An even split of 14 home/road games and 14 each against playoff and non playoff teams based on today's standings. The Ducks were 17-19-5 in the first half of the season, and are off to a 7-5-1 start in the second half. If you break the season down into 27 game "thirds" (with a bonus game on the last one) they were 10-14-3 in the first third, and 14-10-3 in the second third.

How do you predict Anaheim to finish this season?

I think we win all remaining games, including playoffs.

I like that way of thinking!

Depends. Can they fix their PP and score more goals? They are dead last in Goals for and 2nd to last on the PP….



Gibson is having his best year in like 6 years and Dostal has also been excellent but they cannot finish and a lot of the kids have seen their production numbers come down.

I don’t think Cronin is the guy for them, and good goaltending has clouded the issues of this team. Gave up over 40+ Shot on goal last game and give up the most SOG/G in the entire league, that really tells how good the goaltending has been for the Ducks.

I agree goaltending is propping us up, but look at the kings in the bottom 5 of both those things and 3rd in the division. God to they play boring hockey, just they are good at it.

I'm planning the parade right now. Cancelled my Super Bowl plans. Among other things I need about 10 bus drivers. Can anybody volunteer? Thanks.
