Stoner was much better than I hoped after a shaky start. Took a bad penalty but it was unfortunate.
Kesler was nails down the stretch, maybe that is Kesler 2.0?
Perry and the captain really showed out, awesome.
Ricky had a poor game.

Great GDT, great win 
Liked Stoner and Despres outside of few plays. Really not sure Wiz would have played better, we need the big players.
Was a nerve wrecking game but i liked the way we showed up in the second part of the game or 3d period mostly. But we will gonna need more depth scoring down the road, Getz and Perry wont score 4 points every night.
PS
The first period was just... ragdolling or something

funny how people made so much of jets "playoff" style and toughness....because one of the big topics of discussion here has been whether we had enough skill, toughness and size isn't a problem for anaheim. if andersen can just play "good" ducks will be in good shape.
not surprised sami stepped up either, good thing he wasn't scratched
kesler seemed to win every faceoff in the 3rd period, 76% for the night

I don't believe he deviated from the lines once, even with just one goal over two periods. And I think the matchups were very stringent, 1vs2, 2vs1, 3vs3, 4vs4.
Tough to take anyone out after that game. Despres might be the top defensive candidate, but overall he was pretty good. Up front, it'd probably have to be Etem, but he was very noticeable all night. Very comforting, though, that there's so much talent ready to step up when injury occurs. There won't be any Drew Millers on the top line this year.

We're eventually going to need more from Freddy. We're not going to score 4 every night. Sure as hell not going to score 2 power play goals.

both stoner and despres played well tonight i think. they were pretty nasty in front of our net but are still mobile enough to keep up with most of the plays. hope wiz sits.
i still hope thompson is back soon though

i wouldn't mind sekac in for etem. he is not built like etem, but he is plenty physical and creates better than our so cal boy.

Dolemite is a hoot on the mainboards. Winnipeg made Anaheim look good and that's why they won.

i sensed some nerves in the 3rd from him, anaheim seem to be able to score on pavelec though, i think his run at the end of the year was a fluke
Well...that was fun. Awesome game to be at.
He won't get 4 points every night, but even earlier in the game, Perry looked much more engaged than in the last 2 postseasons.

there are some derps around there, didn't notice bryan little at all.
some underestimated the extra gear that someone like getzlaf has, the rest did him well

First half of the second wasn't great, usual Ducks second, but then in the second half they started dominating and never looked back.

I'm certain it was a fluke. They've wanted him banished for years now, and even their success in the first half of the season was because Hutchinson was hot.

I'd still like to see Sekac and Wiz make their way back into the lineup at some point, but I have to give it to Bruce (and eat a little crow), the more physical lineup was the right call. Stoner was rough at times, but kept his head above water mostly and became a physical target for the Jets for some reason, which worked out well. The 4th line surprised me. Etem and Wags were mixing it up physically (how did Emer only have 1 hit recorded?), and Jackman did his usual thing.
Don't want to get too far ahead gloating, the Ducks are playing with fire with these slow starts and playing from behind so often. But that was a strong win, hopefully the Wpg fans/media will take the incessant chest thumping down a peg.
Thoughts on Despres tonight?
I thought he and Cam were decent, not great. To me, #24 needs to settle down a little and quit trying to do everything. I saw several instances where Cam was leading him a little heading into the o-zone and rather than pass the puck off to Cam, Despres went charging in hero-style. I want to see Cam carrying the puck in the zone and sneaking down to the goal line, not Despres.

Agreed.
Other thing that makes me laugh is how Winnipeg apparently just made all mistakes and gifted them the win. Perhaps they made those mistakes because....you know, the other team played a good game that forced them too?
But hey, Anaheim must suck because they aren't a good ol' Canadian underdog.
