Ducks are Back

The Anaheim Ducks have come from the grave to 9th in the league, 5th in the conference, and second in the Pacific Division. Right now these guys are on a 4 game winning streak and are 8-1-1 in their last ten. Once again Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry are leading the way for their team and Frederik Anderson and John Gibson are mostly splitting the job. Everything is just working for these guys now and they really have a shot at winning it all, but they have to deal with the Kings and Sharks this season since they are all really close to each other in the standings. I'd say they are going to make the playoffs, but not win the cup and not go to the Western Conference Finals. I say this because they have too many older forwards and that could really show in the playoffs. They do have a nice young defensive core and it could be like the Blackhawks last year who lead them to victory. All that matters for the Ducks is that they're winning again and have a chance this year. They have to keep this up in the playoffs since they have to face the Los Angles Kings to beat, but it should be a close finish. Are the Ducks for real? Will they continue this? Are they now Stanley Cup contenders? stay tuned....
