Ducks Over(pre)seas(on) Gameday -- Joker it!

PrintAnaheim Ducks (3-4-0) at Jokerit Helsinki (I'm not exactly sure what this means), 9 am
Anaheim Calling and, holy hell! SBN doesn't have a Jokerit blog yet?!
This post is going to be pretty hasty, as I arrived back on Californian soil late last night. But still...
Anaheim Ducks Preseason Record by Couch Watchability
| Television or Video Feed Available? | GP | Record | GF/g | GA/g | GD/g |
| Yes, the game is watchable. | 3 | 3-0-0 | +3.33 | -1.33 | +2.00 |
| No, it is radio-only. | 4 | 0-4-0 | +1.75 | -5.25 | -3.50 |
The Ducks have been a pretty good team when watched from fans' couches -- players can feel the extra eyeballs on their backs and hustle extra hard as a result. They have not been very good when that option is unavailable, however -- Ducks players can sense when they're only being verbally described, and their motivation falters because of it. On that note...
Oh shit...
REMINDER: #NHLDucks take on @JokeritHC Tuesday in an exhibition at 9AM PT. Radio call on http://AnaheimDucks.com & AM 830.
C'mon, Anaheim Ducks "tech" team: for the sake of the Ducks' success, next preseason televise them all!
Anyways, make sure to check out Spade's fanpost for the likely game lineup, and while I'm a bit too travel-weary this morning to draw something new, I've compiled a bunch of loosely-related old BoC images to help celebrate today's unique Finland-centric matchup. Enjoy!
That turtle street sign cracks me up -- so jovially unhelpful. That was actually back from my one visit to Helsinki back when I was a Mighty Ducks fan. Go memories.
Prediction: Some internet hero remembers that we live in the 21st century, finds us a video feed, and saves the day. Ducks 4, Jokerit 2. Two goals by Koivu and four goals by Selänne.
Go Suomi.

Kings are also playing Hamburg at ten this morning — if Rudy doesn’t write a gameday, feel free to comment in here too.

Yeah, do that.
The game is going to be streamed at NHL.com at 10 AM Pacific, but it’s going to be in German.

BTW, when I put it into google translate, it offered me a suggestion:
Did you mean: Die Könige können Sauer Gurkenschlange saugen!!!
which is:
The Kings can suck sour cucumber snake!
Because that’s probably used more often. :)

Teemu is part-owner of the team or something.

I’m being harassed by this guy two cubes down “it’s really funny when the Sharks are beat by the Ducks … big bad ducks quack quack quack”. And the guys around are laughing. This is going to be a long season if I have to hang out here long. UGH!

If this game is really going to be radio-only, they should have just lied to us and told us that was Teemu singing the Finnish national anthem.

Dan Wood says the Ducks PK hasn’t made Hiller make any real saves, completely forgetting about how he made his “best save of the preseason” last PK.

Here’s the video link if you want to watch the 3rd period of the Kings game. Should start in about 8 minutes or so.
If the game doesn’t entice you, there are currently hot German broads on screen.

This is the first period I’ve listened to the webcast — crowd chants are kind of cool.

I wish the NHL would provide these webcasts for Ducks home games. No broadcasters, but sound from the ice and the crowd.

It looked like a little kid. It was weird, it’s not like Gagne Perry’d him or anything; it’s like he completely didn’t know where he was on the ice.

well, that too.
but really, lydman was probably excited about being able to play in finland. then first, he’s seriously getting overshadowed by teemu (and saku) since he gets all the love. and now he can’t even play :/

let me tell you about my friends—I have no one to go see Moneyball with (even read the book). Well a friend said he would go w/me but then crapped out on day of it so now he says “this week” I have yet to hear from him. But he is a Redwings fan, so that explains ALOT.
You need to convert your friends into hockey fans.
Let's go Ducks.
I’ve tried converting my friends – I have one, but he’s over in Sac. The other friends in the area are into baseball – yuck!

I got my baseball-watching friend into hockey just these last playoffs and now he’s really excited for the upcoming season. Summer sport / Winter sport: There’s no conflict between baseball and hockey!
Which is good, because otherwise hockey would have to kick its ass.
Lol that would be like canada trying to fight america. But yeah, hockey is awesome. To me, it will always be second to baseball.

Foster’s out for a few weeks isn’t he?
"Thank you very much fans and let’s go for the next game together!"
— Lubomir Visnovsky
I rec’d that shit.
It wasn’t too much, though, it sounded like. For some reason, each team were allowed two extra spots on the bench, so Foster and Beleskey got inserted without really removing anybody, and as such were played kind of sparingly.
That’s probably not a bad way to get your feet wet, though.
