I don't know what the stat is but it seems the Ducks always seem to get a goal in the first 10 minutes of the game. I recall a few years back the Flames actually got on top of them 2-0 quickly and Boudreau pulled the goaltender at near the half way mark of the period and before you knew it the game was tied and we all know what happens after that. There have been a few OT losses and there also was one were Getzlaf scored in the last minute of the game. I get that there have been many games where the Ducks were simply the better team but it's really amazing how you can play so many games in a building and never catch a team on a bad night and have the breaks go against you all the time.
