What seems to be an old wives tale now, at a few points in time the Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks had a good power play. Much of the success can be attributed to Teemu Selanne, who received is 1000th NHL point this week in 2006.
On this day 20 years ago, Disney announced the birth of the then-Mighty Ducks of Anaheim franchise. Here's a look back on the last 20 years and cheers to the next 20.
The Ducks got off to the best start in NHL history, Paul Kariya took a TON of shots, Teemu Selanne ended an awesome goal scoring streak, and one of the worst games ever: it all happened ... This Week in Ducks History.
This Week in Ducks History, we saw Paul Kariya earn his then-franchise high 600th point as a Mighty Duck against BFF Teemu Selanne and the Sharks. (Still a terrible trade.)
Remember when Ryan Getzlaf used to score goals? Yeah, we don't either, but his first one apparently happened this week.
Paul Kariya turned 38 this week, and we celebrate by reviewing his teens and early 20s
The only good thing about the Ducks not starting the season this week? They usually suck in season openers, as we learn This Week in Ducks History
The franchise's namesake movie was released 20 years ago, this week, and changed the game as we know it... maybe that's an exaggeration, but who knows how many of us would be reading this if that hadn't happened.
It's rapid fire Ducks History this week, with some notable birthdays, minor trades, the NHL Premiere in London, Stu Grimson and possibly the most obscure fact that will be featured in this series.
This week in Ducks History (and NHL history) the 2004-05 lockout began, and can be considered a blessing in disguise for the Ducks, unlike the current lockout situation.
It's a boring week in Ducks history. We decide to laugh Toronto for trading their 3rd overall pick in the 1989 draft for NJ Devil Tom Kurvers. That 3rd pick? Scott Niedermayer.
Back with the second of addition of Ducks Tails from the vault, Chris gives the MST3K treatment to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim versus some young goaltender named Martin Brodeur. Never heard of him. Hop in the DeLorean. We're going to October 20, 1993
Chris goes into the NHL Vault on GameCenter Live and gives the Mighty Ducks' first win the MST3K treatment (in writing).
