The addition of Iginla took them from one of the premier contenders to an almost unstoppable force. I guess the question is which team will be the 'immoveable object' to that force?

Funny how they went from 'longshot' back in the year they last won the cup to 'sexy pick'. :D At the start of the playoffs the year they won I hit the boards and posted that they were the "dark horse" pick, and a lot of people dismissed them as having little to no chance. Having been a fan of theirs for several years before that I saw them as the powerhouse team they were, and was of course proven right. That powerhouse is back this year, only now everyone else knows it as well.

Ducks are definitely not to be taken lightly. Nor the Kings I suspect.
