At the end of the second period Wednesday night in the game between the Anaheim Ducks and the San Jose Sharks, the Ducks' Ryan Getzlaf threw a tantrum as he left the ice. The game between the two rivals was very chippy and heated, breaking out in quite a few scrums. The Ducks themselves played a very undisciplined, sloppy game resulting in eight Sharks power plays, which they converted once. The tantrum thrown by Getzlaf would put the Ducks down two men going into the third and that would be the power play the Sharks would convert.

Ducks' coach Bruce Boudreau would also weigh in,
Boudreau: "When you take 9 or 10 penalties, you're not going to win. We have to stay disciplined, shut up and stay focused."
