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!!!

Round 2 Domination (So far...)

Who would have thought the Ducks would be up two games to zip against the Avalanche in Round two? Not many for sure... But, that where the Mighty Ducks are at the moment thanks to a great defense and wonderful goaltending from rookie Ilya Bryzgalov. Game three is tonight in Denver! Go Ducks!!!

Ducks Move on to Round 2!!!

I'll make this a quick one as I'd like to get some sleep...

The Ducks shutout the Flames 3-0 with goals from Selanne, Salei and Friesen. Excellent goaltending from Ilya Bryzgalav sealed Calgary's fate. Sorry, Iginla... It wasn't your teams' night.

Ducks play Colorado in Game 1 of Round 2 on Friday at the Pond.

More later... Go Ducks!!!

The Ducks are in Game 7!!!

Oh, what a game!!! Captain, Scott Niedermayer scored the winning goal in the third period to tie up the first round series with the Flames, three games each.

Knowing this, one team will go home after Game 7; the other will advance to Round 2. The deciding matchup will be tomorrow night (4/3/06) at 6pm PST.

Go Ducks!!!

Game Six Tonight...

It'll be an uphill battle against the Flames tonight at the Pond as our Ducks will be facing elimination if offense isn't produced. We didn't look good in Game 5 on Saturday and deserved the loss. Poor Offense/Defense, Poor PP and PK, Jiggy was pulled after giving up three goals on eight shots... You get the picture. Nothing worked for us.

Get out those Fowl Towels tonight. It'll be loud when we pull it off, but awfully quiet if the Flames have it their way. As a fan said at Game 4, "Hey, that #12 guy, Iginla... I hear he's pretty good..." We've got to mark him and his henchmen tonight!!! Go get 'em. It was a record-breaking season (and a regrouping one, too.), but we need to finish them off the best way we can. Go Ducks and we'll see you at the Pond tonight!!!
