Good evening Anaheim, With the current bleak outlook for this Anaheim Ducks squad, there hasn’t been much to look forward to. Injuries every other minute, the offense running dry and completely fabricated Frank Seravalli rumors, it’s been tough. So, trying to find brevity in this season, a new wrinkle has developed. Corey Perry, the third leading points scorer in Ducks history, is free to sign with a team again. This comes after his contract termination from the Chicago Blackhawks and a s...

The Anaheim Ducks made a shocking trade Monday evening sending young defenseman Jamie Drysdale and their own 2025 2nd Round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for the rights to forward Cutter Gauthier. It was a move that caught both fanbases and everyone else around the league by complete surprise and could change the trajectory of both organizations over the next several years. We asked our staff for their thoughts on some of the more pressing questions to come out of this deal to se...

Photo by Emilio Andreoli/Getty Images Bisseck to the rescue With no Lautaro Martinez and a midweek 120 minutes weighing down the Nerazzurri’s legs, Inter's clash with Lecce didn’t have the look of a pretty affair. That was only a minor roadblock, however, thanks to a superstar showing from Yann Bisseck and a businesslike performance from the entire team. In fact, the eventual 2-0 scoreline was flattering to Lecce if anything, with Inter holding 68% of possession, tallying 20 shots (8 on t...

Nervier than it should have been | Photo by Aitor Alcalde/Getty Images An important three points Villarreal eased fears of being sucked into a relegation battle with a win in their last game before the Christmas break. The Yellow Submarine raced into a 3-0 lead against strugglers Celta Vigo on Wednesday night before making hard work of the win. Alfonso Pedraza rifled one home from an angle before limping off with an injury, and it was 2-0 when Aissa Mandi calmy dispatched a rebound fi...

While they dominated possession, Inter were unable to score in regulation and for the 7th time in the last nine Coppa Italia round of 16 matches, they took the game to extra time. Luck ran out as Inter quickly scored ...

Good Morning Anaheim, As our Ducks sit in the middle of a rather impressive 3-13 stretch of games and the Christmas break coming soon, multiple questions remain on this Ducks team. What changes have been made in the lines to offset the loss of McTavish and Z? What can this losing skid tell us about the coaching staff and the Ver-Build as a whole? And should we all just dig our heads in and rewatch highlights from that two-week span when we were a wildcard team? Well, the answers to those ...
