For the love of all things holy....NO STONER!

 

[Teemu Salami]

Ducks vs Old Jets

 

[AngelDuck]

Getzlaf is playing

Hope Kesler and Perry both don't

 

[navyduck]

Who would you rather face, Winnipeg, or Calgary?

 

[Sojourn]

Calgary, but we can't meet them in Round 1.

 

[AngelDuck]

Who would you rather face, Winnipeg, or Calgary?

It's between Minnesota and Winnipeg

Tough choice

 

[Opak]

It's between Minnesota and Winnipeg

Tough choice

I think we have an outside chance of getting Chicago too.

 

[AngelDuck]

I think we have an outside chance of getting Chicago too.

Yeah but for me that's an easy choice: Avoid them at all costs.

Seriously, Chicago in the first round would be a disaster matchup. Not because we'd for sure lose, but because it would probably go 7 and we'd probably be banged up after it

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I think we have an outside chance of getting Chicago too.

Yep.

Minny wins in OT/SO.
Chicago loses in regulation.
We lose in regulation.

 

[Paul4587]

It's between Minnesota and Winnipeg

Tough choice

I'd probably lean towards Minnesota. Winnipeg is more likely to bang us up and if we advance we'll likely do so with injuries.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Smith is in. Doan is probable, so an injury to a key Duck is probable.

 

[ScarTroy]

Either is gonna be a great series. I feel like both are just as tough as the other, but I think I feel more comfortable playing the jets. Pavs has been good down the stretch but I don't see that holding up. Either way I'm just pumped for more playoff hockey.

 

[NEWFowler]

Gibson hurt, great. Hopefully BB isn't dumb enough to play Andersen tonight. If we go into the playoffs with Labarbera as our starter I will jump off the nearest bridge.

 

[KingJoffrey]

Gibson hurt, great. Hopefully BB isn't dumb enough to play Andersen tonight. If we go into the playoffs with Labarbera as our starter I will jump off the nearest bridge.

I rather play Andersen and let him get ready for playoffs. After all he's got so few games in this year.

 

[anezthes]

Smith is in. Doan is probable, so an injury to a key Duck is probable.

My thoughts/concern as well.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Gibson hurt, great. Hopefully BB isn't dumb enough to play Andersen tonight. If we go into the playoffs with Labarbera as our starter I will jump off the nearest bridge.

Andersen should play tonight...

 

[NEWFowler]

Andersen should play tonight...

And if he gets hurt?

[Teemu Salami]

Is Ricky hurt?

 

[Getzmonster]

So Rakell is getting a rest day?

 

[ShadowDuck]

Please lose, I want the Wild

 

[Ducks Nation*]

And if he gets hurt?

Rest everyone in that case and let the fans play...we need to get in rhythm before playoffs and he's our starting goalie.

 

[TheGoodShepard]

3-1 Blues at the end of 2 periods.

This shouldn't be that big of a deal, but if the Ducks can't beat the Coyotes tonight, we have very big problems.

 

[AngelDuck]

Wisniewski being out again does not make me comfortable about his injury situation
