OK, so trawling the Canucks board, it turns out that the game is being webcast on the Canucks site! http://canucks.nhl.tv/team/launch.htm?type=wvod&id=21459&catid=804 It will probably be a stream of the sportsnet-pacific feed, meaning Canucks announcers. You have been warned.

Come watch Teemu's 1st game this season.

Because there's video, I think this game deserves a separate GDT.

Yup, video but no sound. Although with Vancouver announcers, that might actually be preferable.

You could always listen to Carrol and Severyn on AM830.

Nothing much, OD wrestles Bieksa down without any real punches.

Sanford vs Levasseur. Clash of the titans.

Thanks for sharing the video link. Nice to see the ducks at the Pond. Yes the refs are calling it tight. How in the world did Pronger get that penalty?

Perry scores. Lindstrom throws the puck in the crease, Perry picks it up and outwaits Sanford while skating across the crease.

What do you expect. This is the same club that thought Shannon could do something, anything.
Levasseur good or bad?
He's had some not-so-good moments. Seems alright though.

PP looks dangerous. Perry trying his hand at being the screen/net presence.

They're trying Festerling on the PP? The hell?

The current "checking line" audition appears to be Miller-Marchant-Niedermayer.

Ducks PP again.

Wellwood ties it up on a rush. I think they told him there was a hot dog in the net. Mikkelson was the Dman for the 2-1.

A couple near goals in the PPs. Perry's empty net shot is deflected by Davidson last PP, not Selanne's shot goes through Sanford and bounces through the crease.

It's preseason, don't worry about it. He'll be in the lineup for opening night. And if you're expecting 65 points, I'd say you're in for a letdown.

Yeah, considering that 1 player on the Ducks broke 55 last season... I'm not sure that's a good bet.

The "Andy McDonald" treatment involves being on the 1st line, Selanne (and Morrison) will be on the 2nd line now.

Is there a better powerplay in the league than Perry, Getzlaf, Selanne, Pronger and Niedermeyer? Maybe Detroit's big line but that's about it.

Has Perry gotten quicker? He looks much faster than last year.

And how about Selanne. Incredible hands, especially on his second goal. The Ducks are a completely different team with Selanne.

This is why training camp/scrimmages don't mean jack. I see them in person, and LeNeveu sucks donkey balls while Levasseur was miles better (but only passable). And even then, this is just preseason.

Now in consecutive games, LeNeveu was is the one who was much better.

We still suck at shootouts. Getzlaf didn't score, surprise surprise, and pretty much flubbed it. Perry had a decent chance, but Sanford stacked the pads (who does that anymore?) I'm almost tempted to bump that shootout thread.

The Ducks don't have that good of a PP. We were pretty bad last season, and that was including Selanne. The personnel is great (1st line only, the 2nd line sucks with ppl like Rob on it), but they haven't quite produced. And just on paper, both Detroit and Pittsburgh have way better PPs.

I don't think Perry has really been any quicker. He's actually not a slow skater, he's just deliberate most of the time. Well, scratch that. He's not fast, but he can actually accelerate pretty good. So it looked like more of the same to me.

I watched the game and I have to say the skill is there, but the low percentage shots from the outside won't work unless you have somebody screening the goalie. Getzlaf is fantastic at deflecting the puck, but I wouldn't want him standing in front of a slapshot every game.

Good to see Getzlaf and Perry and Selanne as dominant as before.

The PP should be alot better this year that's for sure, having Selanne and Niedermayer all year will help big time.

Seems like he is making a strong case to stay with the big club. He had an excellent game last night.

Lindstrom made a number of positive plays. Although you do have to wonder how much of that was the Getzlaf/Perry effect, when he played a few shifts with them. But he did some good stuff without the twins as well. He might add some shootout punch to a known lousy shootout team.

You have to think that if Ryan is sent down for cap reasons, Lindstrom (along with Carter) will be one of the first in line to take the top-6 LW spot.

Randall Graves*
09-29-2008, 04:38 PM
Lindstrom will shoot the puck so that could help him land a spot with Getzlaf and Perry IF Ryan has to be sent down.
