2011 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Preview – Anaheim Ducks
Quack, quack quack, the Anaheim Ducks are back. They may have dropped the “Mighty” from their name, and changed their arena name “The Pond” to “The Honda Center,” but the Ducks formula for success remains the same. Big lines, scoring defenseman, and stingy goaltending. While not amongst the favorites to win the Stanley Cup before their 2010-2011 campaign began, here sit the Ducks with a cliched playoff spot and their eye on the prize – Lord Stanley’s Cup. We see Anaheim’s chances as…
Home Games Played At: Honda Center
Key Players: Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Teemu Selanne, Lubomir Visnovsky, Jonas Hiller
Head Coach: Randy Carlysle
How They Fared in 2010: Did not qualify for 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Anaheim Ducks Playoff Prediction For 2011: It is been a consistent slide downhill for the Anaheim Ducks since winning the Stanley Cup in the 2006-2007 season. Despite having two of the best young players in the NHL – Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf – the Ducks never seemed to muster the consistency necessary to make another serious run at a championship. Going into this season, the Ducks faced questions about their defense, after losing Scott Neidermeyer to retirement and Chris Pronger to the Flyers a season ago. They answered the doubters with numerous players leading the league in relevant categories – Corey Perry in goals, Lubomir Visnovsky in defensemen scoring, Cam Fowler in rookie defense scoring, Tony Lydman in plus minus. Add the timeless Finnish Flash Teemu Selanne’s best season in years, and young power forwards Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf to the mix, and the Anaheim Ducks are a dangerous team nobody wants to face. However, with number one goalie Jonas Hiller fighting a bout with vertigo, we just don’t see Anaheim strong enough between the pipes two win four series. We do believe in the Ducks though, and would not be shocked at all to see them oust a team like Detroit in the opening round of the 2011 playoffs.
