If we don't get healthy it's almost going to be two AHL teams going against each other.

I darn well hope we get healthy for this game. Arizona with their injuries should be free points, and that's exactly what we need to cash in on in the Pacific this season. Don't get those and Edmonton and Calgary/San Jose/LA (whichever of them clicks this year) will leave us breathing dust.

Is Getz really hurt? Or is this like the NFL where the stars sit out preseason for the most part? Save for Eaves

This year I'm going to "try" to just enjoy the games and not get too worked up about the missed opportunities. Hopefully less yelling at the TV. Don't how long it will last, but I'm hoping I'll make it through the first homestand... lol.

This team is one of the few teams in the league with the depth on defense to not totally implode when missing two top 4 guys, luckily for us. I think we'll be fine

If there is anything we should have learned after the last two/three years is that a slow start is not a death sentence. Two years ago was the worst start I've ever seen as a Ducks' fan and it worked out relatively ok. I'm not worried.

This is true but nevertheless I'm expecting some crazy boring shit until January or so.

That's regular season for you. 82 games will always have its ups and downs. Sure it's great for us fans to finally see live hockey (not to mention that owners have coffers to fill), sure teams will be jockeying for position from the word go, and a good start off the gates is hardly meaningless and not to be downplayed. But regardless. The first half of the season is always going to be more or less exploratory, a hit-and-miss kind of an affair, during which players will be tuning on and off, and teams are looking for form and identity. The season really kicks off in February when the race for playoff position begins in earnest. I don't mind, I can live with that.

How has Larsson been doing? It seems like everytime I catach a game Megna is playing more and more. Has he 'jumped' over on the depth chart?
Megna being waiver eligible kind of gives him an automatic advantage. Larsson hasn't impressed enough to make up for that advantage, and that is not to say that he hasn't been fine.

Nice that means I get to watch them tonight. Anyone else going? Just so everyone knows it's a free game tonight at the Pond between the gulls and reign.
