Some good choices in there. The Game 2 against Dallas was kind of crappy. I'll watch the last 5 minutes, at least.

I've watched that kings game 6 times already...

Why not show the Detroit one from this year? I didn't get that one on tape...

Me either. Some of these games I dont have on tape so I'll probably be tivoing em.

I wonder if they will keep adding 10 more classic games for every month that passes in the lockout...

How about showing the penalty record games for the Ducks:

12/8/01 at Calgary

and

3/13/98 at Dallas

Could anyone of you record those games and send them across the ocean? :attn:

Damn, I've seen every single one of those games.

Well yeah, it's not like it's lost footage or something.

I'll give FSN credit for putting this together...bringing Coach Babcock into the studio to add analysis of the old games is a nice touch...

another game to remind us how good of a passer Oates was...

Well yeah, it's not like it's lost footage or something.

I was just hoping that there might be some crazy game that I hadn't seen yet. All good choices, I was just hoping for a diamond in the rough or something.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That touch to Sykora was just brilliant.

Adam Oates (that year he was on the Ducks) was sooo sneaky. The things he would do to avoid getting hit (without giving up on the play) were absolutely brilliant. I still remember the game (I think it was Vancouver) where Kariya passed it to him while he was in front of the net, and he was tied up with the dman, so he kicked it (one timed it) to Sykora on the empty side. One more of Sykora's 34 slam dunk goals...

My most pointed memory of Oates from that year was in Game 4 versus the Red Wings. I believe the Wings had scored first to go up 1-0, but on a delayed penalty against the Wings, Dandenault (I believe) coasted back to touch up the puck. Oates hustling back lifted Dandenault's stick, picked up the puck and feathered a pass over to Kariya. Goal. Game tied.

One more of Sykora's 34 slam dunk goals...
One of 34 that counts just as much as a beauty one-timer top shelf, from the top of the circle.

:) It's great they are showing some of the games again since a lot of peole didn't record them. We put them all on DVD's but having the added bonus of Babcock's commentary makes it worth re-recording them.

Reminder Second Classic Game is tonight: :cheers:

Wednesday, Oct. 20 at 7:30 PM

April 10, 2003 at Detroit

Anaheim notched its first playoff win of 2003’s run to the Stanley Cup Finals during this Ducks/Red Wings match-up.

Watching it reminded of me of why I was so fond of Pahlsson.

I actually miss Kariya after watching that.. damnit.

"...no goals in the final 18 games of the regular season..."

That game tonight was just sweet.

That helps.. that last goal just showed me what happens when he actually crashes the net though.

Well, yeah. It's always been that way, back when he was good. The 10 or so minutes after he returned from the Stevens hit he was his old OLD self, crashing the net - he must have had about 6 scoring chances.

Hey, if all someone got for smashing me in the mouth with their stick (and ruining a good season for me, as well as giving me horrible PCS) was 4 games, I would think twice about going to the net too...

Was it four games or two?

Anyway - he didn't really start sucking until the season AFTER he came back from pcs.

I'm sure it was 4. And then Hartsburg (Chicago's coach) say's that Kariya is faking it (while he's missing the rest of the season) and then the Ducks hire Hartsburg, eventually as coach. :handclap:

10 games for interference, 4 games for stick in mouth...

When you say for interference, were you referring to Salei? That was a chicken s--- call if I've ever seen one.

Yes I was.

Anyone else a little depressed after watching some of these games?

I don't know if I can take watching the 03 Playoff games...I mean they were great, but knowing how close they got, and then shut out in Game 7.

What an amazing run, and those game-winners are awesome.

I'll be recording the games, as to who knows when they'll play them again.

I'm watching this Dallas game right now, and for some reason the commentary is off.

Could they only show the video and audio from the rink but not the audio commentary? Strange.

Commentary is on now.. I didn't get to see the first half of this game when it was first on because I had to work.. or was that game 1?

Well the first half of game 1 was like 5 periods long.

This game sucks except for the last 5 minutes or so.

ha...Nieds game tying goal is so garbage... :joker:

Another unreal play by Oates.

God I wish we'd been able to keep him.

Reminder, tomorrow(thurs) at 7:30

May 5, 2003 game 6 of the Dallas series

Ozolinsh scores the game winner(with about a minute left) to send the Ducks to the Western Conference Finals.

Tonight (fri,5th) on Fox Sports West 2:

May 31, 2003 vs. New Jersey

Anaheim's first Stanley Cup Finals win, overtime winner at the Pond.

final reminder:

in 1 hour if your bored put tv on FSW2.

Not on. High school football or some awful crap.

Not on. High school football or some awful crap.

well that sucks...

how are we going to know if the rest of the schedule is accurate?

I was actually looking forward to the last two games they are showing in late November of the 97 playoffs.

It's on the 9th now, according to my Tivo.

I wanted to watch that crap too...

Instead I watched some horror movie with Owen Wilson and Zeta Jones... can't remember the name, but what a buzz kill. :banghead:

The haunted or The haunting...eww...

yeah its on right now FSW2

ha...Chouinard scored...

that Brodeur goal off his own stick on the ice is just sad...

Salei wrister off the faceoff...Oates was so good at faceoffs...

next classic game:

-Wednesday Nov 17th at 7:30

Anaheim/New Jersey June 2nd 2003, OT winner to tie the series.

A couple of thoughts on this one:

Sandis Ozolinsh was fricken amazing at both ends of the ice in this one.
The Ducks had the better of the scoring chances in the 3rd period and OT after the Gomez game tying goal.
God I miss NHL hockey.

classic game tomorrow (Wednesday November 17th) at 7:30 on FSW2.

Game 4 of the New Jersey Series.

classic game tomorrow (Wednesday November 17th) at 7:30 on FSW2.

Game 4 of the New Jersey Series.

Steve Thomas with the OT winner in a 1-0 game...

next game is Friday Nov. 19th at 7:30

game 6 vs New Jersey...I believe this is the game in which Kariya gets run over by Stevens and then comes back and scores a huge goal.

That's the one. These finals games are really pretty hard to watch, at least for me.

Looking forward to those 1997 games next week, though.

I agree on both points.

I assume they are going to add more games in January/Feb/Mar/April...

I'd suggest:

1. First Ducks game. 7-2 loss to Detroit on October 8, 1993.

2. First Ducks win. 4-3 over Edmonton on October 13, 1993.

others: Kariya's first game. Selanne's first game as a Duck.

Or add the game from the first few seasons (I don't really remember that well) where they scored in overtime with .3 seconds left in the game.

I would like to see the 8-6 win over the wings and some old Kariya/Selanne ones. Mostly, just to try to see/remember what made them so good then...

That game was against the Islanders, btw. It was either Douris or Carnbak with the goal.

We should get a pretty good reminder of the greatness of the old dynamic duo in those 97 games.

Believe it or not, I was at that game. :yo: And I'm 90% sure it was Peter Douris who scored it, against Tommy Soderstrom, who proceeded to snap his stick in half...no OTL points in those days. ;) :D

I was there, too. I was halfway down the aisle when they scored.

reminder 7:30 FSN2 Ducks/New Jersey game 6.

Watching the games again, the defense looked fabulous. For all the credit Jiggy got from the playoffs, the Dmen were always in the right position and making the right play. Ozo was awesome as was Rusty and Carney.

I was there too, but I was probably 10 or 11, so I can't remember it that well...

Tonight at 7:30 FSW2

Ducks/Coyotes 1997

first Ducks playoff game ever

and first NHL game I ever saw in person! :)

It was a super fun game, too. I remember there was this big black guy in my section wearing just a vest and a fedora with a frickin pink hatband, high fiving everyone every 5 minutes or so. He had no idea what was going on but he was enthusiastic.

I was at this game as well :eek:


Its strange to actually watch a Duck team that actually sticks up for each other.
This team wasnt exactly loaded with toughness (much tougher then current team) but played with alot of heart

Mark Jansens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sammi Pahlson

This team wasnt exactly loaded with toughness (much tougher then current team) but played with alot of heart

three fighters: Baumgartner, Rychel, Karpa.

In todays NHL thats plenty of toughness. 7 years ago maybe not as much.

Mark Jansens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sammi Pahlson

better at what fighting...?

that reminds me...4 fighters...Rychel,Baumgartner,Janssens,Karpa...mor e than enough toughness.

penalty killing, checking, grit and if you remember Janssens was awsome on the faceoff circle. Pahlson has always been the most overated Duck

Pahlsson is a better penalty killer.

I'll give you checking and grit although Pahlsson is a good checker.

Pahlsson isn't overrated. He does everything well. The only thing that sets him back is finishing ability.

What stands out to me in this game is how many grinders the Ducks had.

Rucchin was injuried this game, so there was :

All Stars: Kariya and Selanne.

Over the Hill: Kurri and Bellows.

Grinders: Joe Sacco, Kevin Todd, Warren Rychel, Ken Baumgartner, Ted Drury, Sean Pronger, Mark Janssens,

Also grinders on D, Karpa,Van Impe, and Dollas. Much different then the current team that turns the other cheek when push comes to shove.

Yeah. Interesting Brian Hayward talking about how good Dmitri Mironov was that year. Daigneault was a good offensive defensemen as well.

Dan Trebil was the other D-man in this game (Jason Marshall played some of the other playoff games). He never turned out to be much in the NHL, traded to Pittsburgh for a 5th round pick in 2000 draft. (used to draft Bill Cass).

Vintage Kariya and Selanne. Man they flew though the neutral zone.

Karpa was the worst defenseman in the universe but I have to admit he was fun to have around.

That was a crap goal that Roenick just scored.

I remember booing Tverdovsky every time he touched the puck. That was fun at the time.

If this team had a good 2nd line plus a Jovo type Dman and this team is almost perfect and probably be a contender. Cheap Disney should have spent some money that year. :banghead:

Worked, too. He was really fighting the puck all series.

Gee is that all?

Gee is that all?


:pizza:

I forgot Richard Park.

1:00 pm today they are showing:

1997 playoffs Anaheim/Phoenix game 6, Kariya OT winner.

They are showing that Kings/Ducks 6-5 game again right now (5:00) on FSW2!

They are showing that Kings/Ducks 6-5 game again right now (5:00) on FSW2!
Yeah, I watched it again, for like the 3rd or 4th time. I honestly wish they would show a live Cinci game instead, but I guess the overhead is a lot more for that.

It was still fun to watch.

They are showing that Kings/Ducks 6-5 game again right now (5:00) on FSW2!

Taped that game and already watched it 5 times. :banghead:

Taped that game and already watched it 5 times. :banghead:
Exactly.

so there going to keep repeating the same classic games?

Anaheim/Detroit triple OT Game was on again today...

How hard is it to show some other games???

Still waiting for the lost Calgary/Anaheim game with the brawls

Other markets are showing similar classic games
