Have the Ducks hit bottom yet? If that were the case, there would be nowhere to go but up. The Columbus Blue Jackets are the only team beneath Anaheim in the Western Conference, as well as the NHL. And even the Blue Jackets, who have a whopping two wins, were able to defeat the Ducks. Ouch.It gets a little old to have the same excuses and discussions rehashed over and over...

Martin Erat breaking in all alone, then the stick of Lubomir Visnovsky gets involved.
via the OC Register, “If they’re going to call penalty shots for people slashing the stick or pushing on the hand and not hooking, then there’ll be a lot more penalty shots in the league this year,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said.
