Wrong.On day one of the NHL draft the Ducks traded Kyle Palmieri to the New Jersey Devils for a 41st pick and a draft pick for the 2016 draft.

The Anaheim Ducks have a 2-1 lead in their series against the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite what some experts think, the Ducks are not a team to be taken lightly.Eddy and I review the first three games of this series. The Ducks were able to earn a 4-1 victory in the first game and a nail biter 2-1 win in Game 2. The Ducks could even be up 3-0 in this series, but lost Game 2 in a marathon Triple OT game. We discuss the Ducks success in this series as a team and highlight individual player performances as well.We address the team's ability to focus on playing hockey despite being underestimated by many. Even despite the comments of Mike Milbury the Ducks went to Chicago and won Game 3 in another hostile environment.

For the first time since the 2006-07 post season the Anaheim Ducks are going to the Western Conference Final!The Ducks defeated the Flames in the 5th game of the series in dramatic fashion. Entering the third period behind by one goal, Matt Beleskey scored to tie the game. Beleskey scored his fifth goal in five games against the Flames. He broke Teemu Selanne's record of scoring at least one goal in four consecutive games in a playoff series.Then the faithful at Honda Center had a big scare as Corey Perry would go down after a hard check. He would have to crawl on the ice to get back to the bench. Moments later he appeared on the ice and eventually scored the game winner to eliminate the Flames. The moment was compared to by many as the Paul Kariya moment when he was knocked out by Scott Stevens in the 2002-03 Stanley Cup Final.
