Steve Palumbo: Bruce Boudreau up for the Jack Adams Award
The Anaheim Ducks early exit from the Stanley Cup playoffs was a bit of a surprise to everyone. What shouldn't have come as a surprise is head coach Bruce Boudreau having been recognized for his teams excellent regular season with a Jack Adams nomination.

Injuries Revealed by Ducks

Teemu Selanne contemplating his future in the NHL
Have we seen the last of Teemu Selanne in the NHL? As soon as the Anaheim Ducks were booted from the playoffs by the Detroit Red Wings, fans were immediately wondering if Selanne would be returning to play hockey for another year or if he'd call it a career and hang up his skates.

Pavel Datsyuk scores filthy backhand goal against Anaheim Ducks
Late in the first period the Detroit Red Wings had the puck deep in the Anaheim Ducks zone when this fantastic play happened.

The shot gave the Red Wings a 1-0 lead and was a...
