WWWWWH? Trivia Question: Name the two trades under Burke that netted the Ducks second round draft choices.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Wild are coming off an impressive 4-1 victory over the Ducks and look to continue to starve off elimination with a victory in Anaheim. Meanwhile, the Ducks are looking for the 2nd time to eliminate the Ducks and advance to the semi-finals. Some physicality and fisticuffs may carry over to this game and Brad May was actually suspended for three games for participating in the last game's "activities". Which team will get its way? We will find out (tomorrow) night? :) :yo:

Ducks try to re-group to finish off Wild (Written by Associated Press Person)
Ducks centre Ryan Getzlaf[/URL] wasn't really surprised the Minnesota Wild finally won a game in their opening-round playoff series.

''We never expected to shut them down the whole series. They're a good club,'' Getzlaf said Wednesday following a brisk practice.

Looking back on the loss, Getzlaf said, ''We scored the first goal and felt comfortable, maybe too comfortable.''

Anaheim Ducks Recall Eight (Written by Hockeyfights.com dude or duddete)
The Anaheim ducks announced today that the National Hockey League (NHL) club has recalled centers Tim Brent, Ryan Carter (http://www.hockeyfights.com/players/2159) and Petteri Wirtanen, right wingers Mike Hoffman and Bobby Ryan, defensemen Brian Salcido and Clay Wilson and goaltender Gerald Coleman from the Portland Pirates[URL="http://www.hockeyfights.com/teams/2017"] (http://www.hockeyfights.com/players/2481), Anaheim’s primary development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).

So, in addition to the recalled players mentioned in the last GDT, Bobby Ryan and Clay Wilson have been called up as well! :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that is all for me all! Have a good one and a good day! Too too! :)

Time for the Selanne-Kunitz-McDonald unit to step up. They've been negated since game 1.

Nice GDT. Is recalling that many players a lot?

The Ducks need to keep their head intact. The Wild are coming into this game with some confidence. We need to stay patient, kill them with our forecheck and hold the blueline. We can't afford to trade chances with a team like the Wild.

Except for Sammi, everyone needs to step up their game Thurs. The Ducks know what's at stake. Lose this game and we're heading back to Minnesota.

Trivia: Vish's trade and Carney's trade.

Initially, I was thinking Prospal, but recalled he was traded before Burkie came to the Ducks.

I hope the Ducks come out gunning, instead of being comfortable. Go Ducks!

Nice GDT. Is recalling that many players a lot?

fairly normal for an NHL playoff team to call up 8-10 of their AHLers after their season is completed.

Giguere's turn to be the man.

Beauchemin should be back.

Ducks with the last change at home will have the Pahlsson line shutting down Gaborik.

No reason why the Ducks can't finish this tonight.

BING DING BING DING!!! :) :handclap: :) VERY good Hockey Duckie! :)

For your prize, you get a...

http://www.edys.com/brand/grand/images/134_1_carton-rr.jpgJAR OF DELICIOUS EDY'S GRAND ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM!!! :handclap: :) (MMM GOOD!)

What about Bobby Ryan going off to do conditioning?

What about Bobby Ryan going off to do conditioning?

Well, I guess he will condition with the team now. :dunno: I heard from WildCat that Dineen as well as the Ducks coaching staff will be there to help out all of the call-ups. (THANKS WC)! :) :)

First line needs to score. I have been satisfied with Selanne but not McDonald and Kunitz.

If Boogard is in the lineup Parros better be, I've seen enough of The Boogkneeman.

Is it certain Giguere plays? Bryzgalov did nothing to lose the job..

finally 1st ducks PO game I will see, 4th this year..

this one could be really good one, at least I hope and I hope we will

let's go ducks :handclap:

''We scored the first goal and felt comfortable, maybe too comfortable.''

And it's only about the 40th time that's happened this season. The motto going forward needs to be that one goal ain't enough.

I am on my way out to the airport to go down to SoCal to visit some friends and family for a few days, so I will be watching the game down in the US today.

Go Ducks!

Well if you are going to be here there is no way the Ducks can lose now!

Pinkish? I bet the Honda Center people would say "it's salmon" or "it's adobe," not pink. Just like how our old team colors were "eggplant" and "jade."

With Frankie and the change, I like our chances today. Hopefully they can close it out. Otherwise I wonder if we'll have to do it in game 7.

Eggplant? Eggplant is a color?





















Alright, I'm stumped. What the hell color are eggplants, anyway? :huh:

May is supended for 3 games
Beach is back in the lineup
and I believe it said that Johnsson is still in Minnesota

oh yeah, and i'll have to miss some of it again because of a meeting with india.. *sigh*

hopefully this isn't a bad sign since we lost last time i was in a meeting with india... eeeek

hopefully they win and i wont need to start a gdt ;)

Any chance Bobby Ryan will play? I dont see the problem playing him 4th line minutes. :dunno:



:ducks

Alright, I'm stumped. What the hell color are eggplants, anyway? :huh:

Eggplant.

Eggplant? Eggplant is a color?
Alright, I'm stumped. What the hell color are eggplants, anyway? :huh:
like a purple nurple

:ducks

Boogaard would knee the crap out of the Ducks' fresh young rookie.

What the hell color are eggplants, anyway? :huh:

Eggplants are eggplant colored. Duh.

Or of you don't know that think the old Ducks away jersey. Duh.

It's purple. Like most guys I'm a lumper for colors. The Honda Center is pink, eggplants are purple, whatever else fancy color you come up with is just the basic color.

Go :ducks! Finish off the Wild tonight!

First line needs to score. I have been satisfied with Selanne but not McDonald and Kunitz.

If Boogard is in the lineup Parros better be, I've seen enough of The Boogkneeman.

Is it certain Giguere plays? Bryzgalov did nothing to lose the job..I'm just the opposite. I think McDonald has been decent, he's been dangerous, and he got the nice tip in off Pronger for the goal. Kunitz has taken some stupid penalties, but he's doing his job being physical, and almost tucked that breakaway if it wasn't for the post. Selanne seems to be just floating on the perimeter. I want to see him drive that puck into the slot, instead of his usual circle behind the net and turn it over crap.

Selanne seems to be just floating on the perimeter. I want to see him drive that puck into the slot, instead of his usual circle behind the net and turn it over crap.

lol. To be fair, they are trying to get into Backstrom's head and create angles at which shots are unpredictable and easy to get a rebound chance off of. Maybe circling behind the net isn't the BEST way to do this, but Selanne is usually looking to draw off the D, pass it up to the point so someone can shoot and another can deflect it in. At least that's the way I read the situation. Selanne shooting the puck isn't a bad thing, but it wouldn't work the same on Backstrom as it would on most goalies.

May is supended for 3 games
Beach is back in the lineup

Where did you hear that Beauch is back in the lineup? I thought it was going to be a game time decision. I know he was skating, but have they already announced that he will be back in the lineup already?

we won't know 100% for sure until the lineups/pairings are released shortly before game time.

WWWWWH? Trivia Question: Name the two trades under Burke that netted the Ducks second round draft choices.

How about the harder, converse question. Name the trades/moves under Burke that LOST us second round draft choices? Oh wait I wouldn't want to clog up the boards.

LA Times when i read the paper this morning

Game is on both Yahoo and Comcast for non socal-ers/ non center icers.

Ok. Parros needs to be dressed and answer to Boogaard for May's actions. I'd like to see it happen on the puck drop and then we can get back to hockey.

Game is on both Yahoo and Comcast for non socal-ers/ non center icers.

That's great that it's on Yahoo. That was the first thing I checked this morning... I'll be in class during the game but Yahoo saves the day again!

And now I am in SoCal. Its weird I get to watch the Ducks on American cable....

Don't go back to Canada telling everyone how much a homer Hayward is :sarcasm:

Beware of the BOOGIEMAN.:fight:

Boogaard would knee the crap out of the Ducks' fresh young rookie.

Boogaard doesn't knee people, or even attempt to. He goes for a nice clean check and just misses. He's the cleanest, smartest, most gifted big man since Mario Lemieux.:dunce:

no Boogard doesn't knee people, people just hit his knee
don't know if that makes sense...???

Yahoo news shows that Jiggy might get the nod in this game..
interesting... i would think that Bryz would still get the go ahead

Don't go back to Canada telling everyone how much a homer Hayward is :sarcasm:

Don't worry, we Canadians have been watching Hayward for the last two games. Mostly everyone I know thought his comment on how Boogaard's gonna go out and knee someone else was hilarious.

Boogard doesn't knee people, people knee people.

Any of you guys run into May let him know not to retire so the Boogieman can do it for him next year.Sucker punch bum.

So this is out of topic, but the weather down here is really nice I think compared to Vancouver.

The weather down here is beautiful. One of the best spots in the entire world! :)

We do need more rain though. It hasn't rained in FOREVER!

People don't knee people, knees knee people.

Okay. I'll let him know to keep pickin his nose...cuz a big booger is coming.

Awww you had to respond to the troll

It was amusing watching everyone ignore him

I wish I could watch what's going on at the pre-game skate. Apparently, Parros went after Boogaard.

The Wild are in the Ducks heads :handclap: :handclap:



Edit: Selanne just took a puck to the face in warmups (not from a wild player)

as a duck fan said about Johnsson getting hurt, maybe Karma is starting to show-up on the anaheim side of the rink

Oh no!! Teemu got hit in the forehead. Maybe by a puck. :(

I don't agree, I've seen Selanne winning battles on the boards and setting up chances for McDonald but nobody setting up Selanne.


as a duck fan said about Johnsson getting hurt, maybe Karma is starting to show-up on the anaheim side of the rink
No that would be when someone knees Boogard and he can see how good it feels to receive a knee on knee hit.

We shouldn't have let the Wild win a game if we had known that they were going to spam on our boards like they already won the series.

Hayward saying Drew Miller might make his NHL debut tonight.

Seriously, is Teemu ok?

Speak to me people

I wish I could watch what's going on at the pre-game skate. Apparently, Parros went after Boogaard.

My friend who works for The Fourth Period told me a couple punches were thrown during the fight. Both teams jumped in and stopped the fight.

Everyone was getting into a scrum...before the game even started. Parros and Boogaard.

this game might get crazy

Selanne looks OK...phff.

Everyone was getting into a scrum...before the game even started. Parros and Boogaard.

Bettman is at the game too. Lol. Good time to do that guys.

Bettman is at the game too. Lol. Good time to do that guys.

He might learn a thing or two about hockey.

Selanne looks OK...phff.

That doesnt sound good

Is he going to play?

How did he get hit in the face?

He might learn a thing or two about hockey.

If he hasn't learned it by now I doubt it's getting into his little mind now.

Giguere's in.

lets go Giggy.

What are the odds of a fight in the game? Not necessarily a fight as a direct result of the last game, but increased hitting and THAT leading to a fight?

Parros is in.

big gash across Selanne's eyebrow.

what channel is the game on??? i cant find it!

edit: nevermind...on fsn as usual.

Frankie is in along with Teemu.

Man comcast broadcast is so much better than yahoo. Too bad they decided to show almost exclusively east coast games for the last half of the season.

I kind of feel sorry for Parros. He might be forced to fight Boogaard at some point, and that's a tough assignment. That's some length and power.

It's sad, but with Johnsson gone and with Frankie in, we have a huge advantage there. I'd much prefer to beat a team full strength.

2 great shifts by the Ducks to start the game.

Pronger!!!

1-0

keep it up!

Ha, Hayward says Skoula is going to take up the bulk of Johnsson's minutes? Yikes.

And dammit they didn't show the goal cuz they were x-moing. Lame.

Damnit! Ducks score as the commentators were covering the reviews of the past two scoring chances! Pronger off of the faceoff and launches into the net. DUcks 1-0.

Beauchemin is in...not feeling that well but still better than Rome.

Perry pulls a bit of a Boogaard.

Wild powerplay.

Nice knee cheapshot Perry.

Good PK. Robbie and Sami almost had a shortie!

Man comcast broadcast is so much better than yahoo. Too bad they decided to show almost exclusively east coast games for the last half of the season.


Can someone link the comcast one? Seems like the Yahoo broadcast is blacked out at Cal State Northridge :cry: :help:

Ducks are dominating.

Backstrom trying to keep his team in the game.

Ohhhhhhhhhh! Perry with so many chances, but Backstrom is there to prevent it. Backstrom is already in super save mode.

Can someone link the comcast one? Seems like the Yahoo broadcast is blacked out at Cal State Northridge :cry: :help:
http://www.comcast.net/sports/nhl/hockeylive/

Drew Miller is making his NHL debut.

Thornton is out.

Perry is jinxed, he is always so close to scoring but never puts the biscuit in the basket.

http://www.comcast.net/sports/nhl/hockeylive/

Thanks, but it looks like that's blacked out here too :cry: Oh well, guess I'll just be hitting refresh every 10 sec on the boards.

Drew Miller is making his NHL debut.

Thornton is out.
Do you think that's Carlyle trying to teach him a lesson about the 3rd man in when Hall wasn't a fighter?

Will the first line ever look inspired???

Thanks, but it looks like that's blacked out here too :cry: Oh well, guess I'll just be hitting refresh every 10 sec on the boards.
Wait yahoo is blacked out? During the year yeah comcast IS blacked out, but yahoo never was.

PP coming up for the Ducks.

A PP opportunity for the Ducks!

Do you think that's Carlyle trying to teach him a lesson about the 3rd man in when Hall wasn't a fighter?

I don't know I think he just wanted Parros in to cancel out Boogaard...and then he wanted a defensive forward who can play left wing to take May's spot so he went with Miller.

Wait yahoo is blacked out? During the year yeah comcast IS blacked out, but yahoo never was.

Yeah, note to self: Next college I go to will be in a different area where Ducks aren't considered the home team :rant:

Guess they are blocking only playoff games?

Backstrom is the only reason this game isn't 3-0 or 4-0.

You should try soapcast, that's how I watch Ducks games in Vancouver.

I wish they would score more goals :(

Come on ducks!

it's just all Ducks right now...

Perry putting on a little stickhandling/boardwork clinic, but can't quite get the goal.

Now that's the Ducks team i remember seeing, and not the Game 4 variety. Lots of forechecking, lots of skating, and lots of SOG!

game starting to settle in after 10 minutes of Ducks domination.

unfortunately Ducks only get the one goal.

Rob Niedermayer with a good rebound chance, but then realizes he's Rob Niedermayer and shoots it straight into Backstrom.

Foster and Skoula are just getting pounded. On more than just this shift too.

Man... Skoula seems to be trying to be part of a permanent fixture to boards at the Honda Center.

Yeah Boogaard's been going after Niedermayer on all his shifts. Moen comes in with a little love tap and gets penalized.

Boogaard is in this game to attempt to injure Scott Niedermayer. No question about that.

Moen did what he had to do there.

kill the penalty for Travis!!

Wow... Refs see Moen, but don't see the late hit on Moen right in front of him?! Gee... How'd ya miss that one? Eh?

1-0 Ducks after 1.

good news is the Ducks are winning.

Bad news is Backstrom has given his team a chance, because it should be at least 3-0.

Good period, although I'm a little worried about how we are only leading by 1 despite pretty much controlling the whole period. I can recall a few instances like this during the year, most of them ending badly.

Hopefully they keep it up.

obobo23, thanks for noting the comcast feed, it is way better. speaking of skoula, one of my favorite play of his was his quality shorthanded D on geztlaf ;)

What's the over/under on the height of the box Nubla's standing on to interview the players? She looks like she's 6' to Perry's 6'2 or so there.

Snoop is in the house!!

Snoop Dogg!! Yabba dabba dizzle fo shizzle!

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever watched on a Ducks telecast in history, and I've seen the Tinkerbell after a goal years.

We need a Snoop D-O-Double-Dizzle avatizzle fo' shizzle.

This is Anaheim Ducks Hockey... Please don't change the dizzle my nizzle fo' shizzle.

Celebrities already jumping on the bandwagon.

ok who is going to make a Snoop Dog avatar in his Ducks jersey??

We need a Snoop D-O-Double-Dizzle avatizzle fo' shizzle.

This is Anaheim Ducks Hockey... Please don't change the dizzle my nizzle fo' shizzle.

I actually think thats what hockey needs more of, celebrities who love hockey with an edge. The way he talks hockey, it grabs people attention in his short part. I think hockey as a whole, needs more of that. i've enjoyed it.

did athers just say "one fazzile" ??

Wow... did the DUcks have more SOG on the PK than the Wild?

We need a Snoop D-O-Double-Dizzle avatizzle fo' shizzle.

This is Anaheim Ducks Hockey... Please don't change the dizzle my nizzle fo' shizzle.

Damn. I missed it.

Ducks to the powerplay.

Veilleux to the box.

Off the hizzle.

Having Pronger and Nieds on the same team shouldn't be allowed, lol.

No pizzle play gizzle my nizzle.

double minor on Scotty.

high sticking.

Huskins with a headsy play by skating from one end to the other and waited on Selanne for a good shot on goal.

so anybody know anything about this A.Miller playing on shannons line? or is this a yahoo typo for Drew miller

Here's hoping the Ducks can kill off the double minor.

so anybody know anything about this A.Miller?

apparently he was the best defensive forward for Portland.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O'Donnell put the puck over the glass for a penalty. 5-3.

great...O'Donnell shoots the puck over the glass.

full 2 minute 5 on 3 for Minnesota.

JS better be get his superman suit out! and Glad that Beauch is in the game!

This could be a turning point in the game.

Gaborik taking shots at a player with a bad jaw. Real brave move.

***?! Gaborik is a punk! I would love to see Beauch just take him!

What were the people chanting?

What were the people chanting?

I think it was "Refs you suck!"

5-3 done with! Great PK!

1 more second and then Scotty comes back from the ice bin!

Pronger is awesome, he is worth every million.

should be 2-0

ref blows that one.

The king (even injured) would have beat in ugly Gaborik's head. Huge pk:handclap: lets go ducks!!!:)

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is that not a goal? I gotta see a replay of that. ::: I know, I know the whistle blew, but I wanna see it still :::

I think it was "Refs you suck!"
I would like to think they were chanting "gaborik sucks"


now i muster up the motivation to stop watching the game to play in my own. i wish there was a way to do both

Ducks 1
Whistle 1
Wild 0

Ugh, cursed class! Sounds like I'm missing a good game... why couldn't I have missed the last one? :cry:

I think it was "Refs you suck!"

can't really get mad at the refs for those 2 penalties.

high stick with blood has to be called.

the puck over the glass is a dumb rule but the refs have no choice but to call it.

Ugh, cursed class! Sounds like I'm missing a good game... why couldn't I have missed the last one? :cry:

Sopcast my friend, sopcast.

http://hfboards.com/imagehosting/2697446283b5d9fa5b.jpg

Holy.... whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was a very, very quick whistle. And how do you call that when Backstrom is flailing?

Backstrom's skill to always fall on his back has saved the Wild countless of times.

lol...thats pretty good obobo23

Sopcast my friend, sopcast.

Oh yeah, forgot that I was downloading that! Thanks for reminding me!

Edit, now need to find the channel the game is on.

Yeah it's Ryan Getzdogg.

You can't call two penalties on an ongoing play???? Andy got hooked too!

Boogaard to the box.

4 minute powerplay for the Ducks.

Huskins bloodied by a high stick.

Ha, how many double minors can there be in one game?

Yay for blood!

Ducks give up a shortie. Sad.

1-1

wow...

Well that's where speed kills. Walz and Gaborik. Pronger didn't quite cover the pass there.

Nervous time here.

Yeah it's Ryan Getzdogg.

My girlfriend has the hots for him. I tease her by calling him gets-me-off. Damn 1-1

The Wild have no business even being in this game.

Ducks need to show some urgency here, this series can't head back to Minnesota.

Oh yeah, forgot that I was downloading that! Thanks for reminding me!

Edit, now need to find the channel the game is on.

Sopcast channel is here: http://www.myp2p.eu/NHL.htm , but you need to watch it using VLC player.

After you dled VLC player follow this tutorial http://myp2p.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12027

Gee you'd think Backstrom's just learning to snowboard, he's on his butt so much.

Wow! Refs are simply putting the whistles away and not giving the DUcks any 5-3! BS!

What did I say about Backstrom and his ass...

1-1

wow...

OH NO :(

there it is.

Getzlaf

2-1

Ducks deserved that.

Goal... but i'm not happy yet. Should be 2 - 0. Actually 2 - 0 with the double minor and a 5 - 3!

Was that Getzdogg with the PP rebound? Getz-dogg, doggie dawg!

Justice.

Is Perry ever going to score a goal? Geez. How many times can you beat a goalie and not score?

Perry hits the crossbar.

unbelievable...this game could easily be 6-1.

Ducks will have to settle for a 2-1 lead going into the third.

Wild are lucky and the refs are giving them sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much leeway on supposed "suspended pucks" and where are the extra penalties on the PP when Andy gets hooked and Selanne draws blood on a high stick?! Took a goal away and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Other lines are doing their job perfectly but where is our first line. I have not seen Kunitz since game 2 and Selanne-macdonald duo gets so many chanches bu zero productivity. Come on 1st line. Time to end this series.

Jeez look at the shot advantage. Besides that Wild 4 minute powerplay the Ducks have pretty much controlled the game.

2nd intermission Gary Bettman interview...I like the Snoop interview better.

If only Bettman would bust out a huge foam finger...

If only Bettman would bust out a huge foam finger...
That and say fo shizzle my nizzle

Well that guy's a lot less hot than Nubla.

That and say fo shizzle my nizzle

Yes!

I think we have our new playoff motto.

Arghhh.. I was too busy listening to the Ducks game that I forgot Grey's Anatomy was starting. Now I'm trying to multitask with the tv and the radio on while being on HF Boards. :O

Snoop is in the house!!

Was he wearing Ducks gear, at least? If so, I want a pic of that.

Yes!

I think we have our new playoff motto.
Nah, our new playoff motto should be give us your lunch money, mah nizzle.

Was he wearing Ducks gear, at least? If so, I want a pic of that.

yes Ducks home jersey and an orange foam finger thing.

Was he wearing Ducks gear, at least? If so, I want a pic of that.

Is he smoking eggplants?

Nah, our new playoff motto should be give us your lunch money, mah nizzle.

That sounds pretty perfect to my eyes.

Is he smoking eggplants?
Rolling down the street, smokin' eggplant, sippin on jade and juice.

Boogaard speared Selanne off the faceoff...no call...I think Selanne tried to sell that one.

Am I the only one worried about Perry's longitivity as being a human Gumby? Like I guess it could be better to take hits that way than stiff, but he does seem to get nailed a lot.

We have to step it up and not play the laid back style we usually do in the third.

3-1 Ducks. Yay!

3-1

Perry

Getzlaf's had some good breakout passes. That pass just now to Perry, the one that led to Penner's goal.

GOAL! About freakign time Perry.

Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3-1 the PPG. Perry uses Backstrom's goalie stick! Does that mean it's a Penner goal?

I should come down to Cali more often. You guys are welcome :P.

love to see Penner rewarded with an assist for driving the puck to the net.

and Perry has been great this series and he gets rewarded with his first playoff goal!

Giggy's kinda just sucking up those rebounds isn't he. Looks worlds better than last game.

Isn't Pahlsson ON the scoresheet with an assist to Pronger's goal?

So why exactly is Boogaard playing this late in the game? What are you doing Lemaire?

All of a sudden this game is really boring.

Moen empty net.

4-1

going to the 2nd round.

Gone are the Wild and the checking line gets rewarded with an EN.

Nice clear by Pahlsson. There's just nothing God can't do. Except score goals.

Moen seals it up.

GJ Ducks!!! :clap:

Can't wait for round 2! :yo:

WOOHOO! YEAH!

What a hard fought game. Happy to see the Ducks come out victorious.

Hurrah! I'm glad that we don't have to go back to Minnesota, because that would've been a huge momentum swing.

Now guys, rest up and notch up another four.

Woot round 2. I have to say the Wild (mostly Backstrom) did an amazing job keeping it close. It seems like we just dominated play so much, and yet can only win by 1 or 2 goals, except for today with Snoop Dogg in the house.

Coincidence? You be the judge.

Ducks win!

Let's talk about it.

So... Would we rather play the Flames or the Red Wings in the next round?

Congrats to Anaheim. You guys were clearly the better team. Good luck the rest of the way.

LOL
was Nubla trying to hit on Selanne?

WOOHOO! GO DUCKS!!!!!! Great WIN AND GREAT SERIES! :yo: :yo:.

Nice job team! :)

So... Would we rather play the Flames or the Red Wings in the next round?

Well, there's no possible way we could play the Wings in the next round. Teams get re-seeded after the 1st round. It's either SJ, Nashville, Vancouver or Calgary.

Was he wearing Ducks gear, at least? If so, I want a pic of that.
I can do you one better. From the main board:

hell yeah, 2nd round :yo:

wild commentators were annoying

gaborik is little ... if refs would let king beauchemin go after him he would kill him

So... Would we rather play the Flames or the Red Wings in the next round?

There's no way we would be playin the Red Wings in the next round. My favorite team to play against would be the Stars. Unfortunately we won't be playing them either. Out of the 4 possible teams we could play against (Sharks, Predators, Flames, and Canucks), I'd probably take the Predators since I think they would have the weakest overall goaltending out of the 4.

Apparantly, Boogaard didn't even participate in the hand shaking event after the game. :rolly:

When can we expect Jiggy to have his name in NHL's stats (http://www.nhl.com/nhlstats/app?service=direct&page=Home&component=completeGAALeaderList) page?

where did you here that?
And where is Stalbert during this series?

Because he can't shake hands with his knees.

I didn't see Boogard either, wouldn't surprise me if he didn't, he probably would've tried to sock Beauchemin in the face.

Giguere looked good tonight his rebound control was about as good as it gets, he didn't face many great chances but he didn't give them any either.

Getzlaf..this guy is good, he scored two huge goals for us in this series. Penner looked 100 times better tonight indicating he was healthy, he sacrificed himself to make a play on the Perry goal, he was fantastic. Perry is a tough SOB he gets nailed every night but continues to play in the dirty areas.

Beauchemin makes a huge difference for us Pronger and Niedermayer are great but he is almost as important to the team, very very gutty effort from him.

Pronger was fantastic, he was great on that 2 minute five on three. Made a great decision on the 3rd goal and was excellent defensively, our best player in the series IMO.

Niedermayer was good once again, this entire series he was outstanding defensively.

Our checking line remains to be our most consistant line, Pahlsson in particular was awesome in this series.

now we have atleast 6 days off this will allow us to recharge the batteries and based on last years experiance they will handle all the days off better.

Yeah I was watching for Boogaard to shake with Parros, with the pregame shenanigans I thought that would have been an interesting event. I didn't see him, but as far as I know they just didn't bother showing him.

DTP just said on ALLDUCKS that he went right to the lockeroom. Even a Wild fan confirmed it in this thread.

I am not really bothered by it. Just pointing it out.

Well I can understand why he might be pissed and not want to shake hands, but that's pretty poor sportsmanship. It's a tradition, and bigger than one series.

Yeah, if that's true - pretty lame of him.

theres a good picture of Snoop Dog at the game on latimes.com if someone wants to turn it into an avatar.

well, now boogard has something in common with chris chelios.... failing to shake the ducks' hands. :handclap:

Also, was billy mac high in the post game show? It seems like he spent a little time with snoop. He was all jittery and stuff...

where did you here that?
And where is Stalbert during this series?
He didn't. I was at the game and I watched him leave. I didn't see the coaches shake each other's hands either. Did anyone else notice the Wild players were talking to the refs or the linesmen after every single whistle?

Perhaps next season's games against the Wild will be a little livelier.

The warmup scrum was super entertaining, though. 50 guys pushing and shoving, not a zebra to be found.

Good game! :handclap:

Goalies were great, especially Bäckström! Damn he looked calm there. I thought it's going to be very physical game because what was going in the warm up but I guess the refs calmed the teams down.

FSN North: Commentators were so biased for Wild. It was funny to listen them whining.

Go Ducks! :yo:

Oh and here a blogger at hockeybuzz(SC on AD) found out what led to the pregame scrum

And guys have skipped it before. Guys have been told to skip it before. We don't know what happened here, but maybe Boogaard didn't think he could control himself in the line. If that's the case, it's probably a good thing he didn't shake hands. I'd rather hear people be upset about him skipping the line than be upset about him decking someone in the line.

Not only that, but Teemu Selanne did it last year after the Edmonton series. Were you whining about tradition then?

Congrats to the Ducks. I won't be rooting for them, but like I said before this series, they're built for a long playoff run. They've done nothing to make me think otherwise, though I still think they need to be a little better 5 on 5 (they were outscored 5 on 5 in this series, but the sample size is too small to cause me too much concern).

Good game! :handclap:

agree those commentators were annoying..that should be charging, clear charging (clean hit), that was clear tripping, that should be penalty for diving..

and what really pissed me was when boogaard behind jiggy had some scrap - 2nd with scotty and moen come and hit him
- commentators:that wasnt neccesary, that should remain between boogaard and scotty all the way..

dzeez that was one of the most stupid comments I've heard, yeah boogaard would run scotty(1 of best Dmans, our captain) whole game and nobody would do nothing?
and than what?injure him?
stupid commentators

Congrats to the Ducks. They controlled the tempo and thus the series.

i heard on the radio that apparently snoop's son loves the Ducks

Boogaard was quoted as saying that he wanted to be in the handshake line but "they" (whomever they are) asked that he didn't. Booger Face has been on the Ducks s**tlist ever since he broke Fridge's cheek. Most enforcers know how to control themselves during a fight so as not to seriously injure their opponents. He doesn't know how or he doesn't exercise it.

FYI, The Wild coaches didn't shake hands with the Ducks coaches either.

eh, who cares?


By the way, I forgot to mention it earlier. The best part of the game was when the puck was going up in the air (going out of play i think) next to the Wild bench and Pronger waives at it and bats it down and hits Boogard in the head with it. That was hilarious. His reaction was great. :biglaugh:

If what Pronger did was intentional ( i hope not) Boogaard has every right to be pissed off. Pretty cheap IMO.

The best part to me about the game was seeing how Pahlsson, time and time again, playing great defense and being physical.

Pahlsson Line: 7 points (4 points at even strength), +4
Gaborik+Demitra: 8 points (5 points at even strength), +2
