Big surprise, San Jose gets knocked out of the playoffs after a very dominant regular season.  New coach, same result.

If you missed it (or you don’t read Puck Daddy like it’s your job), Joe Thornton and Ryan Getzlaf dropped mitts off of the opening faceoff.  Not the most impressive of dust-ups, but the marquee players involved make it noteworthy.  Getzlaf assisted on the Ducks’ first goal and scored one himself in the third, completing the “Gordie Howe Hat-Trick”.  Thornton effectively disappeared from the score-sheet.

In a perfect world, a team named “Ducks” would exist only in minor league baseball.
