It’s the 25th anniversary of Anaheim Ducks hockey. To celebrate, Pucks of a Feather has been counting down great moments and people in team history.
The Anaheim Ducks have been involved in many big moments over the last decade. Incredible goals, saves, games and of course fights. The number of fights and people willing to drop the gloves has declined in recent years, as the game has changed.
Fighting is still an important component of NHL hockey. Capable of changing momentum or silencing a crowd a won fight can do wonders for a team. The Ducks have had some memorable ones. We’ll take a look at 10 of the best the last decade.
10 – Kevin Bieksa vs Andy Andreoff (November 27th, 2017)
I hold no punches (Enjoy the pun) about my feelings towards Kevin Bieksa. I was never a fan of the signing and thought Bieksa was overrated on what was a fairly deep Vancouver team when he was there in his prime. He provided nothing except for what the video shows for the Ducks.
He is a tough guy and pulling this “Superman Punch” off once in a season is good but the fact he did it twice and against the LA Kings no doubt allowed him to make my list. The fight against Radko Gudas where he deployed this move for the first time is also great but when ranking a fight against a Flyer and a King there was no doubt about which one would win.
