League: Finnish Flash Is Back

Teemu Selanne has rejoined the Anaheim Ducks as expected. It took four months but the Ducks are almost back to their championship roster. Dustin Penner and Andy McDonald are the two significant ripples missing from the "pond" but the additions of Mathieu Schneider and Doug Weight and the emergence of youngsters Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry almost compensates for those losses. Also in the up and coming is Ryan Carter who is taking the faceoff specialist role head-on while contributing on the scoresheet as well. The Selanne and Niedermayer additions only makes the Ducks stronger in their recent resurgence in the West and are poised to be a serious contender for the Stanley Cup a second straight year. The last team to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions were the Detroit Red Wings in 96-97 and 97-98.
