“You can never have too many guys who have experience in the playoffs. Until you get there, you don’t know what it is. It’s a war in the playoffs. Everybody is fighting for every inch of the ice. That is what makes the game so exciting.”
Everybody is fighting for every inch of the ice. That is what makes the game so exciting.” The transition back to Anaheim has been a smooth one. While some things have
changed, such as a good chunk of players on the Ducks and his locker room stall (Lubomir Visnovsky occupies his former spot), many things remain intact. The team’s top forwards are the same, the systems utilized by Carlyle have not changed much and he even got his old No. 23 (after wearing No. 24 at first) back after Paul Mara was traded to Montreal. “There are a lot of good veteran guys here that all the guys look up to. My game has-
n’t changed. I try to keep doing the same little things, be solid on D, try to bring some offense when I get the opportunity to jump up in the play and be physical.” Only two goals to his credit while with Toronto this season, he tallied his first with the
Ducks in a critical spot. Down 2-1 to Minnesota on Feb. 25 at home, Beauchemin punched in a rebound to tie the game with two minutes left in regulation. While Anaheim would eventually fall in overtime, the goal helped get at least one point that seemed lost. It could be that slim of a margin that puts this team back into the postseason. “Every game is really important these days,” Beauchemin says. “Being able to get that
one point against Minnesota was huge. I was really excited just because I haven’t really had many points this year. Personally, I feel good. It’s only going to get better as the time goes on.” #
