| The Ducks finished third this season in points but are not humming at rate they were early, going 8-9-2 in the final 17. | ||

| With the strong start the Ducks will win the Pacific and get that second seed, but their play of late is hardly dominant. In their last 16 games they are 6-8-2, not exactly how you want to go into the playoffs. | ||

| The Ducks won't be caught in the Pacific, but they aren't playing their best hockey down the stretch. They have lost two in a row and are just 5-4-1 in the last 10. More important, the offense has predictably dried up a bit. | ||

| The Ducks are staying this high because of how strong of a start they had but whoa, are they starting to hit that ol' regression. They have lost five of six games, picking up just three points in that span. | ||

| Hard to think that in a week where they beat the Blackhawks at home in the big showdown they drop, but they lost both ends of a two-game homestand against Detroit. That could be a 2-7 playoff matchup. Hmmm... | ||

| I was so close to moving them up to first until Saturday when the Hawks did that to Dallas and Anaheim lost in St. Louis in OT. Still, points streak is at 10 games. | ||

| I was asked not to write bad things about the Ducks anymore and that's actually easy to do. They're closer to Chicago than they are to Detroit. Impressive. | ||

| Schedule quirks: The Ducks are in the middle of three straight games against the Coyotes. They lost the first in a shootout but they're still 8-1-1 in the last 10. This probably won't last but they'll ride it as long as they can. | ||
| 02/25/2013 | 2 | 2 |
| The Blackhawks are getting all the love but the Ducks are only six points behind with two games in hand. It's tough to separate from a team like the Ducks that has won six in a row and nine of 10. | ||

| There is no way this team can think about trading Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf or Bobby Ryan with the potential this season has, right? Right. | ||

| Will this season be just about the farewell tour of the great Teemu Selanne? Probably not, it will also be full of questions surrounding the futures of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan, too. But it's a contract year for two of them, maybe the Ducks take off under Bruce Boudreau. | ||
