Anaheim Ducks Stanley Cup Betting Odds
The Anaheim Ducks continue to operate in obscurity and out of the playoffs. Anaheim has been in a rebuild for the past four years and might be making at least some progress. The Ducks improved from a .384 win percentage in 2020-21 to .463 last year. But a playoff berth in 2023 seems a remote possibility. The Ducks are not deep enough to make a serious move to the postseason. But Anaheim boasts young talent that will eventually blossom into a contender. It’s a matter of time and patience. The addition of Ryan Strome and John Klingberg will bolster the Anaheim improvement.

Anaheim Ducks History
Founded as a 1993 expansion franchise by Walt Disney Company, the Ducks were originally known as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim before rebranding as the Anaheim Ducks in 2006-07. That season they won their only Stanley Cup. Although the Ducks have a hard-core fan base and great ownership, they have always been LA’s second hockey team after the Los Angeles Kings. Now that they are losing, the Ducks operate anonymously, forgotten in a location flooded with other pro and college sports alternatives, unlimited entertainment options, and perfect weather. Plenty of good seats will be available at the Honda Center in 2022-23.
The berth of the Ducks is a fascinating tale. Then-Los Angeles Kings owner Bruce McNall was riding high, or so it seemed. McNall’s Kings were coming off a Western Conference championship. McNall was the Chairman of the Board of Governors. His team played to sell-out crowds and owned the town with Wayne Gretzky. The Kings made hockey cool in Tinseltown. But McNall had a dark secret. He could not pay his bills and was running a Ponzi scheme. McNall was under investigation for fraud and desperately needed funds.
So he talked Walt Disney Corporation into funding an expansion team in Anaheim and pocketed the fee. McNall lost the Kings and ended up in prison a few years later. And the Ducks were the first team from Southern California to win a Stanley Cup.
After the 2021-22 season, the Ducks all-time leading scorer retired. Ryan Getzlaf was synonymous with the Ducks for 15 years and finished with 1157 games, 282 goals, and 737 assists. He was on the 2007 Stanley Cup team. Other famous former Ducks include Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya, and Scott Niedermayer.
