April Fool's Day Was 2 Weeks Ago.
Perhaps this is the real reason Getzlaf decided to retire.
The moment I heard Getzlaf was retiring I though, "Uh, oh. They didn't decide to keep..."

Selanne is a good example for the opposite side, though. He was a good leader but was never captain (and, as far as I know, never wanted to be).
A quick Google image search will prove you incorrect. There's plenty of photos with Selanne wearing a "C" on his sweater.
Also, see this link:

The board has noted that Fowler might be too soft spoken. However, "volume" has nothing to do with leadership. Selanne and Niedermayer weren't confrontational, but were good leaders. Selanne perhaps the best of all. I think a reasonable idea would be for the players, at the beginning of next season, to vote among themselves as to who should take the helm. If were up to me, I'd select Fowler, then either Henrique or Silfverberg.

Gads, if this was a BM deal it'd be like, "After conferring with Dany Heatley, I've decided to trade Josh Manson's third cousin for Drew Helleson's second cousin twice removed. Neither one knows how to ice skate but they're both taking lessons as we speak. And to sweeten the deal, we just gave Drew's cousin a one-way 18 year 249 million dollar contract extension with a no-movement clause."
Good luck and thank you, Manson.

Geez, shots on goal 16-45? Really? REALLY? Gibson ought to be throwing his helmet at half the team.
Oh well. Enough ranting. Happy New Year everyone!

Geez, Pittsburgh won the game on their first shot on goal.
Was an entertaining final minute of play, though. Puck went everywhere but in the net!
-
Exciting game against Las Vegas last night - eleven goals in two periods!
Interestingly, eleven goals by eleven different players. You don't see that too often.

The Game Day threads handle this. Join us!
Ah-HAA!
Didn't know "Game Day" threads existed! Why on earth do you have to be logged in to even see the category?
Oh well. My 15 minutes of fame just disappeared just like the Duck's 3-2 lead the other night...

We don't seem to have a thread for discussing the good/bad of the Duck's most recent game. Thought I'd start one!
1- Forehead slapping loss last night. Should have won it 3-2.
2- Ducks only had one shot on goal in the last 7:30 of the game. We let the Jets back in it.
3 - I liked the post game interview with Zegras. Didn't pull any punches about the Ducks 2.5 period hockey games. Gibson protege?

At the game last night. Covid/security checks went surprisingly smooth. However, not a fan of the new cashless concessions. The arena was perhaps 50-70 percent full, but my food order took almost the whole intermission because my order got "lost." Ordering using the touch screen took twice as long as a cash transaction. From a Covid standpoint, it couldn't be that good with everyone touching the same screens, and what if you don't HAVE a credit/debit card? I assume since this is so new, they'll get the bugs worked out and it'll be more efficient. But what happens when they get a capacity crowd? Potential nightmare in the making...

Quick question - just who IS this Eichel fellow anyway?..

Entry Draft Day! The yearly extravaganza where, after each draft pick is selected, we all gather 'round and bemoan our GM because he didn't pick our personal favorite! Woo-hoo! Being as we're still FAR away from a deep playoff run I hope we simply select the best available player and go from there. None of this, "The Ducks trade their number three pick to Nashville in exchange for a third, fourth and fifth round pick in the 2048 draft."

I THINK this is where this post should go... Pretty fair article about questionable trades and the upcoming draft for both the Ducks and Kings.

Oddly, it's Gary Bettman's birthday as well.

Gads, we were the ONLY team to go backwards in the lottery. At least New Jersey didn't get it again...

Well, it seems like this is the appropriate place to put the link to this well written article.

Why? what does he bring to the team? OMG this is insanity!
Well, he did almost get a hat trick last night - that should count for something...
(Watch, that'll probably be the only goals he scores all season.)

Anyone want to take bets that BM does absolutely nothing by the trade deadline?

With Buffalo doing so poorly and possibly looking to shake things up, any thoughts about the possibility of getting Montour back if he were to become available?
-
Nice work, Gorb!
The only thing I have to add is that I did see Jason Blake's first NHL game, where he scored his first NHL goal. Assisted by who else but... Rob Blake. I just hope the Kings don't sign a forward named Gibson. We'll be in trouble if they do...

In the category of bizarre lineup questions...
I've noticed over the years that, oddly enough, there aren't a lot of Smiths or Jones' in the NHL. Is it possible that the Duck's lone goal scored last night was the first time in NHL history that a player named Jones (Max) scored against a goaltender named Jones (Martin)?

Speaking of Teemu, I wonder if he himself would make a good NHL coach? The message board would melt if the Ducks announced they had hired him...
-
Well, the "Wild Wing" jersey was always awful looking. However, due to the "reverse" retro plan it does look better in white rather than the original teal. I myself would have preferred a variation on the "diagonally split teal/eggplant" theme. It could be worse. They could have used the HIDEOUS rugby style alternate sweater with the striped sleeves...

damn. epic comeback. wonder if Vegas was having issues in the locker room.
Actually, they were having issues on the ICE... hee-hee...

Well, it kinda is - he was the one in the penalty box!
OK, enough humor and sarcasm. Glad to see Perry, Cogliano and Khudobin in the final! Would love to see Cogs lift the Cup after all he went through with that silly suspension.

Interestingly, Terry was wearing an "A" for the game against San Jose, one game after Getzlaf's last.
