Entering Game 3, the Anaheim Ducks were behind the eight-ball after losing games one and two of their second-round matchup with the Edmonton Oilers at home. Before dropping two to the Oilers to start the series, the Ducks had not lost consecutive games at home since early March. After winning Games 3 and 4 in […]

The Anaheim Ducks became the first team in the league to advance to the conference semi-finals with a four game sweep of the Calgary Flames. A sweep is always good for the ego of fans, but can often been a curse. Sitting idle with no action can put a team at a disadvantage when they […]

The officials immediately stopped play and sent Vermette to the locker room with […]

Alas, we begin the stretch run. The part of the season when fans start biting their nails, trades materialize, and players on teams out of the playoff picture begin making summer vacation reservations.
