Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Ducks Gamedays -- You Write the Comedy

Saturday: Anaheim Ducks at Nashville Predators, 5 pm
On the Forecheck and Anaheim Calling.

Sunday: Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks, 4 pm
Second City Hockey and Anaheim Calling.

Two quick road games for the perhaps-healing and perhaps-reeling Ducks, and I'm taking the lazy man's route and writing a post for both of them.

Scratch that -- I'm taking the extremely lazy man's route and not writing shit.  Sorry, family's in town through the weekend then I can get back to my typical half-effort.

Prediction: Let's do this.

Go Ducks.

Sorry for the uberlaziness on this one; I had intended to add to this post but never got a chance to revisit it with a computer.

Oh well. C’mon, Ducks.

Heh, not that I don’t read all your posts with the greatest interest and attention, but…when it comes down to it, all I need is a place to cheer and boo during games. ;) Hope you’re enjoying family time.

Hehe, I just watched the replay, and yikes, what an ugly goal! But absolutely fabulous to see that line get a goal — Brown and Nokia work so hard, and it’s nice to see Artoo get a point now that he’s been allowed to return from exile.

I was just telling my friend that I’d much rather have Arty out there than Parros…he may take some crazy penalties, but at least he’s more likely to score!

It’s a tough call for me — with the way our PK has been this year, those idiotic penalties (taken in the offensive zone!!) have led to plenty of super-stressful moments.

A couple of huge saves by Hiller — thought that second shot was going in for sure!

Yeah, I thought he played really well. Too bad the Ducks couldn’t give him more goal support. I guess this means Giguere will get the start tomorrow. Let’s hope the Blackhawks got all of the offense out of their system tonight against St. Louis.

Poor Giguere has a tough game against Chicago. Hopefully Getz comes back and Jiggy plays solid. I dont know though, I already have my doubts about the game……….

Just walked in on the game, and already Bodie’s dropped the gloves.

I watched about half the game

and Jonas did everything he could in the first two periods to keep the Ducks in that game.

Well, Giguere somehow shut out the Hawks the one time the teams have met, so hopefully he’s still in that form.

Didn’t see any of it, but according to the scoresheet, Cotton Gin was on the ice for both 3rd period goals-against (though one was an empty netter as time expired).

How did Chipchura not put that in?

That game against Chicago was painful. I owe you guys two now:

For the Nashville loss. This was an early short film I did. I had no clue what I was doing and I shot it with a camera that I bought at Target. When I first started doing this my logo was a Ducks jersey. I thought it was clever……I was very very wrong. =P This was my second short film. This was also the second closest I’ve come to shooting a hardcore porno. =P

For the Chicago loss:
