Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, NHL,
Jonas Hiller stopped 37 shots on Sunday, lifting his Anaheim Ducks to a 1-0 victory and getting a second straight shutout in the process. Among his 37 stops included a few gems that may make this season’s goaltenders’ highlight reel. For Hiller, it was just another day between the pipes. With 21 wins this season, Hiller has silently been of the best goaltenders playing. Only Detroit Red Wings' Jimmy Howard has more wins, and he’s playing in front of a much better team.

Ducks struggle while Perry flies

What do you get when you mix raw talent with good timing? The answer is Anaheim Ducks right winger Corey Perry. The 24-year-old Ontario native has been with the Ducks for five seasons now and has enjoyed relative success throughout much of his career but has flown under the radar with his team due to consistently good play. As they say, ‘where there’s smoke, there’s fire’, and until the 2009-10 season, there’s been clear skies in Anaheim.

The Calgary Flames were part of the first of two bold trades involving the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday. The blockbuster trade saw the Flames give up defensive strongman Dion Phaneuf, as well as right winger Fredrik Sjostrom and prospect Keith Aulie. In exchange, they picked up forwards Niklas Hagman, Matt Stajan, Jamal Mayers, and defenseman Ian White. Calgary’s offensive woes have plagued them in January, and the addition of three mid-level forwards, they hope to provide a shot of adrenaline that will carry them through the playoffs.

As part of Sunday’s blockbuster trades, Ducks GM Bob Murray added a couple of key pieces from Toronto to his struggling team. The Ducks picked up forward Jason Blake and goaltender Vesa Toskala. Blake is the key piece for Anaheim as they’ll try to make a late push to grab a playoff spot from one of the other slumping teams in the West. They had to give up former Stanley Cup winner and current backup goaltender J.S. Giguere to get them, which in their eyes was a bargain.

It seems blockbuster trades aren’t entirely a thing of the past in the NHL. But it took a blockbuster GM like Toronto’s Brian Burke to do it. With two colossal trades on Sunday, Burke added defensemen Dion Phaneuf, winger Fredrik Sjostrom and prospect Keith Aulie from Calgary, giving up forwards Niklas Hagman, Matt Stajan, Jamal Mayers, and defenseman Ian White. The second deal sent forward Jason Blake and goalie Vesa Toskala to the Ducks in return for goaltender J.S. Giguere.

Blame Corey Perry for the Ducks’ success
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Editorial, NHL,
The plight of the Anaheim Ducks continues. With a 4-7-2 record and a home in the basement of the Western Conference standings, the Ducks’ shortcomings are starting to become more significant. Every missed hit; every lost race; every battle in the corner is taking its toll on the former “Mighty” ones. They are also the only team to have lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs this season, and that was a 6-3 defeat that the Leafs basically never had in doubt. It takes a special kind of team to have that happen so far this season, and clearly the Ducks are a special kind of team.
