PERIOD 1: 1 - 1

PERIOD 2: 1 - 3

PERIOD 3: 1 - 5

Hmm if the Ducks don't want to show up to play, then I wont bother to write the review. I'm dissapointed. I don't know what their problem is (well I know it's inconsistancy, but I don't know WHY). *Sigh* And WHY do we lose to all the sucky teams? Oilers will be 2 and 0, Phoenix is 4 and 0. WHAT? I don't know...

PERIOD 1: 2 - 1

PERIOD 2: 3 - 1

PERIOD 3: 4 - 1

We played much better tonight. And I expected quite a few goals because when the Ducks get shut out, they usually take it out on the net the following game! Good Job Ducks!! Nicely played game.

I had to listen to all of it on the radio so I can't really give a detailed review of the game, but the main point that I can point out is that we WON. And got 2 points. :) Yay. GO DUCKS!

Game 25: Ducks @ Canucks

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket @ Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


PERIOD 1: 0 - 0

PERIOD 2: 0 - 3

PERIOD 3: 0 - 4

Yup. The score really speaks for itself. I'm not putting all the blame on the ref's but they sure as hell didn't help. There were 4 or 5 (Ahlers lost count) 5 on 3 chances for Vancouver. From the 2nd period on, we were in the box most of that time. Ducks appeared to just give up WHICH I HATE. I can not STAND IT when a team gives up. Points are valuable. They're acting like they're going to automatically be in the playoffs. YOU HAVE TO GET THERE FIRST! How do you get there.. POINTS. POINTS THAT YOU DONT GIVE UP!!!! >:-O I hope Randy Carlyle rips them a new one in the locker room. If you watch the 1st period you'd have no idea that they played as poorly as they did. The 1st period was their ONLY strong point in the game. 2nd and 3rd period was a JOKE!

And giving Vancouver's God goalie a shutout just pisses me off. Yea he's a great goalie, but the way they worship him... its borderline obsessive. Giguere has the same save percentage he has. So I'm announcing this now, Giguere is a God too. :) I feel better now.

Game 24: Ducks vs. Kings

vs. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket vs. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


PERIOD 1: 0 - 2

PERIOD 2: 1 - 2

PERIOD 3: 3 - 2

Ohhh MY God.. if you missed this game. Wow! LOL. First period was a period to forget, but period 2 brought on the comeback... and period 3 was a doozie!!! So Getzlaf tallied 2 goals, and Kunitz scored the goal that put us ahead (aka game winning goal). This game was so AWESOME!! The last couple of minutes looked grim for us again. Got another last minute penalty... and THEN we got ANOTHER penalty after that... so the Queenies pull their goalie and it's a 6 on 3 situation. WOW... but the 3 players on the ice stood their ground and WE WON!!! :D :D :D :D Woooooooo.

Queens actually got a non-goal. It woulda been a goal if we hadn't taken a penalty resulting in a blow of the whistle... but for once I was happy we commited a penalty LOL because it stopped them from tieing the game up. Whew.. close call. Hahaha. Queen fans are probably pissed about that, but I really don't care... it gave them a PP and then that 6 on 3... not my fault their team SUCKS.

haha.
Queen bashing will never get old. It's just too easy.
Freakin sweet game!!! :P

Game 23: Ducks vs. Coyotes

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket vs. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


Period 1: 1 - 1

Period 2: 2 - 2

Period 3: 3 - 3 (dang nabbit)

OT: 3 - 3

S/O: 3 - 4

Penalties at the very end of a game are no bueno. The Penalty Pronger took however, can be described as a good penalty because it prevented (though I should only say delayed) a goal. But then of course they score on the power play so it goes into OT. Then a shootout, which I didn't want because it wasn't Giguere in our net, and Bryz was in the other net! Oy vey.

The plus side of tonight is, 1 point even though we lost.. and I won the trivia challenge. *does the cabbage patch dance*

Write this one off as the 3rd loss to Phoenix this year... umm what? That SO doesn't sound right, but it's true. Phoenix IS playing a lot better this year than in years past but Carlyle still puts in the backup against them when a starting goalie should be in. Not a bash on Hiller though, he played a pretty decent game and faced more shots on net than Bryz did. I just think Jiggy would be a better fit between the pipes against Phoenix.

Congrats Sammy! + Getzlaf, Bertuzzi, and Schneider news.

Congrats to Sammy, he's now a proud father of a baby girl. :)

Ryan Getzlaf has been signed to a 5 year deal with the Ducks. He would have entered free agency this summer. He's at 5 years for 26.5 million. GOOD MOVE by Burkie.

Bertuzzi has been cleared to play and can return as soon as tonights game vs. Dallas.
Schneider has also made his way off the injury list
Which means the Ducks are COMPLETELY injury free for the first time this season.

Game 22: Ducks @ Stars

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket @ Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


PERIOD 1: 1 - 0

PERIOD 2: 1 - 0

PERIOD 3: 1 - 2

This is a very irritating loss because it shouldn't have happened. I'm not gonna sit here pointing fingers because that's lame, but this loss shouldn't have happened. Stars ended up with a 5-on-3 in the 3rd and capitalized on it twice which put them in the lead. There were MANY chances by us to tie up the game and nothing.. Poo.

With that being said, I think I remember we lost last year right before thanksgiving, and won the game after thanksgiving. So maybe it'll be the same way this year. So I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving (and for those in Canada who already had Thanksgiving... hope you have a good day tomorrow?! LOL)

Put the 10 minute rule the Ducks have into play tonight. Be as pissed off as you want about the loss for 10 minutes after the game ends, and then move on and look toward the next game! :) It's only 2 days away.

Official Goodbye Bryz Post.

Bryz is now a desert dog. In fact, he's playing RIGHT NOW against LA.

I'll miss ya Bryz! Prove you're number 1 goalie material. Phoenix really got a steal.

Ducks will be seeing Bryz soon enough. Friday.

Good luck to ya. Just not more luck than the Ducks. Sorry, you're kinda the enemy now when we play you.

SHOOTOUT GURUS!! Giguere is THE MAN!!!! I'm still weary of them but I'm also starting to not hate them AS much... though I would prefer regulation wins (who wouldn't?), I'll take a shootout win (or an OT win) as well.

Sweet game! We could have easily won in regulation too, as there were two times that the puck was inches away from crossing that line... but I'll take it. I'll take it I'll take it!!

<3

Goodbye Bryz??

L I N K, CLICK

Appears like Burke is getting ready to let go of Bryz in a "big" trade. (Only rumored to be a big trade, no one knows what's going on right now).

So is this Goodbye Bryz? He was placed on waivers tonight after the game, allegedly.

More on this later, when more info is available.

UPDATE: It's official. He has been placed on waivers. Here's the full story, and a conference call with Burke about the whole thing.

PERIOD 1: 0 - 1

PERIOD 2: 2 - 2

PERIOD 3: 6 - 3

Woooo! Not only a come from behind type of win, but a CONVINCING win!! :) And in regulation too! YAYYYY!!!! Gave a nice little reality check to the Queens. Their announcers were hillarious too by the way. They must've mentioned about 8 times that they're the "comeback kids" and that it's possible for them to do to the Ducks what they did to Dallas. Right. That's gonna happen... (In case you missed it or have been living under a rock, the Kings came back to beat Dallas down 5-0 with 5 minutes 45 seconds left in the 3rd period. They tallied 5 goals in 5 minutes and 7 seconds.) That type of thing only happens once in a blue moon and now they think it's going to happen all the time! RIOT!

Perry was just shy of a hat trick tonight. I was hoping he'd get it. Yelling at the TV for him to stay out there for the empty net. LOL. Oh well. He's been ON FIRE this season. 11 goals.

Sweet win. I love beating those chumps. :)

Re-live the moment!

Pronger DID NOT get suspended for this. Handzus deserved what he had coming. You DO NOT shoot the puck at the goalie after the final horn.

So re-live this ownage by Pronger, and what Handzus get what he had coming to him. :)

Vote NOW, Vote OFTEN!

All-Star voting has begun.

Remember: Giguere, Pronger, Getzlaf, Beauchemin, and McDonald are all available on the ballot. :)

PERIOD 1: 2 - 1

PERIOD 2: 3 - 1

PERIOD 3: 3 - 3

Over Time: 3 - 3

Shoot Out: 4 - 3

Hell yeah!!!!! 3rd shootout win in a row!!!!!! :D Yayyyyy!! I'd much rather they have won it in regulation though and NOT give those retards up the street 1 point but whatever, I'll take this, we still beat them. :) Wooo. I have to say, if you've never encountered a Queens fan, consider yourself lucky. They are the most ruthless fans on the planet. Raider nation in hockey form. Rude yelling things during the Anthem while a sargent is singing it (that's just distrubingly rude), and ruthless when they even score 1 goal. [[Alright I'm being unfair, there ARE some Queen's fans out there that know how to behave, but lets make that keyword SOME]].

So who saw that Pronger fight eh? Pronger must have really been ticked off because he doesn't fight much, but that retard who provoked it deserved it if he made Pronger that mad. Don't piss that guy off. Pronger knocked that kid out for a lil bit and knocked his mouth piece right outta his mouth. Just don't piss him off.

I should add in don't piss Getzlaf off either, but I like watching him when he's pissed. He's got spunk. And he takes his anger out not only on the player(s) that pissed him off, he takes it out on the net too.

Good game. Well worth missing art class for.

Woo hoo 2nd shoot out win in a row!! LOL. Giguere shut out both trys the Sharks had in the shootout... Getzlaf and McDonald both got shootout goals and Schneider missed. 2 points puts us in 1st place in the Pacific Division.. which right now isn't much to brag about.. but it's still a good thing to see! :) We're back where we belong for now! HOORAY!!

Teemu was at the game. He looked happy.

PERIOD 1: 1 - 1

PERIOD 2: 3 - 4

PERIOD 3: 5 - 5

I dunno what to say about this one. We played... well enough to win. Phoenix being one tied for last place in the NHL should have been a breeze for the Ducks, but you know what they say. "Any Team Can Beat Any Team On Any Given Night."

I do have to say though, Schneider just keeps on impressing me and I am SO glad he is on our team.

This is a hard loss to take, but the bright point is.. well we did get a point. So it's not a total loss, but a loss is a loss. LOL I just contradicted myself there, but you should know what I mean.

Blanked AGAIN. They appeared as though they just quit playing and gave up... IN THE SECOND PERIOD. That means 2 periods full of... crappy playing. When it was 1-0 I thought to myself: "wow they are so lucky it's not worse than this".... oh.. it got worse. And like the Columbus game way back when, I'd just rather NOT talk about it. The score speaks for itself.

Nice impressive win tonight. Corey Perry with the Gordie Howe hat trick, and did you see his empty net goal at the end? ALL THE WAY from behind OUR goal line. SWEET GOAL! Watch a replay of it if you missed it... beautiful goal.

Schneider is making his name known on the Ducks as well. He had a great night and impressed Ducks fans.

Great game tonight, I'm very happy with the way they played.

Niedermayer Establishing his own Personal Deadline

THIS IS FROM TSN:

"Scott Niedermayer hasn't entirely made up his mind as to whether to return to the NHL or not, however he intends to force that decision in the coming weeks.

Niedermayer believes he needs to establish a personal deadline and won't say when that deadline is, other than to admit a decision on his playing future will be made well before Christmas.

The veteran defenseman say he has been working out, staying in shape and is just starting to intensify his routine.

Perhaps a hint, at least partially, his decision has been made, although he will not state that for the record.

The fact the Ducks are a sub-500 hockey team, struggling to regain their Stanley Cup form hasn't been lost on Niedermayer and he may feel a sense of responsibility to help Anaheim defend.

To date, Ducks general manager Brian Burke hasn't pressured his former captain, and it doesn't appear he'll have to.

Burke will soon have an answer and so will Niedermayer's fans."



SOUNDS LIKE HE IS GETTING READY TO COME BACK TO ME.
Take it as you will.

Schneider?
