The Caps' new No. 1 defenseman, Karl Alzner, will indeed wear No. 27 in his second NHL game tonight, the team confirmed moments ago. Growing up, Alzner was a big fan of Anaheim's Scott Niedermayer, who, of course, also wears No. 27....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.
Here are a few notes and quotes that didn't fit into my game story. *You've probably already read about Mike Green's shoulder injury (and admiration of Scott Niedermayer). I'll have an update on his status after tomorrow's optional morning skate at Staples Center. *Brent Johnson is expected to start tomorrow night in Los Angeles. I will confirm this after the morning skate. *The power play scored multiple...
Wow. Over in Anaheim, Rob Niedermayer is in coach Randy Carlyle’s dog house. You don’t often see a respected veteran benched like Niedermayer was. I’m most surprised because of Niedermayer’s connection to his brother, Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer. It’s well-documented that Scott joined the Ducks to play with his brother. If his brother isn’t playing, [...]
The Anaheim Ducks have been one of the best teams in the NHL for the past couple years. Their peak occurred with their 2007 Stanley Cup victory. One of the main reasons for this has been a strong defence built around former Norris Trophy winners Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer. Along with Francois Beauchemin, these three defenceman have played a tremendous amount of minutes for the Ducks. No team...
Veteran defenseman trips on the puck and Mark Parrish has a hat trick in Dallas' 5-2 victory. The puck was fluttering, but Scott Niedermayer was prepared to do what he had done in a million similar situations: knock it down in front of him so he could cradle it on his stick and get it out of his defensive zone.
From Iain MacIntyre at the Vancouver Sun, Scott Niedermayer, the 35-year-old from Cranbrook who will go to the Hockey Hall of Fame when his career ends, said Friday he wants to be part of Team Canada for the 2010 Olympic tournament in Vancouver. The Anaheim Ducks star hasn’t decided if or where he’ll play in the National Hockey League next season, but knows he wants to play for Canada. That probably...
from Cassie Campbell of Blog and Columns at CBC, For me, the biggest question is: Who should be the Canadian Olympic team captain? Of course, there are a plethora of players to choose from - Sidney Crosby, Vincent Lecavalier, Scott Niedermayer, Joe Sakic, among others - but my clear-cut choice for the job is Jarome Iginla. Here are five reasons why: 1. His intensity on the ice. Iginla can do it all....
The Todd McLellan era in San Jose began with more of a crash than a bang against the Southern California rival Anaheim Ducks for Thursday night's home opener. San Jose Sharks captain Patrick Marleau pressured Anaheim Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer early in the first period, forcing him to play the puck along the boards. Joe Thornton came in with a hard check up high sending Niedermayer sprawling to...

What can I say about the Ducks'?? Besides the fact that they just traded my favorite Defensemen, Sean O’Donnell to the Los Angeles Kings, they are a pretty great team this year. The Ducks named their Captain today, taking the “C” from Chris Pronger and giving it back to Scott Niedermayer. That will probably make many people around the league very happy. For me, Scott is the better choice just because...
Coach Randy Carlyle names defenseman team captain, a role he had in 2006-07 when Ducks won the Stanley Cup. Chris Pronger, Ryan Getzlaf will be alternate captains. One of the biggest mysteries of the off-season was revealed Tuesday when Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle announced veteran defenseman Scott Niedermayer would serve as team captain this season, and defenseman Chris Pronger and forward Ryan Getzlaf...
The Devils, under Lou Lamoriello, will always be contenders. Despite losing Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, and Brian Rafalski over the years, the Devils have always had someone to step up and keep them competitive. They tend not to go after the young free agents, but opted for seasoned veterans to fill in the holes. For [...]
from Dan Wood of Ducks Blog at the OC Register, Scott Niedermayer or Chris Pronger? Those seem to be the obvious candidates to serve as Ducks captain this season, but Coach Randy Carlyle wasn’t ready to make that call Saturday while watching a collection of the organization’s top prospects practice at Honda Center. “That’s something that I will discuss further with our management, with Brian Burke,...
It’s a month until Opening Night, and so as a countdown I’m going to do a short preview of all 30 teams, 1 team per day, in alphabetical order. So, we kick off the HockeyAnalysis.com countdown with the Ducks… The Ducks looked lost and fatigued in last year’s playoffs. While Scott Niedermayer and Teemu Selanne’s returns [...]
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, Scott Niedermayer is getting his money back ... all of it ... every single cent of the $490,909.08 he was improperly fined by the NHL for missing Anaheim’s training camp last season, The Post has learned. As originally reported by The Post on April 20, the former Devil had been fined under Article 15.3 (f) of the collective-bargaining agreement even though he had been...
