Steve Palumbo: Bruce Boudreau up for the Jack Adams Award
The Anaheim Ducks early exit from the Stanley Cup playoffs was a bit of a surprise to everyone. What shouldn't have come as a surprise is head coach Bruce Boudreau having been recognized for his teams excellent regular season with a Jack Adams nomination.

Injuries Revealed by Ducks
Tuesday at the Honda Center was spent on exit interviews for players rather than prepping for a game in round two of the playoffs. The Ducks would much rather have been anticipating the Los Angeles Kings than cleaning out lockers.
GM Bob Murray, who was nominated for GM of the year, actually spoke to the media. Murray, unlike Brian Burke, speaks rarely and often looks annoyed...
What Petri Kontiola’s WHC Performance Tells Us
The preliminary round of the World Hockey Championships concluded yesterday. Ilya Kovalchuk of Russia leads the tournament with 13 points. In second in scoring is Petri Kontiola of Finland. He has 12 points. This is a bit of a surprise since Kontiola is not an established NHL player.

Ducks still crushed by early playoff elimination
Two days after Detroit abruptly ended the Anaheim Ducks' season, they still can't believe they're already done for the summer.
The second-seeded Ducks expected a long playoff run after winning the Pacific Division with the best points percentage in franchise history. None of it helped in their seven-game loss to the Red Wings.

Steve Palumbo: Bottom Line: Ducks Didn't Deserve to Win this Series
It's easy to point out all the "what if's" when talking about the Anaheim Ducks and their untimely first round exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But, reality is this team didn't deserve to beat a much hungrier Detroit Red Wings teams.
I didn't like this match-up from the outset and the Wings did everything in their power to support my feelings.

The Red Wings Were A Little Better Than The Ducks
from Helene Elliott of the LA Times,
What should have been a memory for the ages — a Game 7, a defining moment every NHL player craves — evolved into a dispirited 3-2 loss for the second-seeded Ducks, who were a step slower and a split-second behind the seventh-seeded Red Wings most of the night.
"I don't think anybody expected to come up short," Ducks...

Matthew Barry: Bruce Boudreau = FAIL!
Leave it to the Ducks to screw up a showdown with the Kings in what might be Teemu Selanne's final season.
How can the Ducks lose to THAT defense?
I'll tell you how.
Bruce Boudreau in the post season is horrid:
This is his record with an amazing Washington team:
2007-08 Washington - Lost in round 1
2008-09 Washington - Lost in round 2
2009-10 Washington ...

During the third period with the Detroit Red Wings up 2-1, Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf took exception to a penalty that was called on Andrew Cogliano and accused Pavel Datsyuk of diving.
