Great (http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-duckrep31dec31,1,313814.story?coll=la-headlines-sports).

Goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere: Probable-to-questionable, after sitting out practice Tuesday.

Babcock on Nieds:

When a player leaves your lineup and then your team doesn't do well, you love the guy who left so much," Babcock said. "The important thing when he comes back is, he has to be himself. Let's not get too carried away here, you do this as a team. He's an important part of the team, but it's one forward."

So who sits? Johnson?

If Ward's really fine then we don't need a defensive call up. This article didn't mention him at all.

Hopefully the guys don't relax thinking they've got Neids to do the work for them. They need to just keep playing the way they did against Tampa. Forget about Neidermayer.

BTW, I won't be watching the game at Disney Ice...I have a New Year's Eve dinner to go to with my in-laws. But I'll listen to the game on the way from Disney Ice back to LA.

I guess Soya's "he got married" still applies, then.

Ducks 1-0
Andy Mac Goal-Rucchin-Niedermeyer Assist
his first game back and he get's a point... :handclap:

Fedorov had a lot of chances but he backs up looking for a pass.. you t hink BM told him to pass more?? lol
Sauer and Vish played together.. Good D so far..
Gerber is solid so far...

i want him to shoot more dammit

I hope you're kidding.. Feds is playing well also. That Fedorov, Prospal, Johnson line with Salei and Vishnevski was putting on a clinic out there.

Son of a biatch.. Brind'amour scores, 1-1.

Edit: the hope you're kidding part was the first post referring to Fedorov as lazy.

i wrote it when he barely missed the goal.. it looked like slow motion, but then they replayed it and that's why i changed what i wrote...

Crap call on Carney. If he wasn't tripped in the first place he might not have froze the puck.

Salei with a goal that made it look like he was playing POOL!!!!

Hahaha.. poetic justice. Beautiful goal by Salei.

So Rusty thinks he Ozo now. I guess we don't need to face Brodeur between the pipes to get a dump-in goal.

kinda sad to see our pp team working hard getting some good shots and not get the goal.. :(

It was either Pahlsson or Salei who scored one like that a year or so ago at the Pond I think.

well if it's either or, it's only fitting because Salei got the Goal and Phallson got the assist.. :yo:

I don't remember who it was.. but it was someone who didn't score a lot of points.

Hey I heard the Andy Mac goal. Now it's 2-1. Cool.

Is it just me or has this team been doing everything it needs to tonight so far? Going to the net and throwing shots on... that will get you goals.

You're still thinking about the hanging chads?

Don't worry, I lost 2/3 so far today in that thing. Oregon lost, and Wisconsin lost. Thank God Utah won, or I would have really screwed the pooch.

Did the annoucers just say that the Canes were tilting the ice towards Gerber? I thought at last count we were doubling their shots.

Ward just the record for most turnovers on one shift.

Canes get a bench-minor. I hope we can score on this powerplay.

Are these guys the biggest homers in the league or what?

Some of these commentators are just bad. I don't see why people complain (Kings fans specifically) so much about Hayward and Ahlers being biased. They're right down the middle compared to some of these guys.

The guys on Ducks radio are very down the middle. I haven't heard too many Duck-biased comments, other than it's "good news" that the Ducks are on the powerplay now. Compared to some commentators(Pepsi Center guy, I'm looking at you), they're not one bit biased.

Also, we're up 5-on-3 for a while. Some Cane(Ward, I think) tripped up Fedorov, and ironically hurt himself.

Way to get Cole back for the knee.

I guess they're realizing how good Gerbs is.

Am I the only one still here with the center ice feed?

Vish has played awesome.. Cole keeps on trying that inside out move on Vish and Vish keeps on blasting him into the boards.

Most likely. Soya is the only other one I've seen likely in this thread, so maybe he does too. I'm stuck with the radio, myself.

2 minutes with an empty net and we didn't score.. it's ok though because if the other team pulls their goalie and it remains 0-0 I'm happy.

Bobby Ryan Getzlaf
12-31-2003, 06:02 PM
Well, even though we once again failed to get an empty-net goal, great effort by the Ducks. Second two-goal win in as many games. Great Job.

Great to see Nieds back. Hopefully Leclerc gets back soon enough as well. As for Ozo, who cares? We don't need Ozo, we got Raaaaahsty!

Trnka scored that one at the Pond.

I don't know about that. They couldn't stop talking about the great games McDonald, Salei, and Carney played.
