Pronger for Lupul

The first big trade in this off-season was dealt today when the Ducks traded Joffrey Lupul (along with a prospect (Ladislav Smid) and three draft picks) for Edmonton's Chris Pronger. In my opinion this was a great move to boost our defense and help Scott Niedermayer. Also this'll fill the void in losing Ruslan Salei who signed with the Florida Panthers.

Let the moves continue!!!

2006-2007 will be an awesome year for the Ducks! Great job, Burke!

Season is over... but changes are coming!!!

It was a tough (but well-fought) Western Conference Finals series for our Ducks. Although we didn't move on to the Stanley Cup finals this time around, we had an awesome season with many accomplishments and much to look forward to for next season.

Considering we have a new owner, general manager, coaching staff and a bunch of rookie players, the team had an awesome season. Many records were broken. Most wins, most points. Teemu Selanne got his 1000th point! It's going to be a great 2006-2007 season next year.

Next season, we'll have a new logo, color scheme and possibly a new arena name, too. More changes, but beyond that, more positive changes.

Go Ducks in 2006-2007!

We're in the hole...

Edmonton goalie, Dwayne Roloson, sure has our number. From the way he looked on Friday and yesterday's game, he'll have a chance to move the Oilers into the Stanley Cup Playoffs in two more games to be held in Edmonton.

Our Ducks are certainly in the hole and with a few adjustments (getting traffic in and around the goal crease, creating "ugly" goals, beating a stingy defense, etc.) they can do it. We've come from behind before...

Go Ducks!!!

It Might Be Edmonton

Game 5 in the Edmonton-San Jose series took a turn against the Sharks as the Oilers won, 6-3. Now the series moves on to Edmonton's home ice in game 6 on Wednesday. The winner of this series will meet with the Ducks in the Western Conference Finals.

How Sweep it is!!!

We're half way there! Eight wins down, eight to go... That's the vision the Ducks currently have as they dominated the Avalanche last night in Denver, 4-1. The Avalanche had a great first period but soon petered out and sputtered at the end.

Now with a well-deserved rest, the Ducks are home waiting to see who they'll play next, San Jose or Edmonton. In that series, the Sharks are up 2-1 with game four tonight in Edmonton.

Go Ducks!

Loopy over(time) Lupul...

Joffrey Lupul's four-goal game set many records... Most for a Duck in a single playoff game, first playoff hat trick. It was a great OT win for the Ducks who took advantage of a bad pass that was taken advantage of. Also a bit of luck helped the winning goal get in. Brett Clark, on the defense, deflected Lupul's shot and that got Jose Theodore out of position for the five-hole OT winner!!!

Just one more to go and the Ducks are, again, in the Western Conference finals in three years.

Go Ducks!!!
