thread_title:  2005-06 Roster Scratch 

message: Since the Buffalo Sabres & Los Angeles Kings articles, have included Mogilny & Robitaille (respectively) in their Captains Lists (backed by Sabres & Kings web sites & media guides), I've looked up the Mighty Ducks web site. Teemu Selanne is listed as a Ducks Captain (during 1997-98 season, whil Kariya was injured/out of the Line-up). I'll make the proper edits to this article & the Karyia & Selanne articles.

thread_title:  Captains List 

message: I'm not sure if this should even be on here because it's such a debatable topic. I remember this was discussed for the Leafs earlier, and it was decided that they won't have a rivalries list because of the arbitrariness of it all. An example of its arbitrariness: I entered the Flames as a rival of the Ducks because, as a Ducks fan, I remember that the games between these two teams are often marked by huge fights and scrums. But it was replaced by the Detroit Red Wings today, for which the rivalry is minimal at best (unless it's the year after the Ducks face them in the playoffs or something). Sure, they can be considered a rival, but really...? Just my two cents. --Buchanan-Hermit 19:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Team captains 

message: I'd like to say well done to whoever wrote most of this article. My favourite sentence is this:
:"The Ducks then beat the heavily favored Calgary Flames in seven games and Colorado in a sweep on a run through the playoffs, only being stopped in the West finals by the Edmonton Oilers, who'd swept the Ducks in the regular season."
It's an Oil fan's dream. Pointing out that Edmonton beat the team that beat Calgary. Sigh. Britishenglish 04:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The lead section of an article, per Wikipedia Manual of Style, should as much as possible be a concise version of the rest of the article. A good lead gives the bare basics of the subject, enough so that the reader does not have to read the rest  to get the gist. This paragraph fits this purpose perfectly, so it should stay.

message: I'm no Ducks fan, so I couldn't make it fully cohesive, and it still suffers from a bit of recentism (as do most sports team articles, really), but I hope I was able to fix up the History section a little bit by adding subsections and tightening up some of the paragraphs.  Some more details of this season will eventually have to be pared, but I left 'em for now.  --Doogie2K (talk) 22:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minorly cleaned up "History" 

message: Please, do not put diacritics for the players' names on this article. It makes it difficult for those using English keyboards (this is the English section of Wikipedia, after all) to use the search function. If I wanted to search for Teeme Selanne, I would not be able to find it if the article had his name with diacritics. Don't get me wrong, I know it is the technically correct spelling, but that belongs on the player's own article, not here.Arcimpulse 04:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded.  Diacritics are not typically used in English, and the English spelling is Teemu Selanne.  They do not belong in this article on this Wikipedia. Resolute 04:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Revert war on player names

message: I don't really think this section is detailed enough, at least not for winning the championship of a professional sports league. Look at the Carolina Hurricanes cup-winning post-season, and how their biggest games are well explained and passion is put into the article. Another thing I do not like is that the paragraph after this section is a derogatory one that is biased imo. Yes, the Ducks played aggressive hockey this past post-season, but I do not think that it merits a section that demeans their accomplishments. It was not really all that controversial either. I think this section should be removed. The Pronger suspensions are fairly important, so they can be added into the Cup-winning section, like what series they happened in etc. Love each other, or perish. ~Auden 05:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: We don't when it comes to diacritics because they have shown to use improper spelling a number of times when it came to diacritics, but since the roster on their webpages is coming straight from the source it is the only source we can go by as official. That being said its why some of us prefer to just leave it as last seasons roster, but there will always be people trying to change it in the summer which causes good old edit wars. --Djsasso 21:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  I heard Brian Burke say in the initial announcement that they have 21 days to activate him. That he is in the equivalent of 'training camp' right now. (And we don't bother with training camp rosters, right?) I am sure we'll get a big announcement of him coming off the suspended list. If the other managers hold out long enough, someone could get released instead of traded. E.g. O'Donnell. Somebody who is under contract for next season, because the Ducks are supposedly ok for this season, even with Niedermayer in the lineup. Alaney2k (talk) 21:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can't just release a player to freeup cap space. The only way the Ducks can get out of this mess is by trading off a player or having someone pick up a player from them off waivers like the did with Ilya. --Djsasso (talk) 21:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The main point being that they would not make a trade in that case. In the case of Niedermayer, I don't believe that he is still suspended like he was before, now he is in this training camp 'limbo'. I think you -could- consider him to be part of the roster, but have to put an asterisk next to his name. Players don't get paid for training camp, so I guess he still doesn't count against the cap. Considering the waiver process, I would guess that the Ducks have less than 21 days to figure out something. It takes 24 hours potentially for waivers. And another 24 for re-entry. Alaney2k (talk) 21:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: He is still suspended as they can't unsuspend him until they clear the cap room. The reason they have cap room for the players they have is that he is suspended. Until they make a fix he is still suspended. He is not suspended by the league so its up to the team if he practices with them or not, its a team suspension not a league suspension. -Djsasso (talk) 00:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think is neither suspended nor on the roster.  From what I have heard, he is physically ready to go play, but Burke needs to clear up $900k in salary for the next season.  It's more like he's a UFA who everybody knows will sign with the Ducks.  Thricecube (talk) 06:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It's next season that is the issue. It's "tagging". I'd say he is 'ineligible to play', or 'inactivated', not 'suspended' anymore. And the league does not pay salary for training camp, so that's how they can have him practice. Alaney2k (talk) 19:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stanley Cup Fact 

message: Unknown to many the intersecting sticks and triangular background are actually a modified upside down version of the greek letters delta and upsilon placed over one another. This symbol is the same design worn by the members of Delta Upsilon which is the greek organization that Michael Eisner (the chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company from 1984 until 2005) belonged to. Delta Upsilons unofficial mascot was the ducks and thus the components and ideas of the Ducks old logo can be traced back to Eisners time in college
This post keeps being removed via speedy deletion however all components are valid and hold weight and should be posted in the logo section on the main page.At the time of the ducks creation the chief executive officer of the Walt Disney company was Michael Eisner. Michael Eisner who is an alumni of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, served as the CEO of the Walt Disney Company from 1984 to 2005. In 1992 Disney released the Mighty Ducks movie, and in 1993 founded an NHL team of the same name and logo. The unofficial mascot of Delta Upsilon fraternity is the Duck, so when Eisner and the Dinsey company needed ideas for a new children's film and hockey team mascot/logo he looked back to his roots as a Delta Upsilon for the idea. It can be clearly seen the logos background is an upside version of the the Organizations membership badge and its forefront is undeniably a duck.
