Ducks Gameday -- Under the weather

Phoenix Coyotes (10-6-0, 20 pts) at Anaheim Ducks (5-7-2, 12 pts), 7 pm
Get your team's symptoms diagnosed at Anaheim Calling and Five For Howling.

Coyotediagnosis_medium
Cartoon inspired by my own flu-like symptoms.

I had written before about the rarity of Anaheim and Saturday home games -- of the 192 games at the Honda Center over the last four seasons (including playoffs), only 6 had ever occurred on a Saturday night.  That's changing fast, though -- the Ducks will add 6 Saturday home games this season before Christmas, tonight being the fourth. 

And so far, Saturdays at Honda Center have solidly sucked -- Ducks have lost all three games to western opponents and have been outscored 15-5.  Plus it's already a jam-packed schedule: why is it necessary for the NHL to cram in 13 games today (more than anybody can possibly follow) followed by just 2 tomorrow?  So yeah, put me in the "give me back Sundays" crowd, though a Saturday night Ducks victory might help change my mind.

Maybe there is a tide turning a bit; the Ducks have gone 2-1-1 over their last four games, and even though their wins both came against severely crippled lineups (Vancouver and Nashville), there has been a stronger sense of competency to Ducks hockey.  Plus the top lines are outscoring -- over the last four games, the top-six forwards have combined 13 goals and are each +3 or better.  Short-term illusion?  We shall find out. 

I suppose I can take this as a sign of positivity, though -- dentistry helped the Ducks last year, at least:

Center Todd Marchant missed practice in order to undergo some dental work.

Prediction: The Wizard James Wisniewski returns from his two-game suspension for demolishing Shane Doan; punches ensue.

Go Ducks.

Also, not really related, but how is it that the L.A. Kings play an especially early game today, at a time when no other NHL team is playing, and then not televise it at all? Seems a golden opportunity for Anze to impress some east-coast eyes, doesn’t it?

screw the east coast. I would’ve liked to watch this game though. I will be resting all day with flu like symptoms as well. Its not H1N1, its just the flu, my daughter had it and passed it on to me. Damn public schools.

Well, it’s simple actually; because the Kings suck.
The inevitable will happen, and Ryan Smyth will get injured, which means Anze will go back to being a cusp player. Everyone I hear is saying Anze this, Anze that, Smyth is the reason they are off to such a hot start. But, as I said, the walls will eventually crumble, just how it does for the Clippers. Start the season with such hope and promise but the suckiness of the franchise as a whole will overcome this perplexity.

Heh, that’s what I’ve been telling my Red Wings buddy, mostly just to egg him on. He hates Smyth, and even if Smytty had 100 points, he’d still find a way to say it was a bad move for the Kings to make.

But don’t mind my Red Wings buddy, he’s getting his foot stuck in his mouth a lot lately (and humorously, will keep insisting that somehow he’s right). Yesterday I had to correct his allegation that somehow the Sharks don’t grow their own talent.

Ratings? They’d rather compete with college football than with pro football, perhaps? Just a thought.

Lol, just kidding. This post was a complete lie.

by brokenyard on Nov 7, 2009 12:58 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I suppose — but every hockey fan can only have their eyes mainly on their own games — seems by aligning so many games in the same slot, you lose some ratings from other fans that might tune in.

I’m not against there being games on Saturday; I don’t think there’s much value in having almost all of them on that day.

Not to mention the fantasy conundrum — much easier when they spread games more evenly.

I’d watch tonight’s Sharks-Pens game, for example, if not for overlapping schedules.

This will be the Ducks’ 15th game of the year, and the 9th time it’s happened on the same day (usually same slot) as a Kings game. Now considering the results, I guess it’s OK that it’s tough for a Kings fan to keep tabs on the Ducks, but I don’t really know what’s to be gained by making fans have to opt one way or the other. Seems in other years I had a much easier time watching multiple BoC teams.

I was watching intently, for fantasy purposes. That was insane — good on Atlanta from stealing a standings point from a western team.

And I got what I needed, from a fantasy perspective, but it was down to the wire.

http://www.battleofcali.com/

by Earl Sleek on Nov 8, 2009 5:20 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Hedberg one of your goalies, then? Or is Conklin one of your opponent’s goalies?

I tuned in to the end to root for Atlanta, too. It’s nice to stay ahead of another team in the standings, even if it’s 1) temporary, and 2) by virtue of a tiebreaker. The picture in the Pacific is still depressing, but it’s nowhere as bleak as it was before the Vancouver game. If we win our games in hand, we’re within striking distance of the LA/Phoenix/Dallas cluster. Of course, that’s a tall order for this road trip, going up against some good teams, but still, a much better outlook than a couple of weeks ago. Hope springs eternal.

by g r a c e on Nov 8, 2009 5:59 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

It was a bizarre setup, actually, for the one league I was worried about — I actually had nobody playing, but my opponent had a combination of McDonald, Boyes, Antropov, Bogosian, and Little, and by late in the third period I essentially needed none of these players to (a) record a shot on goal, or (b) get an assist.

It was nerve-racking, really, because they all played a bunch, and Bogosian and McDonald both shot wide twice each in OT. I made it safely to the shootout unscathed.

Oddly enough, my opponent was playing Hedberg, too, but I’d already lost goaltending for the week.

Definitely.

Anybody watching the Colorado game, or seen a Colorado game this year? This is weird to explain, but it’s blowing my mind.

At each end of the rink, behind each goalie, they have a printed advertisement on the glass, about head-high, where normally you wouldn’t see any advertising. When I first saw it (an earlier game), it said “Jack Daniels” in nice white letters on the back glass. Then on the other end of the ice I saw a nice answering “Southern Comfort”.

Well in today’s game I noticed that the ads had switched sponsors; now it just advertised “avalancheseats.com”, and I thought it was weird that they’d changed already. Then I saw the puck enter the zone on a play, and upon freeze-frame investigation, I realized there was not even a real ad there at all — it was being digitally inserted on the TV broadcast only!

I’m shouldn’t really be that excited about advertising, but for some reason that TV trick has me aflutter.

I have to say, though, it looks pretty good, and it’s non-obtrusive in the telecast. And while it won’t draw any eyes from the in-house crowd, from the TV angle it’s the most prominent ad during most of the game.

I’d probably prefer it, for example, if the Ducks would display “Del Taco” digitally on the back glass rather than utilize it as a recurring reminder that we take too many penalties. Though I don’t really know how to get Del Taco to back out of their existing sweet deal.

For sure — not only does it push Eminger down to a more manageable role, but Wiz keeps adding assists. Not many of our d-men do that consistently.

And yeah, games in hand. I’d much rather have the wins, but at least if the Ducks do turn it on there’s opportunity to catch up.

minus browns goal the lack of prouctivity o nthe last 2 lines spooks me still a little….

The last five games the bottom forwards have chipped in four goals — Brown 2, Marchant 1, Parros 1. Not sure how sustainable that is, but the key is always going to be the top forwards — they’ve been scoring bunches lately, and that seems to be the formula for success.

wensday is so far away

For sure, but at least we’re sitting on two wins while we wait. Much better than the fuming on a loss for a few days.

Well, no, you’re right, though — the bottom six has generally been a dearth of scoring, and it’s unrealistic I think to pencil them in for much offense at all. Their job mostly is just to keep their heads above water, and in some sense they’ve been very good at that — I really liked the Parros-Carter-Artyukhin line the last couple of games, even though it hasn’t manufactured that much. They’re clumsy, but generally effective.

I can live with the bottom lines so long as the top lines play as advertised. Getzlaf’s somewhat becoming good again, though he’s not dominant, but Perry & Ryan now seem able to make that line run. The Ducks need that line to go back to “Round One vs. Sharks” good, but we’ll see how soon that happens — Getzlaf had hernia surgery or something, so it’s just wait and see.

And the Finns are coming around on line two — that’s the real key. Koivu’s worked his tail off in Anaheim, but it was frustratingly off the scoresheet for a while. Now Teemu seems to have caught onto that energy, and they’ve been more stable. There’s still another level for them to get to, though, and Lupul himself is sort of an enigma — his only goal lately was that weird bounce off the glass.

Lately, it’s worked, though not really against anybody very good. This road trip should test the fuck out of them.

lupul..yea i dont notice that guy at all hes like a jersey with the number 14 skating around..but no one inside that jersy…

i think if the bottom line can contribute just a weew bit more..we might get somthing really rolling

Well, the upside to the road trip is that rationally, the Ducks should lose all four games. At least these won’t be points we’re necessarily blowing (not like say, when a winless Leafs team comes to your arena).

And yeah, the last year especially, the Ducks play to their competition. So we can expect probably a couple of good performances soon. As for Lupul, I have noticed him — I think he’s been playing OK, actually, though I’m still not sure where he fits best. I’m still kind of hoping on Marchant’s wing.

Perfect explanation of that line. I like that line as well. I really do like Artyukhin. He’s surprisingly fast for his size.
