Has Positivity the pesky dog been sent down to Iowa?

Yeah, let’s hope he clears waivers. But he definitely needs some ice time, and just wasn’t getting enough minutes with the big club.

I think we should pick up Negativity the narcissistic cat. (he might be cocky, but he’s a real cool cat.)

Eight games left after this — depending on how things go, we may get an appearance.

Well, let’s not get too crazy optimistic just yet — it is still only four wins against Phoenix and Nashville, not necessarily the most outrageous achievement (though for this Ducks team, it’s like Rushmore on top of Kilamanjaro).

Still, can’t complain about it thus far. Even though the Ducks have surrendered standings points to eight of its last nine opponents and blown third-period leads with amazing regularity, here they are in the 8th seed. Amazing.

Nothing can help cure that.

the question is who starts in goal? hiller right?…or

I’d guess Hiller, but I don’t know if I should be trusted based on my faulty prediction streak.

Here’s what’s cool, though — it seemingly doesn’t matter right now who gets the call. Both goalies have been pretty excellent of late and both have stolen us points. To be honest, I don’t know if the Giguere-Hiller tandem has worked out better at any point in the season as it has in the past week.

Tough to say, but so long as everyone continues doing what they did this past week, we may pull this off yet.

2-4 weeks

Translation: “the rest of the season.”

I called the season over and they start winning….

You’re definitely not alone there. I figured the team was finished after the game they lost to Travis Moen (and wasn’t afraid to tell Spade that many times), thus my transition into predicting losses.

But hey, even though the Ducks have made me look stupid on plenty of occasions this year, at least now they are doing better than expected. That’s a welcome change.

I still think Jiggy’s been more lucky than good lately.

Meant to say something here, too. I’ll agree with some of this — definitely he got lucky on Sullivan’s OT flub, and I think probably on the shot that Scotty Niedermayer blocked.

But compared to where he was post-ASG, I think he’s improved a good deal. There were a few saves yesterday that I think would have gone in a couple of months ago.

Also, why does the Shark look like he as a loaded diaper? Could it be that he is scared of a first round Ducks-Sharks matchup?

It could be. It’s kind of suspicious that the night that the Ducks earned 2 points to push temporarily into the 7th seed, the Sharks got a point to get out of the 2nd seed.

Scaredy-cats.

Excellent — you are properly prepared.

OK, I’m off for a bit, but hopefully I’ll be back before this game is over.

Well I guess I can be disappointed some other night… right now it looks like we’re playing an AHL team, which is actually kind of true.

Definitely. The second Perry goal was pretty sweet, but the others have been chucklers.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Budaj, then Raycroft, then Budaj again??

It was a landslide or avalanche of a win!

…we’ll lose badly on friday

No kidding. Friday is going to be a nightmare now.

oh, and Jessica Holmes is cute little petite girl I would love to throw around in an extremely sexual way.

I don’t suspect he’s itching to sign in Anaheim after being dumped at the deadline.

Whatever, I guess. Chicago or one of 28 other clubs — that makes no difference to me. I don’t know if I’m going to stress about it for three straight months until July 1st, though, especially based on rumor or hearsay. That’s an issue for way down the road.
