Anaheim Ducks (10-13-4, 15th in west) at Minnesota Wild (11-12-3, 14th in west), 5 pm
Anaheim Calling and Hockey Wilderness -- already making reservations for next summer's entry draft.
Woo hoo! Basement Battle tonight, pitting the 14th-ranked Wild vs. the 15th-ranked Ducks! Which team's losing tendencies will outmatch the other's?
I am somewhat cheered up by this jovial Wild characterization. Not sure, but the Duck might be British today.
But hey, positivity! Uhhhh.... at least the Philadelphia Flyers are slumping. After a stretch where the Flyers won 7 of 8 games, they've since lost 6 of 7 in regulation and are currently outside of a playoff slot. They'll probably turn it around, of course, but if they don't, it may be that the Ducks end up with two excellent first-round draft picks for next summer's entry draft in L.A. C'mon, Pronger -- make it so.
Prediction: I'll be absent from game comments today also; watching this one late-night on Center Ice DVR delay (Hooray! No Hayward!). Still, I think I can guess what's going to happen -- just at the moment when you think the Ducks might win a valiant game in honor of Teemu's broken hand, they'll lose.
Go Ducks.

We can out-slump anyone!
Because I use mouthwash. And sometimes, I floss.

Well, not Carolina, apparently. They’re on their own separate planet of suck — we may have to rely on lottery balls to pass them in draft order.

I find your surplus of faith disturbing.

I really can’t take credit for predicting a Ducks loss any more, though — it’s the safest bet around.
