Former Ducks defenseman Ruslan Saleiwas among the members of the

Kontinental Hockey League club Lokomotivwho died when their plane crashed shortlyafter takeoff on September 7 near the city ofYaroslavl in Central Russia.

A statement from the Ducks: “The Anaheim Ducks organization isshocked and saddened to learn of the passingof Ruslan Salei. ‘Rusty’ was a fan favorite anddedicated member of the Orange Countycommunity since being drafted by Anaheimin 1996. Our thoughts and prayers go to hiswife and three children, along with all of theother members of the hockey communityaffected by this horrible tragedy.”

DUCK S TV PLAY - B Y -P LAY ANNOUNCER

The summer of 2011 was a relatively quiet one for the Anaheim Ducks. There were nopress conferences called for “major” free agent signings and no blockbuster trades.

Even the usual rite of summer – the announcement of a one-year contract for ageless won-der Teemu Selanne – came just a day prior to the opening of camp. Simply put, it wouldappear that virtually the same team returns this fall that fell to Nashville in the openinground of the playoffs last spring.

On the first day of camp however, head coach Randy Carlyle sounded a different alarm.“We told the players that there are jobs open and there are players that are going to sur-prise us and make the club,” he said. And with that, the competition began. But let’s beclear, there is still a level of familiarity on the roster and we’ll start there.

The ForwardsLeading the way isthe “big line” of cor-nerstones RyanGetzlaf, Bobby Ryanand reigning HartTrophy and RocketRichard Trophy win-ner Corey Perry. Alsoreturning intact is lastseason’s second lineof forty/thirty-some-things Selanne, SakuKoivu and JasonBlake. But that line iswhere the changescould begin.

New acquisitionAndrew Coglianocomes over from

Edmonton and could see time on that unit as a left wing. If not, he is a capable pivot whocould see time in the middle of a third line that could include some other new faces.

Ducks Digest 11

Nineteen-year-old Devante Smith-Pelly is making a bid to be this year’s Cam Fowler. Thephysical second-round pick from 2010 has had an excellent camp showcasing a consistentgame built on speed and forechecking. Also turning heads is Andrew Gordon, a speedyhigh scorer at the AHL level, with Hershey. Gordon had only brief stints with theWashington Capitals the past three years, but found the net often in the preseason for theDucks after signing in the offseason.

Another friendly mug is that of second-year man Brandon McMillan, who Carlyle calls“real smart” and “a player you can trust.” He is poised to perhaps fill the utility role vacat-ed by the retired Todd Marchant. McMillan “needs to separate himself,” according to thecoach, and if he doesn’t, he could find himself on the fourth line with George Parros andMaxime Macenauer. The 22-year-old Macenauer is looking to break in at the NHL levelfor the first time, and he’s a solid center who nearly made the team last season out ofcamp. Young Matt Beleskey, who was unavailable for much of camp due to offseasonshoulder surgery, will be in the mix as well.

The DefensemenLast year the Ducks broke camp with a number of blueliners who hadn’t ever played a reg-ular season game for the franchise. This season it appears six of the group from last yearreturn on an increasingly stable defensive unit.

That starts with the return of the league’s top offensive d-man in Lubomir Visnovsky.He is joined by partner Toni Lydman, Francois Beauchemin, Sheldon Brookbank and thekids, Cam Fowler and LucaSbisa. With a renewed comfortlevel this season, Carlyle canfocus on the details, such asmoving Fowler to the right sidepermanently.

“With Cam, we think findingthe right pairing, the rightgrouping will be vital,” he said.For now that pairing looks to bewith veteran Beauchemin.Meanwhile, Lydman was notready to start the season follow-ing offseason shoulder surgery,opening opportunities for freshblood. Kurtis Foster came overin exchange for Andy Sutton in asummer deal with the Oilers andwill be in the top six most nightsonce he recovers from aSeptember procedure to removea loose wire from his thigh thatwas inserted during a previoussurgery in 2008. He will bringhis big shot to the second powerplay unit. Matt Smaby is a big

body signed by the Ducks as a free agent from Tampa Bay, but he will miss 2-3 monthswith a thumb injury. His career has been slowed by injuries, but he brings a shot-block-ing, defensive defenseman’s game. Nate Guenin is another who could play early due tothe injuries. Guenin possesses a steadiness and compete level similar to that of Brookbank.

The GoaliesPerhaps the happiest, somewhat unchanged scenario is in net, where Jonas Hiller has pro-claimed himself ready to go after missing much of the second half of last season to verti-go symptoms. Without their All-Star netminder, it was a remarkable feat for the Ducks tonot only make the playoffs last spring but to also procure a No. 4 seed and home ice inthe tough Western Conference. To have his services once again changes their entire out-look. Carlyle makes no bones about Hiller’s situation, saying, “As long as he tells us he’sready to go, he’ll be playing in net.” His very capable backup remains Dan Ellis, while JeffDeslauriers is a considerable upgrade as the organization’s third goalie and insurance pol-icy between the pipes.

In all, many things remain the same from a year ago. Anaheim will continue to seeksecondary scoring beyond its top line and power play; they just will have a new group fromwhich to try and find it. They’ll again be seeking a trip to the postseason, their sixth inthe last seven seasons.

Come to think of it, maybe more of the same-old, same-old is a welcome “change.” #

Ask any of his Ducks teammates to describe Lubomir Visnovsky’s person-ality, and there is one word that pops up the most.

Francois Beauchemin: “He’s a quiet guy, but funny.” Sheldon Brookbank: “He’s quiet, but he’s a funny little guy.”

Toni Lydman: “He’s a quietguy, but easy-going and mellow.Just a nice guy.”

Visnovsky knows he’s beenlabeled as reserved by most of theguys he’s played with in the NHL,but the native of Slovakia attributesit to a discomfort with Englishmore than any inherent shyness.

“I’m not a quiet guy,” says thebaby-faced Visnovsky with amuse-ment. “It’s just hard to say what Ifeel in English. Sometimes I have tothink about what I want to say, andI don’t know if I can come up withthe right words to say what I feel.So, that makes me seem quiet. ButI talk more with my friends than Ido a whole group of teammates.I’m just more comfortable in mylanguage.”

After 11 seasons in NorthAmerica with the Kings, Oilers andnow a third season with the Ducks,Visnovsky’s command of English isbetter than he gives himself creditfor. But there is one aspect of hislife that knows no language barrier– a ballistic missile of a slapshot and

Not the most talkative guy in the room, Lubomir Visnovsky makes noisewith a game that has made him among the NHL’s best defensemen

“I’m not a quiet guy,” says the baby-faced Visnovsky with amusement. “It’sjust hard to say what I feel in English.My English is not very good. SometimesI have to think about what I want tosay, and I don’t know if I can come upwith the right words to say what I feel.So, that makes me seem quiet.”

an underrated defensive game that has helped make him one of the best blueliners in thegame.

Lydman was paired with Visnovsky for most of last season, and it’s a major reasonLydman posted a plus-32 rating that was tops in the NHL. “It’s great playing with him,”Lydman says. “You just get him the puck and he knows what to do with it. That’s basi-

cally the philosophy ofthe two of us last year. Iwould pass it to him andhe made stuff happen.He’d find an open guyor skate it up the ice andgood things would hap-pen.”

That was never moreevident than during acareer season last year, inwhich “Lubo” postedcareer highs in goals (18)and points (68) whilefinishing fourth in thevoting for the NorrisTrophy given to theleague’s top defenseman.But it was a season thatended in disappointmentfor Visnovsky, as two badshoulders seriously hin-dered him as the Ducksfell in six games toNashville in the firstround of the playoffs.

Visnovsky injured theright shoulder afterbeing checked hard intothe boards by the Sharks’Douglas Murray onApril 2 in San Jose. He

hurt the other shoulder in Game 2 of the Nashville series when he collided near center icewith Beauchemin. Anaheim’s eventual defeat in that series, after leapfrogging to a fourth-place finish in the Western Conference, was no coincidence.

“It’s playoff time and you try to forget it to help the team,” says Visnovsky, who wasplaying in his first postseason since 2002 with the Kings. “I was not good. I was nothealthy. My shoulder was messed up. I didn’t play very well, but I played the best that Icould.”

He says the injury didn’t affect his vaunted slap shot so much as it limited what hecould do at the defensive end. “My slap shot was okay, but it was when I would play one-on-one and try to push the puck or the player with one hand,” he says, softly pushing your

“Lots of guys get nervous before the game,” he says, “so I like tosay something fun, like ‘I’m tired. Don’t pass the puck to me.Take it behind the net and shoot it.’ I like to have some funbefore the game.”

shoulder to emphasize his point. “That’s when it was more painful.“If I held the stick with two hands, it wasn’t a problem. It was when I had to use one

hand where I was very, very … not strong.”The injury carried over into the offseason, where Visnovsky wasn’t able to do simple

things like pick up his toddler son Maxim. He went through a summer of rehab in whichhe couldn’t lift weights for the first twomonths, a concern since “I’m not a bigguy and I play against big guys. I needto be strong.”

But in speaking about the shoulderjust before the start of the season,Visnovsky says he feels “stronger andmuch better.”

That’s a good sign for the Ducks,who lean on Visnovsky not only on theice but for some comic relief duringthose few times he does open hismouth. “He’s just a nice Slovakian guywho likes to goof around,” Brookbank.“He’s always telling us that he’s tired,but then he goes out and gets a hattrick.”

Brookbank isn’t speaking hypotheti-cally. It was a hat trick last seasonagainst Dallas, the second of his career,that was a defining moment inVisnovsky’s magical regular season.Goal No. 3 came with just 3.8 secondsremaining in overtime – a slap shotright off an offensive-zone faceoff – tocap an improbable comeback for theDucks. It was also the first hat trick by adefenseman in the 17-year history ofthe franchise. He does remember jokingabout being tired that night though.“Lots of guys get nervous before thegame,” he says, “so I like to say some-thing fun, like ‘I’m tired. Don’t pass the puck to me. Take it behind the net and shoot it.’

I like to have some fun before the game.” Visnovsky smiles when he thinks of that night, admitting that

he even watched it on YouTube over the summer, when he waslooking at videos about car collecting (a hobby of his) and decid-ed to type his own name into the search box. “I put my name inthere and there were lots of videos of me,” he says. “One ofthem was the hat trick, so I pushed the button. I mean, 3.8 sec-onds left? That was unreal.

He pauses, and adds, “That’s why I play hockey, for feelingslike that. That is my gift.” #

Andrew Cogliano gets a new start in Anaheim, where the Duckshope he can providesome third-lineproduction

It is another picturesque day in Newport Beach, and Andrew Cogliano hops on his biketo go grab a bite to eat. It’s here in his new home where he is seemingly worlds away

from where he spent the first four seasons of his NHL career. Up until this summer,

Edmonton was the only teamCogliano had known in his NHLlifetime. The Oilers took himwith the 25th overall selection inthe 2005 NHL Entry Draft andhe played in 328 consecutivegames for them from 2007through the end of last season.But the relationship came to aclose in the offseason when hewas traded to the Ducks for a2013 second round draft pick.

“The minute I got traded, itwas an exciting thing for me,”says Cogliano, who signed a newthree-year contract withAnaheim after being a restricted

free agent at the time ofthe deal. “I went into the

offseason not reallyknowing what wasgoing to happen andwhere I was going tofit. To come to a teamthat is established, has an opportunity for me and wants me is great. My moti-vation is to prove them right.”

Coming to a winning team is something Cogliano, who owns two WorldJunior gold medals with Canada, is truly relishing. The Oilers missed the postsea-

son all four of his seasons there, including consecutive last place finishes in theWestern Conference the last two campaigns. In contrast, the Ducks have made the

playoffs five of the last six seasons.“We didn’t have a very good team (in Edmonton) and that weighs on you,” Cogliano

says. “I hear the guys here are used to winning, being in the playoffs and being a goodteam. I’m hoping I can add to that success.”

After Anaheim was eliminated by the Predators in the first round of last year’s playoffs,Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Murray said he viewed the play ofthe teams’ respective third and fourth lines as a tipping point in the series. He made anoffseason goal of improving the club’s bottom six forwards, through prospects within theorganization and possibly some moves.

Entering the 2011-12 season, Murray’s vision in late April has indeed come to fruition.Young players Devante Smith-Pelly and Maxime Macenauer stepped up and claimedopening night roster spots, while Andrew Gordon made it as a free agent signee. Coglianowas the biggest coup of all, and the hope is that his speed can help create the secondaryscoring the Ducks have sought for so long.

“The biggest thing for us is speed,” said Murray after the July trade for Cogliano. “Wetried to increase our team speed the last couple of years and we really haven’t accom-plished that. He can definitely skate. He has a fresh start here.”

Thrust into the Edmonton lineup full-time at the age of 20 back in 2007, Coglianoenjoyed his best statistical season as a rookie with 18 goals and 45 points. He also becamethe first player in league history to score game-winning overtime goals in three straightcontests. The next season, he won the fastest skater competition at the NHL SuperSkillsCompetition by zooming around the rink in 14.31 seconds. Despite his lack of size (list-

ed at 5-10, 180 pounds), he also proved to be the definition of durability during his timewith the Oilers by putting up four straight 82s in his games played column.

Overall though, Cogliano feels he has untapped potential in his game and at just 24years old, there is reason to believe his best hockey is still ahead of him. He put his effortsinto becoming more of a two-way player and that should serve him well under the guid-ance of Ducks head coach Randy Carlyle.

“Last year was a big step for me,” Cogliano says. “I did a lot of work on the penaltykill and focused on my defensive game much better. Now I’m just trying to carry that intothis year. Faceoffs are still a work in progress. I’m starting to figure out more techniques.My goal, as a guy who is only 24, is to keep improving. I could grow into a good two-way player.”

For inspiration on the player he would like to become, all Cogliano does is look insidethe Ducks locker room and right above him on the depth chart at center. Saku Koivu, the

second-line centernow in his 16th sea-son, continues to beinstrumental at bothends of the ice.

“A guy like SakuKoivu, it’s great to beable to play with himand start learningfrom him,” Coglianosays. “He’s a guy whoI could model mygame after. I reallybelieve that.”

During a couple ofpoints in the trainingcamp, Cogliano wasactually slotted at leftwing alongside Koivuand Teemu Selanne.That is always a look

Carlyle can revisit down the road if need be. When he was placed in his familiar centerposition on the third line with Gordon and Smith-Pelly during a preseason game atVancouver, the coaching staff liked the chemistry and production from the trio. Thatgrouping was intact in Helsinki and Stockholm, where Anaheim opened the regular sea-son as part of NHL Premiere.

Wherever he does end up, Cogliano will play a big role on the Ducks this year. In thisnew chapter of his career, that is all he had hoped for.

“This is exactly what I needed and where I needed to be,” Cogliano says. “My ulti-mate motivation and goal is to prove to the organization that they made the right choicein acquiring me. I feel like I’m a very motivated guy and I work hard. I want to help theteam.

“I’ve done a lot in the four years I’ve been in the league and have had success. Now, I’mjust looking for consistency and a situation where I can take myself to the next level.” #

“Last year was a big step for me,” Cogliano says. “I did a lot ofwork on the penalty kill and focused on my defensive game muchbetter. Now I’m just trying to carry that into this year. My goal,as a guy who is only 24, is to keep improving. I could grow into agood two-way player.”

Murray’s scouting expertise helped to build teams thatrecorded 100+ point seasons two years in a row (2002-03 and2003-04) and advanced to the Stanley Cup Playoffs four seasonsin a row (2001-04). Before his stint in Vancouver, he served as aScouting Consultant for Anaheim during the 1998-99 season.

Favorite NHL player growing upThat would have to be Jari Kurri. I wasgrowing up at the time when Edmonton wasdominating. Gretzky and Kurri were playing. Ididn’t get to see many games. I don’tremember watching any of the games. I justknew his name and that he was scoring a lot.

Favorite FoodThat is a tough one. I like a lot of food.Usually a home-cooked meal by my wife.

Favorite MovieI really like “Law-Abiding Citizen.”

Favorite TV showI like “The Office.” I’m trying to get into“Modern Family.” It looks like a good one. I’veonly seen a few episodes, but it’s funny. But Ihave all the seasons of “The Office”on disc.

Favorite Vacation SpotMaybe Maui. I went there in 2002 during theOlympic break. It made it so much betterbecause I was playing in Calgary. It was greatto get out of there in February and take aweek off to Maui.

First CarMy first car was leased by the team I wasplaying for in the Finnish League. It was asmall Mazda. It was a brand new car.

Favorite MusicMetal, always metal. I listen to it before thegame, after the game, all the time. Myfavorite band is Mastadon.

Biggest Difference Between Finlandand the United StatesThe language. I have to say Finnish is harderto learn as an outsider. I’m still learningEnglish. They started teaching it to us in thethird grade. I must have been 18 or so whenI could read okay. I could read newspapers or

books. I started reading biographies inEnglish. I didn’t understand every word, but Igot to a point where I could figure out whatthat one word was by looking what wasaround it.

Speaking was harder. I probably pickedthat up along the way. When I was 17, I started playing against men in the secondaryleague in Finland. I had a Canadianteammate sitting next to me in the room.That was a big help in trying to speak. Afterthat, I think I have always had a NorthAmerican teammate with me and we alwaysspeak English. I usually sat right next to thoseguys. It encouraged me to try speaking. I wasspeaking horrible English, but if they couldunderstand it, I got more courage to talk.

On his first NHL gameI was playing for the Flames and it wasagainst Detroit in Calgary. All I remember was,the game was tied and I had great chance toscore in the third period. I missed an emptynet pretty much. The next thing I know, I wastrying to keep the puck in the blue line and itslipped through. They got a 2-on-1 andscored the game-winner. It wasn’t the perfectstart, but it was a start.
