Watched Sharks @ Flames yesterday.

Flames started strong - they were almost dominant in the 1st period, then they played bad as hell, let in 3 goals. They were little dangerous at the end, until they took stupid penalties and let in another.

First 3 goals Sharks scored in front of the net, because the Flames didn`t covered that spot much.

And, yes, they played yesterday, so let`s go Ducks!

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Go Ducks Go. Beleskey-Holland-Rakell/DSP please.

 

[Kalv]

It may be a possibility that Ducks try Rakell also on wing, before making the final decision.


Anyway, i`m interested how`ll Fowler look. He might be not recovered fully. He said he feels better, but he`s not completely healthy as flu take more than 1 game to recover. I suppose he`ll be fully recovered in next game - Home Opener.

 

[SugarSherm]

Another game I'm going to be following on my phone and watching when I get off work which its gonna be like that for me all season. Either way still excited for all Ducks games and just glad hockey is back.

 

[Pepper]

I smell a huge letdown after a great first game.

And I hope I'm totally wrong.

 

[Exit Dose]

I don't think it will be a total letdown, but I don't think we're going to win.

Ya id say they were pretty dominant... idk if that was san jose missing burns or what.... but i was happy after the first... then the rest of the game came :|

Excited to see fowler and holland play... and hopin we try rakell as a wing on the 4th line before we make our decision.

Hope the 2nd line finds some chemistry also

 

[Kalv]

Against Calgary, Ducks have the most fighting majors in a franchise history.

I doubt someone will drop the glowes tonight, though.

Let`s win this!

 

[getzforfighting*]

i dont expect a let down at all. we will keep chugging through these guys

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Ya i dont see us having very many fighting majors this year... who do we even have that can drop the gloves still?

Sbisa/belesky are really the only willing customers unless PL3 or Staubitz is in the game.

Beauch, Allen and Souray will drope the glowes too, if needed, but they might as well play this season without any fighting majors. They`ll drop it only if something HUGE is going on there

And Sbisa too, i think.

Beleskey is our ''most likely'' fighter with this lineup

 

[Pepper]

I hope Beauch & Souray don't have to drop the gloves, Souray broke his wrist the last time he fought.

 

[Quack Shot]

Most important game of the season so far! Lets win this!

 

[5minsforfighting]

I believe we will not see much fights this season. In Vancouver game Sbisa rejected Weise, but it was already 7-3 then, so not much reason for Sbisa to drop them.
Anyhow I hope Staubitz or PL3 will see some regular games.

We will go without enforcer till somebody from opponent team runs over someone and BB will send Belesky to police

 

[Kalv]

Sbisa is actually a pretty good fighter. He`s not an enforcer, and have fought only a middlewweights like him, but he ussually takes the win.

His upper body is pretty strong, i think he built that up when he had the lower body injury in the 1st (?) year here.

Anyway, we`re in trouble if someone puts a heavyweight against us. How are other west teams situation with them? I think other teams also will choose to go with middleweights

 

[quentez]

Hope to see Rakell play again. Either at C or on the wing.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Hey ho, lets go!

 

[justy303]

Hey ho, lets go!

This!

Are you too getting up at 4 am to watch the game?

 

[maplehawk]

Fasth recalled, Andersen assigned as expected.

 

[JabbaJabba]

This!

Are you too getting up at 4 am to watch the game?

Not this time, lecture starts at 9am and I'm not going to make it if I wake up so early . Have to record it and watch it after my lecture is over.

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Will be sure to be home from work by 8:00 to watch this one. I just want the same effort as Saturday night and I can deal with whatever the result is. GO DUCKS!

I don't think it will be a total letdown, but I don't think we're going to win.

Didn't you say that about the Canucks game?
