No. 8: Anaheim Ducks

Previous: No. 9

Record: 27-14-9 (63 points)

I promise I didn’t drink before I created these rankings. Anaheim is atop the Pacific Division, but it’s 1) in a near-tie with San Jose, 2) with the most games played in the league and 3) with three fewer regulation/overtime wins than San Jose. There’s much to be desired still from the Ducks, which isn’t surprising considering they employ Ryan Kesler.
