Eulogy: Remembering the 2007-08 Anaheim Ducks

[rinkrat]

Time for an autopsy.

Sunday, April 20th. A sad day. A tragic day. The day the Ducks died.

I'm not sure I'm the perfect person to eulogize the Anaheim Ducks with snarky little cracks -- after all, I'm a Vancouver Canucks fan, and clearly Canucks' fans have no business trashing anyone these days. But I can still enjoy their demise just a little bit (err... a lot) and Ducks fans can take heart by just reminding me how your guys dismantled my team a year ago, alrighty? Alright then.

Meanwhile, let's consider the question of the hour: What happened to those once-great waterfowl? The reigning Stanley Cup champions which inspired so many other rosters after they took home the Cup home last summer? Who single-handedly killed off the Disney jokes that were once such a fond past-time for us all?

The answers (at least a couple) would be: Scott Niedermayer happened. Teemu Selanne happened. Chris Pronger happened. And Andy McDonald didn't happen.
