The Anaheim Ducks are Like Two and a Half Men

We've all seen Two and a Half Men. We all saw how funny Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones are on this show. The many girls, the hilarious jokes, and the fabulous CBS show that has been skyrocketing through the years.

On hockey, the Anaheim Ducks have been a stellar team throughout the first part of the 2010-11 season. They have gone to the top of the Pacific Division and were winning games big. Jonas Hiller has been outstanding in net, Bobby Ryan continues to be Bobby Ryan, and the team was clicking together fully.




Now both sides of these issues have certainly been going downtown. CBS has cancelled Two and a Half Men for the rest of the season because Charlie Sheen had attacked the show's creator Chuck Laurie over a couple number of issues including this drinking problems.

For the Anaheim Ducks, they have not played dominantly, losing five in a row and slipping out of the playoff picture. Jonas Hiller has been out indefinitely due to dizziness and a possible cause of vertigo, which could potentially end his career. General manager Bob Murray has already hit the panic button, trading for players that seemed to be of no value to them but of more value to other teams.

Sometimes, I just don't get why two big names in both TV (Two and a Half Men), sports (Anaheim Ducks), and entertainment (both of them) seem to be slipping away. Charlie Sheen does have some problems with women, drugs, and the p word I never like to use. But he's great on TV and he was getting paid 2 million an episode. Now that the show is cancelled for the rest of the season, I guess Charlie's going to have to go back and reflect on his image (or not.)

The Anaheim Ducks still have hope but they have been like Two and a Half Men for quite some time, creating controversy in goal and not getting the goal production that they were wishing to get. Does Randy Carlyle spark something into this net? I don't believe he hasn't and I don't believe he ever will. I would've like to see Doug Murray fired, but unfortunately that's not going to happen after he got signed to a four-year extension. What kind of organization has this become?

Here's the thing: If Charlie Sheen doesn't come back to Two and a Half Men, the show is officially over. For the Ducks, if Jonas Hiller doesn't come back this season, it's all over this year. If he doesn't come back at all during his career, the Ducks will be out of the playoffs for about five years. That's sad on both parts. A great actor and a great team, just seeming to fall apart. When will the positive signs go up? They possibly could take a while, but right now, I'd say we're looking at trouble down the road. My guess is that it's not going to be pretty.
