Sundin????

Posted on November 4, 2008

I dont know why all of the sudden there is talk of Mats Sundin being intrigued by the Ducks? This is the wierdest rumor Ive heard ina while. First off, Sundin would have a hefty price tag. Secondly, we’re only $900,000 under the cap. So 2 things would have to happen for this to even stand a chance of happening….Sundin would have to play virtually for free (wont happen) and we would have to give up someone(s) ((could but wont happen). So enough with the rumor. Although for the record, I would love having Mats on the team!

Ducks put out the flames!!!

Posted on November 2, 2008

Ducks had a great game tonight and at times looked like they were playing in an exhibition. The flames looked flat tonight for some reason, and werent moving their feet. Because of this the boys were able to get another 2 points. The flames were about to muster 2 goals, 1 of which was a softy and should never have happend, but what are you gonna do? Anyhow, there was a scary moment when Huskins was smooshed into the wall hard face first. He left the game and didnt return until the 2nd period, and looked to be ok.

13 goals, 13 SO rounds, 13pts for Ducks…

Posted on November 1, 2008

Halloween couldnt have been scarier! First off the Ducks played an unusal game tonight. taking a 2-0 lead then 2-1, only to give up 4 goals in the second period to Vancouver! Now part of me was torn about the game at that point. you see, i was picked to participate in one of the contest they do at the arena with the live crowd. I was picked to compete against 2 other fans for a 1 and 3 chance at winning a return chance at winning a car! I know, thats a bit confusing. Basically, i won tonight, so i get to come back on the last game of the season to compete for a 1 in 39 chance at winning a car! Whew, thats alot of writing. So at this point in the game, i didnt know whether to be happy at my contest, or mad at my ducks losing! i chose mad at my ducks losing! They must have felt my presence, because all of the sudden the Ducks go on to score 3 goals to tie the game, then scoring again in the 3rd period tieing the score once again at 6-6! After no go during OT we went to shootout, where it took 13 shots for Vancouver to finally win in the shootout 7-6! It was a messy game, lots of positives as well as negatives, but all in all it felt like a playoff game! Until we meet again Canuck….I’ll take the 1 point!

The squids were flying and so were the hats!!!!

Posted on October 29, 2008

The Red Wings came to town and from the get go it felt like a playoff game! I only wish we had a dominance over Dallas like we do Detroit, then maybe last year would have been a different outcome, but for now we have tonight!! The wings were very physical from the beginning finishing their checks and oddly enough, provoking for fights. At times they even seemed undisciplined!! Anyhoot…the Ducks were matching them shot for shot and check for check, making this game feel like a playoff preview rather than game 11 of the regular season! Alot happened tonight…there were 3 fights on the ice, and one in the stands, there was a hat trick by Teemu, and 3 squids were thrown onto the ice!! The squids are usually reserved for red wing victories but seeing that tonights game wasnt going exactly as planned, i think some of the Red fans were just getting rid of the gooey stuff before making their way to the parking lot! The game was great, the Ducks looked great, even Holmstrum chirping at Scott Nieds and trying to get him to fight only to have Nieds dump him like laundry was a sight for sore eyes! We’ll meet these bums again later in the season, but for tonight the ducks owned the wings!! Free fries for everyone!!

Ohhhh Cana-duh!!!!

Posted on October 26, 2008

Wow! yesterdays game was by far the best game the Ducks have played all season long! I love the fact that 8 different ducks got points and that Perry, Getz, Seleanne, and Kunitz scored goals…..I also like the fact that Parros continues to mature into a goal scoring hockey player!! WOW parros!!! keep it up!! The best part though, is that we beat a scary 5-0 team like the Canadiens in their own building!! It was a great game, and from the beginning Hazy had said that the Canadiens had a 4 average of goals against, so this gaame was not going to be a 1-0 situation, and boy was he right!! I still dont like that Jiggy gave up 4 goals, but in this situation I’ll take it! 6-4 is an impressive battle. Keep it up boys, stay the course and GO DUCKS!!!

oh brother!!!

Posted on October 24, 2008

what the heck were the ducks thinking?? They are up 4-0 and then like a scheduled event, they start to sink……4-1, then 4-2, then just like that it is 4-3 in less than 3 minutes it seems. I just dont understand why the ducks get comfortable on the rare occasion when they have a lead and then choke! i still have not forgotten the horrendous loss to the queens after we were up 2-0, then BOOOM, queens score on our asses and win! We need to continue playing hard, regardless of whether its 2-0 or 20-0!! no more defensive stuff…..no more just playing keep away!! we have to stay sharp and play like we’re trailing for the entire 60 minutes! if we would have lost tonight, it would have been an embarrassment….we have what many consider the best defense in the NHL, and we get scored on like they are invisible. Tighten up your straps boys….stop messing around and play like you mean it.

Whew!!!!!!!!

Posted on October 22, 2008

Wow. we just pulled that one off! We had no business going into overtime with a team like Toronto. Instead of dwelling on the bad, i am going to do something different and look only at thwe good! GEORGE PARROS!! What ever this kid (yea I know he isnt a kid but so what) did all training camp long is obviously woking and he should keep it up! Who knew he would have more goals scored than GETZ, PERRY, or KUNITZ?? Great break away shot that made all the highlight reels! Keep it going George!! Also, glad to see Perry finally scored a goal in a game along with Teemu! As i said before we had no business in OT with the Leafs….but I’ll take the W!

Why why why!!!!!!!

Posted on October 19, 2008

Just one game after everything started looking up, the Ducks look like primadonnas out there!
i’ve come up with some questions that need answering:

Why is Bobby Ryan in Iowa?????

Why must we insist on making the perfect shot?

Why cant we just shoot to the net and see what happens?

Why dont we have a guy sitting on the other side of the net waiting for rebounds like every other NHL team seems to have?

Why cant Teemu control the puck?

The Ducks looked promising after their last game, but tonight, we could not score a goal to save our lives! We jusst continue to make other goalies look like all stars! i am fed up and frustrated. I love my Ducks, but the playoffs are inching farther and farther away from us.

Finally the Ducks come back to Anaheim!!

Posted on October 17, 2008

Well tonight was a breath of fresh air!! i must say, the team played tonight like it was 2006-2007 all over again. infact the last time i saw them look this dominant was the game 5 of the stanley cup championship at home! So that proves one thing…..the talent and the ability os there, something needed to be tweaked in order for everything to click. That plus the fact that Pronger finally shaved!! What was he thinking? Beards are for playoffs!!! Oye. Anyhow, no one better to beat than the undefeated sharks to help our climb back into contention. Lets keep it up boys. We all knew you could do it…..you’all just had to want it bad enough.
