2013-2014 Anaheim Ducks...

with possibly the best pure skater in NHL history,Teemu Selanne,who is entering his 21st season,the Ducks have a team that could be playoff bound... Selanne may not be the best overall player on the team,he is the heart of the team,i have to admit,and where he goes,the team goes,because he is a phenom,even at his age(43)... with Saku Koivu,he anchors a very talented team offense,and to remind you,that if not for a slashing penalty,on defenseman Sheldon Souray,they had the Red Wings on the spit,ready to roast,in game seven of their opening round seven game series... the penalty put the Red Wings on the power play,and then shortly the Red Wings ended the Ducks' season,in overtime... with Jonas Hiller,and Viktor Fasth,backing him up,in goal,the Ducks will be tough to beat,because Hiller and Fasth are a very good goaltender duo,period... the team defense is anchored by Hiller,with Souray adding some grit,to a very talented defense... the team will be fighting for a playoff spot,and they have the talent to contend for the Pacific Division crown,but without Bobby Ryan(in Ottawa),it may be somewhat tougher,but honestly,they are a playoff team,on paper,but again,paper does not win anything... watching them play will be fun.... historic note:Selanne holds the goal scoring record as a rookie,when he torched the NHL,for 76 goals,with the(original)Winnipeg Jets,in 1992-1993...
