Let's Go Ducks

The Blackhawks are going to suffer their first regulation loss tonight

 

[Ducks DVM]

Big test tonight, hopefully there are some working lines and the top line has worked the rust off.

Go Ducks!

 

[Finnpin]

BB's line juggling FTW

 

[Quack Shot]

This is a sure win

Most important game of the season so far! If we win we can be 9-2-1 and they can be 10-1-2, we would have a game in hand too so we are in the race for first place if we get this win, Perry needs to show up and our defense needs to show up.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I think they'll somehow walk out with at least a point. Go Ducks!

 

[HanSolo]

I'm nervous about a game for the first time this year.
Go ducks.

 

[getzforfighting*]

the gameplan has gotta be put the body onto their skill guys. Kane and Hossa dont like being hit at all. Lets go ducks!

 

[Mr Rogers]

Duckscolorman: Best guess on #NHLDucks' lines at start tonight: Palmieri-Getzlaf-Perry, Etem-Ryan-Selanne, Cogliano-Koivu-Winnik, Beleskey-Bonino-Staubitz.

 

[Quack Shot]

Maybe it was just BB trying to give Perry a wake up call to get his s*** together or he'll be on the third line. Duckscolorman said that the lines will be normal to start the game at least.

Dan Wood @Duckscolorman
#NHLDucks coach Bruce Boudreau said team's lines would be back to normal "for the first period" tonight against high-flying Blackhawks.

These lines look great! 3rd line should stay together and I like that Palmieri back with Getzlaf. I also like to see Etem with Ryan and Selänne, I think he's going to score his first NHL goal tonight and Selänne is going to get the primary assist for it.

I have a good feeling about this game. I expect Crawford to melt in front of Ducks' offence and Anaheim wins like 9-1. Toews gets so depressed after the loss that he quits his career to become a professional amateur fisherman. Sharp follows him and becomes his wingman. You heard it from me first!

Lets Go Duuuuuuuucks!

I approve of these lines.

 

[HanSolo]

Rakell continues to be screwed.

Dan Wood tweeted to somebody that there should be a decision soon

Well id hope so lol

I think we match-up very good against the Hawks. We're going to have to crash and bang Kane and Hossa and hopefully the bounces go our way. If that happens, we have a very good chance of winning.

Really? I think we match up awful with Chicago. Still, after eating a pizza I've developed a good feeling about tonight's game.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

In honor of our game being in chicago i may crusie down to tonys pizza, i know theyll be showing the game, i remember watching chicago vs philly game 6 there.

Best chicago style pizza in the oc.

As much as I've loved Boudreau's coaching decisions this year, sitting Rakell is flat out stupid. He'd bring much needed speed and defensive awareness to that fourth line. Staubitz is useless there.

 

[bumperkisser]

I approve of these lines.

im not a huge fan of those lines.. etem isn't ready for top-6.
and rakell should be in for staubitz against the hawks. we need all the skill we can get

By the numbers, we're a better 5-on-5 team than Chicago is (Goals scored / goals allowed: Hawks 29/19, Ducks 28/16, in one less game). Yes, their attack is dangerous. But, so is ours. If we either stay out of the box, or have a big PK night, I think we take this game.
