is there a way to listen to the game?

Sorry dude. No online radio on NHL.COM till the regular season starts. :(

is there a way to listen to the game?
last year the sharks website broadcast pre season games, check it out or their page.

I think they are only streaming pre season home games this year.

It looks like another play by play night in the San Jose area

Only the Sharks preseason games on the 29th and 30th are being broadcast.

is the station via internet

0-0 after one, I only caught the end but Severyn said Corey Perry was playing very well along the walls down low.

End of first period, 0-0 score. Pretty even period with a slight edge towards the Ducks. :)

Carroll and Severyn commented on how Perry has been the Ducks best player the first two games..contradicts what people said after the first game and training camp.

Sounds like the Ducks have been playing in the SJ zone quite a bit, i'm trying to get a handle on the lines.

Penner just scored on a dish from Shannon

So it sounds like this
Fedoruk/McDonald/Selanne
Penner/Getzlaf/Shannon
Chistov/?(Marchant?)/Ferguson
Miller/?/?

Penner from Shannon and Marchant.

Ducks have just been dominating. Sharks have done nothing this period...it is a nice change from Monday. :D

PENNNNNEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
go ducks go!!!!

Sounds good, but how many regular players are the Sharks playing?

No powerplay goal but lots of sustained pressure.

Penner scores again from Marchant.

ok so Penner is playing with Marchant not Getzlaf

Penner Again!!!
:)

PERRRRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! :yo: :yo: :yo: :yo:

Perry scores. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

I AM LOVING THIS!:) :)

Perry scores, from Getzlaf

i was way off on the lines but it sounds like Carlyle has been moving guys around a bit.

Selanne SCORES on the PP.

My goodness. :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Selanne scores on the PP sounds like it was from Pronger, Selanne is going to benefit big time from the extra room Pronger will give him

Drew Miller got the 2nd assist on the Perry goal who had a horrible camp :sarcasm: and McDonald got the 2nd assist on the Selanne goal.

The Huge Human has 3 points, goal Marchant, Shannon gets his 2nd assist. Poor Vesa Toskala.

Selanne scores on the PP sounds like it was from Pronger, Selanne is going to benefit big time from the extra room Pronger will give him
Yahoo shows Pronger got the assist..
i wish they were showing this game locally... instead it's the dodgers game

Marchant scores!!!

5-0!!! AMAZING!!!

Fedoruk and Parker fighting...Parker seemingly winning.

Brett Severyn sounds like he's creaming his pants over this fight.

WHAT A GAME WHAT A GAME!!!!! :yo: :yo:

Good fight between Parker and Fedoruk
Standing O at the end...from what i can hear

I think Michalek just scored, Wall is now in net by the way.

I think Michalek just scored, Wall is now in net by the way.

Yep, on the PP.

5-1 now. My goodness.

The Brent/Ferguson line drew a penalty

The Brent/Ferguson line drew a penalty

on the PK no less!

This is probably the best period of hockey I have ever listened to. :biglaugh: I am lovin' it. :yo:

End of period.

Shots: 38-14. Ouch.

Ducks scored all 5 goals in 7 minutes. WOW!

End of period.

Shots: 38-14. Ouch.
ouch is right...go ducks :yo:

I take it you haven't listened to many games?;)

Penner-Shannon-Marchant line absolutley dominating. Boy, that period was a treat to listen to.

I read on another board today that Dineen thinks Shannon will make the team. the question would be what line though

Penner Marchant Shannon?

Marchant and Penner had great chem in playoffs and shannon just takes lupuls spot

Penner Marchant Shannon?
If Shannon makes the team, then yeah I think Penner Marchant Shannon would work out great.

It sounds like Chistov is playing with Getzlaf and Perry..they've said Chistovs name alot tonight so I'd consider that a good thing.

Can you listen to the game???

Chistov scores....6-2

Can you listen to the game???
Only on the radio yes.

I will be looking forward to the reports from the people at tonights game.

"hole in the wall" sucks

Game Over, final score: 6-3 Ducks.
Preseason record: 1-1

OB 1 fight and 1 assist, no 2 min penalties. Looking good based on stats.

Final is 6-3. Overall, an excellent game. :) I am even more pumped now!!! :) :yo: (If that is possible...well, I guess it is :biglaugh: ).

Chistov scores....6-2

:handclap: Was hoping he would get one, keep his confidence high. Looks like he got alot of ice time tonight.

OB 1 fight and 1 assist, no 2 min penalties. Looking good based on stats.

He was pretty good. The commentators made several good comments about him. He was shooting a lot.

P.S. The fight wasn't very good.

Cheesy goal:

S. CHISTOV (1) S. FERGUSON (1) S. O'BRIEN (1).

:)

GREAT GAME overall!!!!!! :) :) :)

47 Shots on goal for the Ducks

OB 1 fight and 1 assist, no 2 min penalties. Looking good based on stats.

Throw in his team high +4 and it looks better.

Beauchemin - 2 :dunno:

47 Shots on goal for the Ducks

Oh my goodness. :biglaugh:

EDIT: Pepper, O'Brien led the team in plus/minus with a +4. Very impressive. :)

Ducks:33 Faceoff Wins
San Jose: 25 Faceoff Wins

I left the game after 2nd period. The first period was boring and the Ducks didn't get much done. However, they woke up in the 2nd. THe Getzlaf line started to control play down low while the McDonald and Marchant lines used their speed and quickness to dominate. By the end of the 2nd, Mihalek (sp) scored a softy through Wall. No biggy because our team was playing so well. Oh also, Pronger is just a monster on the pp.

The Ducks lost both fights. O'brien got owned by a shark player while Fedoruk got smoked by Parker. Good fight by two heavyweights.

I don't think you're an Anaheim fan

Why in the hell did you leave the game early? I would do anything to even get to go to a practice.

If Shannon does the make the team, how does that effect our lines??:dunno:

Kunitz-McDonald-Selanne
Chistov-Getzlaf-Perry
Penner-Marchant-Shannon
Niedermayer-Pahlsson-Fedoruk/Green

That lineup looks pretty good, but I think we would see one of the fan favorites in Fedoruk sitting a lot of the time. I'd be fine with Fedoruk and Green splitting the games though.

My nephew is only 3 years old. Mommy wanted him back early.

It's pretty obvious that Jerky is putting on a facade pretending to be a ducks fan, but really he's a kings fan. I wonder why anyone would want to leave the game after the first period because he thought it was "boring" instead of supporting the ducks to the very end :shakehead .

well his reason is legit, so we can forgive him.;)

Fundamental Attribution error, overestimating disposition and underestimating the situation.
He may have a perfectly good reason for leaving the game early and from what I read he's a Ducks fan.

I know you know that he is a great Ducks fan...I just needed an example of Fundamental Attribution error for AP Psych homework, and I kind of found it on HFBoards :)


go ducks!!!!!!!!

And I would've gotten away with it if not for those meddling kids and Brian Griffin.

That's awesome. I wish I could find a way to integrate my AP US History HW with the Ducks...

I know, I can argue that the creation of the Ducks was an integral part of American history! :D :D :D













Ducksforcup goes back to studying... :help:

Haha, I'm doing AP US History now too, I should've have been doing it during the intermissions, but im lazy.

I was at the game...much different from the first one, heh. Selanne and Mac seem to have carried over the chemistry from last year which is no suprise, the passing was just a little off, but nothing to get bent out of shape about. The Getzlaf/Perry line was excellent at forechecking all night...at one point it literally took SJ 1 minute to get out of their own zone while holding the puck the whole time.

Pronger played solid, but not amazing. He played the position game and wasnt as physical as he will be in the regular season. Chistov played great. He was throwing his body around and making good passes. He also didnt try many fancy moves instead dumping the puck into the corner which was a welcome sight. Penner played well but his goals were off great passes by Marchant and Shannon. Shannon was really good...he is making it really, really hard not to choose him. He worked hard on every shift and wasnt afraid to mix it up. He looked skittish on the ppl though.

Perry had a great shot off of a great pass from Getzlaf...they were the best line on the ice all night. O'Brien caught my eye when he carried the puck into the zone, he is actually a lot faster than he looks, suprising speed. However, he skates with the puck too often in the defensive zone which could lead to some turnovers. I liked how he was down low with the puck several times though.

St. Jacques was aweful. Bad passes and puck control...had a couple good hits but wont make the team. Moran was average, not too bad, not too good. His man scored the 3rd goal at the top of the crease.

Giguere didnt get enough action to really disect. He played fine, got into some trouble handling the puck, but thats nothing new. Wall wasnt that bad either...the 1st goal was all his fault but the other two were on the top of the crease.

Lets stay on topic. If you have a dispute with the MOD, take it up with me via PM or one of the Admin.

End of discussion.

I'm curious, how did Scott do?

This guy's a joke, Jerky. How he isn't banned already is sort of a mystery.

End of discussion.

Back on Topic.
I can't wait for October 6th, I'm going to go insane waiting. (I don't know if thats really on topic, oh well :dunno: )

Go Ducks!!!

Ok Guys, MOD said drop it (well he didn't say that exactly, but close enough).
Back to the previous question. How did Scott do out there?

Back to the previous question. How did Scott do out there?

Niedermayer was fine. He didnt do anything crazy at even strength, just Scotty stuff. On the ppl he was the designated rover...he was all over the ice helping out, making passes, digging pucks out from the boards. Niedermayer was Niedermayer, thats the only way I can put it.

I'll give my thoughts on the game..


-I like Fedoruk but he should not be on the first line. Kunitz or Chistov should be there.

-The Penner, Shannon and Marchant line was excellent. Shannon should stay with the team, he'll add more speed and creativity to the team. Penner will be a star in this league if he uses his body like he did tonight.

-The number one power play line was dominant... the two power plays that I noticed that they started (Selanne, McDonald, Chistov, Pronger, Niedermayer) they scored on one and held the puck in the zone for the whole power play the other time. I think the PP could be over 20% this year.

Lines were as follows

Fedoruk-McDonald-Selanne
Miller-Getzlaf-Perry
Penner-Marchant-Shannon
Ferguson-Brent-Chistov

Niedermayer-Beauchemin
Pronger-St. Jacques
O'Brien-Moran

Chistov was used like Lupul last year. He stood in front of the net creating traffic. Personally, I rather have Penner there. But with Pronger unloading his howitzer, I wouldn't want anyone standing in front. Pronger is a beast on the pp. He keeps those pucks in so well allowing Nieds to roam. OH I don't think anyone has mentioned how Pronger broke like a thousand sticks tonight. Expensive night for him.

I think Carlyle is going to have a difficult decision with Fedoruk. Where do you play him? Certainly not the top line. He just doesn't have the skill to keep up with Teemu and Andy Mac. The Getzlaf/Perry line needs a scorer. They control the puck well but need a sniper. Maybe Chistov will do well, I don't know. I wouldn't break up the Penner/Marchant/Shannon line because they are all playing well. And then do you play him with Sammi and RNieds on the checking line? I wouldn't. I rather have Green playing there. So if I was GM:

Kunitz Mac Teemu
Penner Marchant Shannon
Green Pahlsson RNieds
Chistov Getzlaf Perry

Why would anyone play Green over Fedoruk, he doesn't bring anything special.

Green is a somewhat versatile grinder who can play several roles without totally sucking but as a 4th line energy/physical player Fridge is better. And that's without his enforcing skills.

Green was brought in to give Anaheim options with the faceoffs. Its hard to control the play if you don't win the draw. True, Fedoruk is a better energy player. But IMO, Green will add a better element to the team.

I don't understand putting Chistov in front of the net, Why?? trying to get him killed by Prongers shot?

Fedoruk won't be taking faceoffs anyway, it's either Pahlsson or the other winger (Rob Nieds perhaps).

LOL. Poor Cheesy!

agreed, so right now it looks like both of them are depth players, not so bad an option for depth if anyone gets hurt.

isnt Melin a little too old to be sent to the AHL also? its taken him a while to come over and from what I hear he was doing well in Europe.

They played great the first 2 periods, but didn't do that great in the 3rd. Our best players did great and Penner had an awesome game and Chistov did pretty good too. Wall just sucks.

And I would've gotten away with it if not for those meddling kids and Brian Griffin.
lol.... That was funny unfortunately the kid was not alive when that was on Saturday mornings

I don't understand putting Chistov in front of the net, Why?? trying to get him killed by Prongers shot?

Because the best attribute for playing in front of the net is no longer the ability to withstand crosschecks, it's quick reflexes and good hands, which Chistov has. Heck, Kariya spent quite a bit of time camped out in front of the net last season.

I don't understand putting Chistov in front of the net, Why?? trying to get him killed by Prongers shot?

He's going to be Swiss Cheesy by the end of the season!




Okay...I know that was lame, but it would have been hilarious if I was home and photoshopped up a pic really quick.

I was at the game last night and the two players that stood out to me were Shannon and Miller. Miller was on the line mostly last night with Getzlaf and Perry and he seemed to be the perfect fit for that line. He was checking, was doing a good job cycling the puck, and seems to have a decent shot. If not this year, I could see him be the missing piece for that line next year. It would be a long shot, but I'd say Miller has a chance of making the team this year.

Shannon though was awesome. He was probably the ducks fastest skater and is an awesome playmaker. He might end up being a player like louis from from the lightning, or like that smaller player svatos from colorado. This year though, if he makes the team, I could see him getting 15 goals.

Chistov was most impressive on the powerplay. Thats where I can see him doing the most damage. With him, Selanne, McDonald, Niedermeyer and Pronger...no joke...I think they would have a chance of being one of the top power-play groups in the league. They were awesome! Much better then last years power-play group. And to have that chemistry already in the PRE-SEASON and for their FIRST game is AWESOME!

Nice take MightyAdams. Wow, I'm just getting impressed by your posts everyday. So I went back to the early days...a couple of years ago and compared your posts. Its a world of difference. Good job bro.

Oh btw, Enver Lisin has become a pretty nice prospect for those Coyotes.

DUCKS SHOULD DRAFT Enver Lison IN FIRST ROUND

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This awesome Russian player seems to have passed by everybody's radar. Just check out his profile at: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospect.php?pid=3703
He is said to be the fastest skater in this upcoming draft, being faster then even Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin. This guy might end up being the steal of thed draft, like Martin Havlat was for the Senators in the 1999 draft. He can score goals but needs a good centerman to use his full potential. And who else to center his line then Federov? Both are extremely fast skaters and if you add another speedy forward to their line, it might be the fastest line in the NHL next year.
-Lison -Federov -Niedermeyer The website says that he is good both offensively and defensivley. I am not sure why he is not in the top 10 but he would be a steal for the Ducks. To get the fastest skater in the draft, who also is a finisher, and has world class skills (as noted on the website), who wouldn't take this player?

I also was at the game last night. I love Shannon's speed, energy and enthusiasm. One good game doesn't insure a roster spot for him, but I think he has the tools and I'll be pulling for him to make the team. The Marchant-Penner-Shannon line was extremely effective. I thought they played better than Getzlaf's line.

Pepper's favorite, O'Brien, looked good last night, too.

Boy does Pronger take up a lot of space on the ice. I envision an awful lot of power play shots by the Ducks' opponents getting blocked by his big body. Maybe he'll inspire some of the others to "take a puck for the team". The Edmonton Penalty Kill sure blocked a ton of our shots last year. It would be nice to see us turn the tables on them (and the rest of our opponents).

There are still six Exhibition games---oops, I'm supposed to call them Pre-season games---left, but I'm fairly certain that I'll be disappointed if Ryan Shannon doesn't make the team.

Green was brought in to give Anaheim options with the faceoffs. Its hard to control the play if you don't win the draw. True, Fedoruk is a better energy player. But IMO, Green will add a better element to the team.

Im sure Selanne and the rest of the team will be glad to hear good old Travis Green will be watching their back!! :sarcasm:

Kunitz Mac Teemu
Penner Marchant Shannon
Green Pahlsson RNieds
Chistov Getzlaf Perry

I still think Fedoruk will be in the lineup most nights.

He is too good of an enforcer and too important in the lockerroom to be a consistent healthy scratch.

The other thing is Green is a faceoff specialist and thus much more valuable as a fourth line center than as a third or fourth line wing. So if there is no spot at center, scratch him.

Also Shannon still has a lot to prove before making this team.

We have four good faceoff centers in Pahlsson, Getzlaf, McDonald and Marchant...yeah if one of them gets kicked out of the circle its nice to have Green come from the wing and take the faceoff...other than that Fedoruk brings more to the table. The kids on this team, not to mention Teemu and Andy Mac, need someone to watch their backs.

This is probably the best period of hockey I have ever listened to. :biglaugh: I am lovin' it. :yo:

It's a preseason game?:dunno:

Agreed. Green shouldn't be anywhere but the 4th line center. If he can't be used there, he can enjoy the free drinks in the pressbox.:teach:

Kuntiz-McDonald-Selanne
Chistov-Getzlaf-Perry
Penner-Marchant-Shannon
Niedermayer-Pahlsson-Fedoruk
Green, Moen

That lineup looks awesome if our young guys play like they can.

lol.... That was funny unfortunately the kid was not alive when that was on Saturday mornings

Drop it already pepper-belly!

It's a preseason game?:dunno:

5 goals in 7 minutes...it was awesome. :D

5 goals in 7 minutes...it was awesome. :D

Well yeah, I think our offense will have the ability to overwhelm opponents at times...just as we saw at the end of last season.

But I can't get too excited over a game that really means nothing at all. Where both teams basically scratch a lot of their best players. It gives you a small indication of what the regular season might be like. But it's not all that accurate in doing that.

Is this Brian Griffin in new digs? First of all, how is a user name like that allowed, secondly how is this guy not banned already?

thanks for the positive feedback. just hope they can keep shannon and he can get 15 goals for the ducks this year. that would be great.
