The Anaheim Ducks will have plenty of reasons to be proud of their yearlong resilience and late-season determination to http://www.rangersonlineofficial.com/joe-kocur-jersey-c-2_37.html make the playoffs after an incredible stretch of early-season injury woes.

They'll also have plenty of time to reflect on those achievements during an extra-long summer for a team that couldn't put it together in the postseason.

The Ducks began the process of breaking up for the offseason this weekend after the San Jose Sharks completed a four-game sweep of their first-round series.

"There's a numbness that's kind of subsiding now," coach Randy Carlyle said. "After the run and the season-long trials and tribulations that you go through, Iiro Pakarinen Youth Jersey you get to the playoffs and win out and get second place in the division, and four games later, a week later, you're out of it, which is really numbing."

Anaheim had made the Western Conference finals in two of the previous three seasons, and its six consecutive playoff berths constitute the second-longest active streak in the NHL. The http://www.blackhawksshopofficial.com/graham-knott-jersey-c-1_28.html Ducks finished with their fifth consecutive 100-point season — the league's longest active Joe Kocur Jersey Womens streak — and went 10-1-1 with five straight victories to close the regular season, even surging into second place in the Pacific Division.

But the Ducks' streak of five straight Pacific titles ended, and then their http://www.officialkingsonline.com/jeff-carter-jersey-c-1_44.html season ended in embarrassing fashion.

The Ducks made the playoffs for the 11th time in 13 seasons, but perhaps they simply ran out of steam. Their mad dash to reach the postseason was necessitated by the slow start caused by the club's numerous injury problems during the first half. Their top two centers — Ryan Kesler and Ryan Getzlaf — missed huge chunks of early play, while goal-scoring forward Patrick Eaves never suited up all year because of Guillain-Barre syndrome.

"The adversity that we faced this year was unlike anything I've ever seen, especially at the start of the year," said top defenseman Cam Fowler, who missed the playoffs with a shoulder injury. "We grinded it out, and to get to the 100-point mark Jacob Trouba Authentic Jersey was fantastic. But at the end of the day, you have to make a name for yourself come playoff time, and unfortunately we didn't do that this year."

Once the Ducks get over the hurt, they'll evaluate the core of talent that remains in Anaheim after years of contention. General manager Bob Murray will have to decide whether that core is championship-caliber when healthy or whether it's http://www.officialblackhawksonline.com/graham-knott-jersey-c-1_4.html time to break up one of the Iiro Pakarinen Authentic Jersey NHL's most consistent winners.
