For the second time in a month, the Anaheim Ducks have opened up their pocket book and re-signed a top gun. This time it was former Hart Trophy and Rocket Richard Trophy winner Corey Perry.

Perry, who is currently second on the Anaheim Ducks in scoring with nine goals and fifteen assists for 24 points, signed an eight year contract worth $69 million.

The move comes ten days after the Ducks signed Ryan Getzlaf to an eight year deal worth $66 million. Getzlaf currently leads the Ducks with 11 goals and 22 assists for 33 points.

Getzlaf and Perry were both unrestricted free agents at the end of the season.

The Ducks have had a great 2013. They currently have the second best record in the NHL with 46 points, five points back of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Kerrzy’s Notebook: Goals of the Week!

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

We’re through another week of action in the NHL and I’ve got to say, this may have been the toughest one so far when it comes to whittling my list of potential Goals of the Week down to a top five!

Cracking the list this time around is a beautiful spinning backhander, some slick breakaway moves, a bit of between the legs magic, a clutch play from a young forward and a one-man show at the United Center!

Let’s go!

5. Tyler Bozak

Toronto’s Tyler Bozak checks in at number five this week, corralling some knee-high sauce from Phil Kessel and hitting the top shelf with a spinning backhander over the shoulder of Roberto Luongo. Beauty!

Panthers beat Flames 3-2 in shootout

Saturday, December 17th, 2011

The Calgary Flames lost 3-2 to the Florida Panthers in a shootout Friday night, but in the process, moved one point ahead of the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Standings.

In Leland Irving’s first National Hockey League career game, the Barrhead, Alberta native made 39 saves, and looked very comfortable in between the Flames’ pipes. But at the end of the day, he couldn’t make the key game winning save in the shootout, allowing Dmitry Kulikov and Stephen Weiss to sneak the puck by him.

The best Flame on this night was Olli Jokinen, who was the only Flame with a multi-point game (one goal and one assist), and led the Flames with seven shots and 11 faceoffs won. Jokinen starred with the Panthers from 2000-2008, and is their all-time leading scorer with 419 points.

The Flames now move into a tie for tenth place in the Western Conference with the Los Angeles Kings at 32 points, three points back of the eighth place San Jose Sharks and Phoenix Coyotes.

Calgary’s next game is Sunday in Chicago.
