Out of town scoreboard

2/10/09

Big night tonight. We need a few teams to win.

Avs over the Blue Jacket.
Isles over the Kings.
Blues over the Canucks.

GO DUCKS!

We want Detroit over Nashville.

So far the Predators and Kings are losing which is good.

you had to say it didn't you?

So far, we are still good. Columbus keeps winning even without Mason. Kings eeks out a lucky one. Nashville lost and right now the Canucks are losing.

Talking about it makes it worse. 3-3.

edit: or do you mean St. Louis just scored. Hmm..

This thread worked.

Sorry, I think I jinxed us with Vancouver.

I think I'll wait until the games over before I comment on these things from now on.

2/11/09

Another big nite. We need:

Stars over Coyotes. (Dallas is making the playoffs. Either way, we will benefit)
Habs over Oilers (most important game of the nite.)
Avs over Wild (We need help here.)

Edmonton-Montreal isn't over yet, but it's looking like you're not allowed to post these ever again.

This thread isn't helping our situaition.

Edmonton-Montreal isn't over yet, but it's looking like you're not allowed to post these ever again.

I second that motion.

To be honest, the thread may need to be closed...it is causing too much bad vibes.

Yeah, wtf is this. Lock and delete thread please.

Wow, this thread is bad luck. lol

Wow, this thread is bad luck. lol

God Minny and Edmonton winning was killer.

DELETE DELETE DELETE


:cry:

I somehow don't think we'll be hearing about the important games tomorrow, will we? Please no.

I've got the solution. Jerky can still do this thread. He just can't hit post until after the games are over. That way the lazies will know who needed to win, and then we'll also have the results.

Here, defer it to the old thread, maybe the bad vibes will go away, haha.

Pretty much as bad as it gets. Since shutting up and not trying to jinx it isn't working. Maybe saying something about it will have the reverse effect.

Maybe this image of Gunner Stahl will bring us good luck.

Big day.

Right now the best we can do is 3/6. Which isn't terrible.

Minnesota lost which is great, Dallas lost which could be good I guess, I think they are a lock anyway, and Phoenix is losing, but barring a huge comeback stretch they are pretty much done. The big ones were the three point game in LA and Columbus winning. That hurts.

its too late to delete thread that would be a worse jinx

It ended up pretty good, Minnesota and Dallas losing is helpful and Phoenix are getting buried deeper and deeper in the standings. Sucks about the 3 point game and Columbus winning, but I'm not too worried about Nashville winning at this point.

Ooo. Pretty colors...


Things look so much more dire when you use win% and realize they need to play INTO the playoffs, instead of just backing into it like the standings would imply.

After last night's loss to the Thrashers, I don't think we have anything to lose anymore. If we are to miss the playoffs, lets go out in a blaze of glory. So boys, I am not afraid anymore. I won't be a victim anymore. Here are my scoreboard needs tonight:

1. Stars over Blue Jacket
2. Yotes over Oilers
3. Thrashers over Kings
4. Senators over Predators

Does this mean you're pro-tank? Let's improve that draft pick!

Does this mean you're pro-tank? Let's improve that draft pick!

Keep the faith my snarky friend.

Dallas just beat the Blue Jacket in SO.

The Sens defeated the Predators.

Dallas just beat the Blue Jacket in SO.

Worst possible result. Oh well 3 point games will only improve our draft pick.

Well so far Edmonton is leading Phoenix (bad), but Atlanta is 3 up on LA (good).

edit: ha, Phoenix just tied. But whatever the result, we just don't want a 3 point game. Or do we?

double edit: whaat. LA just scored one too. Hmm.

triple edit: ha. Atl scored yet again. 4-1.

I'm pro tank, we are going nowhere with this team, if the Oilers win we are officially 9th.

Hey it sucks losing but I'm realistic, we ain't winning ****!

Quadruple edit: Now Stoll scores. 4-2.

Uh, defense?

I'm pro tank, we are going nowhere with this team, if the Oilers win we are officially 9th.

Well there's tanking for a better draft pick. But even if we miss the playoffs, a stretch run might be good experience for all the kids. Ebbett, Ryan, Festerling, etc.

I am never in favor of tanking unless you can get Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin. I am sure the Kings are glad they got Doughty instead of Stamkos.

Big setback as the Oilers beat the Yotes 3-1. We are currently out of a playoff spot.

I'm pro tank, we are going nowhere with this team, if the Oilers win we are officially 9th.

Woah woah woah, never, ever under any circumstances should you be cheering for anything good to happen to Edmonton.

You had to say something about it didn't you? LA has scored twice in 2 minutes to make it 6-5 Atlanta.

Woah woah woah, never, ever under any circumstances should you be cheering for anything good to happen to Edmonton.

I don't know what I would dislike more, seeing Edmonton in the playoffs or seeing LA in the playoffs.

I don't know what I would dislike more, seeing Edmonton in the playoffs or seeing LA in the playoffs.

Maybe it's just me, but personally I hate the idea of the Oilers in the playoffs more then the Kings. Except for a few, the Kings fans aren't that bad. There seems to be a surplus amount of annoying Oiler fans though.

Somebody delete this god damn thread.


Kings score with 5 seconds left to tie game.

Kings lose in shootout. Still, ridiculous that they even got a point out of this game. This thread is still gay.

This no hope thing is kind of growing on me, kind of like a yeast infection, in a good way.

Learned helplessness. Fantastic ain't it.

We got a big game with the Kings on Wednesday. The road trip is going to determine whether we should be buyers or sellers so I won't get my panties in a bunch just yet.

Yeah but it will be a misguided run, in all honesty if Scott is going to retire I want us to move him I don't care if we are 8th/9th/10th at the time, he's a valuable asset and we could reload for next year.

I suppose there is a small chance we could make a run, but where is the evidence to support that? teams that make underdog runs are usually hot going in, and we've been the same all year.

Woah woah woah, never, ever under any circumstances should you be cheering for anything good to happen to Edmonton.
They'll finish 9th, we'll finish 10th ;)

Unless we go 4-2 on that trip we should be SELLERS, only that type of trip would give any sort of indication this team is a contender

Who's with me?

In semi-related news, brad Richards is down for at least a month with a broken wrist. I never like to see guys get hurt, but Im not going to pretend the timing is good for us. We need as much help right now as we can get.

Does this mean you've given up on Chicago? And aren't concerned about Colorado?



Not out-of-town per se, but I thought I'd give people some idea of where we stand historically in terms of getting into the playoffs.

In 2000, the NHL instituted the "loser point" system. A team losing in OT would still get a point, making 3 point games possible. Since 2000, 8th place throughout the NHL has an average of 90.5 points. The West has an average of 92 points. (This includes post-lockout. Only pre-lockout the averages are 88.8 and 90.8)

Since the lockout, ties were eliminated (shootouts). The point totals should bump up yet more because there are fewer ties (2 point games). Now this only leads to sample sizes of 6 and 3, respectively, but the league-wide 8th place finish is 93.3 points and the West's 8th is 94.

94 seems like the magic number to me. West post-lockout is the most applicable situation. I (and others) have alluded to this number before, I just wanted to nail it down and include last year's data.


Anaheim is currently 10th in terms of point %, out of the playoffs. They are "on pace" for 86 points.

There's 24 games left for the Ducks, they need 33 more points to reach the magic number of 94. Meaning they have 7.5 more losses left for the season (24 games * 2 points - 33 = points cushion)/2 points per game.

7.5 more losses left, a OTL only counts as half a loss. I'll provide updates periodically.

I should stop reading your research, its depressing.

All it says is that the team has to play much better than it has in order to make the playoffs. This roster, playing like it supposedly can, shouldn't lose more than 5-7 games the rest of the season. This team, playing as it has all season, will lose more. The stats look dire, but don't tell us anything more than we already know.

Well, I don't know how this will effect the standings but...

Since a lot of teams are close this year, that may spread the points around and lower the points mark for 8th place (at least that's what I'd like to think). Then again, everyone is battling for that spot and we have no momentum or desire.

I dunno that it makes a whole lot of difference. The East in 06 and 07 was like that. Their magic number was 92 and 92.

So maybe it gets us one more loss.

The stats tell the truth and nothing more. This team won't make the playoffs... I could easily see 5 losses happening in the next two weeks.

The Flames blew that one but at least the Sharks held true and beat the Oilers.

The stats tell the truth and nothing more. This team won't make the playoffs... I could easily see 5 losses happening in the next two weeks.

The stats tell the truth...that the team needs to go on a tear to make the playoffs. I fail to see how that differs from what I said.

Well if you were a betting man Ken, would you bet on the ducks?

Let the ketchup come out.

Well if you were a betting man Ken, would you bet on the ducks?

I'm not much of a betting man, but when I do I try to play the percentages, so no I wouldn't.

The stats tell the truth...that the team needs to go on a tear to make the playoffs. I fail to see how that differs from what I said.

But we both know they won't... so this team isn't making the playoffs.

Clinging to the fact they aren't mathematically eliminated isn't going to help this team next season and beyond. Murray had better be in sellers mode.

I should just add a little info on how much of a tear that would have to be.

33 points in 24 games is a .6875 point%. Anaheim's best full season was 2007 (110 points). In 2007, they had a .6707 point %. So that's a little bleak.

Now that's a full season. 24 games is much easier to do that well in. If someone is interested (I can't go to those sites here), they could go to espn (or another site) and look at the Ducks' records in 06, 07, and 08 and see how well they've done in 24 game segments. I feel like they probably have surpassed it in points. The beginning of 07, and sometime after Niedermayer came back in 08 for starters.

the ducks had like an insane record last year when we got selanne and nieds back and before perrys injury.... Not sure exactly what it was but I think we had the best record in the league during January and February...

But we both know they won't...

I've seen enough hockey to know that definitely don't know that. THat's my only point. I agree, unless they go on a tear the next few days, they're sellers at the deadline.

2/18

Three games on the docket.

1. Blues over the Blue Jacket
2. Wings over the Predators
3. DUCKS over the Kings.

We desparately need to win this game. IMO, this game will define the rest of our season. I can't see the boys having too much confidence heading into a long road trip before the trade deadline if we lose tonight.

Columbus is going to win. DET/NSH is still too close to call.

The whole point of this thread makes me sad. We all know the Ducks can't win their way into the playoffs so lets root and cheer for the miracle combination of losses by other teams that will allow them to slink in anyway. Really, really sad given the "talent" on the roster.

6.5 losses left.

http://www.nbcuniversalstore.com/img/product/resized/00010564-172329_400.jpg for tonight:

Florida over Chicago (maybe irrelevant as Chicago's is probably out of reach): Chicago winning 2-0
Toronto over Columbus: tied 3-3
Ottawa over Vancouver: Vancouver's winning 4-2
St. Louis over Nashville? (just avoid OT): 1-1
Calgary over Minnesota: 2-2
Dallas and Edmonton not going to OT (probably doesn't matter who wins): 2-2
Atlanta over Phoenix: 1-1
SJ over LA

Not a good start.

Losing to Atlanta and LA pretty much killed it. Hard enough to only lose 7 without wasting them on teams like that.

If God owes anyone a favor, it's time to cash in boys. We need a miracle!

There is no God here, I think its pretty clear Burke sold the Ducks' soul to the devil.

Not a great day for us scoreboard wise, although we did win. However, I went to the Stars/Hawks game, in which the hawks won 3-1 in case you didn't know, and the Stars looked terrible. Richards injury crippled that team tonight. The only player who did anything productive was Ott.

There is no God here, I think its pretty clear Burke sold the Ducks' soul to the devil.

.. and financed it through Countrywide.

Big game between the Hawks and Wild...

Third period and Wild are up 2-1.

Good news. Sharks beat the Stars 1-0. For you scoreboard watcher, we play the Stars twice in the next 11 days. Those are potential 8 pt swings if we can win those two games.

2/24/09 - Decent Night For Anaheim

Anaheim 3 Buffalo 2 Final :)
Colorado 3 Atlanta 4 Final :)
Vancouver 0 Montreal 3 Final :)
Los Angeles 2 Minnesota 1 Final :)
Chicago 3 Nashville 5 Final :ha:
Phoenix 1 St. Louis 2 Final :)
Tampa Bay 2 Edmonton 4 3rd :ha:
Columbus 1 Calgary 3 3rd :)

Chicago laid a big one giving up 4 goals in the third. The Oilers just beat the Lightning. Overall, a good night for us.

LA and Min in OT, lame.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a lot of these games are going to OT. What gives?

Slow night, Kings and Flyers is the only game that means anything to the Ducks.

Big night tomorrow however, Columbus and Edmonton play each other as well as Dallas who play the Blues. I think I want Edmonton to lose, Columbus currently has one game in hand on us while Edmonton has two...just please no OT games.

what, you don't think we can catch the sharks?

Flyers beat the Kings in regulation, so the only game that really meant anything tonight went our way which is good.

I agree about wanting Columbus to win. That's really a no win situation, but it'd be a little better if Columbus one though. Plus I just hate the Oilers.

The Wild are really screwing it for us though. They keep managing to get a point in their losses.

As depressing as today's whooping was at the hands of the Bruins, the daily out of town scoreboard was kind to us. Columbus beat Edmonton and the Stars continue their downward spiral losing to the Blues. Nashville won and is 1 pt behind us in the standing with one less game played.

Minnesota vs Edmonton is the game of the night tonight. While Minnesota has one more game in hand than us than Edmonton, they are already in the top 8 so I will be rooting for them to beat the Oil.

Other than that, root for the Wings (bleh) against Nashville and Phoenix against the Blues.

lots of road games for Minnesota and Dallas left

I hate the Red Wings more than any team in sports its almost impossible to root for them against anyone.

Well there's one thing we can agree on.

Well the non cheering is working, Nashville leads 5-0 in the first.

How is Detroit losing 5-0? How?

Because Anaheim needs them to win, obviously.

In the 1st no less.

Babcock doesn't want the Ducks in the playoffs, smart.

What's nice for Nashville is that, playing Detroit, they have absolutely no fear of retribution. It's probably a nice feeling.

Shea Weber with a Gordie Howe hat trick and a +5 on top of that. If I had a fantasy team and he was on it, I'd be as drunk as Pwnasaurus.

8-0 Nashville.

Don't you feel so dirty?

Edmonton won in regulation, not the outcome we really wanted but either way the Ducks were going to win and lose that situation. St. Louis won along with Nashville as well, and that hurts as if the Blues win their games in hand they will pass Anaheim as well.

It seems like the closer we get to the end of the season the more teams are making a run at the top 8 spots.

Tomorrow we have:

Pit @ Dal
Clb @ Van
La @ Chi

Root for Pittsburgh, Vancouver, and Chicago.

I may be wrong, but didn't we want Edmonton to win? Since they've played more, a win has a smaller effect on their win % than for Minnesota.

Right?

Yeah, youre right, I dont even remember why I wanted Minnesota to win.

Going well so far: Chicago leads 3-2, Pittsburgh leads 3-0.

Pittsburg beat Dallas 4-1 and Chicago beat LA 4-2.

That's bad news, every time I cheer for the town's team they always disappoint. I wouldn't expect too much from the Nucks.

Canucks just scored to make it 2-0. A loss here for Columbus is huge for us.

Jackets, Kings, Flames, and Stars lose=a perfect night for us. :D

Oh yeah, I did it! I didn't want to but you left me with no choice. I took out the Pahlsson = God avi. Who's with me?

But that avatar was from 06. Although a WCF loss seems a lot better than where we're headed now, so it can't hurt.


I'm gonna do 07.

Tomorrow there are no games of importance, so I'll skip to Tuesday:

LA @ Clb
Edm @ Nash
Det @ Stl
Min @ Van
Dal @ SJ

Root for: LA, Edm, Det (bleh again, dont **** us over), Van, and SJ.

Pretty big night, but only relevant if the Ducks beat Chicago.

Every game this team plays now is vital. The scores from other games only matter if this team wins.

This games in hand thing is not doing us any good. Gone are the days when we were the ones with less games played.

Let the ketchup flow.

Let the ketchup flow.

The games-played gap is closing considerably, and the team is still currently in the mix. I'm beginning to feel like it's no longer a foregone conclusion that they're going to miss the playoffs. You're right, every single game is huge...any losses are going to be devastating. So, just don't lose.

To be honest, the upcoming home stand scares me more than the road trip did. This club has been so frustrating at home, if they can figure out a way to get some of that home-ice mojo that they've had in the past, things could look very positive by the end of the next two weeks.

ANA will be the team with games in hand by the 1st of april we dont play much in this month

I don't think its a forgeone conclusion but we are a shadow of our former team.

Age/Exhaustion has caughten up with this team and I doubt we win 1 round unless its against the 3rd seed team.

If you can make a deal for the future and get a top roster/D guy, I'd make the move irrespective of Pronger/Niedermayer.

The Kings just scored three straight goal in the 2nd to take a 4-3 lead against the Blue Jacket.

edm and nsh are tied. its always a good thing when both teams get a point

Sutherby just scored for the Stars to make it 3-1 in the third.

4-1 Dallas, game is all but over. Vancouver beat Minnesota 4-2 which makes Dallas winning bearable.

Sutherby just scored for the Stars to make it 3-1 in the third.
Unreal. Lousy sharks probably think this is the playoffs and therefore they must tank...

Edit: 4-1 now. Thank you San Jose...

Oilers lost to the Sens 4-2=:D
Jackets lost to the Preds 4-2=Good I guess
Dallas is beating the Kings 4-2 :(
San Jose and Minnesota stilled tied at 0

Great. San Jose choked after taking a three goal lead. The Wild scored in OT and got two points.

Holy **** SJ

The kings salvaged the night by coming back from a 4-2 deficit and winning in OT.

Turco looked terrible in the game btw.

And Boucher gave up a center ice goal on the game tying goal.

San Jose sure isn't helping us lately.

12th in the West in point %. 22nd in the league (meaning the 9th overall draft pick).

Using the "94 points" barometer, 3 losses left in 16 games. Although going by the point pace of 8th place we "only" have to get 89 points... which would be 5.5 losses.

4-5-1 in the last 10 games with a 2 game winless streak... not exactly going the right direction.

I think 88-89 points will be enough.

The next 10 games are crucial. Talent wise we are better than the teams we will play apart from San Jose and maybe Vancouver but that hasn't worked in our favor at all this year. We need to win at least 7 to put us back into the playoff picture which is very doable but I doubt it will happen.

LA beat Minnesota 4-3. We need Detroit, San Jose, Philadelphia and Toronto to beat Columbus, Vancouver, Nashville and Edmonton tonight.

Detroit sucks.

Detroit clearly doesn't want us to make the playoffs. Edmonton beat Toronto and Nashville lost to Philly. Pretty bad results so far other than the Nashville game.

yay thanks st louis!

yay thanks st louis!
Columbus won. Minnesota, Nashville, Edmonton all picked up points.

*Sigh* Can't rely on anyone these days...

Anaheim (68 pts) is currently in 12th place in the West 3 points out of 8th place (Nashville). Most of the teams battling for the final playoff spot(s) have 66 or 67 games played (Ducks have 67).

Columbus won. Minnesota, Nashville, Edmonton all picked up points.
whats even more frustrating is Minn,Edm came from behind to get points showing hunger something this teams hasnt shown all year
The other teams just want it more

By points % the Ducks are 13th. And last of the realistic playoff pack (Phoenix is out of it).

Currently in position for the 8th overall draft pick.

Keep an eye on this:

we currently have an almost 20% chance of making the playoffs right now

SChroeder FTW

Just thought I'd throw this in here for you guys, Moen got an assist and a goal yesterday against the Wild and actually looked really good on Thornton's wing. There were some communication problems (mostly when Joe is along the boards), but he's just got to get used to his style of play. BTW, I'm not bragging, just thought I'd update you on how he's doing so far.

He's a great player it was stupid that we just gave him away especially to a rival, he is clutch when the playoffs start as well. I hate San Jose but i love the style of play this team plays with the mixture of skill and grit

Yes, stupid to get a return on a player who wasnt going to re-sign. How idiotic of Murray to think ahead like that.

"Return" Oh Boy!! Just give the Cup to the Ducks now, they've got Bonino in the system. :shakehead

I'll believe otherwise when I see it.

Bonino,Pielmeier,Pick is better than nothing. You can believe it now, i woudn't lie to you.

Not to mention how horrible Moen was this season. Losing him was nothing.

Are you really arguing that two prospects is less than nothing? Id love to hear how that calculation works out.

Adding a prospect who could realistically contribute at the NHL level pretty soon is more valuable that having Travis Moen for 15 or so games when this team is going nowhere with or without him.

We might as well root for SJ. As long as we aren't playing them that is. Our conditional pick depends on it.

We're playing you on Sunday. Moen returns to the pond...in teal :)

I'll be there too, I can't frakking wait.

Moen is not a great player.

Prospects/Draft Picks > 20 days worth of Moen

Adding a prospect who could realistically contribute at the NHL level pretty soon is more valuable that having Travis Moen for 15 or so games when this team is going nowhere with or without him.

What makes you think he could realistically contribute any time soon? Murray has said he may come out this, or maybe next year. Either way a season in the AHL. That puts him two or three season out.

The guy was the Sharks 18th ranked prospect on this site. He's not in their top 10 according to Futures Watch. All you have to go on is Murray getting all excited... I'm not holding my breathe.

Put it this way, I see the current situation no better than having Moen, Huskins, O'Dell, and signing a UFA (Moen or otherwise) this summer.

Are you really arguing that two prospects is less than nothing? Id love to hear how that calculation works out.

Depends a great deal on the two prospects doesn't it?

13 Bonino, Nick GP35 G15 A27 P42 +21

MVP of the Beanpot and playing for the #1 team in the nation. Going to Boston College, I have seen Nick play. Lets put it this way, I was very excited when Moen got traded.

And come on, his birthday is 04/20/1988! :sarcasm:

Depends a great deal on the two prospects doesn't it?

No, not really. Unless one of those guys kills someone they will have more value than letting Moen walk for nothing, even if that means helping the AHL team out.

average prospects with less than 1% chance of even playing in the NHL >>>>>>> trying to make the playoffs

Or we could pick up a decent prospect for a 4th line player who will walk in the summer.

EC - Getzlaf - Perry
Ryan - Ebbett - Selanne
Brown - Marchant - Niedermayer
Carter - Nokia - Parros

Where does Moen fit in? Oh wait, he doesn't.

He wasn't a 4th line player. On a healthy Ducks team he's easily a 3rd line player, and he didn't really have the bottom 2 lines set for any long period of time. Still it was good move by Murray IMO. I don't think there's a place for him here next year either though. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Carter get the pressbox most nights next season.

Where exactly would Moen fit in? Brown, Marchant, and Niedermayer are all playing better then him. If we keep Moen, there is a good chance he would be playing in front of Carter on the fourth line, and to tell you the truth, I'd rather have Carter on the ice.

I'd much rather have Nokia, Carter, Marchant, Brown, and Niedermayer on the fourth line.

Third line.

One thing to note about Bonino that he's an NCAA player and our scouts seem to have a knack with those types. Off the top of my head there are, what, 5 undrafted NCAAers off our cup winning team? Our top two prospects are NCAAers, and 3 out of the top 5 fit in that group as well. I think our NCAA scouting is some of the best in the league, if not the best, and if these guys are saying this guy's good, then I'll definitely believe it. I definitely don't regard him in the same way Murray does, but clearly they like the guy.

Huge games tonight:

Nashville @ Rangers (tied 2-2)
Dallas @ Canes (Carolina up 1-0)
Wild @ Avs (tied 0-0)
Thrashers @ Edmonton (6:30)

Wild score, up 1-0.

Pitt has come all the way back from 3-0 in the 3rd to tie it up with 6 min left.

Stars tie it up, Rangers take the lead.

Kunitz hits the post in OT...

Dallas is now leading 2-1.

Jackets win in the SO...:cry:

Looks like everyone we need to lose tonight is going to gain at least 1 point other than maybe Nashville. ****!

I'm so sick of San jose getting whooped by teams we desperately need them to beat. And watch them light us up on Sunday.

Minnesota looks like they will get to OT. Amazing how every team we ever need to lose somehow manages to get points.

Yay 4 points?

Wild lose in a shootout against a team they should have beat.

Atlanta with a PP against Edmonton late in the 3rd of a 3-3 game. PLEEEAAASSEEEE score god damnit.

Of course Kovalchuk isnt playing and the powerplay fails miserably.

Aaaaaand Edmonton gets to OT. I didnt expect Atlanta to get them to OT however, especially with their best player out.

Reasoner wins it for Atlanta on a horrible play by the Oiler dman. Good job.

Still a devastating night. And an eternity until sunday.

Still a devastating night. And an eternity until sunday.

Yeah, every team gained a point with the exception of Nashville, who is already ahead. Could have been worse I guess.

Looking ahead:

Tomorrow night:

Vancouver @ LA, Root for Vancouver
Columbus @ Chicago, Root for Chicago

Saturday night:

Detroit at St. Louis, find a way to root for Detroit
Minnesota @ Dallas, root for Minnesota
Nashville @ Phoenix, root for Phoenix
Colorado @ Edmonton, root for Colorado
Kings @ Sharks, root against Sharks for reverse curse

Columbus is playing so well. They remind me of us when we went all the way to the Western Conference final. I just can't see them not making the playoffs. In reality, there are only two spots available.

I think so as well, and I hesitated even bothering putting them up there. Still, they are three wins ahead at the moment and anything can happen. Doesnt hurt to root against them (I hope).

For the first time in I don't remember how long we will have not played the most games in the Western Conference. Calgary and Columbus each play their 69th game tonight, one more than us.

Root for Vancouver and Calgary over LA and Columbus. Not that we'll catch Columbus anyway.

I must have misread it yeah Chicago. That means only Columbus has played more games and they're now 8 points ahead lol.

Nonetheless they are one Mason injury away from disaster.

Saturday night:

Detroit at St. Louis, find a way to root for Detroit OK
Minnesota @ Dallas, root for Minnesota Not only does Dallas win, but in OT
Nashville @ Phoenix, root for Phoenix Nope
Colorado @ Edmonton, root for Colorado Yeah, but Edm gets a loser point
Kings @ Sharks, root against Sharks for reverse curse Another loser point
That was a successful night.

The last couple of seasons I would hear people grumble about the loser point, but I think it never really bothered me because the ducks have consistently been in a solid spot. This season I absolutely hate it, my god. Every team we need beaten either wins or gets it to ot. If Minnesota rallys and gets to overtime again I'll break my tv.

So now that everyone has caught up we're three points out of the playoffs. That's not too bad, the playoffs are still a definate possibility at this point, now might be a good time for Anaheim to start playing consistent hockey.

Somebody hasn't been following the team for 2 seasons...:sarcasm:

I gotta say, based on the play of the team, being 3 points out is actually better than I'd expect. Although the fact that we'd have to jump 3/4 teams (does St. Louis count?) is the more worrisome part.

Only game of interest tonight is Minnesota at St. Louis, root for a Blues win in REGULATION. Christ.

So far they are holding it down, 4-1. And the wings finally did something useful for us.

Far too late to worry about Columbus. We're 8th place or nothing.

The Wild and Blue Jackets lost. Now we just need to hold our own and beat the Sharks.

Basically Minnesota's been sucking, even more than we have. It is a little interesting to compare how teams are doing in their last 10 compared to the season average.

Well, another big night tonight...

St. Louis at Edmonton, root for the Blues
Colorado at Minnesota, root for the Avs
Dallas at Vancouver, root for the Canucks

Well, another big night tonight...

St. Louis at Edmonton, root for the Blues

Edmonton wins, and in SO (moving St. Louis 3 points ahead of us). Minnesota wins, also in SO (the lower point only affects us in that Colorado gains a point on us for the draft pick). But hey, at least Vancouver won in regulation.

5 points out of a playoff spot.

We're really ****ed now, I can't see us overcoming a 5 point deficit. The last game really killed as.

Add Phoenix to the long list of mediocre teams who has defeated San Jose lately, too bad we couldn't have been one of them.

Ever since this thread was created the Ducks have played notably worse, and 80-90% of the games go the wrong way. Please lock this thread... that is, unless we want a better draft pick.

Stars at Flames tonight...Dallas should be tired in the 2nd game of a back to back, on the road no less.

Toronto also passed us last night, putting us at 8th overall for the draft.

So should I cheer for Nashville tonight? :sarcasm:

Well, Dallas lost in regulation...that is a positive. :)

It's kind of sad that we now have to add "in regulation."

Good, Dallas lost.

Tomorrow night:

Edmonton at Colorado, root for Avs
St. Louis at Vancouver, root for Canucks
Nashville at San Jose, root for San Jose I guess but they never win.

without the loser point we'd be in the playoffs

Nashville at San Jose, root for San Jose I guess but they never win.

This thread has been nothing but bad luck, although the way the Ducks are playing has a lot to do with that too. It's a reflection of how this season has gone.

without the loser point we'd be in the playoffs

Well, sort of. We'd still have a crapload of teams to jump. The team that suffers most from the loser point is the Avalanche.

Tonight is huge -- to say the least.

They're all huge until we're eliminated.

Nashville and Edmonton are tied for 7th with 77 points, Ducks are 3 back with a game in hand on Nashville and a h2h with the Predators next week.

Must beat Phoenix Sunday first, and we also have a game vs Edmonton, we win these 3 we SHOULD be in the top 8..

Bobby Ryan will carry this team to the promise land

Tomorrow night looks stacked in our favor as far as match-ups go, too bad it doesnt mean anything.

St. Louis at Calgary, root for the Flames, Blues on the 2nd game of a back to back.
Edmonton at Chicago, root for the Hawks, Edmonton on 2nd game of back to back as well.
Minnesota at New Jersey, root for the Devils. Match up of the hottest team versus quite possibly the coldest.

Also of note: LA at Pittsburgh. Kings are only four points back with a game in hand, cant count them out yet.

Hawks have been terrible lately I don't like our chances there.

Hawks have been terrible lately I don't like our chances there.

With Edmonton high off the 8-1 win tonight I dont think they will either.

Minnie lost to New Jersey (4-0) so that is good. Chicago and Edmonton are tied 4-4 right now and Calgary is leading St. Louis 2-1. Come on Chicago. Maybe Sami can help us out a bit.

I turned the game on to see the Blues score twice in less than 30 seconds. Edmonton has been outplayed but somehow led most of the game...

Edmonton always gets to Overtime, oh well we can't really worry about other teams, if the ducks handle their business they should make it

Don't worry about Edmonton. We play them twice in the next few weeks.

Don't worry about Edmonton. We play them twice in the next few weeks.
And Nashville next week, plus Colorado twice and Phoenix, needless to say the ducks need to win out this upcoming week

I think the Blues are going to make the playoffs, just an unreal run for them here down the stretch.
