Ducks @ Preds 10/9/03

Professor John Frink · 10-09-2003, 10:43 AM

I am coming out to say the Ducks go out and take this one 4-1. As I have said before, if I don't leave Sundays game with the Ducks having a 2-1 record you are going to have one pissed moderator.

Prediction: The Krog/Feds/Nieds experiment ends tonight a game too late.

umm.. Skrastins is an Av, and also, he does not score.

I predict Ducks take it 3-2.

Ducks: Federov (2), Niedermayer
Predators: Legwand, Hall

No way guys, JS is going to stay cold. This one's going to OT. Preds and Ducks tie 3-3.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 11:39 AM

He IS cold. Kariya was our best Predator killer. Hmm.

I say the Preds take this one 3-2.

In that case 3-0 Ducks is the final

Hello Gerber, Hello Mason

Chistov 3, Fedorov 1, Niedermayer 1, Salei 1, Lopul 1, Ozolinsh 1
Legwand 2, Walker 2, Tootoo 1, Timonen 1

I'm saying 3-2 Ducks. We still wont look very sharp but will play better in our own end. Preds have a paper thin D but Vokoun is a good netminder and will have to cover their mistakes. If the Ducks can draw some penalties I think we will score some PP goals. I'm just hoping for a better effort than last night.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:17 PM

Well, Gerbs is sharp. Too bad he's the only one.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:18 PM

Ozo with another backhand feed up the middle. What the hell?

Boogs, I am stuck at work late tonight I am going to need to get the details here from you.

SO far it doesn't sound to good.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:28 PM

Flashes of brilliance on the power play for the Ducks, and they just had a nice chance shorthanded. Vokoun and Gerber have both looked good. Ducks just easily killed a 2-man disadvantage.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:30 PM

Holmqvist took #18. He's in for Smirnov tonight. Big fella.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:31 PM

Vokoun just robbed Sykora for the second time, the first one came on the power play. The second line looks much better tonight, but we're still a bit frantic on defense. The Preds are fast.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:32 PM

Orszagh hit the post from the hash marks there. All alone.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:34 PM

Fedorov seems to have some purpose tonight, and the fourth line had a nice chance.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:38 PM

Krog's missed about 4 passes from Fedorov so far. I wonder if he (Feds) had really intellectualized Babcock's "superstars need to share themselves" comment before now. Oops.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 04:40 PM

Have I mentioned Gerber looks good? Because he does. Always set, no wierd rebounds, never seems to be wondering if he has the puck or not.

Kjellberg v2.0... the number fits.

thanks for the play by play boog, almost as good as watching it on tv

do you have the center ice package?

Yeah, I'm having a great time tonight.

Burnett once again drew his fights, while Todd Simpson beat the crap out of Scott Walker.
Walker landed a big hit on Simpson after the fight had ended and Simpson was trying to disengage. Simpson was then kicked out for not having his sweater tied down.
So once again we're down to 5 defensemen early.

The Ducks had some strangely quiescent spells but overall established their forecheck pretty well. Fedorov made a lot of noise but he's on his own. The second line's been good, Sykora's had two big chances that should've been goals and Prospal had some lesser chances. Rooch still doesn't look comfortable.

The defense warmed up a bit. Vishnevsky is annoyed at Walker and hopefully that will wake him up some.

Gerber looks very much on his game. If that idiot Koharski deigns to give us a couple more power plays we will score. It looks good.

That's it for the first.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 05:03 PM

I'm already tired of hearing about Tootoo being the first Inuit to play in the NHL.

I think the entire population of Nunavut is in attendance.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 05:04 PM

Hooray, the Canes tied it up. Welcome back, Cole.

Okay, I'll change the channel back now.

Spankatola Jamnuts · 10-09-2003, 05:08 PM

Hey, they're retiring Fuhr's jersey. I think he was a great goalie. Say what you want about offensive support, but he had zero defensive support. His reflexes are second only to maybe Hasek's.
