No TV. No Kunitz. No Whitney.

Anaheim wins penalties 6-3.

Anyone have a link?

So, I predict Morrison will have another Excellent game tonight. As usual we won't be seeing it though.

Boston broadcast team said Whitney is in the lineup.

myp2p.eu has a decent sopcast stream.

Whitney paired with Pronger in the opening faceoff.

Whitney is playing, wearing #19.

Whitney is playing, wearing #19.

Sure is. I was wondering why he wasnt since he has been in Boston since yesterday.

We won a faceoff! Sign of good things to come.

Morrison gives it away sending Boston in alone, Hedican gets back and breaks up a 2-0.

So, are you guys at work? Or just hanging out at home.

Montador is playing forward tonight.

Not seeing a link on there...

Montador plays forward, Hedican defense. Wrong, Randy, wrong.

Rob Niedermayer playing with Getzlaf and Perry....hmm...

Not seeing a link on there...

I'm not seeing a link either... can someone pm me please?

Whitney with his first giveaway, right up the middle of the ice. I think he looks fine so far though.

that was quick thanks.

Wow, it looks like we have the shot advantage so far...

that was quick thanks.

Hey, how do you open the stream link?

Who is Bobby Allen?

Well we look just as bad as usual. Cant break the zone at all, get beat along the edges, take a penalty. Rinse and repeat.

Great PK so far.

Whitney's 1st fight as a Duck will be with RC. :)

Perry in head-in-ass mode. Wake the **** up.

Hey, how do you open the stream link?

Download a program called Sopcast and then follow the instructions on the 1st post of the thread i linked to use VLC.

Hey, how do you open the stream link?

Click on that sopcast thing... then i think there is something you may have to DL I think I did it a long time ago... there should be directions on that site... maybe not though... log into the thing as anonymous that's what I did. Sorry if that makes no sense.

The NHL hit atdhe(dot)net with a cease and desist letter.
No more NHL streaming there.

Great play by Brookbank to block that shot. Why is Mikkelson playing? Salcido in the one game I saw him in was much better.

Mikkelsson and Brookbank full of win that shift again.

Thanks, you're a lifesaver...didn't have access to TV and Center Ice

The NHL hit atdhe(dot)net with a cease and desist letter.

They're going to try and push the whole 100 dollar a year for Center Ice joke. No wonder the sport is going to cease and desist as well.

Anaheim needs better dump-ins, Thomas is getting to way too many of them.

Murray is out shopping for forwards ...

Need shots on the ppl....too much dicking around.

My stream just went to s h i t

Good zone time, not enough shots.

My stream just came back to a Bruin goal..:cry:

Bad goal on Giguere, he wasnt square. Anaheim is hitting so far, but the defensive zone once again leaves much to be desired.

Four shots against and we are down. Giguere needs to get us out of that period tied at least.

pitt fan here just wondering how whitney looks.

Anaheim is hitting so far, but the defensive zone once again leaves much to be desired.


So if we miss the playoffs, I think we should ask Whitney to go on the LTIR and have his surgery asap. I hate thinking about another summer surgery that streches poor play through camp and into the season. Let some of the youngsters get some NHL experience. Just a thought.

pitt fan here just wondering how whitney looks.

He looks fine, playing with Pronger so far.

are you guys watching it on the channel 36451 or that other one? Mines not working anymore.

i cant get it to work anymore either

36451 here and working so far..

so how did the Bruins go from crap to one of the best teams in the NHL in two seasons?

Ryder scores 2-0
Parros v. Chara upcoming?

3-0 Yikes
Hiller coming into game - bye bye JSG - Thanks for coming.

I finally got my stream to work. Hurrah! Ducks down 0-2. Doh! Thanks everyone.

Giguere :shakehead:shakehead. Pulled again.

Was it the defense being crappy again or Giguere letting in easy goals?

Rob on the ice for all three goals against - oops
Keep speed dialing Murray ..

geez....3-0. This team is a mess. Get on the phones Murray!!

man, this team sucks. SELL! SELL! SELL!
trade pronger AND niedermayer. i know anaheim could get a lot for each one.

geez....3-0. This team is a mess. Get on the phones Murray!!

He is on the phones, forward shopping.
Of course, Whitney took a month. :nod:

Anaheim has had better chances and yet is losing by three...that should give you an idea on giguere's play. It's really disappointing that he was that bad in such a huge game.

Was it the defense being crappy again or Giguere letting in easy goals?Giggy was beat with shots for all 3 goals. Defence played well enough.

:fight: Parros v. Thornton
Jerseys not tied down?
Even fight.

:fight: Parros v. Thornton
Jerseys not tied down?

Pens fan here. I tuned in to see a little Whitney while he's on the East Coast just in time for this. Nice battle there.

Whitney is silky-smooth as always carrying the puck. You'll be amazed that he never, ever looks at the puck.

Good fight. I liked Thornton when he was a duck. I am a little more impressed by montador more and more every game.

Looks like Scott and Rob have the wrong kind of hat tricks tonight, the good ole -3.

You'll be amazed that he never, ever looks at the puck.

Neither does Giguere :laugh:
Thanks for the insight.

Hedican hurt? yikes ..
Into dressing room.

you know it's bad when Shane Hnidy looks better than half our defense.

We can't buy a goal.

Brown fights ...
Big bruhahaha :fight:

Lucic is a punk - he's going get it for the cheap shot on Brown.

Wow, what a b i t c h Lucic is.

very unclassy by Lucic...

Lets get ready to rumble. Season is over. We got nothing to play for anymore.

Lets get ready to rumble. Season is over. We got nothing to play for anymore.

RC can only redeem himself by tossing all the sticks on the ice. :yo:

Brown 2-5-10 misconduct :naughty: Nice job.

Scott drops gloves with Savard ... falls over ... :handclap:

Go Scotty!

What a ****ing joke, Lucic taking full shots at Brown when he's on the ground, and of course we get the extra penalty somehow.

Now Niedermayer and Savard. Prepare for fireworks folks. I feel bad for anyone who can't watch this game.

Refs plan to stop the violence - Just give Ducks a **** load of penalties til this game is way out of reach.

this game does not equal the season

Score 4-0 - Nice play NitWhit

Other than the score this game is awesome. **** its 4-0 now.

With how sad this season has gone, I just can't see Scotty retiring.

game, set, SEASON!

Regardless of the score, I hope this game keeps being chippy, it at least makes things interesting. Another Boston goal.

Regardless of the score, I hope this game keeps being chippy, it at least makes things interesting. Another Boston goal.

Refs will ruin it by warning the teams during the period break; lame, I know.

Lol this league is a ****ing joke.

No the NHL does not have some type of vendetta against this team :sarcasm:

Nice emotion from Georgie.. working Wideman and Chara over.

Score 5-0 quack quack ..
Throw the sticks !!!

Parros Pissed ..

refs have already ruined it by throwing Brookbank and Brown out of the game

This team is a lost cause at the moment. It seems that we can do no right.

Give the Bruins some credit. They play like we used to a few years ago.

Someone on Boston better get injured in the 3rd.

Nice welcome for Whitney. :laugh: I wonder what he is thinking right now.

Nice welcome for Whitney. :laugh: I wonder what he is thinking right now.

Was my plane ticket a round way trip?

Give the Bruins some credit. They play like we used to a few years ago.

Other than the Lucic BS I love the way Boston plays.

Refs on the other hand......

I figured the frustration has to boil over sometime, i guess this is the time. Boston is a great team that plays really well, they are just a lot better than us at this point.

Given our roster, management and coaching staff - there was no way we could win this game tonight. Let's just blame Whitney and move on ... ;)

Mikkelson looks like a future Norris winner in this game :yo:

Nice welcome for Whitney. :laugh: I wonder what he is thinking right now.

Should have bought Sid a better Christmas present ..

If we beat a crippled Dallas team and Chicago who we've beaten it will be a 4-2 road trip. Lets save doom and gloom till then

As a pen's fan, watching this game makes me like the whits/kunitz trade more and more.

Thanks.

No problem...you just have to put up with the Boston annoucers

At least Parros has played a good game.

I hope Lucic broke his hand. I also hope he becomes a duck at some point :).

Is Bobby Ryan being triple shifted lol?

Weird seeing Whitney in the number 19 :(

At least Parros has played a good game.



I still can't believe that Parros is establishing a nice NHL career for himself....he's one of my old teammates.

In his Jr hockey days, he was all about skill and wanted nothing to do with physical play. It's great to see him pan out as he has.

Weird seeing Whitney in the number 19 :(

Who used to wear 19?

As a pen's fan, watching this game makes me like the whits/kunitz trade more and more.

Why? Whitney's played well, he even has an even +/-!

Who used to wear 19?

Andy Mac

Andy Mac

ah...that's right. It's nuts to see how many guys from the cup year are getting moved and will be gone in a few months to free agency.

So it goes with the modern cap era.

Thornton to Pronger, "Here I come unit!" Pronger sidesteps. Thornton, "hahaha".

I miss Thornton.

This has been a snoozefest so far in the third. A little emotion wold be nice, we're being flat out embarrassed.

ugh...

Is there a mercy rule?

:laugh: Bostons a good team. I hope they do well. Plus, they are helping out our sell wagon.

Is there a mercy rule?

Ducks wouldn't qualify. 6-0
Maybe RC should mix up the lines. :sarcasm:

Announcer mistook Scott for Rob....really? They aren't even close lol

:laugh: Bostons a good team. I hope they do well. Plus, they are helping out our sell wagon.

Well put.

Announcer mistook Scott for Rob....really? They aren't even close lol

This announcer thought Wheeler was Kessel, I wouldn't expect much.

Well put.

Maybe now, they feel sorry for us and give us Bergeron + for Pronger!

Why? Whitney's played well, he even has an even +/-!

Just seeing him on the wrong end of routing is an all too familiar feeling.

In all honesty though, Whitney could turn things around for himself in Anaheim. The guy's upside is still tremendous.

He was getting asked to do too much for the Pens when he returned from injury. He isn't ready to be the #1 Offensive Dman and PP quarterback yet as the Pens needed him to be. With Nieds and/or Pronger at his side, Whitney is in a comfortable position, which could get things going for him again (the new scenery won't hurt either).

I can see him having many 50+ point seasons (along with being defensively responsible) if he can get his act back together, and I believe Anaheim's organization is one of the best places for that to happen.

Ducks lose.
Welcome aboard Whitney. :)
Move on. Forget it.

Shutout :handclap:!

Other than the Lucic crap, good game by Boston. They showed Anaheim what they used to play like.

Why? Whitney's played well, he even has an even +/-!
Whitney seemed fine from what I saw.

Saviormayer meanwhile posted his second -4 game in the last 6.

Wow that sucked..I'm off to my ellpitical to work off some of this frustration from the day. :cry:

Saviormayer meanwhile posted his second -4 game in the last 6.
Trade his ass to NJ. He was ****ing brutal. again.

Whitney seemed fine from what I saw.

Saviormayer meanwhile posted his second -4 game in the last 6.

I've never seen Nieds more frustrated than he has been the last few games, possibly because he's never been on a losing team.

Our owner is going to jail.

Our GM bailed.

Our coach has lost the room.

Our best players suck.

Our worst players really suck.

Welcome to Anaheim, Ryan Whitney!

on a positive note.... Whitney had a good plus minus rating

Our owner is going to jail.

Welcome to Anaheim, Ryan Whitney!

And his mom is sick. :(
Best wishes to his mom, this is a tough time for Ryan.

We obviously just need more Ryans.

Ryane Clowe, Ryan Miller...Mike Van Ryn.

Pronger for Ryan Kesler and Nieds for Ryan Malone oughta do the trick. Definitely need to get Joey Ryan as well.

So Ryan "Soff" Whiney looked OK? And somehow he was a +/- 0? Maybe I was wrong.

So Ryan "Soff" Whiney looked OK? And somehow he was a +/- 0? Maybe I was wrong.
I watched about two thirds of the third period. But he looked more than okay, he looked good.

Glad I left for work when I did, sounds like it only got worse.

Someone on Boston better get injured in the 3rd.

Nice! :shakehead

Nice! :shakehead

:rant:

im so glad bob decided that we are going to sell becasue it is pretty apparent this team is going nowhere. and even if we did squeek into the playoffs thats the caliber wed have to play in the first round and we just saw how ugly that was

Nice! :shakehead
:shakehead:shakehead:shakehead
:rant:

This game sucked ass. Not just because of the score, but because of the way things kept going. I mean talk about getting the bounces... Jiggy and Hiller were bad, but Hiller was much worse. A couple of those goals were weird deflections. Mikkelsson actually deflected the puck into our own net.

The Ducks didn't deserve to win this game by any means, but it wasn't dominated by the Bruins like the score suggests. Thomas played great.

Hedican is g o d a w f u l. Seriously why he is he still on the team? Why do we sit Salcido after two good games?

Getzlaf looks really tired.

I'm also starting to fall off the Carter bandwagon. He just makes so many stupid little mistakes. Like he stole the puck from someone and skated right into his own teammate and gave the puck up. Still better then Morrison though. Please for the love of god, trade Morrison at the deadline.

Getzlaf looks really tired.



Yeah Getzlaf only has 8 points in his last 11 games which isn't terrible but when you consider 3 of the points were in a 4-3 losing effort to the kings he hasn't been that great.

I'd like to think if the top line had played a little better during the last stretch of games we might be sitting in a playoff spot right now.

Honestly WTF.

-Niedermayer on the top line?
-Salcido scratched?
-Hedican getting any ice time at all?
-Montador playing forward when he has been one of our best blueliners all year?

Carlyle and Murray need to go, pronto.

So Ryan "Soff" Whiney looked OK? And somehow he was a +/- 0? Maybe I was wrong.

You're definitely not "wrong" after one game. I think there's a good chance you'll be proven wrong eventually, but not after one game.

That said, he did look awful good in the short bit of the game that I saw. His smoothness with the puck makes our defenders 3-7 look like rabid mice when they have the puck. I didn't see many defensive mistakes, but I didn't see much of the game.

Honestly WTF.

-Niedermayer on the top line? Who would you prefer? Someone has to take that spot, and he seems as good a pick as any.
-Salcido scratched? Boston is a big, tough team...I don't have a problem dressing the veteran Hedican or the toughie Brookbank over Salcido.
-Hedican getting any ice time at all? He's struggled, I admit, but I'd still rather have him int he lineup last night than Salcido.
-Montador playing forward when he has been one of our best blueliners all year? Montador has a history of playing forward. Part of the reason the team signed him was his versatility moving back and forth, from the blueline to forward. That situation is tailor made for him moving up

Carlyle and Murray need to go, pronto.

Carlyle, perhaps but unlikely. If you're pining for Murray to be let go, you're going to be unhappy for a quite a while.

Who was Whitney paired with during the game?

Who was Whitney paired with during the game?

Pronger.

Please for the love of god, trade Morrison at the deadline.

I think we'd have to give someone good + Morrison for future considerations to get a team to take him. So I'd rather him just suck out the last days of his contract here.

His smoothness with the puck makes our defenders 3-7 look like rabid mice when they have the puck.

This.

I can see where he might get the team in trouble the way he likes to avoid contact, but he made some great long breakout passes.

Honestly WTF.

Carlyle, perhaps but unlikely. If you're pining for Murray to be let go, you're going to be unhappy for a quite a while.

1. Just about anyone else would've been a better option to play alongside Getzlaf and Perry. Regular season Nieds is lazy. That line needs someone that is at least willing to throw the body around and free up some space for the twins. Nieds is NOT a good choice. I realize that the options are limited right now but honestly even Morrison has been able to produce in limited time with Getzlaf and Perry.

2. So because Boston is a "tough team", you're arguing for Hedican being dressed? What about Hedican makes him a good option against a physical team like the Bruins? Salcido has been rock solid since his recall, whereas Hedican has been complete garbage all season long.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Hedican was out due to injury. So you would argue that inserting him back into the lineup against a physical team is a good choice?

3. Like I mentioned above, why move Montador up to the wing against a tough team like Boston? On defense Montador is our most physical defender and he has played like a true second pairing d-man all season long. When you move Montador up that leaves extra minutes for the "physically imposing" Mikkelson and Hedican. I know that Montador has played a utility role in the past but he's beyond that stage in his career now. He has proven himself as a more than capable defender in this league.

I know that Murray isn't going anywhere for the time being but IMO Carlyle's time is up in Anaheim.

I agree about Hedican, I think he's been completely useless. I'd rather see Salcido any day.

Hedican should be dealt at the deadline reguardless of what this team does. Someone will want him for their bottom pairing for sure. Same goes for Morrison IMO. I find it hard to believe that no one will want him for a 5th at the deadline.

I don't hate the decision to put Nieds on the top line last night, because like mentioned earlier, there aren't many options. I'd rather have him there then Morrison.

1. I strongly disagree, "anyone" isn't a better option. Rob's a smart, strong forward with good speed and can grind it out and work a cycle. That alone makes him a decent fit. I don't believe he's lazy, but whatever. How is Morrison a better fit as "someone that is at least willing to throw the body around and free up some space for the twins"?

2. Against good, tough teams coaches tend to look towards veterans who have experienced the battles. Hedican's a veteran who's played against the biggest and toughest. I don't think he's been particularly good, but I feel safer with him in a game like that than Salcido. I don't think he's been bad all year at all. I have an issue with his play more recently. As far as his injury goes, I don't know his condition, but if he checks out clear I have no reason to dispute it. I don't think dressing him over Salcido really made a difference in the game, and if it were the other way around, I wouldn't really care.

3. It's not a matter of "proving himself as a being more capable" than a utility player. He does an adept job at both positions. That's relatively rare. With Kunitz gone and Whitney in the lineup, what other options are there? That's an honest question, because I can't think of an extra forward that travels with the club right now.

1. I was simply saying that Morrison was able to produce to a certain extent with Getzlaf and Perry, not that he is an ideal (at all) player for that line. Niedermayer is damn near useless if he's not playing a checking line role. I personally would've rather seen Ryan playing on the top line with Marchant sliding onto the wing for the second line.

2. I have a problem with that logic. Hedican may be a veteran but he has been crap all season and his play seems to decline in every game. Combine that with his recent bout of back spasms and I see ABSOLUTELY no reason to sit Salcido in favor of Hedican. Besides the whole "crafty veteran" argument what else is there in this case? Salcido is by far the better player, PERIOD.

3. Montador is more than adept on D and less than adept at forward. Why compromise his value on D by moving into a 4th line role? The fact that there was no extra forward traveling with the team is a managerial issue. Miller was recalled today, not sure why that couldn't have happened before the game yesterday. Even with that being the case, it's never the end of the world playing a game with 11 dressed forwards.

Hedican's been declining from crap since day 1? He started out as crap and is like the white, crumbly crap now?

1. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one, I see no reason at all to break up the second line. I think it was Spanky that made the point in another thread, Getzlaf and Perry can create offense on their own. R. Niedermayer is as good a fit as anyone else on the roster for their tag-along. But, then again, I've never gotten caught up in the whole "Rob Niedermayer is lazy and useless" idea.

2. I've seen little that makes me think Salcido is a better player than Hedican, aside from him being younger and having a cooler name, PERIOD. Certainly not "BY FAR". Again, will have to agree to disagree, since there's very little tangible to base an argument on. I think Hedican is OK defensively, you don't.

3. I really don't want to get into an argument over the logistics between a minor league club and their parent team. There are any number of reasons that Miller was not able to make it up with the Ducks in time for that game. I think you overvalue Montador a bit as a defenseman. He's a good bottom-pairing guy. I don't see how it makes any sense to leave a hole in the roster when you have a guy who has filled it quite well in the past. I see Montador as being much more replaceable on the blue line than you do.

Hedican's been declining from crap since day 1? He started out as crap and is like the white, crumbly crap now?

I remember thinking that he was a steal of an acquision for a while. He might be crappy now, but I don't think that's always been the case. If Murray can get anything in return for him, he should be dealt.

He was a steal early on. He's had some hiccups lately but I think he's been far from crap.

There's talk on the mainboard about Pronger and Moen already being dealt to Boston for Stuart, Colbert and 2010 1st.

The deal isn't to finalize until the deadline due to the cap issue.

Just thought I'd pass this along.

Edit: Nm, Colborne. Wonder who the extra roster player would be.

Unless the roster player they add is someone substantial then Boston is screwing us in that trade. Colborne has the potential to be pretty good but is no where near ready and Stuart is another no 5-6 dman, don't we already have 1000 of those?

If, however the added roster player is Bergeron or Kessel then I would take it in a heartbeat.

OMFG. Just finished watching the highlights. Anyone that says Hayward is the biggest homer in the NHL has never listened to Jack Edwards. Holy ****. LOL

I think Bergeron has to be involved to make the numbers work for Boston.

Pronger + Moen for Bergeron, Stuart, Colborne, 1st

sounds pretty good to me!

I think it was Spanky that made the point in another thread, Getzlaf and Perry can create offense on their own. R. Niedermayer is as good a fit as anyone else on the roster for their tag-along. But, then again, I've never gotten caught up in the whole "Rob Niedermayer is lazy and useless" idea.

2. I've seen little that makes me think Salcido is a better player than Hedican, aside from him being younger and having a cooler name, PERIOD. Certainly not "BY FAR". Again, will have to agree to disagree, since there's very little tangible to base an argument on. I think Hedican is OK defensively, you don't.

3. I really don't want to get into an argument over the logistics between a minor league club and their parent team. There are any number of reasons that Miller was not able to make it up with the Ducks in time for that game. I think you overvalue Montador a bit as a defenseman. He's a good bottom-pairing guy. I don't see how it makes any sense to leave a hole in the roster when you have a guy who has filled it quite well in the past. I see Montador as being much more replaceable on the blue line than you do.



I remember thinking that he was a steal of an acquision for a while. He might be crappy now, but I don't think that's always been the case. If Murray can get anything in return for him, he should be dealt.

1. I don't care if you don't see it but when I watch Niedermayer play in the offensive zone he looks pretty damn lazy. And don't tell me that it's because of his long, careless looking stride. Like I said, he's pretty useless in any kind of offensive role -- he needs to be kept on the checking line if he is going to continue to play for this club.

2. I guess will will just have to agree to disagree then. I really don't see how you can be anywhere near content with Hedican's play in the last month or two though. Salcido showed that he is very capable of playing in the NHL in his brief stint with the big club and I'm excited to see what he can bring to the team next year.

3. I don't see a huge problem with getting Miller from Iowa to Boston in time for the game. The Ducks knew they were going to make a trade hours before it happened. That's enough time to get Miller on a plane to Boston. But, like I said, it's not a big deal playing a game with 11 forwards.

I couldn't find this anywhere else, so I figured I'd ask here. =) What are your lines now since the Kunitz trade?

Drew Miller (don't worry, you don't know him) took his spot on the top line.
