Feature Player: Bobby Ryan

http://www.attackhockey.com/playerpics/bobbyryan.jpg

During the summer, Bobby Ryan spent many hours training with his father. But in camp, he has shown little of the form he
displayed in the Ontario Hockey League. Most likely, he will have to return to his junior team, the Owen Sound Attack.

It didn't help that Ryan's first NHL game gave him butterflies.

"It could have been much better," he said of last Monday's game, which the Ducks lost, 7-1. "I was a nervous wreck."

Ducks General Manager Brian Burke isn't worried.

"When you're drafted second overall, expectations are high," he said. "Our expectations for him are high. We're very happy
with his progress.

"We're pretty crowded so it's a stretch to see him here [in October]. But we're going to give him that chance."

Ryan knows it will take a lot.

"You can't ever be satisfied and I wasn't," he said of that game. "I could have done more to make the score a little closer."

Wheee!

Luongo will play the full game for the Canucks this time. Still waiting to hear on the last two defensemen.

So, this time the Nucks are playing pretty much everyone.

LETS GO DUCKS!!! :) :yo: :yo: :yo: :yo: :clap: :handclap:

Yah, not a lot of notable regulars sitting. Only Linden, Cooke, Bieksa, Green, and Santala could probably be considered starters.

Bryz in net. :)

Shawn Thornton robbed by Luongo. No surprise, the play was set-up by Penner.

Good start.

Glencross takes a bad penalty.

Glencross takes a bad penalty.

And it leads to a goal. :pullhair:

naslund-henrik-daniel
PP goal canucks...

save by bryz :)

SHANNON SCORES!!!!!!!!1 :handclap: :handclap: :handclap:

From Penner and Moran. Penner now has a team leading 6 points, Shannon has 4, and Moran has 1. :)

gj shannon :)
penner and moran w/ assists.

Penner is awsome :D

Glencross nailed Kraijeck. :yo:

"Glencross will hit anything that moves." :)

Bulis all alone scores. :cry:

Darn you Bulis...
2-1 canucks

Bobby Ryan stoned on a good chance.

Green stopped on another good chance.

Ducks getting the chances, just can't bury them.

LETS GO DUCKS!!! :) :yo:

How was Shannon's goal?

Robbie needs to score that. No pun intended.

So is Shannon a lock to make the team?

So is Shannon a lock to make the team?

A lock, no. Id love to see him on the team based on his preseason play, but nothing is set in stone. Id say he has a good chance right now though.

Shannon again..?

Nope, Brent from Shannon.

Shannon is having an awesome preseason

The Sedin connection takes the lead on the powerplay. Damn twins.

anybody alive in this thread?

I was eating food, another penalty...
PP ducks.

Fedoruk is on the ppl, hah.

Fridge is down

Fedoruk is nailed by the puck. Looks like he may be hurt.

Getzlaf scores out of midair???

Getzlaf ties this game up.

Wow sounded like a nice goal for Getz

Getzlaf!!!!!!

Our own "twins" scoring. ;)

penalty against Ohlund

three games in three days. I wonder how much gas Getz, Perry, and Penner got left in the tank.

we get a point!!!!!!

I want to listen to a shootout though...the kids might make it exciting.

Shannon Niedermayer

Moran and Beauchemin

starting it out in OT

Brent almost scores on Luongo...luongo was looking behind him.

Brent almost squeezed one pass Luongo. He is making a case to stay.

lucky no call...

Sedins are sick though, crazy twin connection again.

1 min left in OT

ok who takes the shootout?

Luongo vs Bryz
shootout.

My guess:
Shannon Getzlaf Perry Penner and Bobby Ryan

Naslund will go first...
he shoots...
and bryz blocker save.

Ryan Shannon, scores!!!!

Shannon scores. Way to go baby!

H. Sedin, shoots
and
scores.

Shannon is making his case.

Nidermayer goes in, save luongo.
1-2 both teams

Rob Nied? Did Carlyle mistaken Rob for scott?

Daniel Sedin, will he get his third?

no

Mikkleson? Damn you Carlyle.

Morrison scores. The Ducks need one.

oh, only three shooters.
so extra shooters.

Vancouver scores.

Bobby Ryan misses...
good game.

If someone saw the shootout could they upload that Shannon shootout goal? It sounded nice

sounded like the winner was a weak goal...good game for the kids tonight though.

Depressing end. I guess Carlyle wanted to give the Canucks a win.

its preseason shootout...why not give someone a shot?

sounds like it was a fast paced game.. you guys have some fine young talent.. heard Shannon's name quite a bit.

The Sedins' improvement the past few seasons has been unreal..

its preseason shootout...why not give someone a shot?

Fans want the win.

Fans want the win.

Im ok with giving a kid a shot and losing...it was a cool thing to do for Mikkelson regardless.

I am impressed with the team tonight. The "B" team almost won against the Nucks "A" team.

:clap:

Shannon was easily the best player tonight. No question about it. :yo:

Poor Ryan, thats got to hurt his confidence a bit

Yupp, good job Shannon :clap:
I see him making the roster this year.

Can someone post the lines?

Fedoruk/Getzlaf/Perry
Glencross/Green/Thornton
Shannon/Penner/Brent
Miller/Ryan/Niedermayer

Beauchemin/Moran
O'Brien/Skinner
Mikkelson/DiPenta

(Forward positions are off, but you get the idea)

I can't wait for Oct. 6th... I'll be at the Pond! (I refuse to call it by its new name, but I did buy a Honda). I haven't been able to hear the games, just been on the forums reading and refreshing the page every couple of seconds to get updates. I hope a lot of games are televised this year.

Just as a note, I was impressed by Ian Moran today. I thought that he played well. :) Also, Bryz played a great game today. Much better effort from him than in the 7-1 blowout. :) Lastly, I seemed to hear Thornton's name and I think he played well too.

Good effort all around. :)

I might be mistaken, but I think just heard on the Canucks post game that Mikkelson was just cut. Maybe it was a nice reward gesture before sending him down.

Thanks for reporting that. :) You are probably right. :)

Congrats on the win. :)

No surprise there. He's been getting a lot of one-on-one instruction in camp though so I think the important people are expecting big things from him.

LOL - Maybe it's cheaper to leave him in Vancouver rather than flying him back to Cali. Doesn't he play for the Giants?

I hope the PPG's are not playing tomorrow.

It is interesting that Perry and Getzlaf have played in every single game so far.

...To be honest, I hope they don't rest them. :biglaugh: :p:

Main page to the right, click on Video Player (above the Poll).

From the highlights looked like OB had another great game offensively, 1 assist and one almost scored (great pad save by Luongo).

Bryz needs to work on NOT sliding into the net with the puck....

Thanks. Getzlaf's goal was nice, and Shannon's goals were nice as well. Man, the Sedins are awesome though...they are going to kill this year.

Ditto on the thanks!

Ryan Shannon on a 1x1 media player window...just the way I'm used to. ;)

I went to the game tonight and noticed Bobby Ryans skating isnt even close to where it should be at an nhl level...

Can't WAIT for October 6th. I mean when Ducks TV is the highlight of my week, you know its time . ;)

Any other impressions, specifically Shannon, Mikkelson and O'Brien??

Shannon's move was sick.

He's a projected pf isn't he ? Skating isn't that big an issue if you have the hands and size.

Shannon's move was sick.

Awesome move. More impressive was that the goalie was Roberto Luongo. 1 goal, 1 assist, and a shootout goal. I think its safe to say Ryan Shannon has earned his roster spot.

As for Ryan, no there is need to rush the kid. With the depth on this team, Ryan is going to have to win it. Hopefully, he'll keep his head high and work hard in improving his game in Owen Sound.

I was surprised to see Getz, Perry, Penner, etc play so many games in the pre-season. I wonder if its going to wear on the kids later down the season. But there is no doubt, Carlyle won't be treating the kids like prospects. This team is going to be ready to compete for the Cup on Oct. 6.

I just finished watching the highlights. This guy Shannon seems to be the real deal, I am surprised nobody really talked about him before training camp/pre-season. I really hope he is not a pre-season thing.

As Aeryn mentioned, I think Bryzgalov was overall good tonight, but he has to work on some areas if he wants the starting job (honestly, what's with sliding inside the net with the puck).

On a radom note, I wish we had the Sedins here in Anaheim, they are just awesome.

Shannon's goal in the slot was great. You don't see the backhand much anymore. Very Kariya-like.

Well, *I* was talking about Shannon before camp...just not here. ;)
And, no, I don't think he's a pre-season thing.

Side note: they really haven't been working on shootouts in camp, at least not with the frequency they would practice them last year. :dunno:

LOL - I told you it was cheaper to leave Mikkelson behind...also said the "important people" were happy...

The 19-year-old Anaheim Duck prospect suited up for his first NHL game Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks. The most likely scenario was for Mikkelson to remain in the city and rejoin his junior club today, rather than return to Anaheim.

Due to a combination of his age and a Ducks blueline that's deeper than Barry White's voice, Mikkelson was never expected to stick with the big club. Still, he's the last of eight Giant players to return from their respective pro camps.

"He'll be back with Vancouver soon -- we may be deciding tonight," said Ducks general manager Bob Murray, adding Mikkelson's play at camp has exceeded expectations for Anaheim's second round pick in the 2005 National Hockey League entry draft.

"He's done very well. I've been most impressed," continued Murray. "He's been picking up very nicely what the big guys [Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger] are doing."

What? Can anyone tell me what exists beyond HF? I thought it was just a BIG BLACK VOID in cyberspace. :dunno:

Well, real life for starters...actually vocalizing words to other people in close proximity rather than typing reponses and sending them out into the ether. ;)
