Which was this past weekend? Teemu, Getzlaf, Pronger, Ryan, Mikkelson, Marchant, and Parros were all there.
My friend actually got some video, but he was saying Bobby Ryan is in fantastic shape, and he looks much quicker on his skates.
Mikkelson also looked really good out there, and he said the word was Teemu will wait until this salary situation is fixed, and hopefully sometime this week we will see some movement.

I didn't go, but there are some recaps on ALLDUCKS, the main site and at http://mvn.com/nhl-ducks/
It was Canada v. the U.S., with Pronger captaining Canada and Teemu was the captain of team U.S.A. (I guess he got a temporary emergency citizenship :D). Pronger, Getzlaf, Mikkelson, Ebbett, May and Montador were some of team Canada along with Sean Pronger, Dave Karpa and Jason Marshall. Selanne, Marchant, Ryan, Parros, Salcido and Craig Johnson were part of team U.S.A. The U.S. team won in a shootout 14 to 13? or something like that. People said Teemu looked like he was ready to start the season and was in a great mood (he even did his old c*ock (haha---that's a censored word?) the gun and shoot his glove after he scored).
Bobby Ryan was playing on d and was given a pretty good hazing out on the ice. Someone said he took the hazing well and looked good out there even though he was a defenseman (well actually, none of the defense was that great considering 26 goals were scored before the shootout). His skating looked good and he has dropped about 20 pounds after working out all summer.
It sounded like most people had a good time and with the tickets, auctions, VIP dinner and casino night, they raised over $50K.

I hope Ryan didn't end up losing too much muscle, I saw a few pics...he looks ripped
