of [...]

The Ducks hold the 16th overall draft selection this year (acquired from Tampa Bay in the Shane O’Brien deal). Who might they pick? Assuming they don’t try to move up in the draft or trade the pick for a top-4 defenseman, both real possibilities, here are the top 3 players who I would pick should [...]

In just their second season as a “brand new” team (set in motion by Disney selling the team, the dropping of ‘Mighty’ from the name, a new coach and a new general manager) the Ducks are the envy of every owner, GM and coach in the league. They have won the Stanley Cup with an [...]
