Anaheim Ducks Mid-Season Review
By Editorial Staff
The Ducks are just halfway done with the 2011-2012 season. Unfortunately, the season has not gone the way most people thought it would.
Its been an insanely frustrating season for a team with so much talent. They parted ways with long time coach Randy Carlyle and hired Bruce Boudreau. With Boudreau, the Ducks have seen a slight improvement.
Lets take a look at the Ducks numbers halfway through the season.

Most Impressive: Teemu Selanne
Teemu still has it at the age of 41. He currently has 14 goals and 27 assists in 42 games. That is almost a point a game. Not to mention his drive each and every game is better than some younger players on the team. Selanne has shown great chemistry with newly acquired Niklas Hagman.
Least Impressive: Ryan Getzlaf
Getzlaf has been a no-show all season. He hasn’t been the captain he should be which has led many fans to wonder if they should strip him of his “C”. He currently has 7 goals, 20 assists and a -17. A captain should never have a -17!!
