Why do"MIGHTY" Duck fans consider Anaheim a great hockey town?

THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER!!!!!!\n\nI'm from Chicago and I remeber  when there was only six teams. Here is the story. Disney is big or the biggest thing in Anahiem. The Mighty Ducks was a great Disney movie. It was a great Disney marketing move to name the team after the movie.\n\nNow the new owners of the team plan look into a name and uniform change. But Anahiem or Los Angeles are not hockey towns. \n\nGoing to a Hockey game is an option here.  Maybe the fans in Organge County don't feel like driving to Hollywood today. Maybe they don't want to be on the always crowded freeways? Maybe somebody forgot to reserve a tee time? The surf conditions are bad?\n\nLook forward for this team to move to Portland or Houston.  They have to move the Penguins, so the Ducks are next.\n\nWhen you think of hockey towns, you think of the original six cities, and St Louis, Minnesota, and Philadelphia. These are great hockey towns. They are followed by Buffalo, Denver, and the other Canadian cities. Anahiem?? Please give me a break. You won't miss the team if it moves away.\n\np.s. SO CAL has a very successful ECHL team in LONG BEACH. I think they draw about 2,000 per game.  SO CAL is not a HOCKEY area. Currently heading out to get a JACK DANIELS LATTE or a BEER Slurpee.

I'm not disappointed.  When I was there for the last Ducks/Sharks game at the Sharktank, the Sharks fans got too cocky for their own good.\n\nI think its karma.  They thought the Thorton /Cheechoo line was unbeatable.  Then when Toskala gave up that one goal by trying to play the puck, the entire game shifted to the Oilers.\n\nThe last clinch was the fans booing the Canadian anthem.  Sure, fans are posting they were not booing at the song but at the TV monitor... yeah, whatever, but the fact is, that fired up the Oilers and they beat the Sharks in 4 consecutive game.. because of Cockiness.\n\nSharks fans... have those Raider fans turned hockey fans stay home if you want to win.  Bad Karma for you

Anaheim Ducks will add the key players to make that final step to winning a Stanley Cup...Brian Burke has made all the right moves for Anaheim and he will bring them a Stanley Cup in 2007!!!  Go Ducks!!!\n\n                                          Jason

The NHL is thriving and has never been better! Attendance is up! TV ratings are up! Everything is up!\n\nYou sound like a dinosaur fan lamenting the "glory days" when no-talent thugs ruled the game and bench-clearing brawls were a nightly occurrence. I found that to be abject and embarrassing! All it did was made the NHL look like some bush league where professional wrestling fans and other such losers could go to swill bear, scream obscenities and pick fights in the stands. No thanks!\n\n*Update: I'm glad we had our little offsite IM exchange, bugman, as I think we understand each other better now. We might not be on the same page, but we both love the game. And I promise you it is only going to get better! Go Sabres!

GB is having a bad one this year but when I lived in Sturgeon Bay, Wis I never saw such true fans.  They always stand by their team.

they are pretty good but not good enough to beat san jose.  i think san jose will open a can of whipa$$ in the conference finals if they face the ducks.

They have the market again, and either have or are building an arena facility that would be able to house another NHL franchise.  I feel they are a great option because of the lack of attendence in many US cities.

okay, i just answered your eastern conference question and was hoping you put this one up too....\nk...well, the oilers beat an over-rated red wings team, impressively none the less; and then a sharks team that i was convinced would be in the cup, possibly winning it all...the ducks played a spirited series vs. the flames, and then absolutely wrecked the avalanche...it seems like a closer battle then one would have guessed at the beginning of these playoffs, but i will get to the point-this ducks team seems vaguely familiar to the ducks team who almost took the cup against the devils a couple of years ago...so i'll give u this- ducks in 6... but a very good six

THE MAIN REASON IS THE CITY OF DETROIT IS AWESOME. ALSO, DETROIT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE IN SPORTS. ANOTHER REASON IS BECAUSE THE PISTONS PLAY THE GAME THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED - AS A TEAM SPORT! THEY PLAY UNSELFISH BASKETBALL!

Lindsey Ruff because of his ability to get his players to play the best even though Buffalo isn't the most talented team. In the new NHL coaches have struggled finding ways to defend but Ruff has been able to excel in teaching his players.Ex:holding Ottawa to 2 goals total in 2 games.\nBest in the East; Ruff\nIn the west:Anaheim coach\n\nI'm an Oilers fan.

i see a dogfight between these two.  whoever's goalie is hotter will win the series.  the ducks are my pick in seven.  they are as fast as edmonton and have a good goalie.

Harry Sinden has killed the Boston Bruins.  You can't even buy a shirt of the most popular Bruins because they are traded by the end of the season.  He knows people will still show up and doesn't care what he puts on the ice...but he is quick to fire the coach or GM.  I will say this, I am not a Bruin fan.  I am a Hartford Whaler fan.  That Bruin team was always strong and competitive when the Whalers were in Hartford.  Sinden wasn't going to let his Bruins be number two in New England.  Ever since the Whale moved to Carolina, the Bruins have not produced competitive strong Stanley Cup teams.  Bring a team back to Hartford and watch how fast Sinden puts a solid team on the ice.  Sinden...you are a pathetic owner who doesn't care about the fans.
