Ducks Gameday -- Now gloating on a multisport level.

by Earl Sleek on Oct 11, 2009 6:21 AM PDT Comment 124 comments

Anaheim Ducks (2-1-1) at New York Rangers (3-1-0)
Go visit Blueshirt Banter for your Avery longings.

What a nice east coast swing Teemu Selanne is enjoying the past two games -- fall behind by a goal, Teemu will score you a pair to pull ahead. Fall behind by two goals, Teemu will score you a pair plus a shootout winner. For those of you scoring carefully, Teemu has scored on his last five shots-on-net (counting the one shootout goal) -- that's a charmed life.

Originally posted May 7, but never more appropriate than today.

Then again, Artoo (Evgeny Artyukhin, but I don't intend on spelling it out much longer) is still humming along at 100% shooting accuracy -- two goals on two shots this season, and he nearly stole Teemu's dying-seconds heroics with a barely-wide shot near the end of period 3. We'll let his offensive zone penalty slide for one day, at least -- wins tend to overshadow sins.

And speaking of sins, I suppose it's time I committed some:

I'm a sucker for popular demand, I suppose. In case you're unfamiliar with State Rape, this BoC tradition all started back two-and-a-half years ago, and has made odd appearances ever since. As always, I'll start with the justification:

Oct. 7 @L.A. Dodgers 5, St. Louis Cardinals 3.

Oct. 8 @L.A. Dodgers 3, St. Louis Cardinals 2.

Oct. 10 L.A. Dodgers 5, @St. Louis Cardinals 1.

Bonus win: Oct. 10 L.A. Kings 2, @St. Louis Blues 1.

Totals: Los Angeles 15, St. Louis 7.

L.A. wins 'em all. Of course, I've already made a State Rape cartoon for Missouri before, so this was easy enough to update:

Hey, what do you know? There actually was a Second Missouri Compromise. Thanks, history!

* * *

This one's not yet complete, but it is promising:

Oct. 8 @L.A./Anaheim Angels 5, Boston Red Sox 0.

Oct. 9 @L.A./Anaheim Angels 4, Boston Red Sox 1.

Today -- G3 @ Boston, 9 am. Go Halos.

Bonus win: Oct. 8 Anaheim Ducks 6, @Boston Bruins 1.

Totals so far: Anaheim 15, Boston 2.

I don't want to jinx anything, though, so I'll just leave a placeholder.

Probably this is too much, but hey, it's not my team's playoff curse on the line.

[Update 1pm -- Boston blows it with two outs in the ninth, karma has been preserved. Angels 7, Boston 6. Another SoCal sweep.]

Sweet, sweet revenge.

* * *

And don't think you're off the hook just yet, New York. Ducks are in town for a game today on a seesaw streak*, and it's looking like there could be an Anaheim-NY collision coming in baseball, too. Plus, I already have a template.

* Sharks score 4 goals, then Ducks score 1. Ducks score 3 goals, then Wild score 4. Bruins score 1 goal, then Ducks score 6. Flyers score 2 goals, then Ducks score 2-plus. Every game seemingly has exactly one turning point -- no more, no less. Perhaps that's the upside to terrible first periods.

Prediction: Ducks 5, Rangers 3. Goals by Whitney, Marchant, Perry, Lupul, and Koivu. I may be getting to this game's comments a bit late today -- because of the carto/porno-graphic sinning on display today, I'll be spending the morning confessing in church, and will have a DVR'd Angels game to go through once I get home. Still, feel free to comment on whatever -- baseball, state rape, hockey, or confession. Today, it's all relevant.

Go Ducks.

It’s gonna be a good year for Southern California teams in all sports. Angels, ducks, kings, dodgers, lakers, and hopefully the Chargers do something cool this season.

Root, root, root for the hoooome team, if they dont win its a shame.

Also this was on the Ducks site about today’s matchup…

Injury Report – Left wing Sean Avery (knee) is expected to make his season debut for the Rangers. Petteri Nokelainen (groin) hasn’t played in a game yet this season and is doubtful for the Ducks.

I guess they missed yesterday’s game, although they did catch Selanne’s goals.

I disagree — there’s nothing 4-on-4 or shootout-ish about the postseason.

If there’s anything artificial about overtime points, it’s the one that’s given to the winner of the postgame sideshow.

Yeah, but I think it’s significant that the Ducks didn’t suffer a true loss until G17 of the cup season. If it was just non-wins, that would have been but a three-game streak to start the year.

Sucking at shootouts can cost you standings points, but getting there matters for sure.

You know, I’ve sometimes thought about putting together a scoring chance table for a game like they’re doing at mc79hockey for Oilers games. Here were the Ducks scoring chances tonight:

…

Oh wait, they’re tracking chances for both teams? Then I’m out — that requires way more effort.

I’m going to start a Ducks drinking game. Take a shot every time Anaheim takes a shot.

Yeah, you’ll get fucked up, but there will still be stretches where you’ll feel pretty goddamn sober.

Funny, that’s what the Ducks are probably saying, too.

You missed nothing. Absolutely nothing.

And Marchant might be hurt.

5 games in, and we’ve had 3 periods where the Ducks take two or fewer shots.

Something’s fundamentally broken with the system if it keeps happening with this frequency.

Our low shots were happening in preseason too!
were fucked if they dont fix something.

All this hoopla about adding extra offense, I havent seen shit.
Come on Ducks 1 or 2 shots in a whole period, thats fucking embarrassing.

ahhhhhh

Because Artyukhin took a four minute minor just as Marchant got hurt.

Yesterday wasn’t so much about awful PK-ing, it was refusing to create chances. Best we could have hoped for was a scoreless shootout.

Unfortunately I didn’t catch any of the games this past weekend. I was checking the scores on my cell phone though. The Philly game looked like we got it done in the 3rd period and the shootout and that was about it.
Sounds like the Rangers game was a complete fucking meltdown. From what I’m reading anyway.
I don’t really get it. Anyone care to enlighten me on why we always have one period that looks like the other team is on a power play the entire time?

I've always thought this was uncanny. In case you've been living under a rock the last 10 years, that's Salma Hayek.
