Hi all! I just wanted to do a quick write on the best and worse things that has happened to the Ducks in the year 2007. Best things in 2007 Beating Detroit in the WCF in 6 games. Winning the Stanley Cup against the Senators in 5 games. I found it funny that most of […]

Time to kick back and enjoy a few as we go spanning the year to bring you the best that The NHL Arena Program has to offer. It has been a long, strange year from the expected to the unexpected right down to the sublime. However, we are going to try our best to span […]

Yes before the Game Of The Week, there is brunchtime with Chris where we liveblog the nice Saturday afternoon (morning for me) game. The Flyers travel to Tampa where the vultures are circling around Tampa Bay especially when they are under .500 and playing well below expectations. Well time to get this started….drop that damn […]

It is fast approaching New Years…time to make a resolution (maybe!) and name some more turkeys. First…the resolution…a promise to only find the cream of the crop in turkeys for next year and not to just put up a turkey just because. That has always been our motto…but we will try even harder next year […]

Well after a couple of much deserved days off….we are indeed back in the saddle again (to quote an old old Aerosmith song). I admit I spent the better part of the two days trying to quell the hockey withdrawal with some good old classic DVD’s and some classic games that were on online. Thank […]

BY Mr. Pogo For the 2nd time in a week we score 5 goals and lose 6-5 in the shootout… Now we’re tied for last in the Atlantic… We aren’t even playing THAT bad but we just can’t win… Like “it’s me” said… This looks like last years team with a bigger payroll. I find […]

No doubt the last two legs of the San Jose – Anaheim trilogy was dominated by the Ducks. The Ducks won last night 5-2 in a physical tour de force effort that had to make Carlyle and Burke very happy heading into the Christmas holiday. Yes they were outshot but really that was only one […]

Mark Recchi is a bum. There. Said and done. Recchi was always one of my favorite Pittsburgh Penguins players. His personality, his game play, his locker room presence, and his leadership with the younger players, all made him a man to be liked and respected. But that all changed when he was put on waivers […]

St. Louis travels to Boston today to face the Bruins in an afternoon tilt….or for you lucky West Coasters who have Center Ice, you can eat some breakfast and watch some hockey….gotta love it!! Boston nearly pulled out a 4-0 deficit Thursday night at home against Pittsburgh but lost 5-4 in a shootout. Considering the […]
