Lovable Asshole Corey Perry's Time With The Ducks Is Over
In an unsurprising yet still kind of melancholy move, the Anaheim Ducks have bought out the last two years of Corey Perry’s pricey contract, making him an unrestricted free agent for the offseason. Perry, the 34-year-old winger, played his whole 14-year career with Anaheim, and he leaves the franchi...
The Ducks Are Finally Facing Reality
Finally, the Anaheim Ducks can stop pretending this season is worth saving, or even capable of being saved. Losers of seven straight and 19 of 21, and new residents of the Western Conference cellar, the Ducks fired head coach Randy Carlyle on Sunday and named as interim coach GM Bob Murray. Why is M...
This Is Only The Start Of The Ducks' Makeover<em></em>
No matter what they do, the Anaheim Ducks cannot grab a win to save their lives. The franchise-worst 12-game losing streak that this team has been suffering through since Dec. 18 has featured a cavalcade of leads slipping through their fingers. In just the past week, the Ducks have blown 3-0 and 4-3...
This Was The Ugliest Overtime Since The NHL Went To 3-On-3
I am very sorry to do this to you, but watch the entirety of the overtime period in last night’s Ducks-Oilers game:...
Adam Henrique's New Jersey Homecoming Featured A Beautiful Goal And The "Pads Of Seduction"
When the Devils and Ducks swapped center Adam Henrique for defenseman Sami Vatanen on Nov. 30, it was a quintessential dealing-from-strength move for both teams. New Jersey had a plethora of forwards and was weak in the back, and injury-riddled Anaheim had blueliners but needed scoring. ...
John Gibson's Glove Save Was So Good, It Fooled Whoever Operates The Goal Horn
There’s a weird tic of hockey writers where every great save has to be framed as a “save of the year candidate.” I do this too. Was tempted to do it here. Why? Why can’t we just set up a great save with “here’s a great save”? Do we not trust readers to watch a highlight unless we position it as a po...
Kevin Bieksa Landed Another One-Punch Knockdown
A month ago, Anaheim defenseman Kevin Bieksa took down Philly’s Radko Gudas almost instantly with his right hand when Gudas dared to challenge him....
Kevin Bieksa Lands Leaping One-Punch Knockdown
I’m generally over hockey fights, both for their silliness and their safety concerns. So here’s a good reminder that for as right-thinking as I’d like to imagine myself, I’m entirely willing to drop all principles the second something cool happens....
Ducks Forward Patrick Eaves Diagnosed With Rare Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Anaheim Ducks forward Patrick Eaves has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare condition in which the immune system attacks the body through the peripheral nervous system....
The Ducks Must Be So Sick Of This
Ryan Getzlaf said every season ending hurts if you’re not lifting the Cup, “it doesn’t matter what round it is.” I don’t think I believe him. I think it has to hurt much worse when you’ve come this close, this many times—two conference finals in three years—and when you feel you outplayed your oppon...
The Nashville Predators Are Going To Their First Stanley Cup Final
The Nashville Predators beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-3 tonight to win the Western Conference Finals in six games. Nashville will now advance to their first-ever Stanley Cup Final against the winner of the Ottawa-Pittsburgh series....
Nick Ritchie Tags Viktor Arvidsson With The Mark Of The Beast<em></em>
Viktor Arvidsson headed to the bench bearing a crimson R upon his forehead after being boarded by Anaheim’s Nick Ritchie. That’s great, but let us know when one of the Russian guys pulls this off in Cyrillic. ...
