Following the 2011 Compuware NHL Premiere, the Ducks will return to the U.S. to host the Pacific Division rival San Jose Sharks in their 2011-12 Home Opener on Friday, Oct. 14 at Honda Center (7:05 p.m.). Anaheim’s 2011-12 regular season schedule includes 82 games in total, 40 at Honda Center, 40 on the road in North American venues and two in Europe. For the fourth consecutive season, the Ducks will play six games against Pacific Division opponents (24 games total), four games against each non-divisional Western Conference team (40 games), and 18 contests against Eastern Conference opponents. Anaheim will play each NHL team at least once in 2011-12, including the newly-relocated Winnipeg franchise on Saturday, Dec. 17 at the MTS Centre.

Other Eastern Conference teams to visit Anaheim in 2011-12 include the New York Islanders (Jan. 6) and Ottawa Senators (Jan. 21). Anaheim will face its Southern California rival Los Angeles Kings at Honda Center on Thurs., Nov. 17 (7:05 p.m.), Tues., Dec. 6 (7:05 p.m.) and Fri., Mar. 16 (7:05 p.m.)

In addition, there are four games scheduled for October, six for December and February, seven for January, and one for April. Anaheim will have a pair of season-long six-game homestands, including Nov. 25-Dec. 6 and Dec. 29-Jan. 10.  The Ducks will compete in 12 sets of back-to-back games this season, three fewer than 2010-11 and five fewer than 2009-10.

Did We See Teemu's Last Regular Season Home Game?

Congrats to the Anaheim Ducks for clinching a playoff berth last night at Honda Center, and doing it against the LA Kings (sweeter). Teemu Selanne was the game's number one star, and for good reason; he scored 2 goals, including the game winner. His post game interview was delayed while the fans in attendance chanted, "One More Year..."

As a 40 year old man playing at this level in professional sports, Selanne continues to amaze. He has 31 goals (19th overall) and 80 points (8th overall)this season. With his 16 power play goals, he is ranked #3 overall.

Selanne will be 41 in July. Will he continue? Only Selanne knows, but he has some examples from NHL history to look to. Among them, Gordie Howe. Howe set the standard for producing well into retirement years. He played until he was 51, and in his 40th year scored 44 goals and had 59 assists. Mark Messier played until he was 43 and in his 40th year notched 24 goals and 43 assists. Steve Yzerman retired at 40, but not before scoring 14 goals and dishing 20 helpers.

To watch Selanne play is to watch a man who does not seem too old to play. He's a force to be reckoned with. Each night he pulls off moves, shots, passes that cause onlookers to shake their heads in disbelief. It is impossible for me to believe that this faucet of NHL greatness will simply turn off over the summer. My guess, Selanne is coming back. What do you think?

Teemu Selanne Notches Yet Another Career Distinction!

Teemu Selanne is the first player in NHL history with four score-tying goals in the final 3:00 of the third period in one season. Selanne has scored all four such goals (all in the last 2:07 of the third) over the last 18 games, including each of the last two contests. The Ducks won all four games in overtime. A recap, including a video link of each tally:
Watch video of Selanne’s score-tying goals: here.

DATE	OPPONENT	FINAL SCORE	TIME OF GOAL	TYPE OF GOAL
Feb. 11	@ Calgary	5-4	17:53	6-on-4
Mar. 4	vs. Dallas	4-3	18:57	6-on-5
Mar. 20	vs. Calgary	5-4	17:59	5-on-4
Mar. 23	@ Dallas	4-3	19:53	6-on-5

Holy Crap, What a Game! 3-2 Ducks

There are some nights when I feel guilty that I get paid to come to Ducks games. Tonight is definitely one of those nights. If you have a chance to see a replay of this Ducks versus Penguins game that featured high-paced, hard-hitting, marquis player hockey, you must do it.

Sid the Kid had two goals. Bobby Ryan dazzled with a goal, an assist and a couple of hits (one on Crosby) that will show up in hits vids around the league.

I don't know who mixed the Ducks Gatorade in the locker room, but I hope he kept the recipe.

See you Sunday versus the Predators.

Ducks vs Lightning

I have to be honest, I wasn't real optimistic about the Ducks chances last night against a Tampa Bay team that is ripping a hole through the NHL. But, I was pleasantly pleased with the team's performance.

Of course, just about any time Teemu Selanne touches a puck with his stick or boot, he's moments away from another milestone on an NHL All-Time List. The Finnish Flash delivered with a Power Play Goal and an Assist. He now moves into a tie with Al MacInnis for 33rd place on the all time points list.

The Lightning's Steven Stamkos is the real deal. He scored a highlight reel goal and continues to lead the lead in scoring. But the highlight for me was the 3rd period game-tying goal by Kyle Palmieri. He was just called up from the minor league Syracuse Crunch, and notched his 1st NHL goal in his first appearance. Sweet!

Overtime is always a nail-biter because of the "sudden death" element. About 2 and a half minutes in, with most of my nail's still intact, Ryan Getzlaf buries an amazing pass from Selanne to seal the 2 points.

Thanks, Duck boys, for restoring my optimism. See you Friday (versus Pittsburgh).
