New year, same story, still hoping for a different ending.
Deeply concerning defensive lapses aside to the second worst team in the NHL this year and nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Los Angeles Kings, with the help of the Vegas Golden Knights not showing up to their game against the Anaheim Ducks, managed to solidify their standing of 3rd place in the Pacific Division, giving them, for the third straight year, the Edmonton Oilers as their playoff opponent.

So, the Anaheim Ducks just got pants’d on live TV with hockey night in Canada 9-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs. In what can only be seen as the bottoming out of this season so far, we saw the variance between two ends of the hockey spectrum in almost every way.
At one end, the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team between 2007 – 2016 that had been consistently at the bottom of the Northeast/Atlantic Division, now reaping the rewards of their full rebuild. A team with high draft picks demanding high c...

Good evening Anaheim,
With the current bleak outlook for this Anaheim Ducks squad, there hasn’t been much to look forward to.

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.

The Ducks will do their best to end their losing streak at 7-games tonight as they take on the Washington Capitals for the 23rd regular season matchup. The Ducks are coming off a hard fought loss to the Vancouver Canucks, one of the best teams in the NHL this season and probably the biggest surprise thus far. These two teams hardly get the chance to play each other but anytime the likes of future Hall-of-Famer Alexander Ovechkin, USA hero TJ Oshie, a Strome brother battle, return of the fro (S...
