I dunno about other Ducks fans, but I know I’ll never forget (or forgive).

And Earl, I think your point about the recent infusion of non-penalty magnet, minor league call-ups deserves a little more consideration. Since they’re new to the club and young/impressionable, I wonder if the coaching staff has been able to grind a “don’t take any dumb penalties” message into their heads. Or perhaps, as rookies/call-ups, they have a naturally higher level of incentive to avoid being the goat in the box when an opponent scores a PP goal against. Another possibility: the addition of so many new/young players provides the veterans with more incentive to set a better example?

Whatever it is, this short stretch of more-PPs-than-PKs is absolutely welcome, and probably allowed Pahlsson to stay on the PP while Perry was suspended. Now, if only we could just turn that into winning games.

What’s so despicable about the Devils?

To put it in terms that Devils fans can understand: take how you feel about the 2001 Colorado Avalanche and then remember that our rage is two years fresher.

Damn, I’m Captain Innuendo. Oh well, watch your backs, Sharkies.

I’ve got no complaints.

Funny, I was just saying that it’s weird to see Perry and Getzlaf not playing together, but that I didn’t think it was going to last long.

Well, we’ll certainly find out in the 3rd! I’ll be back for that — positivity!

He just hasn’t been nearly as “puck minded” as I’d like to see. Physical, yes.

Do I get a Perry assist on this one? Ding…part of my prediction! :)

….and apparently he’s back

hi, zot!

Guess what? No killing myself tonight! :)

That goal means that Getzlaf still has a point in every Ducks win.

that’s a shame.

At least you’ll still have your voice the next day. ;)

But that’s my favorite part! :)

ummm, to sum it up…

They actually played a game they deserved to win…and the score didn’t reflect it properly.

Sleek didn’t bother to predict that Pahlsson goal that happened.

Well what about the Devils? They had some players score also.

God, it ain’t all about the Ducks!

First game in a decade? Congrats on the win! Been lots of build-up, I guess.

Yeah, going to games are 1,000X better than watching it on TV. For one thing, you can’t turn it off when your team falls down 5-1, which means you have to sit through it if you don’t wanna leave early… wait, that’s specifically a Kings problem.

But anyway, I can’t even grasp the feeling of not attending a game for over 10 years. Since I’m a season-ticket holder, I feel like I’m gonna die if I go even three weeks without a game (in season). Also, since I’m only 18, I can’t legally get drunk and I’m actually able to recall game events, which either means one of two things: 1) I’m anxiously awaiting to get home to see the NHL Network highlights of a Kings win, or 2) I’m sitting on the train all depressed because of a Kings loss, just waiting to get home.

I’ve got 8 (give or take one) games left, since I don’t go to all the games. My next one is tomorrow, where hopefully Stamkos won’t be a healthy scratch. Although unfortunately, Melrose isn’t the coach anymore. When the schedule was released and Melrose was hired (whichever came second), I was anxious to see how the fans would welcome him. Now, we’ll probably all just throw our food at Tocchet for the whole gambling conspiracy.

The one time I was rooting for the Ducks to win a game, just to soften up the other team for us, they blew it. I’m pissed at the Ducks for losing to the freakin’ Lightning! You know who loses to the Bolts? The Islanders! The Detroit Lions! Sarah Palin’s junior league hockey team! The Boston Celtics (who actually won tonight). UCLA’s football team.*

There is no excuse for the Ducks to lose to the Bolts… at home! The Bolts are so bad, people look at their roster, see Martin St. Louis, and think they’re playing the Blues! And how can a team with St. Louis and Lecavalier be so terrible? (That’s like asking “how could DL trade for Denis Gauthier”!!) They had Melrose as a coach this season. His mullet alone should’ve had enough power to transform the team that won the Cup in 2003-04. Has a team ever gone from winning the Cup to having the #1 overall pick in a draft three seasons later? I mean before the Lightning did it.

There, I’m done with my rant on something that happened two days ago. Fuck it, the Bolts are gonna win by my favorite score, 18 to -3

*All those were supposed to be teams that can’t even win in their own sport/league.

Well, I didn’t think anybody would actually read through to the bottom anyway. From that perspective, I’ll consider it a plus! =)

You going there? I’m in between transfering from CSU Monterey Bay to CSU Long Beach and for the time being I’m going to LBCC.

Also, I’m a little bit concerned that I post more on the Ducks’ gameday posts than the Kings. And I know almost absolutely nothing about the Ducks.

hahah, up until recently, it was a great game day chat………

now it’s just random BS

Yeah, but 111 of them aren’t even about the game =)

Well I’ll be available. Unless I’m banned from the site for whatever reason.

Eh, I’ll try to limit myself, anyway.

I’m sorry I missed out on all the fun! I hope to be around on Wednesday.

only 2nd star…

haha, what a slap in the face!

(kidding, I’ll take any recognition the Ducks get!)
