Why be IN ENGLISH!?

Why be IN ENGLISH!?

We ran out of languages to use

 

[kducks]

The flu is no excuse! Good teams find a way to overcome illness!

 

[HanSolo]

Can Getzlaf just be healthy? Pretty please?!?

 

[Ducks DVM]

The important thing is, we need to decide on the scapegoat early, to help with the drinking game. My money is on Sojourn.

Go Auks!

OT but correct topic is locked: did teemu drop gloves last night with Gudas or not?

 

[mightyquack]

We'll lose this. I reckon the flu is affecting a lot more players then just Perry/Palms/Hiller, can see from the energy levels as well.

 

[Kalv]

Let`s go, Flu-aheim Ducks, let`s win this!

I dont think so. Etem talked with Gudas but that was not really even worth of Roughing penalties imo. I guess Teemu got the penalty Etem was supposed to get. Unless something else happened which was wasnt shown but based on Teemu's reaction he was pretty clueless also. Gudas' extra was for holding against Teemu, which happened after the Gudas hit on Selanne and before the interaction between Etem and Gudas

 

[Nonvolition]

Is Fasth expected to start tonight?

 

[Ducks Ahoy]

Is Fasth expected to start tonight?

We aren't quite sure. Hiller had a rough game last night, although it wasn't all his fault.

I would think Fasth would start tonight.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Yeah, this will be another bad loss. The team that doesn't have an injury is clearly crippled by the flu. I felt bad for Perry last night, he just had nothing to give.

 

[Ducksforcup]

All signs point to another loss...let's see if they prove us wrong and gut it out.

 

[DarthYenik]

May I just, once again request that we don't make a single post in the Carolina forum, or NHL forum about the Ducks having the flu. I tried to warn you of the crap we'd get last night, but I wasn't insistent enough.

People don't want to hear that they got an automatic win, when they want that win to be a statement. Especially when that statement is, "We can win even without our best player."

On top of that, I think they may be brainwashed by their commentators. It's not a fair argument if one side lacks logic.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Or more #youthmovement


LoL

 

[AngelDuck]

Play Fasth today..

 

[snarktacular]

All I want is a point. Just one would be enough.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

What the hell is with all this "woe is me" crap? Don't make me bring out the Boudreau speech.

"Have a seat for a second. Look it, I have never seen a bunch of guys look so ****ing down when something bad happens. What are you guys? Like prima donna perfect that if you can't ****in' handle adversity?".....

Ducks 4-1.

 

[kducks]

Time for the ketchup Teemu

 

[rollingdux]

Haha... Eddie Shack

Bruce and the guys made a good point. This is the first time I've seen them totally deflated after a goal went in. They just couldn't find the energy last night. Not surprised but glad they realize that they were not playing their typical game. Play hard and they have a chance every night no matter the score.

F-bomb count aside (not that I don't enjoy it), I loved that speech.

But as I type this, another great speech is on TV...



And that video linked to this video...

(MOD - Bluto's speech is NSFW - I've tried to find a usable one myself that is to no avail )

My point is, it just doesn't matter that the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, because we're Americans. Gracias.

 

[kducks]

See we have tall goalies too

The pics Adam Brady is posting on twitter are just gold

 

[George Binks]

rebound game ducks take it 4-2

 

[Tecumseh]

I would have liked to see Freddy start in this game. Might have been interesting. Oh well.
