Still holding onto 6th place in the Western Conference

Well, the six-game winning streak came to an end last night as the Colorado Avalanche beat our Ducks 4-3 in Denver.

It's a minor setback, but I'm sure we'll be in a great position for the playoffs!!!

Tonight, we face the Dallas Stars in Dallas then come home to a four-game homestand against Dallas (3/31), Vancouver (4/2), Los Angeles (4/4) and Dallas (4/6).

This will be followed by our last road trip to Los Angeles (4/8), Vancouver (4/10), Calgary (4/11), Edmonton (4/13) and San Jose (4/15).

Our final game will be at home against Calgary on 4/17/06.

We'll see you guys in the playoffs!!!

Go Ducks!

Ducks Win With An OT Penalty Shot!!!

What an awesome game! It came to overtime in this come-from-behind victory for the Mighty Ducks. They were down by three goals twice in this game when Jonathan Hedstrom wristed a penalty shot five-hole past Colorado's rookie goaltender Peter Budaj last night at the Anaheim Pond.

The Ducks are currently in 6th place, just one point behind the Avalanche in the Western Conference standings. It's a tight race with just a few weeks to go in the season! Five points separate 5th through 10th in the West.

Go Ducks!

Trade Deadline Transactions

Wow!!! What a day of activity for the Ducks!!! Here are the major guys we traded and who we got in a nutshell:

Sandis Ozolinsh went to the New York Rangers for a 2006 third-round draft pick.

Keith Carney went to Vancouver Canucks for Brett Skinner and a 2006 second-round draft pick.

We received Jeff Friesen from the Washington Capitals for a 2006 second-round pick and obtained defenseman Sean O'Donnell from the Phoenix Coyotes for minor league center Joel Perrault.

I would have to say that these were interesting trades. Veterans for younger players, loss of two blueliners for a defender and LW. It's hard to say how this will affect our run into the playoffs. Only time will tell.
