Ducks Continue To Win

from Scott Burnside and Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, Burnside: Greetings, my friend. Well, every day it seems the playoff picture in both conferences becomes murkier and murkier.

Anaheim Ducks: What Went Wrong This Season and How It Can Be Fixed

The Anaheim Ducks boasted last year's highest scoring defender, most threatening top line, the league MVP, and perhaps the greatest veteran in today's game with Teemu Selanne coming back for another year.

Predictions for the Anaheim Ducks Upcoming Road Trip

At ten points out of the 8th seed in the Western Conference, the Anaheim Ducks are within striking distance of playoff contention.

Shades of last season: New year means new Hiller

The Ducks have seen this Jonas Hiller before, and, ironically, it is when the new calendar year begins.
