Preview:The Ducks, 1-1 in their opening two exhibition games, face the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim. The weekend itinerary calls for games Saturday against the San Jose Sharks in Fresno and Sunday at Vancouver before the Ducks play Monday against the Kings at Staples Center.

Mostly veteran players are scheduled to be in action tonight and Monday. That group includes goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere, defensemen Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger, right wing Teemu Selanne and centers Andy McDonald, Todd Marchant and Samuel Pahlsson.

"We felt it was counterproductive to bring some of our veterans into that 'B' group," Carlyle said. "Their seniority and their stature give them the respect from coaches and management that we feel they deserve."

Can you add an internet radio link onto your little list there? AM830 gets me static here in Scotland.

However, I don't know if there is internet radio yet. Let me check the Canucks side. I think they might have something.

Are Beauchemin, Niedermayer, and DiPenta the only veterans *not* playing?

Are Beauchemin, Niedermayer, and DiPenta the only veterans *not* playing?

Also Penner, Moran, and Green. But yeah, the Ducks will be playing their A-Team tonight. Oh, Moen will be playing tonight.

I have no idea who the Canucks are playing... the only given is

Naslund/Morrison/Bulis as they haven't played yet.

1040 is a good site to listen to during the games.

7 players dressed tonight that most likely will not be on team...kind of an in between roster from the previous two games.

1040 is a good site to listen to during the games.

Actually, that has changed.

i hope Chistov can get a couple of goals in this game. I want him to become the player that a lot of us expected him to be.

Actually, that has changed.

I think you are confusing Team 1040 (Vancouver) for the Mighty 1090 which was Anaheim's radio last season.

Sweet! You incorporated my where/what theme Jerky! :) Nice job with the GDT! :yo: :)

Yeah, cool GDT.
But we need more trivia stuff :)

GO DUCKS :yo: (I say this while wearing a Vancouver Canuks sweater, I really need to get a Ducks sweater)

nice to be able to listen to the game for a change.

1040 is coming in well. Thanks for the link Jerky!

sounds like there is a delay at the start of the game due to an issue with the glass.

no it's been perfect for me so far.

Jiggy hit in the mask, a little shaken up, but he appears alright. :)

Penalty against Getzlaf... the Nucks haven't been able to really get anything going yet.

EDIT: Peters got one too. 2 man advantage for them. Me scared.

bad penalty by one of the rookies...come on man.

Shots: 6-4 Ducks with 8:30 left.

A little scruffle. No real fights.

good kill....who is fighting?

They said Peters and Mcivar. From the sounds of it though, it didn't sound like anything really happened. :dunno:

EDIT: Only penalty on the play was on Rullier for roughing. :)

Ah, retaliation from the Naslund hit I would assume. Special teams play is dominating this game.

PP sounds really good. Pronger really adds a new element.

Luongo sounds good...so do the Ducks.

Luongo sounds good...so do the Ducks.

Yay! :handclap:

I fell asleep when I got home and woke up about 45 seconds ago.

Welcome back! :handclap:

A double minor given to the Nuck player. Wow.

EDIT: Moen got two minutes, so just a two minute PP.

And then S. Nieds gets a penalty.

Penalty fest.

Getzlaf hit somebody really hard... :D

this game hasnt been great as far as gameplay...too many penalties. Ducks sound like they are dominating though, which they should be.

wow that guy is an idiot.

Big scruffle. Canucks obviously frustrated.

this game hasnt been great as far as gameplay...too many penalties. Ducks sound like they are dominating though, which they should be.

Yah, not a good period as far as excitement goes. After the first 5 minutes, it took a dive. The PP really sounded encouraging though and the Ducks basically dominated. :)

wow that guy is an idiot.

dwyer is an idiot, frankly i dont know why hes on our team...

Dwyer giving 4 minutes of penalties and a misconduct. Rullier giving a misconduct.

5 on 3 for a full two minutes. :yo:

wow that guy is an idiot.

yeah Dwyer, we hate that guy, we don't know why the guy is even playing. in the first preseason game he must've took like 3 stupid penalties.

ANDYMAC SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A PP GOAL!!!!!!!!!!! :) :yo: :yo: :yo:

Poor Luongo, he just getting hung out to dry here.

Canucks pissed, Josh Green gets an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

more penalties? Id rather have 5-5 than another ppl here. Jeeze. Lets get a GAME going?!?

McDonalds a fluke and Selanne is too old :sarcasm:

End of period one, 3-0 ducks :)

sweet! GO DUCKS!

End of period. Ducks owned. :) :yo:

hey i want to ask the anahiem players what they think of our new look canucks?

Aren't they great or what?:sarcasm:

Carroll and Severyn interviewing Glencross right now. Really nice, very well spoken, and he sounds like quite the determined man. :) I like him even more now. :)

He also said he likes California. OK, now I am sold. :D :D :D

Said Selanne is a vet he looks up to for advise. :) No surprise there. :)

man im pissed off luongo sucks...

Another 5 on 3 for over a minute. :yo:

5 on 5 now...how long will it last? :confused:

man im pissed off luongo sucks...

Pay no attention to this guy. He isn't a Canucks fan.

man, they cant even get all on the ice at once...?

The Vancouver radio guys don't sound too optimistic about their team.

Fight!

sounds like Glencross got his clock cleaned.

Glencross lost that one...

nice Perry, well done.

nice Perry, well done.

Where are all the Perry haters now? :dunno:

PERRY SCORES!!! IT IS A PP GOAL!!!! :) :yo:

McDonalds a fluke and Selanne is too old :sarcasm:

Don't forget that Kunitz is a fluke, too.

Where are all the Perry haters now? :dunno:

Everyone but Duck fans hate Perry, and Im fine with that. Penalty shot????

Pahlsson taking the penalty shot?

GOD misses a PS.

Pahlsson taking the penalty shot?

Somebody covered the puck in the crease with their glove. :D

Where are all the Perry haters now? :dunno:
At the game? he sure has been getting crapped on alot during training camp though..

man the vancouver broadcast keeps cutting out. Lame.

At the game? he sure has been getting crapped on alot during training camp though..

oh yeah, I forgot people were on Perry...hm. Seems for nothing now eh?

No my bro used my tixs tonight. From the immortal words of philospher Allen Iverson, its only practice man. Perry plays when it really counts.

End of period 2.

Shots: 28-8. The shot count in this case really does tell the whole story.

The Perry goal: (THANKS TO NHL.COM for all stats)! :)

Perry (1) from Getzlaf (2) and Skinner (1). Skinner's first as a Duck! :)

Perhaps the mindset of a guy changes in training camp when he feels safe, there isn't that need to go out and prove yourself..not that, that is a good thing but you don't see any of the vets going full steam ahead. Perry is probably likely always going to have those brain farts where he overpasses or over dekes occassionally and that sticks in your head easier than say doing great on the cycle or getting into good positions on the ice.

Man this game has sucked.

that a boy Bruno, don't let this scrub McGuyver nail our skill players.

OD took on Mcivar after the hit and gave him a good fight. Good man. :clap:

team toughness right there...

O'Donnell protecting Andy Mac.

Ducks have a PP.

This really has been a boring game.

Huskins and Skinner on the PP..can you say money?

Yes I can!

and they SCOREEE!!!!!!! ANDYMAC!

Money indeed.! :)

Take that Rally. :p: :biglaugh:

Palhson and Moen on the PP now. Caryle rewarding his players. :clap:

Moen and Bieska fighting.

See what happens when Moen is on the PP? RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT

Moen completley owning Bieksa!!! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Wow, the Ducks are owning every part of this game.

this game really could get ugly...Bieksa is going nuts...he will get a game misconduct.

And poor Bieska gets a misconduct

Man those announcers are kind of negative aren't they. Sounds like we're dominating though.

C'mon regular season. Let's go.

Damn, I think Skinner's got a real good chance to make this team. He was very impressive in the rookie tourney, and even though all guys impressive there don't always do well with the big club(like Glencross that year he dominated in the tourney), looks like Skinner was pretty solid out there. I wouldn't mind him as our 6th defenseman at all.

And if this game told me anything, it tells me how the Kunitz-McDonald-Selanne line was indeed a fluke from last year. ;) Seriously, it seems every sports forcaster projected huge drops for them(Selanne not scoring more than 75 points, and he was the best of the three), and while it's only the preseason, they sure look pretty *** solid thus far. I hope Selanne can once again prove all the critics wrong(this time about age), and McDonald and Kunitz surprise everybody again, this time with great follow-up seasons.

Thanks for the report. :) I too got the impression that Skinner played a really solid game. :)

And of-course, a great game for the top line. :clap:

Pretty much everyone had a good game! :)

how did giguere play?

how did giguere play?

You didn't just ask that... jk.

He played the three periods and had 22 saves.

I am so glad to see the Ducks doing well even if its pre-season, this season should be very interesting.

how did giguere play?

Solid. Didn't get tested until the third when the ref got whistle happy and was sharp when he finally saw some shots. Vancouver couldn't hit the freaking net though but Jigs looked real good tonight. Had a little scare in the first when he took one to the face and knocked his mask off but JS is tough.

As for the rest them. Man, I don't want to get too ahead of myself but this team is amazing. Our PP is going to be lethal this season with those two guys anchoring it. The PK was tested, often, and totally rose to the challenge. Marchant had a strong defensive game as did Sammy. Getzy and Perry were awesome tonight as were the top line. Cheesy was kind of invisible tonight, not contributing very much but through his body around and got his nose dirty.

But the player that stood out for me tonight was Skinner. Out of the bubble players, he moves the puck the best and makes great decisions with it too. Very poised and showed a lot talent. Perry's goal happened because of the pinch he made on the play. I would have no problem seeing him on the opening night roster, no problem at all.

Oh and Luongo was the only player on the Nucks worth a damn tonight. If not for some brilliant saves this game would have been a stinker in the first 8 mins of the game. With Ohlund and Mitchell in the lineup, he could steal a bunch of games for Vancouver.

This was a boring game for a lot of people, but I enjoyed every second of it. I just love when the Ducks beat the Canucks (LA ranks pretty high on the list too), is like a momentary Christmas day.

The highlights now up on Ducks TV.

I think your way off honestly. I think Skinner has zero chance for that spot, and O'brien and Bruno are battling it out for that one.

Man, I don't want to get too ahead of myself but this team is amazing. Our PP is going to be lethal this season with those two guys anchoring it.

Yeah our lethal power play that went 3/21 last night. That is incredably unacceptable. They blew multiple 5-3s last night and just were not able to convert. I hope they move Chistov out of the screen position and put Penner in, that would help the main unit out a lot. I think Carlyle is gonna be running more PP drills at camp now.

*** are you talking about? 3 for 14 is a great percentage -- I'll take that any day of the week.

If you're really a Ducks fan, you must be a pessimistic one.

Did you watch the game? I'm talking about how it executed and how well Scotty and Prongs kept the puck in and kept the thing moving. If not for Luongo early in the game it could have ended up being like 5 PP goals. I don't care how many chances you get but 3 PP goals in one goal is a lot.

Oh and Skinner has just as much chance of making the team if he keeps playing the way he's playing. It'd be ridiculous to send him down if shows he's the best out of the remaining d-men. We still have two weeks to find out but he definitely has better than zero chance.

This was a boring game for a lot of people, but I enjoyed every second of it. I just love when the Ducks beat the Canucks (LA ranks pretty high on the list too), is like a momentary Christmas day.

Didn't we beat Vancouver in every single game last season? You must have been one happy camper. :) So, what is the reaction to last night's loss in Vancouver? :)

Thanks for the reports everyone! :) Very informative. :) All positives. :)

In the pre-season it's not just about scoring goals on the PP, it's the fluidity of it as well as the possession time in the zone.

Yeah. The power play sounds like it's in pretty good shape.

Vancouver actually won one game against Anaheim @ Anaheim last season. It was 2-1 Vancouver. The winning goal was scored by Linden in his first carreer penalty shot. It was also the game where Rob Niedermayer accidentaly collided with Cloutier and injured him for most of the season.
