Ducks' Hiller blanks Red Wings for 14th straight win
**And I'm not disappointed with our effort. We played hard mrazek was great. But once again our pp killed our chance to win this game. We had I think 5 chances to score. Obviously we didn't have our usual pp guys, man I miss mule, but still that's no excuse for the group of guys we have now. Maybe with Bert out now jurco can come up and bring an extra dimension to the pp. I'm still hoping that helm and Pavel will be back by Thursdays game
**Good game guys. despite getting only 2 of 6 californian points this game should still give some confidence heading to NY. I just hope that with Tatar home we will have Dats and Helm back on Thu. Go Wings go! Good luck Ducks
**Historic? Not yet it's not. And the Ducks are on the front page more often than many other teams. Why do you care how often they're on the front page anyway, you know it doesn't affect the games right?
**Ducks are clearly learning from their mistakes the past few seasons. Could be a dangerous team come the end of the year. My hope is that when they fall off this high they are in right now they don't fall hard. When teams do that it's sad to watch. Ducks deserve it so far. Keep playing hard!
**Anaheim's penalty kill moves up to 15th in the league. 81.5% They average the 7th lowest penalty minutes per game at 10.0, Detroit is 5th, San Jose 4th, Chicago 2nd. Randy Carlyles Leafs average the 2nd most penalty minutes per game at 13.5, yeah I dont miss Carlyles style at all. I see the style of his teams hasnt changed much in that regard. Long gone are the Days when the Ducks took 20 penaltys per game against the Red Wings.
**Good win, special season (so far), atrocious officiating. IMO, Detroit is still making the playoffs. Tonight's game reminded me why I loved Babc.o.c.k. as our coach and hate playing against his teams.
**The Ducks have shown some serious signs of resilience to adversity this season. I still contend it's Getzlaf's turnaround. I wanted that dude gone for the last 2 seasons now due to lack of leadership. He took that slapper that opened his face up - and was never played with the same physicality & nasty edge when needed. He has been the key difference on the ice - and his play brings opportunities to others in the lineup. He will be the difference in the postseason, good or bad.
**Would this not make a great SCF series? All these years of us constantly meeting in the playoffs for it to be in the finals for once would be an epic series. GG Wings was closer than I would've liked.
**Of all the times that these two teams have met in the playoffs since the 90's, there's only been two years where the victor didn't go on to the Stanley Cup Finals. It would be pretty neat to see them face off for the Cup.
**Great game till the very end. It's amazing how the crowd and fans seem to get more and more intense/involved every game as this streak goes on. It's really something special to be a part of. Keep it going Ducks!!
**You didnt do anything. the redwings didint do anything either. they got shutout. ducks had some trouble finding the back of the net tonight. no big deal. No captain took them a while to get used to but they handled it.
**Agreed. Red Wings were playing very tight tonight. So were the Ducks. Intense, high-energy, high-blood-pressure game for sure. Good on ya, Wings!
**Butttt the big difference in the washington Ovechkins and Ducks (even from last year) is that Bruce can roll 4 solid lines night in and night out. While in Washington coaching the Ovechkins , he could roll 2, and 2 only.
**Call it luck if it'll make you put down your head smoothly on your pillow at nights :)....Your team/coach was lucky that Bruce didn't pound the center divider in Patrick Roy's face in game one for his psychotic outburst
**In his 14th straight victory, Hiller blocked 22 snubs from the Nhl.com writers and won the game 1-0. The lone goal was scored by the editorial department who told their writers to make the Ducks today's headline.
**the canucks desperately need points but I think the only way the ducks lose is if getzlaf doesnt play hes got 2 extra days off I think he plays wednesday night.
**Yeah but the way the NHL is nowadays due to the fact that they go for offense and points and all that, he won't be in contention. It's not all about "putting up points" . This kid in turning 20 next week or quite soon. Didn't expect to make the NHL roster. Made it , and he has been an amazing player. GREAT Ice vision, Hockey smarts out of this world, playing the opponents top lines and having a +23 i believe now, his skating ability, his hands, outlet /break out passes are amazing, can play both left and right side, can play with any other D man on the team, gets back on D when caught in the O zone, plays the body more now, he's just going to be crazy good for years to come.
