i have no idea why teemu would do this. maybe hull needs the $$$, but i can't imagine teemu hurting financially at the moment

Interesting to probably nobody, but the person behind the movie, Dan comrie, is Mike comrie's cousin.

At least he didn’t grab his stick.

Former Anaheim draftee Alex Dostie signed with Finnish team JYP (Vatanen's former team) during the summer. I guess they want him to be a top 6 player for them. He hasn't been productive in the preseason games though. We'll see how he does once the season starts next week.

Morand is the only other former Anaheim player in the Finnish league. It's his third season in Finland and he has been pretty good so far.

Wow what happened to Stephen Peat? Didn't see what accident occurred but read up about how messed up his life had been after his time in the NHL (homeless, etc.)

Many Duck fans might have missed it b/c it happened after the Verbeekening of 2022 (traded away Lindholm, Manson, Rakell, and Des). It was the last game of the season against Dallas on April 29, 2022 when EBUG (Emergency Back Up Goalie) Hodges was called up. Gibby played the first period with a shutout, but got injured. Stolarz took over for the 2nd period and he too eventually got injured. Having an EBUG play in the NHL is a rare thing. EBUG Hodges was in the Dallas stand when he was called upon to bail out the Ducks in the 3rd period. Hodges let only one goal in, which was a PP goal. Even though the Ducks lost, the EBUG got an ovation from all.

Sorry, I should have put a smiley at the end. An attempt at a little off season humor/entertainment.
