The Anaheim Ducks' 6-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night might be the toughest to swallow. Not because they necessarily deserved to win, but because it was obvious that they put forth a quality effort to try and do so. The Ducks are nine games into the season, and at this point, I expect the questions will begin. How are they going to fix this? áWill someone be traded? ...

Evgeny Artyukhin has been suspended for three games by the NHL.á The suspension comes after a hit to defenseman Matt Niskanen of the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night.

We'll also look at who's making a ...

The Ducks step out on a road trip. Time for some team building and a chance to restart this season on a positive note. áTime to show the league that you have one of the top lines in the NHL. áTime to show your fans that Saturday night was just a fluke, a game to forget. áTime to give the fans something to CHEER about (other than a few lousy shots ...

Like so many of you, I have been waiting and waiting months for this. Waiting for the red carpet celebration, to see our boys arrive, to see our team pumped up, and ready to head into battle. I've been waiting for the chance to see what an offensive powerhouse the Ducks possess.á Waiting to hopefully reject my suspicions about the defense. I've been waiting for Ducks hockey. However, I was definitely not waiting for ...
