Ducks Gameday -- Lost
Columbus Blue Jackets (25-30-11, 14th in west) at Anaheim Ducks (30-27-8, 12th in west), 7 pm
The Cannon and Anaheim Calling aren't mathematically eliminated yet.
Hey everyone, there's a new "Lost" episode tonight!
Now I'm not a very good "Lost" fan -- I've only started watching episodes this season, crazily enough. But I've got a few friends in the know who have been answering my questions along the way, and they've proven helpful while repeatedly telling me I'm an idiot for picking it up midstream. The storyline this season is quite disjointed, of course, as it attempts to tell stories set in two different realities. In one reality, the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 fly past the island without incident -- they arrive safely at their travel destination in Los Angeles, and a whole different set of storylines takes place upon arrival. There's still plenty of drama awaiting them there, but the characters move forward without any knowledge of the island or their adventures there.
That's not the unpleasant truth, though -- in the other reality, the characters have been drawn back to the island and its various curses, and things there get more fucked up than ever. People are being killed by smoke monsters, characters are possessed by spirits of varying degrees of evil, the balance between good and evil has gone to shit, and it's becoming more and more evident: these characters were fated to the island. They are hopeless to truly escape it -- its curse is too strong and too specific.
We shall see how it all comes together, though -- I'm committed to see it through.
Likewise, we have the Anaheim Ducks (and to some degree, the Columbus Blue Jackets, though I'm not going to speak for them). In one reality, there is a smooth flight for the Ducks through the regular season. Their roster looks good enough to be a playoff team, they've done it plenty of times in the past, and thus it must eventually be so. That's not the unpleasant truth, though -- in reality, the Ducks haven't been a top-eight team since mid-October, and they were barely one last year. The team has been repeatedly drawn to its own island of mediocrity and hasn't been able to escape its powerful curse. In this season's case, the post-Pronger curse may be too strong. Heroes from previous seasons are now possessed by spirits of varying degrees of awful, the balance between GF and GA has gone to shit, and it's becoming more and more evident: these characters were fated to the island. They are hopeless to truly escape it -- its curse is too strong and too specific.
We shall see how it all comes together, though -- I'm committed to see it through.

yankeeken, yesterday:
Can we return to the lucky webbed foot kick for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jackets?
SPADE-IN-VICTORHELL, next comment:
it has been offically seconded
They are, of course, referring to my web-foot-kicking-out-of-opponent's-stomach cartoon gag that has been a good luck charm for the Ducks in years past (most recent examples here, here, and here -- all followed by Ducks wins). And they are also, of course, abusing their ability to "second" cartoon requests and have me do the follow-up work. Still, I'm a pushover...
...well, sort of. The way the Ducks have been losing lately made it impossible not to produce this one. Should have been more specific with your request:

My visual representation of the Ducks' last three "must-win" efforts.
Besides, it's not terribly easy to draw a jacket with a stomach and a stunned face. :)
Prediction: The bald guy who looks like John Locke does something fucking crazy. The bald guy who looks like Ryan Getzlaf does something fucking crazy as well.
Go Ducks.

For the Jackets, it looks like Rick Nash is out of the lineup tonight. So I suppose that’s good news, though I won’t really know for several hours.
I didn’t watch the Kings game last night — what did you guys do to him?
http://www.battleofcali.com/
They kept showing this replay of his foot getting tapped by somones skate. Apparently it was more brutal than that?
Whatever, a bonus for the Ducks I guess. It means they’re bound to go up by at least 4 goals before they turn the game over to Columbus.
The bald guy who looks like Ryan Getzlaf does something fucking crazy as well
This guy! UGH!!!!!!!

Same here. And I’ve determined it’s the best way to do it. Technically, I watched the recap show and the season finale last season, but I’m definitely out of the loop if anything happens that was not covered in the recap show.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 9, 2010 10:31 AM PST reply actions
Well, yeah, I watched the recap show — that was super-essential. But I still refer to characters by the names “Doctor”, “Chick”, “Asshole”, “Fat Millionaire”, “Disciple Dude”, and “John Locke”.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
With everything I’d heard about the show, time travel and shipwrecks and what not, I thought they were in the Bermuda Triangle until I actually watched that recap. It’s a pretty good show, but I don’t know if I’d want to go back and get worked up over it for multiple seasons.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 9, 2010 11:04 AM PST up reply actions
I hear you, but my pals are adamant about season one at least. I’m mostly abstaining just to piss them off. :)
http://www.battleofcali.com/
I burned through all the seasons in about a month over the Christmas break because I was tired of my brother bugging me to watch the show. All you really need to know is that Jack is hilarious, Jin, Sun & Sayid all rule, Kate sucks, Locke is a loser, and Sawyer looks weird with his shirt off. (His abdomen looks like a blobfish.)
I haven’t been too thrilled with the alternate timeline, personally. The problem I have with it is that before the people in the flashbacks/flashforwards were the same people that were taking part in the main storyline, so you could see how the two are related. The flashsideways have major changes that would make the character completely different people (Jack being a dad, for one) that makes them seem completely different and so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for them to be shown together. I know we’re probably going to see that this is kind of the coda to the show, but for now it just seems… pointless, I guess.
Plus, I’m getting pretty fucking sick of them not just saying what the fuck is going on. Seriously, why does no one ever just say, “What the fuck is going on?”
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
Oh dear god — the blobfish Wiki entry had no picture, so I went to one of its external links.
The first picture here is fucking awesomely wretched. I want to adopt that little guy.

why does no one ever just say, "What the fuck is going on?"
That’s why I could not get into it. It took me a year to figure out Donnie Darko. I knew I liked the movie, just was not sure what the story was about.

If LOST gets too confusing, you can check out explanations and fan theories on the blogs. The recap episodes are okay, but can’t possibly cover everything. I’ve been following for several seasons and I still need explanations sometimes, so go for the blogs.
by ThrashersRecaps on Mar 9, 2010 12:35 PM PST up reply actions
I honestly don’t feel very confused, not so much as everyone tells me I should be. Sure there’s tons of unanswered shit, and I don’t really know where the story is going, but I’m fairly comfortable with my understanding of everyone’s current situation.
Fucked and on an island — got it.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
This is the guy I go to for the good shows I watch. He generally gives his opinion but at the end he also throws up a lot of little things he caught. It’s pretty good, although the comments usually get a little… out there.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
I just read through all his “Caprica” reviews — didn’t get to any comments, though. Decent, I may keep up with it — didn’t realize they had stolen two actors from BSG (I only recognized “Kat”).
http://www.battleofcali.com/
One of my buddies is still pissed about the ending — he’s reluctant with Caprica because he says that he’s going to get screwed at the end again.
Of course, he’s a guy who’s still somewhat convinced that Dee was murdered.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
Well, I know a hell of a lot more people who were pissed about the ending and fine with Dee’s suicide. Into the sun, with no learning curve! Okaaaay.
I dunno. I just feel like both he and Mo Ryan (another critic who I ordinarily have a lot of respect for) started to pull their punches and make more excuses the more they got exclusive interviews with Ron Moore and other members of the writing staff. Plus, toward the end, I think they felt that they had a lot of their street cred invested in BSG. Their takes on earlier episodes are different in tone, even while lauding the show, IMO.
In Dinglebarn We Trust
I’ve never been much into reading about TV shows until the end of BSG, when I read some guy Jacob at Television Without Pity. He’d write long reviews — I’d print them out and read them later, but it was pretty worthwhile in the end. He hated the finale at first but did come around a bit.
Now I see he’s got Caprica going — haven’t checked it out at all yet, but that’s one I’ll probably start with.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
Well, throughout the back half of season 4.5 he had given every episode an “A+” then dropped a “D-” on the finale, but then bumped it up to a “C”. It’s still a shocking eyesore on his listing, but he did have it worse at one point.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
Holy crap, I thought he’d straight up given it an F at first. Well, he originally said he gave every ep an A rating because that kind of measurement was meaningless, but clearly he’s indecisive on that point. Ahem.
Definitely could use an editor, anyhow.

My favorite show: I’m Fat and Stupid and my Wife is Attractive
If I accidentally trip and fall down and I have a boner and I fall into a guy's butt repeatedly is that gay?
Mom & I watched the first couple of seasons. Then we got too lost and couldn’t handle it anymore. We now do Castle instead. One hour mystery, answer at the end, everyone happy.
Let's go Ducks.
I dropped it after season 2, because the fuckers killed off maggie grace, and because the characters got exceedingly dumber with each progressive episode. I can put up with forced plot twists and scripted suspense. But stupid characters that don’t have any fucking common sense piss me off. That’s what I watch family guy and south park for, if i’m going to invest hours upon hours on a drama, it better not have morons for characters. I get enough of that in real life.
Watching lost makes me feel like those black guys that sit in the back of the movie theatre and yell, “oh no, don’t go in there, he’s got an axe!!!”
"Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off."
You should try watching a couple of minutes of a few episodes this season and there are more people on the island and they seem to all be evil. It appears that it will take too much time to figure it out. I will wait until they end the show and then read the analysis of what the heck the show was about.
Let's go Ducks.
One of my buds has only watched most of Season One and stopped, so what’s really funny is when I try to describe to him what-the-fuck is going on. Because I don’t know any character names and he doesn’t really know shit either — it’s a jolly good mess of storytelling there.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
Wait, so you are mad that the characters were stupid but also mad that they got rid of Maggie Grace?

Maggie Grace (’s character) is supposed to be dumb. I mean, Come On!
"Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off."
I’ve been watching LOST since it’s inception, and I gotta say, no Faraday makes the show a whole lot shittier. He was by far my favorite character, and if you have time Sleek, I highly suggest you go back and watch seasons 4-5.
Fringe is also a great show, better in my opinion, but that’s for another day.

Oh, and I do have to hope that Teemu scores a goal tonight — I’d like him to be on the brink of 600 when I go to the games on Friday (Row B) and Sunday (nosebleeds). Huzzah for attendance!
http://www.battleofcali.com/
I would just like to come out not feeling pissed tonite.
Friday’s game I gave to my friend who sits next to me. She is taking her Godchildren who are 4 to their 1st hockey game, so they need to win — Won’t someone think of the children?
Let's go Ducks.
Not to mention Spade — I bet he drunk-texts me about the game then realizes I’m sitting next to him.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
I’ll be sitting down low for that game on the opposite side of the ice in fact…it’ll be interesting to see the Sleek-Spade game time interaction from a distance.
How do you handle his asking you the same question 4 or 5 hundred times? LOL!

Apparently the only Olympic-related idea discussed by one sub-group, as reported by TSN’s Darren Drager, was the idea of having a qualification series for the eighth-seeded team in each conference, similar to the playoff qualifying round at the Vancouver Games.
Just what we need — longer playoffs that become more of a war of attrition.
I like Helene. Hopefully this discussion goes no where
Let's go Ducks.
I have zero desire to see playoffs change one bit. Maybe if they want to get rid of “top three seeds have to come from different divisions”, but even then I’d have to think more about it.

@kevinsyoung
Fortunately for the Ducks (and so far the only good thing, as far as I know) is that the Flames/Red Wings game was in regulation. Points are valuable, so that helps.
Now, strange that in the last three periods at Honda Center (where they had previously won what, 11 straight?) that they’ve really just not looked great at all. Halak and Garon have made some great saves, but Anaheim should at least have two goals to show for it by now.

On the no-goal: whatever.
On the Niedermayer boarding call: whatever.
These things only really have meanings in close games.

McElhinney has a very cool mask. That’s something redemptive I saw today.

Who knew Getzlaf checks Twitter in between periods?
If I accidentally trip and fall down and I have a boner and I fall into a guy's butt repeatedly is that gay?
Getzlaf — once again going for “highest scorer, worst player” award.
Frankly, it’s kind of frustrating to see him score when he wants to — makes the droughts even more awful.

And then the BJs show Anaheim fans how easy a power play goal can theoretically be.
Salt in old wounds, though.

well fooey. Now the one ducks-loving side of me wants them to win, and the realistic, good-for-the-ducks side of me wants them to lose the rest of their games to get a decent draft pick.
Go Kings?
how bout GO SHARKS! :)

ok ang, I might be able to jump on that bandwagon easier. If I do that means I have to revoke my sharks-playoff bashing rights. Not looking forward to that
ah … go for it … us Sharks fans are a great bunch … you’ve love us! :)

Go cheer for the Sharks, you’re not wanted on the Kings bandwagon.
The West Coast is the Best Coast.
see! Rudy is showing no love already

Thanks for making me feel like a dirty, used whore, Rudy. (goes in a corner and cries). My love isn’t for sale, but hey, if the Ducks don’t make it to the playoffs, I’m obliged to support one other BOC team. I’m leaning towards the sharks.
I’m leaning towards the sharks.
woohoo!!!!!

They say we win for that same reason all the time though (well… back when we used to win every once and a while) so I don’t see why that’s a big deal. Hayward was a goalie so he notices goaltenders.

i just cant accept garon and 2nd string goaltenders looking like vezina canidates against us…and then like “themselves” against other teams…and hayward trying to tell us its all about the goaltender…want him to look at the camera straight in the eye and just say we just suck…why pussy foot it really

Although this time, they were kinda right. Garon was huge last night.
However, an even bigger factor was the special teams; Columbus’ power play was 3-for-6. Anaheim’s power play was 0-for-7.

hi guys
wow, to bad the ducks suck so hard. olympics hockey was a lot more fun to watch, than these ducks (actually i fell asleep sometime in the third last night). Which reminds me, after all that winter olympics hooplaigned up I for a curling class just for fun…..hahaha.
Not a hundred percent yet, but hopefully I will be at the game on fri. and would love to meet up at the bar and toss a few back with you guys.
es muy caliente.
Dude, that’s pretty awesome right there — although I imagine there’s probably more fun things out there than the sweeping lessons — much more fun to be a thrower, I’d think.
And yeah, Danny K’s pregame — me, Spade, Rudy, and an old roommate who never visits this site. :)
http://www.battleofcali.com/
So is there parking at this “Danny K’s” and is it HC walkable?
If I accidentally trip and fall down and I have a boner and I fall into a guy's butt repeatedly is that gay?
Yes, and yes — easily walkable.
You’re not technically supposed to park there for Ducks games, so sometimes I take street parking, but it’s not Angels season yet so it shouldn’t matter that much.
http://www.battleofcali.com/
I’m there.
The whole curling thing started when I was watching it and saying…..“how the hell do you even get started in a sport like that”, then a few days later I was at Icoplex for my daughters skating lessons and saw curling sign ups………I had to do it.
es muy caliente.
I might not get there early enough. Work related scheduling with my game acquaintance may mean we don’t get there until gametime. If we get there with some time to kill I will definitely be there.

This kind of remindes me of the Ducks game last night. But in a funny sort of way:
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/d7ebefa28f/best-man-ruins-wedding-from-that-happened?rel=player
They had some good chances but there was just no sense of urgency until the third period and even then it was pretty tame. I just didn’t see a team playing like they had to win.
I’ll be without a computer/TV for roughly 2 weeks starting Friday. But I might be able to check E-mail every now and then. Anyone want to E-Mail me when they win or lose every once in awhile? Maybe even add a smart ass comment so it makes the losses more tolerable. I’d appreciate it.
O yeah, joke for Spade cause he can’t watch video:
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate
father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to
arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, “I’m off. The man should be
here soon” Half an hour later, just by chance a door-to-door baby
photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.
“Good morning, madam. I’ve come to….”
“Oh, no need to explain. I’ve been expecting you,” Mrs. Smith cut in.
“Really?” the photographer asked. “Well, good. I’ve made a speciality of
babies”
“That’s what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat”
After a moment, she asked, blushing, “Well, where do we start?”
“Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the
couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is
fun too; you can really spread out!”
“Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn’t work for Harry and me”
“Well, madam, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But, if we
try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven different
angles, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results”
“My, that’s a lot of…..” gasped Mrs. Smith.
“Madam, in my line of work, a man must take his time. I’d love to be in
and out in five minutes, but you’d be disappointed with that, I’m sure”
“Don’t I know it,” Mrs. Smith said quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his
baby pictures.
“This was done on the top of a bus in downtown London”
“Oh my God!” Mrs. Smith exclaimed, tugging at her handkerchief.
“And these twins turned out exceptionally well, when you consider their
mother was so difficult to work with”
“She was difficult?” asked Mrs. Smith.
“Yes, I’m afraid so. I finally had to take her to Hyde Park to get the job
done right. People were crowding around four and five deep, pushing to get
a good look”
“Four and five deep?” asked Mrs. Smith, eyes widened in amazement.
“Yes,” the photographer said, “And for more than three hours too. The
mother was constantly squealing and yelling. I could hardly concentrate.
Then darkness approached and I began to rush my shots. Finally, when the
squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just packed it all in.”
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. “You mean squirrels actually chewed on your,
um……equipment?”
“That’s right. Well, madam, if you’re ready, I’ll set up my tripod so we
can get to work.”
“Tripod?”
“Oh yes, I have to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It’s much too big for
me to hold for very long.”
the last line was golden…

Wow, that was pretty obviously on purpose too. At least it looked that way to me.
