Ducks Gameday—The Three Patos!

Columbus Blue Jackets (11-12-3, t-12th in west) at Anaheim Ducks (14-10-3, t-4th in west)
No, we will not die like dogs! We will fight like lions!


"Three Patos, Anaheim, California. You are very great. 100,000 pesos. Come to Santa Poco, put on show, stop. The Infamous El Guapo."


In a way, each of us has an El Guapo to face.
Sometimes that El Guapo is the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Prediction: Ducks 4, Jackets 2. Goals by Little Neddy Niedermayer, Dusty Pronger, Lucky Day Selanne, and Santa Poco resident Pahlsson. Together they prune the hedges of many small villages. For your El Guapo coverage, go visit Bethany's Hockey Rants.

Go Ducks.

I hope this means Corey Perry is the invisible swordsman.

Would you say that this team kills a plethora of penalties?

No no no Earl, today you were supposed to do a Tora! Tora! Tora! reference.

I'd say we get a plethora. I'm not so sure about the killing thing.

Leave it to Earl to make me spit up milk all over my keyboard.

Your $0.34 bill is in the mail.

My favorite joke from that movie is:

-I think it's a mail plane.

-How can you tell?

-Didn't you see its little balls?

It's not the joke itself, but that Steve Martin and Chevy Chase don't get it. Martin pretends to so he doesn't look done, but he has no idea what it's supposed to mean.

Great, you killed the singing swordsman!

Damn, I had the score right with a minute left. Oh well.

Heh.
Okay, I knew the Ducks were going to give the Red Wings a run for their money... but this is incredible.  Before the series started I thought the Ducks would have an edge early in the series as the Wings may have been a bit rusty... but we're officially in the middle of the series now.  Wow!
Sent in by reader Scot from last night's game -- can you spot Earl Sleek's obnoxiously-lucky green shirt?  Larger image here.

Some say it's easier to locate than a loose puck in the crease.  (Too soon?)
