Oh look, loss #6 coming right up. I'm not even upset about the losing, but I miss the first couple weeks where everyone looked like they were trying. At least it was entertaining to watch.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Our Mac will best their Mac today in the battle of the Mac Daddies!

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Our top line

Our 2nd line

 

[duckaroosky]

Still have to decide which disappointment to tune into tonight. Ducks or Chargers

 

[ducks8]

I'm going to assume Dostal gets the start today.

 

[Dirk316]

Hopefully they stop scratching Johnston

 

[Arthuros]

I can't wait!

Oh, actually, I can. Especially if Leo isn't playing.

Well that depends. Do you want heartbreak or beatdown? We know the Chargers will play it tight and choke at the end. The Ducks will just get pumped by the EDM PP if they take penalties.

I have a 2 screen setup so I'll be experiencing the joy of both.

There are easier ways to get your blood pressure up. Have some animal fries or something.

Is it too much to ask for 2 commanding wins that I know both teams are capable of?

Maybe I start with Ducks and if they get scored on first then go to Chargers.

You may not even miss the opening kickoff with that plan!

Chargers start @5:20
Ducks start @6pm (for some weird reason)

So you're saying Ducks are going to get scored on even before puck drop? I know Ducks suck right now but that's a whole new level.

 

[alsmiss94]

I just want them to come out strong. These god awful first periods where we're down two goals quickly are brutal

 

[Leonardo87]

I updated the lines, based on NHL.com projected line ups. So have no idea.

Bettman just announced the Ducks are being fined a goal at the start of tonight's game (will start the game down 1-0) due to the Corey Perry incident. Total punishment not final until the whole Perry incident is officially resolved. Film at 11:00.

 

[slippingsloth]

Wonder what odds are for first goal to ducks is

Corollary. Over under in games till ducks do score first

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Michigan beat Ohio state yesterday…. Which is my favorite thing in sports.

But I feel like Anaheim beating Edmonton always feels good

Anaheim being stripped of their 1st rounder and it's going to be given to Chitcago too. And because of the allegations, it'll be guaranteed to be 1st overall (refs will help ensure Ducks remain bottom 11). That leaves another year for them to win 1st overall again. It should help his favorite team cope with the negative publicity of the cover ups.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

So no Leo for sure?

 

[ScarTroy]

So no Leo for sure?

I don’t think it’s been announced, just assumed.

 

[la patineuse]

The Ducks only have one scoring line. Sad.

 

[lwvs84]

The Ducks only have one scoring line. Sad.

Not necessarily aimed at you, but if that "top" line (Killorn-Rico-Terry) actually work well together today, do you give them another chance? I assume Carlsson plays next game, that would put him between Jones and Silf. Weaker teammates, but guys that will give 100% and Silf is a smart player... just takes him a while to get where he needs to be. Jones isn't always in the right spot, but he gets to the spot he's in quick. When Z comes back, that gives us a lot more depth.

 

[pbgoalie]

IF
McDavid is his normal self. The speed with he a Draisatl will kill this team

Hoping for the first 5 game Ducks, but this game worries me

 

[Leonardo87]

Have to expect McDavid and Drai to get on the scoresheet, may need to score at least 4 goals in this one to have a chance. Can they? it’s possible with that team, but need to get more than one line going.
