Anaheim started off playing the Vancouver Canucks. Anaheim split the series 1-1. Ducks lost the first game 1-0, but won the second game 2-1.
Anaheim started out against the Flyers in Familar fashion, losing the first game on a 1-0 shorthanded goal in the third period. Yet, the Ducks continue to bounce back. Anaheim got out to an early lead with a 2 on 1 breakaway goal that bounced of the goalie's left pad. However, Chris Pronger puck the puck in his own net in the 3rd period on a penalty kill. Just my luck

Anaheim and Philadelphia head to overtime. I am thinking just get to the shootout at this point, though I don't know why because I have a problem, more like a condition, of not putting the puck in the net. Then off an interception, Teemu Selanne was headed up the right side of the ice in the neutral zone. I thought the flyers would try to meet drive him into the wall, and Teemu deked towards center ice as he crossed into the offensive zone. I decided to let 'er rip, most of the time I hit the goalie straight on the chest. But not this time, Selanne sent one just under Biron's left arm into the back of the net. It's the first online goal I have scored without it bouncing off the goalie, a defender or the mosh pit at the front of the net. Whoooo! Ducks pull off OT thriller! Sorry Gillums....
The OT victory leaves Anaheim 2-2 after four games. Hockey has been so exciting this weekend. Got an Assist on the Flying V and I am stoked about this goal. If only the blues weren't going to get swept out of the first round, oh well. Otherwise hockey this weekend has been very nice!
