TWTW: Anaheim Ducks Cut Loose Hagman, Blake; Sign Friberg
June 16th, 2012 This is a weekly column that aims to be your one-stop shop for all the notable Anaheim Ducks news that occurred over the course of a given week.

Brian Burke in Toronto: His 5 Best Transactions
May 22nd, 2012 Brian Burke has been with Toronto since November, 2008. For many, he came to a team that had precious little desirable talent playing at the NHL level, and the franchise was lacking top-level prospects.

Why? They are all young, good players that can help the Ducks for another 10 years. It does not make any sense. When you are a team that is not going to...
How the Anaheim Ducks turned it aorund.
January 19th, 2012 The Anaheim Ducks are in only 13th place, and still aren't even close to the playoffs. Most of the season it has been very difficult to get a win, and to get consecutive wins was almost unthinkable. Now the Ducks are currently in a 6-0-1 streak and are playing amazing hockey. Is it to late? Maybe. The Ducks would need to finish the...
