Game #13 – Hawks vs. Ducks Spotlight: The Best Goalie In The League Is The Winter Soldier

By Sam Fels November 3, 2019 0

If you were to guess which goalies had the best save percentage since 2015, you might get Ben Bishop. He’s been really good, played behind some good Lightning teams, and then behind the trapping Stars last year. You’d figure Andrei Vasilevskiy would be there too, given that he pushed Bishop out of Tampa. Robin Lehner […]

Game #64 – Hawks vs. Ducks Spotlight: Hampus! Hampus! For Chicago

By Sam Fels February 27, 2019 0

After a disastrous weekend that, if it didn’t turn the Hawks’ playoff chase to cinders, certainly threw it on the fire. So you’ll be forgiven if your eyes turn to next year and beyond, which is really what this season has been about all along. Except the Hawks didn’t have anyone to develop for next […]

Game #64 – Hawks vs. Ducks Q&A: CJ Woodling of AnaheimCalling.com

By Sam Fels February 27, 2019 0

CJ is the editor of AnaheimCalling.com. Follow him @CJWoodling.  Now that the Ducks have decided to start over, is Bob Murray really the guy you want leading this rebuild? The Ducks have decided to do more of a retool rather than a full-blown rebuild, more out of necessity than anything else. With more than 30% […]

Game #64 – Hawks vs. Ducks Douchebag Du Jour: GMBM Is The Worst Kind Of Movement

By Sam Fels February 27, 2019 0

Yeah, we’re jaded. Bob Murray was the “GM” of the Hawks when Jeremy Roenick was traded, which took the Hawks a couple decades to recover from. Really he was just Pulford’s and Wirtz’s mouthpiece. He also oversaw the trades of Eddie Belfour and Chris Chelios, which is something like seeing over pissing on the ashes […]

Game #29 – Hawks vs. Ducks Q&A: Jen Neale Bails Us Out, Like Always

By Sam Fels December 5, 2018 0

Usually, we try and give our Q&A correspondents a few days for these things. But because we try and block out Anaheim’s existence out of our minds, both team and place, we forgot to send these to our dear friend Jen Neale. Because she’s an angle, she helped us out anyway on short-notice, because she […]

Game #58 – Ducks vs. Hawks Q&A: Jen Neale, The Only OC Resident We Know… And Want To Know

By Sam Fels February 15, 2018 0

Jen Neale is formerly of Yahoo’s Puck Daddy blog, and now works in Esports but still follows the Ducks religiously. And quite frankly, we don’t need more than one Ducks fan in our lives.  The Ducks have had their injury problems, but are kind of floating in the netherworld below the playoffs and all the […]

Ducks Spotlight: Not Great, Bob

By March 9, 2017

If you’ve followed this site and/or read the program we used to do back when I wasn’t completely dead inside, you know exactly how I feel about the Anaheim Ducks. While the conjecture of recent years has been to move/fold the Coyotes or Panthers or Hurricanes, I would offer up Anaheim as simply the worst […]
