Feature Article of the Day

"Injuries Have Not Been a Problem", LATIMES
http://www.latimes.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ducks/la-sp-duckrep30sep30,1,1651340.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-nhl-ducks&ctrack=1&cset=true
(To read the rest of the article, click the link). :)

Veteran forward Travis Green has been the only player to miss an extended period of time with a hip problem, but he skated through a full practice Friday and may suit up tonight.

Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle was impressed with his team's fitness at the beginning of camp and said there is more than good fortune behind their ability to stay healthy.

"It speaks to the organization's mandate to our playing personnel that conditioning is going to be a huge asset in them moving forward as a professional," Carlyle said. "We're going to spend the time and effort in making sure they're educated in that area."

Marchant said their conditioning is especially needed to maintain their aggressive forechecking style over a long season.

"We're always doing a little extra here and there, whether it's on the ice or off," he said. "Hopefully it will pay off down the road when we're going to need it."

Update from Back East

Pirates fall to Lowell 6-4 in their first pre-season game. Goals from Southern, Erickson (2), and Hynes.

LETS GO DUCKS!!!! :) :yo: :yo:

DFC...you have entirely too much free time on your hands. ;)

Nice GDT!

Coyotes seem to be playing a good line up, wit no Laraque though. This should be a good game.

Nice GDT.

one hour to game time...Go Ducks!

Is it just me, or does that arena look like a mall?

It's a beautiful areana! It's much better than the ducks areana.

Mighty 1090 online feed

Is there a net link or the radio feed?

Edit Beaten

What can I say? I just that good. ;)

Thank you, thank you for the compliments everyone. :)

And yes, I do have a lot of free time on my hand. During every Saturday, I am rejoicing not being at school and doing absolutley nothing, except fun stuff!!! :handclap: :yo: :D :banana: :propeller

BTW, no one has answered the trivia question? :D It is a toughie.

Don't get me wrong, I like it. I'm partial to the southwest colors. But it does look a lot like a mall, and a little bland. The Pond is decent looking, but it is distinctive and recognizable with the big round window.

Our top pairings are playing tonight.
Nieds - Beauchemin
Pronger - O'Donell

Thank you, thank you for the compliments everyone. :)

I'm going to guess Mike Leclerc.

Scratches: Shannon, St. Jacques, Marchant, McDonald, Selanne, and DiPenta.

Odd that they scratched Shannon and St. Jacques.

I'm going to guess Mike Leclerc.

Nope. Good guess though. :)

Scratches: Shannon, St. Jacques, McDonald, Selanne, and DiPenta.

Odd that they scratched Shannon and St. Jacques.

Shannon probably made the team. St. Jacques is out of the running so no need to give him a final game. Welcome to Anaheim Shane O'brien.

Good luck Tim Brent!

Chistov-Pahlsson-Niedermayer to start the game.

Sounds like a good line.

Naggy?

Why is the game on 1090 today? Isn't it supposed to be 830? Not that I'm complaining, it's good to have an online feed.

Brent lined with Shawn Thornton and Kunitz.

Nope. Good guess though. :)

I guess Sanderson

Penner-Getzlaf-Perry is the top line tonight.

ed: or maybe just top pp unit.

Thank you anahiem radio mighty 1090 sports for the online feed tonight. Our radio feed site is under construction online which is why we have no radio feed online.:handclap:

No to Nagy and Sanderson.

Told ya it was tough.

Duck PP. :handclap:

Yes! thanks mighty 1090 :) .

Ducks PP coming up.

Bad PP. :(

Scatchard scores off a one-timer. :doh:

Penner making me feel better for making him my sleeper pick on my fantasy team

What?
they scored...?

edit: nvm
theres a delay. phoenix scores.

PP for the Yotes.

Not a good start for the Ducks.

I wonder what Pierre Parenteau thinks with Joel Perreault possibly making the Coyotes roster.

Perry robbed on a stick save.

And a yote PP.

Ok, now 4 on 4.

Perry robbed on a stick save.

Damn you and your radio. I'm on 30 sec delay. :cry:

Damn you and your radio. I'm on 30 sec delay. :cry:

The Ducks took another penalty. 4 on 3.

And yah, I am using my portable radio, so it is a wee bit faster. :D

End of period.

1-0 Yotes.

I thought that the Ducks were outplayed that period, but not by much.

So who do you think is the No1 now?

I'll just have to remember to not refresh until 30 seconds after.... wait... damn.

Sounds like Giggy is keeping this game close. Is Travis Green planning to make this team?

I love Tillamook cheese. I would be really excited if I won that prize.

Man the mention of Carl's Jr. is making me miss the western bacon cheeseburger. Why don't they have Carl's Jr here dammit!

Green draws a penalty, thats useful

Which cheese will have a bigger game tonight for Anaheim?

Good job God.

Thornton and Gratton...great fight.

He must be delusional. Sami doesn't exist. :biglaugh:

Did he just say tverdovsky?

Yah, he must be thinking about the trade.

He whispered afterward that he meant Sapriykn.

haha, they are having orgasms about this one....

pumpernickel?

pumpernickel?

I'm still trying to figure out what Severyn meant when he said he got the "willy."

http://www.celluloidandvinyl.com/wp-content/Images/2005/DEC/free%20willy.png

little ball of hate. haha

Haha... they have some interesting new sayings this year. Little ball of hate.

Pahlsson's gotta save those for the season. :D

I think that happened in the Simpsons. Or South Park.

Why can't everybody be like Pahlsson.

I think that happened in the Simpsons. Or South Park.

Simpsons.

The Ducks need to fill their water bottle with Red Bull. The team is falling asleep.

I'm sure no one's heard this, but there's going to be a Honda Element given away on Friday.

Uh oh, two man advantage for over a minute for Phoenix.

Shots are 9-2 Phoenix in this period. :help:

One man short now...

Good penalty kill. :clap:

LETS GO DUCKS!

not a lot of wood right now, kinda relaxed.

Shots are 9-2 Phoenix in this period. :help:

out shot 32-17 in the game
wow...might go to OT

Ducks 2 man advantage now. Who woulda thunk it? :dunno:

Why do they keep putting R Nieds on the PP? Penner seems like the perfect choice for a big body in the crease.

I hope Brent gets a goal. It could mean the difference between staying in the NHL or going back to Portland.

Dunno, maybe because his brother is number 27!:sarcasm:

Yeah, I hope he does too. :)

Good PP. Four really good chances. Last shot hit the cross bar.

Another Duckie PP!!! :handclap: :handclap: :handclap:

Does anyone else think Ziggermanus (or however it is spelt) has the funniest name in the league

Does anyone else think Ziggermanus (or however it is spelt) has the funniest name in the league

He is having an excellent game. Best player on the ice imo.

Brent is getting a big chance from Carlyle.

OT now. Ducks will have a 4 on 3 PP for thirty-three seconds.

For great justice, take off every Zig(omanis).

Joseph is making save after save after save. Man.

How many shots does Pronger have???

How many shots does Pronger have???

I don't know. Probably around 7.

...I likey.:D

Phoenix PP. :help:

EDIT: HE DOES have 7. What a good guess. :D Just checked NHL.COM.

Ah, Pronger only has 7 shots. He needs to get more rubber on the net...:lol:

Ducks take another penalty.

49 seconds left in the period though.

Jiggy made a game saving save as well. :yo:

Man Carlyle isn't pulling any punches. It doesn't seem like Pronger's gotten off the ice.

Perrault scored.

:shakehead

Anybody got a feeling Brent is making this team with the amount of ice time he is getting from Carlyle.

dam...phoenix wins :(

We will rue the day we traded Joel Perrault.

uh oh...5-3 in OT???

wow, my radio feed is waaaay late.

ah crap two guys in the box in OT

so what is that 4 on 2?

We will rue the day we traded Joel Perrault.

I'm sure Brian Burke is having a sleepless night tonight.

That's interesting. So they make it 5 on 3 instead of 4 on 2. I think 4 on 2 would be cooler.

ah crap two guys in the box in OT

so what is that 4 on 2?

nah, 5-3. Doesnt matter, we suck in OT.

nah, 5-3. Doesnt matter, we suck in OT.

I thought it was shootout that we suck.

We will rue the day we traded Joel Perrault.
So let me get this straight. Joel Perreault scores on a power play created by a penalty taken by the guy he was traded for. Players involved in that trade are killing us from both sides!

The Ducks goal was scored by GOD from Rob Niedermayer and Todd Fedoruk.

All of them getting their first points of the pre-season.

Overall, not a good game. PP sounded good, especially in the third period. Jiggy and Pronger were the best Ducks tonight.

I'm sure Brian Burke is having a sleepless night tonight.
This means we need to sign Yanic.

I rather have Gilbert Perreault.

I can take a positive out of this game.

It sounded like Giguere was tested quite a bit and played pretty well. As good as Bryzgalov can be, a healthy Giguere is the guy we need to take us all the way..

If anyone is keeping score, Lupul scores a goal and assist tonight in a 3-2 win against the Canucks. Just saying...

I'm sure Jason Krog had a hattrick tonight too!

Thats what Im saying.

Firmly on the Giguere is the No1 bandwagon now.

I've had enough of the pre-season...time to play some meaningful games.

A couple of players have made the case to remain with the team despite their 2-way contracts (Brent, Thornton)...and a couple of players have made the case to be cut despite their 1-way contracts (Green, Moen)...Is Burke willing to make it happen?

Looks like O'Brien has made the team. St. Jacques is the only player still with the team to be scratched for both of the last two pre-season games.

And Pronger played 30 minutes with 7 shots on goal and 5 blocked shots. Lupul has been great for the Oilers but we'll take Pronger back if you don't want him anymore (you can keep his family)... :)

Thank you Mr. Burke for Joel Perrault!!!
The last 2 games against Anaheim Perrault recorded 1 goal and 3 assists (4 points).
You can keep O'donell..........

Thornton is redundant with Fedoruk on the team, he's gone IMO. Comes down to Green vs. Brent and I think the veteran wins.

in that case is Moen redundant with Fedoruk on the team?

I think Thornton is in a battle with Moen for the last forward spot (healthy scratch most nights spot). I guess Moen is a slightly better hockey player than Thornton, but Thornton is a better fighter than Moen. Moen has the 1-way contract so he will stay and Thornton will be cut.

Pretty much. How often did we see them both in the lineup when everyone was healthy?

Not very often, but it's nice to have an extra tough guy waiting to get in the lineup when we are up against our division rivals. The Kings and Coyotes will have very physical lineups this season.

Naggy?

He cut his hand(7 stiches in the palm I believe)in the fight on Thursday he is out till Opening day..

Does anyone else think Ziggermanus (or however it is spelt) has the funniest name in the league

It is and if he make steh cut (which he should at least till the guys on IR come back)... He is going to be Ziggy(what we already yell from teh stands here)

I think Carlyle will probably agree with you, leaving Moen as the frequent healthy scratch and Thornton ticketed for Portland.
