Ducks vs Flames

7:00

FSN Prime Ticket

That was quick.

1-0 Calgary

bad goal...Giguere needs to make that save.

Bert! 1-1

1-1

Bert from Getzlaf on the powerplay

is everyone watching the football game?

I watched until Calgary scored and now I'm on the football game.

Ducks are pretty much dominating, but the Flames scored on their only scoring chance.

Ducks look SO MUCH better. :)

Ref just stole a goal from the Ducks.

Puck wasn't even close to being covered and the ref blows the whistle right before Perry scores.

Parros scores!!!!!!!!!!

Ref just stole a goal from the Ducks.

Puck wasn't even close to being covered and the ref blows the whistle right before Perry scores.

Unfortunate to say the least...

AND PARROS SCORES!!! :yo:

Lame, the ref lost sight of the puck when it was lying uncovered by Kipper's skate.

Phaneuf tried to squash Perry, but Perry ducked under the hit. That's an interesting defense to being hit.

Stache scores! Now that's a coverage breakdown.

Marchant's wide open with an open net, but he doesn't have the hands to actually get a shot off on the wraparound. It seems like the Ducks should have like 3 more goals now.

Can we ban composite sticks that keep blowing up?

good period for the Ducks.

Too bad Giguere let that early goal in.

2-1 Ducks after 1.

Calgary looked awful. Too bad the Ducks couldn't capitalize more, but a good period nevertheless. At least they have the lead. It would have been 3-1 without that whistle, but them the breaks I suppose. We got a controversial goal last time we were in Calgary.

Good chance with the PP on fresh ice. :)

Aww man, I missed Parros scoring.

In other news, the Patriots just got a touchdown and after the two point conversion are up 31-28.

Ducks just have to keep hitting them. Calgary looks very apprehensive and are missing Sarich.

Ffffffffffffing Ref

Aww man, I missed Parros scoring.

In other news, the Patriots just got a touchdown and after the two point conversion are up 31-28.

Excellent work by Miller to create that goal!!:yo:

The Patriots are the second worst thing in the history of sports after Derek Boogaard, but ahead of Sean Avery.

Aww man, I missed Parros scoring.

In other news, the Patriots just got a touchdown and after the two point conversion are up 31-28.
The CBC guys couldn't believe that Parros scored. One guy just flat out said "George Parros shouldn't score a goal." It was amusing.

Someone show Marchant where the net is. I have no idea why he went for the wraparound on that hard bounce off the boards, Kipper was down, all he had to do was put on the brakes and he had a open 6x4.

Excellent work by Miller to create that goal!!:yo:

*grumble*

alright, I'll take this one this time, just to get it out of the way:

something something Brad May!
something something Ryan Carter!
something something Ryan Shannon!
something something Todd Fedoruk!
something something Garrett Burnett!
something something Tony Martensson!
something something Petr Tenkrat!
something something Kevin Sawyer!
something something Marty McInnis!

Fredrik Olausson!

Kunitz deflection.

3-1 Ducks

going to be Scotty's first goal of the season...Hale actually deflected it.

PING. Niedermayer scores on the softest point shots ever. Makes you wonder why defensemen bother with the slapshot.

I think that was off of Hale.

And it looks like NE has it in the bag.

Kiprusoff looks lost out there. I wouldn't blame him at all for the 2 goals I saw (Parros/Niedermayer), but he just looks so lost for so many non-goals.

13-1 DUcKz YAY!!

Moen comes to the aid of Marchant. Not much of a fight vs Phaneuf.

awesome, NFL.com has a live stream

i'm now watching both games
touchdown NY, 38-35 for the Pats right now,

Niedermayer, Rob has a clear breakaway off of a nice homerun pass (who passed it?). Of course he flubs it.

Ha, I had JUST turned it off.

3-2

Iginla was left wide open.

3-2

Iginla scores.

This is so retarded. The Ducks should have like 5 more goals.

This is so retarded. The Ducks should have like 5 more goals.

Yeah, pretty much. Oh well. At least the Ducks are still winning. It seems so tenuous though...

Huskins missed the pass. He could have either picked up Iginla, or blocked the pass, but did neither.

3-2.

well that's fowl

3-3 from Huselius

Scott gives the puck away?

3-3

Scotty gives the Flames a goal.

Dumbest Game Of The Season

OT, but in the Oilers GDT, they just did a total ripoff of Corey Perry. Penis envy what?

Niedermayer loses the handle, and the Flames tie it up. Bouncing puck along the boards, probably from some snow.

Are we going to regret not scoring more in the first when they dominated yet again?

god damnit if it wasn't for some lucky saves wed be in double didgets. We are just giving this game to calgary

Tie game, Flames PP now. Boo hoo.

I'm still so pissed off at the ref for blowing that whistle. Oh my God, what an idiot!

really bad goalie interference call there.

Ha, Flames announcers complaining about Giguere. "The difference of blocking shots vs making saves... Giguere's not making saves tonight." Which is true, that's why he's giving up some rebounds.

But then the other announcer goes "The difference between athleticism and skill versus positioning and size, perhaps?"

Ha.

And that goes for that goaltender interference call too.

Well, I'm happy that the game is still tied on the road, but it is kind of hollow. Especially after that lead.

20 minute game now.

I'll be royally pissed if we don't pull this out. The Flames really have no business being in this game.

Wow... what a meltdown. I hope they can pull their crap together in the third.

On the other hand, the Patriots just played an amazing game.

Carter continues to impress me out there. He'll be NHL full time next season.

Sloppy game, Calgary looks horrid for the most part and don't deserve to be tied.

Nieds got a bad break on the tying goal as the puck woudn't stop bouncing.

It was kind of a bad break, but you can't be fancy with the puck in your own zone. Even if you are S. Nieds.

Zip, zero, zilch. Not like we haven't made some mistakes, but still. Like that Niedermayer turn over. That is just bad luck, Niedermayer is probably one of the least likely players to do that in the history of hockey.

It was kind of a bad break, but you can't be fancy with the puck in your own zone. Even if you are S. Nieds.

Yep, you are correct!

It was kind of a bad break, but you can't be fancy with the puck in your own zone. Even if you are S. Nieds.

S. Nieds might disagree, you gotta look good out there :sarcasm:

I just blame the bad ice.

Huskins has been atrocious this game, time for Hnidy to get back in there. Enough with the fanciness

Wouldn't be such a bad idea to put Hnidy in for a couple games. I don't think Huskins has looked that bad, but it is a good idea to create some competition and to keep everyone noncold.

Huskins has had a bad game. I wouldn't say atrocious though. If there were a game to swap Hnidy in for though, it would be this one. Because Calgary's forecheck-driven.

Did Hrudey just waste 3 minutes talking about Huselius' small hands?
Couldn't CBC advertise a truck or something instead?

Huskins going to the box. This one isn't really his fault. Terrible rebound by Jiggy.

Another penalty on Huskins.

I wouldn't mind seeing him scratched next game.

god jiggy is horrible this game.

Ducks looking very tentative. I think we need the 4th line out next shift.

Did Hrudey just waste 3 minutes talking about Huselius' small hands?

I have some idea why Hrudy's interested in Huselius' small hands...

Huge save by Giguere there. And the best part? No rebound.

Chris Pronger "makes Huselius aware that he's on the ice" and takes a seat for 2 minutes because of it.

Sigh. Bad penalty by Pronger.

Ducks haven't had any flow this period because of the penalties.

Yikes. I really thought Weight had a goal there. He had the goalie down.

yet another penalty on the Ducks.

Seriously, can we stop with the dumb penalties? And this one was blatant, they had to call it. Bertuzzi's the most frustrating player on the Ducks. I think I dislike him about as much as I disliked Lupul (which isn't hate like Sykora, Fedorov, Kariya, Friesen, etc).

"When you have been shorthanded 32 more times then the next most penalized team, that's not a close margin"

This guy is like Frank Caliendo doing his John Madden impression.

Bert is so inconsistent - it must drive coaches crazy. Sometimes he is the best player on the ice, but mostly he is just lazy.

6th penalty in a row on the Ducks.

:shakehead

Nice transition defense to give Boyd a 1 on 0 in the end there. That was Huskins' fault to go to Tanguay when his partner was switching. Although I can't blame him too much because it was a difficult decision.

Another penalty. If we're gonna win it's probably gonna be a SHG.

can't expect a team to kill off 6 penalties in a row...

4-3 flames

Did Phaneuf hug Pronger after that?
The goal goes in, Phaneuf raises his hands, then kinda puts his arm around Pronger.

We don't deserve to lose, but we deserve some lame goal like that getting scored against us with Calgary on the powerplay that whole time. Having said that, that shot barely could have been any worse, that was a horrible miss.

Ha. That was going to go wide until it bounces off of Pronger. But who didn't see that coming?

It wasn't 6 penalties in a row, the Flames took 1 to get a 4 on 4 for a little.

Nolan brings out the old Inglewood Jack on Parros and then tries to do it to Ryan.

Nolan took some swings at Parros while Parros was kind of scuffling with someone else. He should get a 3rd man in or something there. But I doubt he will.

That's the ball game.

Tough loss.

Can't say that the Flames really deserve this one. They played about 15 decent minutes of hockey.

send out Parros.

Send a message.

This is one of those games you pretend never happened.

Ducks gave this one away. Sucks.

Kristian "Kung-fu Grip Hands" Huselius ices the game. Hrudy is disturbingly intrigued.

Good win by the flames.
Ducks are a mess thanks to RC and medicore goaltending.
No class at the end.

send out Parros.

Perry doffs them a bit with Nystrom instead.

Meanwhile, the intrepid CBC announcer talks about the historic battles between Getzlaf and Phaneuf. During the little tussle, Getzlaf and Phaneuf stood to the side, traded tips on hair gel and then made plans to meet up later for wings.

Have to play 60 minutes. Dominating 30 minutes isn't enough. The Flames just stole 2 points in a game where they were terrible for at least half of it.

Getzlaf won't be caring much about hair gel in a few years.

I'm not sure who should have won. The Ducks absolutely dominated the first period and a half. They should have scored another 3 goals or more. But then they royally sucked in the 3rd. Penalties, miscues, everything. I think Calgary deserved it in the end, just because the end was bad and because the Ducks didn't sustain.

That was awful. Stupid penalties one after another.

Hey, look at that, Perry's no-goal comes back to bite them in the ass. Lovely.

What? That we're stupid?



I was referring to Phaneuf taking a shot at Pronger for no particular reason with 30 seconds left in the game.

wow....Cassie Campbell's questions...wow...

Well. First decent team played since Niedermayer came back (SJ was struggling, Col was injured). And the first loss. Scott couldn't calm the team down when they were taking bad penalties in the 3rd. Certainly doesn't help the "old Ducks are back!" argument.

Can they bounce back and at least give a solid effort tomorrow? And not pull off just 1 win, but at least 2 in a row? Because that would mean the old Ducks are back.

Good game and very exciting one for certain. Penalty trouble in the third cost you guys Heavily. Well and JSG not controlling rebounds at all. Looking forward to our next tilt.

I'm curious how other people would rate Giguere's game. None of the goals I saw were soft (Iginla x2, Huselius... I missed the 1st one), but on the other hand Giguere was fighting the puck and gave up some bad rebounds. But none of them led to goals. Although I think at least 1 led to a penalty. The game-losing PK goal against.

I'd say poor game by Jiggy overall. He's only been soso for most of the season, I wouldn't mind him getting hot about now.

Huskins had a poor game too. Although style-wise I'd have preferred Huskins play in Vancouver and Hnidy play in Calgary.

Beauchemin got beat wide one time. Just another sign of how he's taken a small step back this year. But I think less of a step back than the stats would indicate.

He wasn't at the top of his game for sure, but it was stupid penalties that cost us the win, not weak goaltending.

Tough game for the Ducks. The Getzlaf line was very good for the first half of the game. But hardly saw the ice for the second half, d/t the penalties.

I thought we'd learned. Maybe not.

That first goal was Giguere's fault, he should have definitely stopped that. He was slow covering that side of the net and didn't even cover it right. He better step it up, the whole team needs to learn some composure as well.

Good win by the flames.

Where were you during the winning streak?

Well at least Carlyle can't somewhat ignorantly hang this on Perry this time for bad penalties like he did last time. Yet the Perry bashers will still have ammo because that five for fighting at the end of the game will put 5 minutes in his PIM tally.

Where were you during the winning streak?

I was based in reality homer.
I've noticed you are always around when the Ducks win - wee!!

Where were you during the winning streak?
He's a tool, pretty soon he'll be plagerizing blogs for his 'inside' info.

We still had games like this last year with Niedermayer, with this personel you are going to have games where you take bad penalties, during the streak we stayed out of the box which was a big key.

Also I bet you guys if Pronger had socked Phanuef from behind this website would have been full of Pronger threads.

Anyways if we can pick up a W in Vancouver this will be a successful road trip.

He's usually one of the more critical people of the team, good try champ.

No kidding.Dumb late penalties to SCHNEIDER, BERT and PRONGER ...does that mean they sit tonite or at least play less minutes. Or do we only punish 21 year olds for mistakes?

Aggressive is fine, but none of these calls were because we are "tough" they were the result of lack of discipline which is inexcusable for the above 3 vets who are paid to be stars and leaders. Cripes, Parros plays with an edge and seldom takes useless penalties.

When will this group learn?

Calgary sucked tonite and we gave them 2 points because we lack intelligence on the ice.

ugly, ugly game. The ducks were good the first period, actually DOMINANT the first period. We always play like crap in the 2nd period for whatever damn reason so that was no surprise it was close after 2. But the 3rd...holy hell what did we take 4 straight penalties? I don't care who we are playing we can't give an NHL powerplay 4 chances i one period in a tie game. We deserved to lose that game plain and simple.

PS giguere looked like hell out there. Absolutely terrible, he was like falling over on al of his saves.

He's usually one of the more critical people of the team, good try champ.

One of you needs to fight to the death for the avatar. Im not keen on reading, which is why I frequent message boards often.

Ha. I usually identify posters by the avatars. This exchange was like someone was arguing with himself. Static's right, there needs to be a deathmatch for Westside Snoop.

I missed the good board fights on here :yo:

rallykiller had the avatar first.

what's the word, is it Giggy back in the net tonight?

after last night and the fact that it's back to back, I think Hiller is probably in.
