GDT Ducks at Wild

ducks at wild

twins split up and miller playing. pretty much an auto loss

Sammy with Getz, Moen at center.

Carlyle has officially gone insane.

the season is riding on this game.

Love this coach

Pahlsson and Perry? Interesting.

These lines sure are interesting.

I just noticed Parros is a scratch in favor of Miller. What a joke.

Have to have an answer to Boogaard, therefore insert Drew Miller

this team is a joke. they should watch the 06-07 stanley cup champs dvd.

haha whats new

Perry is a ****ing idiot goalie interference again...

this team is a joke. they should watch the 06-07 stanley cup champs dvd.

So true. For a team that once dressed two enforcers and a couple light heavies our toughness is now represented by McIver (like him) and Montador.

yeah whenever i get depressed I watch those dvds.

Brenden Morrison is back from being neutral to horrific. He adds nothing.

I actually kind of like the Bodie-Ebbet-Ryan line...

oh my god. I had almost forgot what a glove save looked like

hiller is officially the starting goalie.

I don't know how Carlyle expects anything out of Perry when he is playing with Miller and Pahlsson.

Pretty boring period, Ducks need to score first or this one's over.

Just got in. Why exactly does Morrison have more ice time than Getzlaf?

Is Festerling out because of his thigh bruise?

edit: N/M just read (finally) today's paper.

Is this Carlyle's idea of shaking things up? We might as well go back to being the Mighty Ducks.

Huge save by Hiller on Bouchard's clean breakaway.

Uh, defense?

Bouchard is the best player on the ice right now.

i thought we were going out for a steak dinner....

Pronger has been terrible in the PP lately.

Perry!!

Pronger has been atrocious on the PP lately.

PP goal.

Perry has some puck luck finally.

Pronger has been horrible on the PP lately. :sarcasm: But yeah, that was a bad turnover.

Getzlaf pwned by Clutterbuck.

LOL. Clutterbuck

That shift by Boogard is why Parros should be in the lineup

I can't believe Getzlaf missed that! That was a golden chance.

Kunitz-Getzlaf-Perry reunited.

But I thought Miller-Pahlsson-Perry had so much offensive potential!

Goal.

Colton-picked-with-the-pick-we-traded-for-MacMillan-Gillies crushed Ebbett.

Hopefully Teemu and Scotty make their comeback during this timeout.

It's settled. The hockey Gods want us to win this game.

Post, then whistle before the Wild score.

Nolan uses the back of Montador's head as a punching bag.

replay edit: LOL, the Wild got as screwed as we did against Detroit.

Colton-picked-with-the-pick-we-traded-for-MacMillan-Gillies crushed Ebbett.

Wasn't McMillan picked with the Tampa pick we got for SOB? We didn't trade down did we?

I just want to re-emphasize what a great decision it was to scratch Parros against Minnesota.

Wasn't McMillan picked with the Tampa pick we got for SOB? We didn't trade down did we?

We had the 16th pick and traded down to 19th. Gillies was picked with the 16th pick we traded.

Wasn't McMillan picked with the Tampa pick we got for SOB? We didn't trade down did we?
Gillies was picked with that pick. We traded down for MacMillan. And Tangradi with the extra 2nd. So it wasn't really that bad.

Our d really misses O'Donnells toughness right about now.

Beautiful pass by Scotty, terrible finish by Miller.

I just want to re-emphasize what a great decision it was to scratch Parros against Minnesota.

yes it was pure genius.
:sarcasm:

miler is awesome

Miller blows a point blank chance.

Gillies was picked with that pick. We traded down for MacMillan. And Tangradi though. So it wasn't really that bad.Makes a difference, i'd say. Gillies is not that special.

Makes a difference, i'd say. Gillies is not that special.
Actually I liked the trade down, both at the time and now. I just wanted to point out how Gillies and the Ducks were related.

I just wished we'd have picked Pacioretty.

LOL. The Ducks got a whistle earlier, and not the Wild then?

Kunitz-Getzlaf-Perry reunited.

But I thought Miller-Pahlsson-Perry had so much offensive potential!

Good news they've been reunited.

they just need a nickname for clutterbuck. i can't stand hearing that name anymore

Ebbett has been a nice surprise this season.

Has Miller EVER won a battle along the boards?

they just need a nickname for clutterbuck. i can't stand hearing that name anymore
Clutterbuck the cluster****. Or just Clutter****.

Ebbett looks better and better every game.

Agree on Ebbett, nice to have someone with a bit of talent.

At least the refs are with us in this game.

Chop Miller...

Ha. FS north just broadcast Nolan saying "**** me" nice and loud.

Why are you miking the bench?

Ha. The Wild PbP guy wondering why the Ducks didn't get called for icing the past two clears.

Hello, PK?

mikelsson looks really bad

nice job steve. and great rebound goal by bobby.

Ryan 2-0

QP takes advantage of a rebound and oodles of time and space.

Anyone want to guess at what our record would be if Giguere hadn't started so much recently??

I think we'd have at least 2 more wins than we do now.

Was that Mikkelson who Bouchard just walked around?

Mikkelson just got beat by Boogaard .

It's nice to see the team win, a nice glimpse of hope.

I don't think there is any reason to not play Hiller anymore. I love JS but honestly. He shouldn't play until we play the islanders next week, because even if he blows, we should still win and could help him start to get out of his funk. Ebbett looks excellent.


I can't stand the wild announcers, I understand that the whistle was way early, but I don't need the replay and comlaining every seven minutes.

Awesome cycling by the first line Perry with his 2nd.

haha that was easy :)

victory for once. too bad miller got on the scoring sheet.

we shouldn't play jiggy for a while unless hiller jsut starts sucking

Ducks win.

2 wins sounds about right.

But I still think it's the right move to play Giguere a little more to try to get him going. Goaltending is very mental/groove based.

But Hiller should play a lot, we can't give up too many points.


Take away message of the game is that if the hockey gods and the refs conspire together, the Ducks can indeed win.

I agree. God knows why Carlyle has given away so many standings points by insisting on playing Giguere.

see that would be a great idea. but we really can't afford to do that right now.

Wow. Obviously that last goal by the Ducks at the end of the 3rd period was a result of Minnesota apathy... but just wow. That was some horrible, uninspired, uncaring hockey by Minny for the last 5 minutes or so of the game.

Go go Squiddo!

Goal.

The heck?

We need to make the playoffs. That's it. If we're in big danger of missing the playoffs, Giguere shows he can no longer win, or the playoffs start and Hiller is the hot hand... then fine, lets roll with Hiller in 80% of the games or so.

I realize the Ducks are 'on the brink' of falling out of the playoff picture, but heck, its not only Jiggy's fault. He hasn't been perfect, but every player on this team needs to pick their game up.

Jiggy has had cold streaks in the past, but the team still won because most of the team was playing really well. Its hard to just start picking on him because he is struggling at the same time the rest of the team is.

He is still under contract for a while and a lot of money is involved. As an investment perspective, just tossing him in the trash for the sake of a couple good games from Hiller seems to be a bad strategy.

The heck?

Was a picture of a squid with the words "Perry" and "Goal" :)

Dude looks like a squid. Don't know if pic showed up for everyone.

Oh, I saw the picture. As a hint, I think the image tag (the little picture of hills and a sun on the toolbar) works better.

My question remains: what the hell? A squid?

pasty skin. Bug eyes. How do you NOT see it? :)http://hfboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31688&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1232248709

Rabble rabble

Also I think Ryan may be challenging Pahlsson for god status, because he didn't something Sammi couldn't - get Rob Niedermayer an assist.

I actually noticed Ryan Carter a lot more than Pahlsson tonight even strength wise...hell I dont remember hearing Pahlsson's name at all, probably because he is so uncomfortable with any role that involves creating offense.

This might just be a function of me not paying full attention to the game, but what exactly did Antti Miettinen do (besides his 0 points, -2 rating, 2 hits, and 2 SOG) to get 3rd star, over say the guy who scored 2 goals? Or say Bouchard, who was a constant threat.

I remember hearing his name quite often. He never did any mistakes from what I remember, good passing game from him.

Wow. The frequency that the DUCKS' commentators mentioned DUCK player names... that's a horrible way to judge anyone's contributions.

Pahlsson played a step-child role on the powerplay and his checking line was often broken up.

I thought they both played pretty well actually. The guy I thought disappeared was Rob.

Well, if you're listening to the game on radio and not watching the game, it usually is a pretty good indicator of which players are more involved in the play through the course of the game, but of course it doesn't always mean in a good way.;)

Why yes, I am an idiot! thank you for reminding me :)

I didn't mean to sound obvious. It's just that that was my experience last night because I was in and out of my car for a good part of the game and was listening to it on the radio rather that watching the game on t.v.
