The Mighty Ducks have been hit hard by injuries, but they received good news when center Ryan Getzlaf returned from injured reserve and left wing Travis Moen was back in the lineup Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche.

Center Sergei Fedorov, defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh and right wing Corey Perry remain out, but the Ducks got a boost on their recent homestand by winning all four games...

Duck enforcer Kip Brennan was scratched Thursday night because of a strained left shoulder.

Beer Garden before every Friday night game: :cheers:

Arrive early for the Miller Lite Beer Garden with Jack FM outside before the game.

Fans must be 21 years of age with a ticket to the game to attend the Beer Garden.

Hola, Hope y'all are tired from last night :). Should be a good one and it ain't televised, at least up here. I was hoping someone could help me out with how Steve Bernier looks. It's likely he'll make his NHL debut tonight with Primeau and Thornton injured.

Anyway, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Ducks will reopen their renovated team store at the Arrowhead Pond on Friday night at 6:45. before their home game against San Jose. Fedorov is expected to sign autographs and work at the cash register for the first wave of customers.
Customer: Excuse me sir, can you make change for a twenty?

Fedorov: Twenty dollars is a very good bill. It is very big. Forty dollars is better, but... you know, it is very difficult.

I see you Ducks fans hate Dallas Drake too.

Welcome to the party.

Fedorov running the cash register? Is that a good thing?

Does the money he makes working the register count against the cap?

At about $74,000 per game he might as well be doing something.

Vishnevski DESTROYED Dimitrakos. WOW.

The Sharks are playing very aggressive and creating alot of problems for our defensemen. Jiggy is keeping us in this game.

not the best period for the Ducks...I think they are glad it's over and its 0-0. I'm expecting a better effort in the 2nd.

Giguere looks solid.

Great hit by Vish on Dimitrakos.

Dude What Channel Is It On Direct Tv
It Says Program Not Available

Goc ya!

(Have to admit, that was a hell of a game.)

:biglaugh:

ducks looked kind of tired, they played pretty good defensively after the first.

Getzlaf was good, Giguere stole a point.

Goc ya!

(Have to admit, that was a hell of a game.)
Yawn. What a boring game.

Sharks are the new Devils.

Yawn. What a boring game.

So does that mean we now have the best goaltending in the league and are going to win some Stanley Cups...sweeeeet..... ;)

Two teams with no idea how to score... Giguere got in their heads early. The sharks had way too many chances to need 60+ minutes (and a stupid fn penalty by salei) to win.

Ducks played gay and the only reason they got a point is Giguere. We're starting to see how good he is...

wow what a boring game.

Sharks played better they probably deserve the second point.

Giguere basically stole a point for the Ducks...we'll take it and move on...

Fedoruk suffered a strained back and will be evaluated today.

(LA Times)

some quotes:

"It's a good thing we got one point (in the standings)," Salei said. "Jiggy kept us in the game as long as he could. We just wasted a great effort by the goalie."

"They dominated the game for the first two periods," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "The first two periods, it was a turnover nightmare."

"We came out a little flat, but we had a pretty good third period," Giguere said. "That game could have gone either way. I think we should feel good about getting a point."

injury update:

Ducks left wing Todd Fedoruk left 8:44 into the third period after suffering a back strain when he missed a check attempt and crashed into the boards. He will be re-evaluated today. ... Rookie right wing Corey Perry, saying he feels "10 times better" after having suffered a concussion a week earlier, planned to resume workouts on a stationary bicycle today. ... Winger Kip Brennan missed his second consecutive game because of a strained left shoulder.

you kiddin? Sharks are much faster....the Ducks were the clutchers and grabbers all night.

Yeah the sharks did no clutching and grabbing yesterday(both teams did plenty, the officials were letting that go). The sharks have a good team, they are very fast they deserved the two points.

Looks like Fedorov will be back next week sometime, thank goodness, Lupul could use him. I'd like to see them roll a niedermayer,fedorov,lupul line. Good balance of grit and skill.

According to theAHL.com, Trevor Gillies was called up to replace Fedoruk's muscle in the lineup. Could be interesting...
