Did you know...In 1941, Nashville was granted the first FM license in the United States. Music City then became the first to enjoy static-free radio.

Go Ducks!

I'll guess Hiller gets the start, based on absolutely nothing.

 

[Fallenity]

I used a randomizer and got these lines:

Etem - Koivu - Palmieri
Beleskey - Bonino - Getzlaf
Maroon - Selanne - Winnik
Cogliano - Ryan - Perry

(used http://www.random.org/lists/ )

If BB's lines look anything like this, I'll need a drink or two.

 

[SoCalHockey]

Big game tonight. I expect the team to bounce back. But I am worried that this isn't the ideal team to bounce back against. Rinne can be absolutely lights out... and momentum can easily be quenched if he makes a handful of great saves.

I will admit that I have more faith in this team bouncing back against any team in this league this year, than I had faith they would against the lowest calibre teams the last 3 years.

I'll be there and I'll be looking forward to a happy drive home.

Wow, that`d be the best 4th line in the league.

PS
THere`s a mistake in the thread. Last matchup was 3-2 win on the road

 

[bumperkisser]

want a win. don't want to start sliding. tough team to bounce back against though. i assume we'll start hiller

 

[Kalv]

We haven`t lost 2 games in a row this season. I hope this continues

 

[kducks]

Go Ducks!

 

[Mr Rogers]

Will be tough, but I expect they'll squeak out a win somehow.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Duckscolorman: Viktor Fasth the first goalie off the ice at #NHLDucks morning skate. No surprise -- he's been in net for both shootout wins over NSH.

 

[PhoenyX]

Stephens says Ryan might be back at centre

 

[Boot]

If you look at the pattern, we should be good for another 6 games. Its that 7th game that's tricky.

The scary thing is that if BB did use those lines in a game, I wouldn't be particularly shocked.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

This has to be our last game against Nashville. I'm sick of these quicksand teams. The Ducks are better against teams that want to skate.

What is the internal temperature of a tauntaun? They're lukewarm.

I kinda like that PKE line. They could detect ghosts and stuff.

i sure hope so..

Ha

Yeah the Ducks don't seem to match to well recently against the teams that play the neutral zone tight. Which seems a little odd considering the makeup of the top offensive line.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Hahahahhahahahahah

I love the idea of a forward line dice generator. Hmmm... i wonder if someone can write a program that can do that for future threads. Then it would look like:

Lines:
[Dice generator = 1C] - [Dice generator = 1F - 1C //LW] - [Dice generator = 2F - 1C -1F//RW]

And so on. Except, instead of names, put their faces on the die. I think there are 12 sided die out there and so this could be done. Actually, maybe we need to steal coach BB's die.

Oh... and Go Ducks!

 

[gratefulyours]

thats one angry duck you found there op =)

 

[DarthYenik]

They need a strong 1st period.

 

[snarktacular]

C'mon guys. Give BB some credit. First he picks the centers from a list of eligible players (including a few non-centers like Ryan). Only THEN does he randomly jumble everyone else.

 

[Fasthnator]

Lets try

Winnik - Koivu - Selanne

This will be a low scoring game, probably gonna have to go to shootouts.

 

[rocsfeather]

If you're looking for a nickname for Souray it was apparently Big Sexy, at least according to an Oilers fan I know.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

Go Ducks.

 

[Sojourn]

Big Sexy was Sexton's nickname. How about Little Sexy?
