Ducks Gameday -- Cup Finals Re-enactment.

by Earl Sleek on Dec 6, 2009 5:20 PM PST Comment 59 comments

Ottawa Senators (13-10-4, t-7th in east) at Anaheim Ducks (10-13-5, 15th in west), 5 pm
To reminisce about the Best Cup Finals Ever!, visit Anaheim Calling or Silver Seven.

Whoops, running really late today! I did draw a cartoon, though.

We should do this playoff matchup again some time -- probably not this year, though.

Since the lockout, the Ducks and Senators have faced each other eight times -- three regular season plus five Cup Finals games -- and the Ducks have won seven of the eight. Thanks again, Chris Phillips.

Prediction: Ducks actually win this one 4-1, goals by Perry, Nokelainen, Scotty, and Ryan. Unfortunately, the win is only worth two standings points, so the Ducks stay in fifteenth.

Go Ducks.

Go Ducks!

I don’t want the Sens to win…

Well, hopefully the Ducks’ mastery over the Sens continues, but this year, everything’s questionable.

I’m a bit worried about Cheechoo — that guy murders Anaheim.

Ouch. Well, Sens scored first in the cup finals, too, I suppose.

Holy lucky glass bounce, Getzlaf.

That’s crazy — Lupul scored one of those earlier in the year, too.

Spezza with the power play goal. Pretty inevitable, as two Ducks had just made saves, and neither one was named Giguere.

Holy crud — this is insane.

First Sens lead was 15 seconds. Second Sens lead was 31 seconds. Nice shot, Loops.

back injuries are apparently awesome. Eminger should come back and start scoring.

On Selanne’s advice, they’re injecting Lupul with nothing but ketchup.

He snagged the kechup IV from Selanne’s locker.

Killing off a 3-on-5 in the second period should mean a free Deluxe Del Beef Burrito at Del Taco. Nicely done, Giguere.

So…I tuned in about 7 min ago — has any of this game been played 5-on-5?

by g r a c e on Dec 6, 2009 6:32 PM PST reply actions

Most of the first was even-strength, if you can believe it. Ducks didn’t get a power play the first half of regulation.

by Earl Sleek on Dec 6, 2009 6:33 PM PST up reply actions

Looks like someone forgot to tell them that they were on the PP just now. How are they tied 2-2?

by g r a c e on Dec 6, 2009 6:36 PM PST up reply actions

Sens scored twice, and the Ducks scored immediately afterwards each time.

The first one was especially lucky — Getzlaf from center ice bounced it off the side glass and into a vacated net.

by Earl Sleek on Dec 6, 2009 6:38 PM PST up reply actions

I went back and looked at that, and it almost makes up for that awful own-goal a couple games ago.

He probably wasn’t the last one, but wore it for several years. Mark Mowers, for example, has worn it since.

Well, it was applicable.

Looking over this list really quickly, it seems that the only other Duck to wear it was Tyler Wright.

I like how he checked to make sure he hadn’t decapitated Elliot.

I think he’s saving that for Jose Theodore. Well, the Ducks avoided one of their types of heartbreaking endings — let’s see how we do in OT.

Yeah, I don’t have a whole lot of hope. Can’t score a quick-answer goal in OT.

Maybe Chris Phillips could put one in his own net for us? I’d hate to ask twice, though.

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Dec 6, 2009 7:41 PM PST reply actions

Yeah, at this point, Carlyle needs to make the rule, “if we get a standings point, you play again.”

Part of the problem is that I bet Giguere stops everybody in shootout practice. He needs to try a practice with another team shooting.

by Earl Sleek on Dec 6, 2009 7:45 PM PST up reply actions

He wasn’t following Peeters advice this time. Not as aggressive and not using his blocker/stick. Must be hard to listen to a goaltending coach who’s actually wearing the gear. It’d be like taking parenting advice from an adult wearing G.I. Joe pajamas

Great comic Earl. =)

I owe you guys two.

Since the Ducks are probably going to be ending their season early, I figured I would post a stand up act by Robin Williams about the activity they’ll get more practice in this offseason, golf.

Since I’m in the stand up mood now. I’ll post one of my favorite skits of all time by George Carlin on The Ten Commandments.

Top 3 Sleek rumors overheard at the NHL draft -- in a band called Sleek and the Sleestack's -- it takes Sleek 20 minutes to watch 60 minutes -- is more interesting than the most interesting man in the world, but prefers Pacifico to Dos Equis.

I just realized why both Cam Fowler and Emerson Etem dropped so far in the draft...

Just look at the shirts those two are wearing.
