Good Morning Anaheim,
With the All Star break in full swing (yes it is going on, and no I haven’t been watching), it seems like a good time to go through pieces of the Ducks roster and see how each player has been. And with the current outlook of the roster and the trade deadline looming large, the best scale to rate these players seems to be in the ilk of buying and selling. So treating the current Ducks players like stocks, let’s go over who we should buy, sell, hold or dump comin...

Atlanta United played Memphis 901 to a 1-1 draw on Saturday out in Athens, in a game that was rife with hard tackles, cards, dust-ups, and everything one would expect from a mid...

Good evening Anaheim,
With the current bleak outlook for this Anaheim Ducks squad, there hasn’t been much to look forward to. Injuries every other minute, the offense running dry and completely fabricated Frank Seravalli rumors, it’s been tough. So, trying to find brevity in this season, a new wrinkle has developed. Corey Perry, the third leading points scorer in Ducks history, is free to sign with a team again. This comes after his contract termination from the Chicago Blackhawks and a s...

The Anaheim Ducks made a shocking trade Monday evening sending young defenseman Jamie Drysdale and their own 2025 2nd Round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for the rights to forward Cutter Gauthier. It was a move that caught both fanbases and everyone else around the league by complete surprise and could change the trajectory of both organizations over the next several years. We asked our staff for their thoughts on some of the more pressing questions to come out of this deal to se...

Good Evening Anaheim,
As we draw the end of this calendar year, it felt but fitting to look ahead to the next year. And with a new year comes a new year of aspirations, goals and desires for one to pursue for either the entire year or quit by mid-February. So with the year coming to a close for the Ducks, let’s look at what each player’s hypothetical New Years Resolution could be.

Gabbia joined the Yellow Submarine on a season-long loan in the summer after Samu Chukwueze was sold to AC Milan . The 24-year-old has made seven La Liga appearances since, but he has not set the world alight, playing in a back-line that has ...

Bisseck to the rescue With no Lautaro Martinez and a midweek 120 minutes weighing down the Nerazzurri’s legs, Inter's clash with Lecce didn’t have the look of a pretty affair. That was only a minor roadblock, however, thanks to a superstar showing from Yann Bisseck and a businesslike performance from the entire team. In fact, the eventual 2-0 scoreline was flattering to Lecce if anything, with Inter holding 68% of possession, tallying 20 shots (8 on t...

Time to bounce back from a Coppa defeat Inter’s Wednesday night Coppa Italia round of 16 against Bologna went far from planned, with not only insult in the form of a 2-1 loss but also injury to Lautaro Martinez. Nonetheless, the Nerazzurri don’t have any time to recover from its wounds, hurtling back into action this weekend against Lecce.

Wasteful with their opportunities, Inter concede twice in the final eight minutes to bow out of the Coppa Italia With both teams heavily rotating their squads, you would have thought Inter’s depth would result in a comfortable win. While they dominated possession, Inter were unable to score in regulation and for the 7th time in the last nine Coppa Italia round of 16 matches, they took the game to extra time. Luck ran out as Inter quickly scored ...
