Former Ducks 2021

[The Mighty Duck Man]

I also never understood that. Why trade for him then bench him in favor of Stoner?

Stoner-Vatanen was a very good pairing and Wiz just never really fit in. Despres had a lot to do with that, Wiz was supposed to be Cam's new partner but he was banged up and it gave Des an opening.

stoner wasn't bad for what he was, but to date i have zero clue why any of this went down. Was it more about getting rid of Rene Borque than anything??

Theo and perry look great.

Was wondering when Kossila would return home as it seemed like the doors to NHL would remain shut for him. I would expect him to do well in KHL.

It's crazy to think that the last time he played in Finland was almost a decade ago, when he was still in the U20 league.

Welcome home, Kalle.

Inspired by the recent coaching changes, I went peeking around in our staff directory and saw Francois Beauchemin listed as 'member of 'Player Development Staff'.

I had no idea that this happened at some point. Nice to see Frankie sticking around.

I don't think it's a full-time deal. From what I recall, it's similar to Marchant's role but for defensemen.

To the point of this thread, he never should have been a former Duck and I'm still bitter af that Murray let him walk TWICE.

he’s already a legend in Montreal, what a freaking warrior. And to think he started the season on the taxi squad

Not just last night but the way he’s led this team throughout the playoffs. He’s a winner

Sorry, I meant what happened to his face?

He was high-sticked and there was no call. Vegas gets more preferential refereeing. Go Habs Go!

I have literally nothing to do as I sit around waiting for my spine to heal, so everyone gets incremental updates on anything I can find in my boredom.

The hell, I'll repost.

JT Brown, who had a short visit with the Ducks in 17-18, announces his retirement at age 30.

He didn't have to wait long to figure out his next step though, as he becomes Kraken's new color guy, flanking John Forslund in their broadcasts.

I don't think this has been posted here. Former Anaheim Ducks pick Andrew O'Brian will play in Finland next season. He'll play in JYP, which was the team that Vatanen played for. O'Brien had a contract with an SHL team for the upcoming year, but it was retracked 'cos he was suspected of drunk driving. Hopefully he learnt from his mistake and do better in the next season.

I saw Perry's stitches last night in the habs game and it's wild how that didn't even get a regular penalty.

Perry has been an absolute saint in this series against VGK. The pass to Caufield was spectacular and his play in the 1st period in game 4 was vintage.

I normally don't really cheer for any Canadian teams, but watching Caufield and Perry has really changed that for me.

It's NHL refereeing. Remember when Andrew Cogliano got high sticked during a face off in a game against Chicago, and he got a couple of teeth knocked out? There was no penalty even with the officials picking up his teeth off the ice. Chicago's excuse was that their player was trying to lift Cogliano's shot. The problem was that both players were left-handed shots so their sticks were facing the same way outside of the face off circle. Or remember when Teemu was called for a double minor against New Jersey when it was another Devils player who high sticked his teammates? The Ducks had a one-goal lead before the penalties and the Devils scored twice on the power play and won the game. Calls like that never go the Ducks way. Maybe the referees still think Perry plays for the Ducks.
