Regular Season

The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and the Ducks are in an interesting position. They are most likely to be sellers, however, if the Ducks continue to win a lot of games and close in on the playoffs, then they might be keeping more players than if they were to be sellers. Here’s somethings to keep an eye on.

Take a look at the current Conference Standings…notice something off? The Washington Capitals are in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference with 56 points. The 8th seed Toronto Maple Leafs also have 56 points… The reason Washington is in third place is because they are 1st in the Southeast Division and the first three seeds are given to the division leaders. The same thing goes for the San Jose Sharks who are in 3rd place with 62 points. Points wise, they should be in 7th place. This is not the first time this has been an issue and it won’t [...]

Now that the All-Star Game is over and the break is winding down, the Anaheim Ducks are in for a tough rest of the season. The stretch after the All-Star break is always the toughest and now is the crucial time to start winning and move into playoff contention for the Ducks. Meanwhile, other teams will be trying to hold onto their spot. The Ducks have 34 games left in the season, and every single game counts. They currently have 43 points, and they need roughly 95 points to make the 8th seed. That would mean they have to win [...]

The Anaheim Ducks have five remaining games before the All-Star Break in which they need to go out strong. They start off playing the Vancouver Canucks tonight who are never an easy win. The remaining games are as follows: January 18th hosting the Phoenix Coyotes January 21st hosting the Ottawa Senators January 22nd hosting the Colorado Avalanche  January 24th visiting the Dallas Stars Not the easiest schedule for the Ducks who need a big streak to move up a spot or two. They currently sit 14th in the Western Conference and 16 points out of a playoff spot. I’d to [...]

I have been lobbying for the Ducks to make a move, especially with captain Ryan Getzlaf. However, over the last few days, while the Ducks were winning some games, I’ve had a change of heart. I no longer want the Ducks to make any major moves. Before I explain why, let me elaborate on the Ducks contract situation.

The Ducks are just halfway done with the 2011-2012 season. Unfortunately, the season has not gone the way most people thought it would. Its been an insanely frustrating season for a team with so much talent. They parted ways with long time coach Randy Carlyle and hired Bruce Boudreau. With Boudreau, the Ducks have seen a slight improvement. Lets take a look at the Ducks numbers halfway through the season. 

Anaheim Ducks rookie Devante Smith-Pelly is out 4-6 weeks with a fractured left foot. He blocked a shot during Team Canada’s 8-1 win over Finland at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship. Smith-Pelly has had a decent rookie season with the Ducks, scoring 3 goals with 2 assists and a -10 rating. He had been looking much better the past few games before he was loaned to Team Canada for the World Junior Championships. Unfortunately for him, he will miss the rest of the tournament, which would have been a great opportunity for him to grow as a player. Follow us on [...]
