nice call on the under.

i disagree with that statement. you would much rather have your SOG in the playoffs coming from a guy like Selanne who is a proven finisher. If the ducks think Kunitz and Penner are going to carry them through the playoffs and they keep them together on the #1PP unit and keep selanne on the 2nd unit, they are in for a rude awakening. Selanne is a hall of famer and is having a great, great year. He is the one who is going to lead the ducks through the western conference playoff monster, not a guy like Kunitz.

My SOG statement was actually crediting Bryz for some great stops.

In regards of our offense, we have been focusing on that for the last couple of years. From what I have been seeing and reading the Ducks are going to take a defensive approach (hense picking up Pronger) this year because the pure offense and strong lines haven't gotten us the cup yet. So close several times, but that doesn't count for much.

It's hard to say who will carry us thorugh the playoffs. Last year Bryz stepped in and took us to the Western Finals, only to get smashed on by the Oilers. Everyone has to put their dues in, and Selanne is definately one of them. I don't know why he is in the second squad, but I am sure there is some logcical reasoning to it.

Shots on goals are Shots on goal, regardless of who they are comming from.

I was going to parlay my Under PLay with the Ducks, but I hate road faves towards the end of the season.

Bryz looked good. Shots on goals are Shots on goal, regardless of who they are comming from. That one goal by Chicago was screened and a PPG. Can't blame a goalie for not playing a screened shot to perfection.

nice cash job even though you were talking to yourself :nuts: :beerbang:

dan- THX!...been a while since i have had a nice hockey in-game with myself so i thought why not take the opportunity on a slow night to indulge myself in one. time to go hit the gym now......woohooo....

[FlyersFan]

Ducks need to knock off this experiment with Selanne on the 2nd PP unit and not logging as much ice time as guys like penner. If they keep it up with him, he will go into the playoffs with no momentum and they aren't going to win with their 90 point scorer in a funk. They need to get him going and i can't believe they have sacrificed him to get some of these other guys more minutes. ****ty coaching if you ask me.

[FlyersFan]

wow...****ball scrub line tallies a HUGE one......

would love to see parros and koci throw down one more time if this thing gets out of hand

[FlyersFan]

what an awful penalty to take by Selanne now, as well. go sit on the bench or something

[FlyersFan]

boy Selanne sure picked a great time of the year to try and get onto the side of a milk carton. Zero points and only 9 SOG in his last 4 games.

don't mind me dan...i was just stereotyping......there are hot chicks everywhere.

[dananderson32]

been a strange winter so far about everywhere. it usually doesn't hit the low 70's in Buffalo until late July or early August when you guys get your heat wave. just pretend all the pasty white fat chicks and pine trees are super models and palm trees and you will be fine. and hockey hates it when this happens as the ice has been just awful around the league the past week with all the hot weather. actually in SoCal it has been in the low 60's during the day and into the high to mid 40's at night.

ahhhh nothing like judgeing a book by its cover......pasty white fat chicks......im 19 and some of the girls im seeing....arent pasty and fat....but once u hit 30+yrs old here pickings do become slim :bang: :nuts:

ah yes, duck fan.......he rolls into the parking lot in some kind of monster SUV escalade type. he's mid 40 something guy from like newport or ladera ranch. he either rolls in with his 3 other mid 40 something buddies and they proceed to spend half the game talking or on their cell phones....or he rolls in with his fake trophy wife and their 2 goofy kids. seems the lower bowl is more of a "see me here" fest than a hockey crowd. I much prefer the kings games to a ducks game in socal any day of the week.

I'm much much younger than 40, not married, and have no children. The Duck fans I know aren't like that either. There are some that exist as you described, but it's not like the stadium is packed with those type of people.

A Kings game over a Ducks game? Absurd. Insane traffic to go to a stadium that isn't packed unless the team is doing well (then all the Hollywood stars show up and the game gets heavy media attention). More than likely to sit next to a family of 8 who don't even speak English but got the Burger King Family Pack of free tickets for buying combo meals. Whoopee...
