from Mark Whicker of the OC Register,
It was a night of flying helmets, thrown gloves, and penalty boxes that forced you to take a number.
It was a Sixth Game but it was played like a Twelfth Round. Thanks to an all-hands-on-deck performance by the Ducks, there’s no need to worry about what’s left for Game 7.
Once again, the masters of the process of elimination snuffed out someone else’s season. The eighth-seeded Ducks sent San Jose off to another summer of doubt with a 4-1 victory that ended this first-round series in six terrific games.
And, for the fifth time, the Ducks will take on another wary rival, the Detroit Red Wings, in a Western Conference semifinal that will begin in Hockeytown.
Opponents are now 0-9 when they try to avoid season’s end in Anaheim, and this time it was especially well-timed because Game 7 would have been in San Jose Wednesday night.
