====Stanley Cup champions (2006β2007)==== Prior to the [[2006β07 NHL season|2006β07 season]], the Ducks adopted a completely new look to go along with their new name; their team colors became black, gold and orange, and the logo of a duck-shaped goalie mask was dropped in favor of the word "Ducks", with a webbed foot in place of the "D".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ocregister.com/articles/ducks-40729-orange-team.html |title=O.C. colors Ducks' new look |work=The Orange County Register |date=June 24, 2006 |access-date=September 27, 2016}}</ref> [[File:Pronger-shooting.jpg|thumb|[[Chris Pronger]] during the [[2006β07 NHL season|2006β07 season]]. The Ducks acquired Pronger during the 2006 off-season, in a trade with the [[Edmonton Oilers]]]] The Ducks traded [[Joffrey Lupul]], [[Ladislav Ε mΓd|Ladislav Smid]] and a first-round draft pick to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for star defenseman [[Chris Pronger]]. With this trade, solid scoring lines, a shut-down line featuring Rob Niedermayer, [[Samuel PΓ₯hlsson|Samuel Pahlsson]] and [[Travis Moen]] and an enviable defense, the Ducks were considered by many to be a Stanley Cup favorite. On November 9, 2006, the Ducks defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6β0 at [[General Motors Place]] in Vancouver to improve their season record to 12β0β4. The win set an NHL open era record by remaining undefeated in regulation for the first 16 games of the season, eclipsing the previous mark set by the 1983β84 Edmonton Oilers (the record has since been broken by the Chicago Blackhawks' 21β0β3 start during the [[2012β13 NHL season|2012β13 season]]). Anaheim were subsequently shut out by the Flames the following game, 3β0, ending their streak. On January 16, 2007, the Ducks played in franchise's 1,000th regular season game, and on March 11, the Ducks recorded franchise's 1,000th point with a 4β2 win over the Canucks, which improved their franchise all-time record to 423β444β155, with 1,001 points. On April 7, the Ducks won their first division title in franchise history when the Canucks defeated the second-place San Jose Sharks in the final game of the season. The Ducks ended the regular season with a 48β20β14 record and 110 points. It was the franchise's first 100-point season. Although they had three fewer wins than the [[Nashville Predators]], the Ducks won the second seed in the West by virtue of winning the Pacific Division title; the Predators finished second in the [[Central Division (NHL)|Central Division]] behind the Detroit Red Wings (the top seed in the West). The Ducks defeated the Minnesota Wild in the conference quarterfinals in five games and the Canucks in the semifinals, also in five games. Once again, the Ducks faced the Detroit Red Wings in the franchise's third trip to the conference finals. In Game 3, Pronger elbowed [[Tomas Holmstrom]] and subsequently received a one-game suspension for the illegal check. However, the Ducks won Game 4 without Pronger and Game 5 in Detroit, with Selanne scoring the latter game's overtime winner. The Ducks then finished off the Red Wings in Game 6 for their second-ever Stanley Cup Finals appearance. [[File:Stanley Cup Ducks and Bush.jpg|thumb|U.S. President [[George W. Bush]] is presented with a Ducks jersey during a White House ceremony in honor of the team's championship season]] In the [[2007 Stanley Cup Finals|Finals]], the Ducks won the first two games at home against the [[Ottawa Senators]]. However, the Ducks lost Game 3 and Pronger received his second one-game suspension, this time for elbowing [[Dean McAmmond]]. The Ducks were again able to win without Pronger, defeating the Senators in Game 4 for an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup on home ice in Game 5. On June 6, the Ducks defeated the Senators 6β2 at Honda Center to claim their first Stanley Cup in franchise history. Moen was credited with the Cup game-winning goal. Scott Niedermayer, the only player on the team who had previously won a Stanley Cup, was awarded the second [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] in Ducks history. The Ducks became the first California team, and the fourth [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] team since the [[1914β15 Vancouver Millionaires season|1914β15 Vancouver Millionaires]], [[1916β17 Seattle Metropolitans season|1916β17 Seattle Metropolitans]] and [[Victoria Cougars]] in [[1925 Stanley Cup Finals|1925]], to win the Stanley Cup.
