Sorry about typos above

Unforgivable.

 

[snarktacular]

I haven't seen much game time. I'm finally about recovered from time zone shift so I'll be watching more games now.

DSP looked much improved in the portion of the Bruins game I caught. I've been pretty hard on him, but he actually looked like a positive contributor. I have felt that his "impressive" rookie season he was really just net even. Then in the sophomore slump he was a minus. So it's good that he's bounced back.

Perry looks like he's back. I didn't really doubt him, but it's still good to see.

Penner has been much better than I expected. Still not consistent, but generally also a net positive.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Teemu Selanne.

 

[HanSolo]

How unreal has Bruce Boudreau been for this team since we hired him? Favorite coach in the league.

I remember hearing his winning percentage is one of the best of all active coaches.

bryan allens bouceback has been nothing short of relieving

I was one of his harsher critics last year but this year I don't really have anything to complain about. A blunder here and there but nothing game breaking.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Lindholm looks like a 10 year vet out there. Terrific pick.
Finding MP22 for chump change, great move by BM.
Allen looking like the guy we thought we signed.
The Rev continuing to look like he's underpaid.
Fowler becoming very solid in his own end.

I'M SO EXCITED!

 

[c4rcy]

Fowler - Even though the points aren't there, showing he can handle all types of duty with the highest average TOI per game

Allen - +10, has looked great with Vatanen, a gigantic improvement from last year

The youngins - DSP, Holland, Etem, Silfverberg, Lindholm, Vatanen, (even Fowler) have all impressed in short time.

Magnus the Hampusholm - What a stud. He makes that extra cheeky play that not many people do or think about in this league to turn breakouts into offensive rushes.

Penner - Really looking like the player we hoped to get back, +12, leading the LEAGUE in +/-

Getz/Perz - These two starting hot has undoubtedly put us where we are in the standings.

MP22 - Unbelievable move by BM. Stole him from GMGM for scraps, and has turned out to quite the player. Shows high level of play with every type of player.

Andersen - 3-0 in 3 games, making it look easy while doing it.

 

[JabbaJabba]

People here have learnt how to write Vatanen.

 

[camshaft]

Even the national press is starting to recognize how good the Ducks are. Pierre McGuire says that they are the quickest team in the league. He says not only in skating speed, but they play very fast. McGuire says they are one of the best teams in the league and that they are really good.

 

[camshaft]

Wow! Pierre McGuire is really impressed with the Ducks. He says that they are Fast, Furious and Fun to watch. He encourages everyone to keep an eye on the Ducks.

 

[HanSolo]

Engblom said this about Andersen: I kept looking for holes in his game and I just couldn't find any.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Shifts like this (which I have seen a lot of thus far) just make me so happy...

 

[AngelDuck]

Corey Pronman ‏@coreypronman 16s
Ducks are very good, have had 9 players 24 or under play this year, key F's locked up, and have several top-end prospects in pipeline.

Pronman

 

[Mr Rogers]

Rakell can straight up ball. I really think he's gonna be a player for the Ducks.

 

[HanSolo]

@Buccigross

Wow, Anaheim Ducks are good. Getzlaf and Perry are jewels. Hands, reach, jam. Too bad they aren't seen more. A definite Stanley Cup threat.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Penner's on pace for a +108.

 

[Bender66]

Penner's on pace for a +108.

Just because he's a little husky doesn't mean you have to call out his weight gain issues in front of everyone ...

 

[snarktacular]

Husky like a UConn grad.

(I just now realized that they are probably the Huskies because UConn sounds like Yukon. I'm slow.)

edit: And now looking it up it turns out to just be a huge coincidence. They were the Huskies 5-6 years before changing the school name to Univ of Conn.

 

[mightyquack]

Fasth has a really nice haircut

Getzlaf finally shaved it

 

[camshaft]

We can no longer accuse Penner of being lazy

 

[12ozPapa]

This may sound odd, but a huge positive is that we are winning consistently and with some of the worst penalty kill and the absolute worst powerplay. Of course, we'd all prefer both to be firing on all cylinders, but to be winning, and winning a lot, in this league with both doing so terribly is quite a sight. Shows how truly talented and hard working this team is.

Also, I've always been one of DSP's, Allen's, Maroon's and Penner's harshest critics. I can HAPPILY say, they have all made me eat crow. So happy to admit it to. I said I'd admit if I were wrong on here, so I am. I really hope they all can continue their great play. I still feel Penner has another level he could get to, so let's hope for that.

 

[Paul4587]

Getzlaf finally shaved it

He did but the ring of hair around the back of his head has grown back. He needs to groom that **** daily.

Pregame ritual?

 

[PuqTalk]

Bob Murray has put together a team of warriors that simply will not say 'no.'

 

[rollingdux]

All this attention means Ducks will go on a losing streak....

*Looks at thread title....

I mean plan the parade!

 

[mightyquack]

Didn't notice that, he better cut it if it's growing back, nothing worse then that ring on the back while being bald on the top, see it too many times in every day life

Pregame ritual?

I could just see the whole team surrounding Getzlaf, then Perry is starts to shave it. All the while they are chanting in a low, deep voice. Don't horror movies start someway like this?
