A Na H E Im D U C K S Ducks at Large DUCKS AT LARGE OUTLOOK The Ducks improved on their previous season’s success by advancing beyond the second round of the playoffs, to within one win of the Stanley Cup finals. Once again, bowing out to the eventual Stanley Cup Champions, this time to the Chicago Blackhawks. Last season’s acquisition of Ryan Kesler payed dividends in the post season, and the 31- year old veteran was re-signed to a six-year contract extension, that carries an AAV of $6,875,000. GM Bob Murray has done a magnificent job managing his teams cap, but it remains to be seen if Kesler will continue to a relevant factor until he turns 37. The emergence of Hampus Lindholm and Sami Vatanen on the blueline was a revelation, and along with Cam Fowler, the trio will anchor the Ducks back end for the foreseeable future. The loss of Veteran Francois Beauchemin will be mitigated with the addition of Kevin Bieksa. Murray added more depth up front as well, acquiring speedster Carl Hagelin from the Rangers, and signing free agent power forward Chris Stewart and depth centre Shawn Horcoff. Along with the veteran acquisitions, Anaheim will be looking for continued development from young players such as Jakob Silfverberg, Patrick Maroon and Rickard Rakell. 2014 first-round selection Nick Ritchie will look to make the jump from junior to the pro ranks and will challenge for a roster spot on the big team. ANAHEIM DUCKS ANAHEIM In goal, John Gibson and Frederik Anderson both performed admirably and have bright futures, but were also injured for a stretch, leaving the Ducks vulnerable as they were forced to turn to Ilya Bryzgalov out of desperation. In an effort to avoid a repeat Murray added goalie Anton Khudobin to insulate the crease. Anaheim continues to trend in the right direction, and is poised to join the elite ranks along with Chicago and Los Angeles, who dispatched the Ducks the last two playoffs in a row. With a strong mix of veterans and youth, expect the Ducks to pass the 100 point level, and be in the hunt for another Stanley Cup.

Either the team around them has really improved, or the two long-time Ducks are simply slowing down as they enter their 30s – or TEAM STATS REPORT a bit of both. CATEGORY RECORD RANK CATEGORY STAT RANK Few teams can boast a blue line as young and affordable as Anaheim’s last year. Hampus Lindholm, Sami Vatanen, Cam Fowler, Simon Despres, and Josh Manson were all between RECORD 51-24-7 3T GOALS FOR 228 11 21 and 23 years old, and carried a combined cap hit of just over $7.5 million.

  • BOSTON BRUINS OFFSEASON QUOTES GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY and HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY Thursday, April 27, 2017
    BOSTON BRUINS OFFSEASON QUOTES GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY AND HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY Thursday, April 27, 2017 BOSTON BRUINS GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY AND HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY END-OF-SEASON PRESS CONFERENCE Opening statement from Don Sweeney… DS: First off, I want to thank everybody for joining us today. The Bruins are very excited to be naming Bruce Cassidy the 28th head coach of the Boston Bruins. Despite the season abruptly ending on Sunday, I felt very comfortable moving forward quickly to name Bruce the head coach. I think that, to tell you the truth, I think Bruce summarized it very well the other morning. When we sat down and finalized it, when I said congrats, he said, ‘that’s good, because that was a long, hard interview.’ I think that the way our team responded to his message – we had an aggressive bent to our game. We scored more goals, we didn’t lose defensive structure and our foundation, our penalty kill remained to be top in the league, and our power play got better as the season went along. To me, it spoke to the change that our team responded to, that our core players responded to, and our young players responded to. I felt very comfortable moving forward that I felt Bruce would do a great job. Overall, I think our staff did a very good job. We have a lot of work to do as an organization, still. We want to become a deeper, more talented team from top to bottom. Taking one step forward, in my opinion, is not successful.

  • Minnesota Wild Goaltender Alex Stalock Nominated for Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
    For Immediate Release Contacts: Aaron Sickman (651) 602-6009 Tuesday, June 9, 2020 Megan Kogut (651) 312-3439 Emily Yang (651) 602-6034 MINNESOTA WILD GOALTENDER ALEX STALOCK NOMINATED FOR BILL MASTERTON MEMORIAL TROPHY SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Twin Cities chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association (PHWA) today announced the nomination of Minnesota Wild goaltender Alex Stalock for the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The trophy is presented annually to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. Stalock, 32 (7/28/87), posted a 20-11-4 record with a 2.67 goals-against average (GAA), a .910 save percentage (SV%) and four shutouts in 38 games played (36 starts) and became the fifth goaltender in franchise history to record 20 wins in a season. He set career highs in games played, games started, wins, shutouts (ranked T-5th in the NHL), minutes played (2,177), shots against (1,082) and saves (985). Per NHL Stats, the six-foot, 200-pound native of Saint Paul, Minn., is the seventh different Minnesota-born goalie to reach 20-plus wins in a single season. Stalock tied his career best making seven consecutive starts from Feb. 25-March 7, made a season-high 40 saves at San Jose on March 5 and recorded a career-high, four-game win streak Feb. 21-28. The left-glove netminder registered a 26-save shutout in his first start of the season on Oct. 14 at Ottawa, the second time in his career he recorded a shutout in his first start of a single season and became the fourth Minnesota-born goalie in NHL history to do so.
