On March 30th in 2011, Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Getzlaf tricked referee Gord Dwyer and the off-ice video review crew when he grabbed a puck that had clearly crossed the goal line and was resting on netminder Ray Emery's arm, and inconspicuously placed it in the crease after the whistle preventing Calgary's tying goal. For his encore, Getzlaf denied allegations relating to his suspect role in

The San Jose Sharks are looking to keep that winning streak going tonight, against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Anaheim Ducks rebuild is going swimmingly, as the team has signed its first-round pick from the 2025 NHL Draft, Roger McQueen. It was announced today by the Ducks that McQueen will be joining the AHL's San Diego Gulls on an amateur tryout.

The Anaheim Ducks are one of the best stories in the NHL this season, sitting atop the Pacific Division with a four-point cushion on the Edmonton Oilers . The problem is that their most expensive forward isn't really part of that story. Mason McTavish signed a six-year, $42 million extension last fall after a contract dispute that kept him out of most of training camp, and in his first season on that deal, he has 14 goals and 34 points in 67 games, which is well below the 52-point campai...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. And you know that this team, which has shown some fight and gumption in the games AFTER Gudas chopped down Auston Matthews with his dirty hit, would love to get a crack at him for some revenge. But Gudas was in a walking boot after Thursday's Ducks game following an awkward fall against the boards. He didn't play in Anaheim's game on Saturday. That would give him an 'out' from having to face the music against the Leafs...

I want to believe the Edmonton Oilers this time. I really do. But there is a California-sized steel trap hovering above this afternoon’s matchup against the Anaheim Ducks.
