Teemu Selanne News

Offense: Absolutely exceeded my personal expectations. I was a little worried when I heard he made the opening night roster, but never once did he look uncomfortable or overmatched on the puck, making smart decisions and causing problems for veteran defenses.

Anaheim Ducks right wing Teemu Selanne skates off the ice following the team's Game 7 loss to the Detroit Red Wings in their NHL Western Conference quarter-final hockey playoff in Anaheim.

Two days after Detroit abruptly ended the Anaheim Ducks' season, they still can't believe they're already done for the summer.

That Bruins-Leafs game was either incredible or awful depending on your perspective, but it sure was good hockey.

The NHL has announced that the Pittsburgh Penguins' Ray Shero, Montreal Canadiens' Marc Bergevin, and Anaheim Ducks' Bob Murray are the three finalists for the GM of the Year Award.

He's a pending unrestricted free agent this summer. With the Anaheim Ducks losing to the Detroit Red Wings in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs following a 3-2 Game 7 defeat on Sunday, the question of whether Selanne will play next season is now being tossed around.

Justin Abdelkader scored a short-handed goal and Jimmy Howard made 31 saves as the seventh-seeded Red Wings won three of the first-round series' final four games to oust the Ducks, who had the NHL's third-best record in the regular season.

For hockey players, Game 7s have a particular resonance - sort of like Christmas morning wrapped up with a trip to the dentist.

For the fifth time since their inception, the Ducks are going to play a winner-take-all Game Seven.

It appeared that the Anaheim Ducks and Detroit Red Wings were heading back to California for Game 7. With less than four minutes left in the game, the Wings were up 3-1, but then, in the blink of an eye, goals by Emerson Etem and Bobby Ryan tied the game up 3-3 with less than three minutes left.

The Anaheim Ducks made a push in the second period of Game 6 against the Detroit Red Wings, generating more of an offensive attack as they look to close out this series.

After two agonizing overtime losses in the previous three games, Ryan Getzlaf figured the Anaheim Ducks were overdue for a break when they headed into extra time yet again.

He was good with his rebounds and made some very big saves on James van Riemsdyk and Joffrey Lupul early on.

The last thing Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said before leaving the podium a few hours before Game 3 was something of a cross between cautionary and prescient.

Nick Bonino scored for Anaheim on a second-period power play - 18 seconds after Detroit's Justin Abdelkader was ejected for a violent hit on Toni Lydman - and the Ducks went on to a 4-0 victory Saturday night to take a 2-1 series lead over the Red Wings in the Western Conference playoffs.

The building opened in 1979 i 1 2 built largely according to plans drawn up in the 1950s.

Well this game will probably make me angry by the time Saturday night rolls around and I have to face the fact that the Wings blew a three-goal lead in the third period and had to get bailed out by a dumb penalty by Sheldon Souray .

FSD experiencing technical difficulties meant that the beginning of the game was brought to us via the Anaheim feed.

Scoring on three power plays, including in overtime, while the Ducks took undisciplined penalties gave the Red Wings a 5-4 victory.

The Anaheim Ducks capitalized on the power play during the first game of their series against the Detroit Red Wings, and taking advantage of power-play opportunities is one of the many lessons that can be learned from the first game of each 2013 Stanley Cup playoff series.
