In hockey, there’s an unwritten set of rules, and the Anaheim Ducks are no exception. You don’t celebrate a goal when leading in a blowout. You don’t mention the word “shutout” during the third period of a game when a goalie hasn’t allowed a goal. Nor do you do not skip the handshake line, and once someone goes down in a fight, you stop punching.
Those are all on the ice. Off the ice, however, few things are as controversial as offer-sheets. They’re the equivalent of going to the bar, finding someone who is having problems with their significant other, and slime-balling your way into taking them home… Or that’s what GMs and media would expect you to believe.
