ANAHEIM — The biggest victory of an out-of-nowhere season to date was in the books and Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau couldn’t truly enjoy it.

On the faceoff after Teemu Selanne‘s goal that proved to be the winner late in the third period of Wednesday’s come-from-behind 4-2 victory, Ducks winger Andrew Cogliano took a stick to his mouth, courtesy of Chicago’s Brandon Bollig.(VIDEO).

Cogliano would lose his two front teeth and Boudreau said his key forward “gets viciously hit in the mouth with no puck there.” The coach took the opportunity to release some pent-up frustration.

“It boggles my mind,” Boudreau said. “Every game, that we’re getting high sticked. Double minored. And we don’t get the calls. That’s one power play again (for us). One penalty (committed) against us. It’s getting kind of ridiculous.”

His overall points: His Ducks are no longer the big, bad undisciplined Ducks of years past and not only are they not getting enough calls but that they’ve too often been on the receiving end of plays that tread the line of illegality or skip over it.

A league source said Bollig’s high stick did not warrant a hearing. Boudreau also noted that center Saku Koivu was slashed by Blackhawks star Patrick Kane near the end of the game.

“Kane took a stick with one hand and [is] just wielding it like a tomahawk and hits him in the hands,” he said. “Again, I understand the whole thing of who’s playing who and what’s at stake and all of that.

“And you don’t want to give them opportunity to lose the game because we have a power play. But those are penalties. The high stick is a penalty. Wes McCauley is the best ref in the league. They’ve got to see this. I see it every game.”

Koivu took a diplomatic approach on Thursday, saying that there are times when referees will occasionally miss plays.

“I don’t think we’re treated any worse than the other teams,” he said. “There’s games that you get calls and there’s games where they go against you.

“We can do a better job of keeping the focus when we’re getting some calls against us and just try to maintain the focus on the game.”

To this point, Boudreau has not only watched Cogliano lose several front teeth but lost Cam Fowler and Kyle Palmieri for several games because of upper-body injuries resulting from hits by the Kings’ Jarret Stoll and Phoenix’s Raffi Torres.

Neither was penalized in those games, nor did they receive any supplementary discipline from the NHL. Palmieri also appeared to be elbowed in the head by San Jose captain Joe Thornton on Monday night, but Thornton was back in the Sharks’ lineup Wednesday in Edmonton.

Meanwhile, Corey Perry just finished his four-game suspension for a questionable hit on Minnesota’s Jason Zucker, which the Ducks generally thought would earn some form of discipline though not to that extent.

Boudreau wondered aloud if his team is paying for past sins. Fair or unfair, the Ducks have long carried the reputation of chirping to the officials after whistles (or non-whistles) though talkers Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne have curtailed their beefing in recent years.

It is possible that opponents can take more liberties with this group as there’s no George Parros or other designated heavyweight around to keep things honest. Brad Staubitz is the closest thing to that but he’s still recovering from a facial cut.

Koivu doesn’t see where the Ducks are now being picked on but sees Boudreau’s concerns.

“As a coach, you care for your players,” he said. “When you see somebody losing a few teeth … it was obvious. Everybody saw it. I don’t know how they missed it but they did.

“Sometimes those comments also happen right after the game. You’re still in the heat of the moment or you’re frustrated and you’re emotional. When you kind of sit back and review things the day after, you see them in a different persecptive.”

Boudreau has demanded that the Ducks play with discipline and they generally turn the other cheek but his frustration is building.

The Ducks are tied for first in the NHL with a 24.4 percent conversion rate on the power play but their 82 man advantages are also tied with Boston for last. They have cut their penalties taken way down but have still had 18 more shorthanded situations.

“We’re not the same team that mouths off to all the refs,” Boudreau said. “You can look. We don’t have a two-minute unsportsmanlike penalty yet this year. I would venture to guess we’re at the bottom of the league in misconducts for talking.

“So it’s not us being — or the officials saying, ‘Hey, listen if you’re going to act like dinks, we’re going to treat you like that.’ That’s not the case. It’s tough because our guys are hurt. That’s where we’ve got to draw the line a little bit.”
