Another team that for the most part cruised through the regular season, the 2015 Anaheim Ducks have played everything for these “15 playoffs.
After trading for center Ryan Kesler formerly of the Vancouver Canucks, there was no doubt Anaheim was playing it’s now tremendous 1-2 punch of Ryan Getzlaf and Kesler to help towards a possible Stanley Cup. The 31 year old had just 47 points in 81 games, but they clearly acquired the experienced veteran for this specific moment.
A team that had just a +10 goal differential does not point towards much postseason success. That was good for just 17th in the league close to another team in the injured Penguins.
