They seem to have it all going for them – superstar talent up front, skilled, mobile defense, solid goaltending, capable role players – but in the rugged Western Conference, getting over the top and coming out alive is a feat that the Ducks have been unable to repeat since the 2006-07 Cup-winning campaign.

How To Make Money Betting On Anaheim Ducks
A team founded from the remnants of a 1992 Disney movie and originally christened as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim when the team joined the NHL in 1993, at first the Ducks were viewed humorously in hockey circles and for a time it was tough to live down that image. A surprise run to the 2003 Stanley Cup final helped turn around the image of the franchise.
New ownership removed the Mighty tag from the team's nickname and almost as if a curse was lifted, the Ducks actually became a mighty NHL franchise and have proven to be a handful for any team in the league ever since.
