Ducks Must Exorcise Demons

John Hoop | May 5, 2017

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…

Ducks Get Much Needed Break

John Hoop | April 21, 2017

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…

Ducks to Flames: You Can’t Win Here

John Hoop | April 6, 2017

I’ve seen every angle of Mark Giordano’s knee-on-knee hit on Cam Fowler, on top of watching the play live at Honda Center. Fowler is an extremely limber young man and…

Murray’s Management Masterpiece

John Hoop | April 2, 2017

The NHL regular season is drawing to a close and the Anaheim Ducks are beginning to look more and more like contenders rather than pretenders. As is usually the case,…

John Hoop | January 30, 2017
