Ducks Gameday -- Baldy's back, commence first period suckitude!

PrintAnaheim Ducks (29-21-4) at Vancouver Canucks (35-10-9), 7 pm
Anaheim Calling and Nucks Misconduct -- your clicks keep this network alive!
At first, I was going to write about Ray Emery today -- he cleared waivers and has been assigned to Syracuse, and the pun of the day was something about how the Ducks avoided "Emery loss". But no -- there's bigger stories in Duckville today: Jonas Hiller is on the IR for tonight's game, Aaron Voros is on waivers, and after a 14-game absence, Captain Baldy is back.
As such, I wanted to do a comparison of the Ducks' first forty games with Getzlaf in the lineup (19-17-4) with the fourteen games he missed (10-4-0), to sort of examine what the Ducks have been doing successfully in Getzlaf's absence. Obviously one area is the power play -- Ducks went 16 for 47 (34.0%) without Getzlaf in the lineup, compared to 20.6% for the first 40 games -- we'll see tonight whether Baldy gets himself back on the top unit or not.
But another possibly-related area particularly impacted during Getzlaf's absence was first period success; without Baldy, the Ducks played the starts of games much better than they used to. Check out the table below:
Anaheim's First Periods -- With and Without Ryan Getzlaf
| 40 games with Getzlaf in lineup |
14 games without Getzlaf in lineup |
|
| First Period Goals For, Goals Against | 23 GF, 34 GA (-11) | 15 GF, 8 GA (+7) |
| Times the Ducks scored first | 20 times (50%) |
11 times (79%) |
| Times the Ducks led after one | 8 times (20%) |
8 times (57%) |
| Times the Ducks trailed after one | 13 times (33%) |
2 times (14%) |
It's probably worth noting -- the game that Getzlaf got injured the Ducks scored 3 first period goals, so Anaheim's first 39 games featured only 20 Ducks first period goals. Still, the numbers seem damning -- Getzlaf's Ducks don't seem to take early leads with any frequency, and the team has lost several games before the first intermission. And it's particularly stunning that the Ducks have won as many first periods without Getzlaf as they did with Getzlaf.
Now not all of this is Getzlaf's fault, obviously -- he shared the ice with plenty of talented skaters who also weren't scoring in the first period. And also: the Pep Boys were in the lineup for only 19 of Getzlaf's 40 games (13-5-1); since his absence they've played in 12 of 14 games (9-3-0), so some of Baldy's apparent failure should fall on the shoulders of the coach.
But still -- it is a concern. Getzlaf is the captain and does control the puck during a lot of our potentially-offensive moments; if he's not being productive in the first period, it's going to bite us. Overall, Ducks are 15-1-0 when leading after one and 3-12-1 when trailing after one -- here's hoping that the Ducks' focus on the early portion of the game continues even in the presence of the Bald One.
Aside: I thought I'd take a quick interlude and focus a bit on a team that doesn't get much attention over here -- the Boston Bruins. Since the start of December, Boston has been trucking along at a fantastic pace, picking up 18 wins in 31 games played. Against non-BoC opponents during that stretch, the Bruins have averaged 3.61 goals-for-per-game, an impressive figure in this modern era. However, the three times the B's had to face a BoC opponent during that stretch, the Bruins' average drops to 0.00 goals-for-per-game. That's right -- 3 BoC opponents, 3 times shut out.
It's not that Tim Thomas has been bad -- over the three games, he has only allowed 6 goals on 76 shots, a .921 save percentage. But when Jonas Hiller, Jonathan Quick, and Antti Niemi are combining to stop all 105 Boston shots, what can you do?
December 20: Ducks 3, Bruins 0.
January 24: Kings 2, Bruins 0.
February 5: Sharks 2, Bruins 0.
Battle of California 7, Boston Bruins 0.
I know this isn't the traditional trigger for the cartoon below, but when you're a successful team that's been shut out by all three teams from this blog, connectivity of the games is of secondary importance. Thus...
I was very close to drawing this on hotel stationery, but I can't cheat tradition.
See you next season, B's!
Prediction: Tonight's game is on Fox Sports West? Awesome -- I'll be around tonight, watching from my hotel room. Ducks 4, Canucks 2. Baldy forgets to suck in the first period -- goals by Perry, Ryan, Lubo, and Maximus.
Go Ducks.

I suppose there’s a scenario where all three BoC teams could visit one city — one after the other after the other — but that seems unlikely.
More often schedule makers just make visiting teams go through all 3 while they’re in the state — that’s typically when we see it.
Or when I’m bored and can make something up — I’ve done it for combinations of baseball results and hockey results, for example.
www.battleofcali.com
Haha, yeah, and I thought the analysis portion wasn’t too bad today, either. I know I was a bit stunned by the first period split.
www.battleofcali.com
And in case anybody’s interested, here’s the goals for each period with or without Getzlaf
Getzlaf’s 40 games:
1st: 23 GF, 34 GA
2nd: 40 GF, 41 GA
3rd: 34 GF, 37 GA
OT: 3 GF, 2 GA
TOTAL: 100 GF, 114 GA
Getzlaf-less 14 games:
1st: 15 GF, 8 GA
2nd: 12 GF, 14 GA
3rd: 15 GF, 12 GA
OT: 0 GF, 0 GA
TOTAL: 42 GF, 34 GA
So for the 40-game sample, you can see how much offense suffers in the 1st period compared to the 2nd or 3rd. In the 14-game sample, this 1st period distinction isn’t nearly as noticeable.

Well, this is probably exactly how I’d re-introduce him, I guess. Unless the result sucks — then I would have done something completely different! :)

I thought it was 2 great games then a stinker. Hmmm. But take heart! It’s been quite a while since the Ducks had a winning streak that only lasted one game. Last time it happened Getzlaf was visorless and healthy.

its not luongo tonite either…but since the ducks become a franchise weve made backups look like all stars…

I don’t know why they just don’t call everything a “concussion” and just wallow in the murkiness of what that might mean.
Take your time, Jonas — we need you, but I want to see the German play a game that counts for us at some point, too. Maybe even Emery, though who knows what kind of goalie he is these days?
www.battleofcali.com
Seriously, if this continues for Hiller, I guess there is a small part of me that hopes Emery is conditioned quickly and proves to be tollerable in net. I don’t dislike Curtis, but…I don’t think he’s capable of getting the Ducks into the playoffs.
I’m just hope that the asshole in Emery doesn’t ruffle too many feathers (LOL) and the team is able to cope with him in the locker room.

Do you believe in MiracElhinney?
I dunno — the guy fails to be square to shooters quite a bit, it seems, but he is making saves. Hopefully this Hiller issue isn’t terribly long-term. For now, I’m just putting my hope in the Pep Boys and hoping their 22-8-1 record holds.
www.battleofcali.com
I wouldn’t have complained if the Ducks kept the goalie tandem as is (meaning no Emery at all), but I’m definitely not as comfortable with Hiller sidelined and Curtis picking up too many meaningful games. The end of last season when it didn’t mean anything – that’s one thing. But jockeying for a playoff position…well, that’s something else entirely.
Not that it matters. They just need to fucking win. I don’t care how they do it or what it looks like. :)

Here’s the specifics:
The first domino appears to have fallen prior to the NHL trade deadline as the Toronto Maple Leafs have shipped defenceman Francois Beauchemin back to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Joffrey Lupul, defenceman Jake Gardiner and a conditional Ducks’ fourth-round draft pick in the 2013 Entry Draft.
For the salary-inclined, Frenchie makes $3.55M this season and $3.65M next season before becoming a UFA. Lupul’s $4.25M annually for this year plus two more should cover that nicely.
www.battleofcali.com
So what does this do for that Lupul to 35 goals thing over at AC?
GO SHARKS!
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?
"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" -- Benjamin Franklin
More trade details from Pierre LeBrun:
Explaining the parameters of the conditional 4th-round pick in trade: If Lupul is not on the Toronto’s "reserve list" for 40 or more regular season games in the 2012-13 season then Anaheim trades its 6th round pick in 2013 instead of 4th round pick in 2013.
I guess “reserve list” might mean injured reserve? Whatever — either a 6th or 4th round pick two drafts from now will be going to Poppa Burke.
www.battleofcali.com
THIS is why Burkie didn’t pick up Voros…he was working on this trade instead! ;)

Too bad there’s only one Brian Burke — he might have an appetite for the other guys.
And it shouldn’t matter too much — even if they’re all stuck here, nobody’s making more than $750k. They’re being paid like depth defensemen, even if they probably deserve a bit more based on NHL experience.
www.battleofcali.com
Does anyone know if we can send Brookbank down without subjecting him to waivers? We’re getting into a real roster jam here with, what now, 8 defensemen?
I’m not sure that somebody taking a d-man from us off waivers is the worst thing. We’re not likely to get a ton back in a Brookbank trade or anything.

I suppose that’s not so bad either. For some reason I always think of Brookbank being a young guy, but he’s not – so it’s not a loss either way. Go ahead and get rid of him or any of the other d-men.
It might be nice to be waive Sutton and his salary. Maybe even if we did the whole re-entry waivers thing and just take on half of it to get him out of here.
I doubt that would ever happen…for some reason the Ducks seem to have a hard on for Sutton – regardless of his pansy ass play. It boggles me.

yeah, that’s sort of Lupul’s problem though. He’s a scorer but isn’t a guy you would build a franchise around. He’s just one of those guys that is attractive to teams because he can score goals, but he’ll never carry a team on his back (except for that one playoff game against Colorado). He’ll always be a player that gets traded.
A bunch of the Sharks got a special guided tour of the National Archives before their game in D.C., hosted by Benn Ferriero’s cousin, who’s an archivist there. Unfortunately, Benn had just been sent down to the minors!

Dude, the comments over at the OCRegister are harsh: Most aren’t liking the deal saying we gave up too much by trading Gardiner. Like Sleek, I know nothing of our prospects so it’s a good deal for me. He’s not in the NHL so why does it matter?
Plus a lot of Lupul fanboys too. I do have some gripe with getting rid of Lupul because what are we going to do about wingers over the next couple of seasons. But here’s hoping that Sexton and Beleskey can perform.

We probably did give up a bit much in Gardiner, but it’s offset by ditching Lupul’s hefty 3rd-line salary for the next couple of seasons, I think.
Besides, we’ve already got young guns in Fowler and Sbisa that are both impressing — not sure 3 young kids on the blueline would be that feasible.
Hey, Gardiner could be awesome, but Beauchemin is better today — and that probably matters right now a good deal. Could we possibly have the best blueline in the Pacific now?

If Gardiner is any good, though — I’d rather he went to the east. Much more forgettable that way.

Ya, what if he went to someone like Detroit? Yikes, hopefully Murray is never dumb enough to trade any more D prospects. I think now he may draft another D-man in this year’s draft.

Really? Maybe I should care more about this, but until they hit NHL ice, they’re just dumb assets. And I’m in favor of using assets when needed rather than have some hard rule about how untouchable they are.
But yeah — stick to trading with the east on this sort of thing. :)

Some should be untouchable now though, you always wanna keep your system nice and stocked for cold weather. Schultz from this moment on should be untouchable unless we get a total win.

I’m with Earl here. Prospects don’t really mean anything because that’s what they are, prospects. There’s no guarantee that they can produce at the NHL level. There have been plenty of major failures in the NHL. And then there are always those gems that come out of nowhere. Trading an NHL ready player means a lot more than trading a prospect. Especially if they have the belief that they have better prospects waiting.
Would Lupul have still been on the 3rd line next season? Chances are Selanne will retire and Lupul is a legitimate 2nd line forward. But you never know with RC.
Sure, but I don’t know that he’d be any sort of value then, either. He’s no Teemu, that’s for sure.

Still have yet to really see anything like that from Loops — that’s why I’m glad somebody else pays him now.

I’m a huge Lilja supporter — see the constant Pep Boys chatter in my posts — but I actually didn’t like him too much with Fowler. They got scored on a ton.
Lilja’s a great bottom-pairing guy, though — between that and the PK he’s still in my everyday lineup.

I like him too. Frankie moves everyone around a bit though. Only two players are moving off that blue line Sutton or Lilja.

By the way, not terribly important, but in case people forgot, Beauchemin was the inspiration for my first blog poem:
ODE TO FRENCHY:
Fedorov joined us in 2003’s summer
Replacing Kariya, who left (what a bummer!)
After the rollback, he was still overpaid,
Now that his skills were starting to fade.
Carlyle and Burke had seen quite enough
Off to Columbus for prospects and such!
I’ll admit; I was skeptical about the whole deal
Silly me! How could I miss such a steal?
Before you arrived, I never knew who you were,
Even now that you’ve been with us, I’m not really sure,
Alas! It’s not always easy to see what you bring for us,
Usually ‘cause your partner has been Mr. Norris.
Captain Iginla found out your fists are an asset,
Hitting is also! Just ask Andrew Brunette.
Even though we lost to the Oil (boo hoo!)
Mainly the question has been "Sergei WHO?"
I speak for all Duck fans—we’re glad that you’re here,
Now can you be even better next year?
Classic.
www.battleofcali.com
from Hockey’s future
Gardiner is a versatile offensive defenseman with size, quick feet and great hands. He was quickly able to adjust and adapt to playing on the blueline after having played much of his career as a forward. Gardiner has demonstrated remarkably sound and smart positional play. He utilizes his speed and hockey instincts to play the defensive position effectively. It is further enhanced by his tremendous on-ice awareness, and his ability to read and react to developing plays accordingly
Let's go Ducks.
That all sounds great and good, but I never get much out of these scouting reports. Who can’t be described as a solid player with potential?
www.battleofcali.com
I know it is only college level, but the dude has been doing about 1 goal/game. I plan to be a duckie fan for a long time and it woulda been nice to see if the kid coulda translated that to the NHL and if so to have an offensive/defensive player, we wouldn’t have known to to act.
Let's go Ducks.
1 point per game, I think. If it’s 1 goal per game then yeah — we had Ovechkin and let him go.
www.battleofcali.com
you are right. I must remember that reading is fundamental and not optional skimming.
Let's go Ducks.
I still feel we got out pocket picked on this trade. And I like home grown talent to cheer for.
I am not complaining cause Francois is cute and I could listen to his interviews all day. More men should have great accents. :)

Nice piece on the difficulty the Leafs will have in replacing Beauchemin’s minutes. Included was this tidbit about J.S. Giguere — let’s get him next! :)
A Stanley Cup champion with the Ducks in 2007, Beauchemin exchanged a few words with Giguere on Wednesday morning. The Quebec native had a limited no-trade clause, submitting a list of twelve teams to which he would accept a trade to prior to the season.
Anaheim was on the list.

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" -- Benjamin Franklin
well … it’s a long story … so sit down … started long before the accident even happened … I have this food processor thing that does everything, have had it for eons, but only use the mixing bit, not the chopping bit – so had put the blade away in a drawer, long before I had kids and completely forgot all about it …
move forward a few years when I had kids, and one day I noticed that my youngest (who was a toddler) was holding something … I looked closely and it was this damn cutting blade … fuck! there goes me being a lousy mother … I completely forgot it was in the drawer and both kids would grab things from there to play with … as kids do
so I put it up in the cabinet above the stove … and again, forgot bout it … I never used the thing
flash forward many many years again …
so I am watching a friend’s boys and open that cabinet for something, things must have shifted for some reason … all I know is something started to fall and instinct had me reaching to grab hold of what was falling … bad mistake …
it sliced right under my left thumb really deep … according to the boys’ dad I was going into shock from loss of blood .. he took me to the emergency room where they stitched me up – by the way, I HATE needles …
next day at my doctors he tells me that they have to do surgery to undo the stitches, stitch up all the nerves, and I’ll have to have physical therapy …
where normally you could touch your thumb to your pinky finger, I couldn’t … took quite alot of work to get me back there … and I was a programmer at that time, wasn’t suppose to type … yeah right, I didn’t listen … I still used that hand minus the thumb … :)
it’s still not 100% … don’t have all the feeling there … cept when something hard lands on it … then there is intense pain shooting up my arm … but ah well … I’m just glad nothing happened to the boys from my stupid mistake of not throwing it away in the first damn place … :)

Also, I didn’t think it was too much an issue, but the internet has lots of opinions, so:
The NHL’s hockey operations staff in Toronto took a look at the hit Wednesday night but a source said it deemed the hit legal so Getzlaf won’t face any further discipline.
I’m still waiting to see if Vancouver mysteriously comes out with a new video to vilify the guy, though, a la Pronger and Stompgate.

Well, in terms of impact it was definitely reviewable — Hamhuis went down unconscious after hitting the boards, and spent an entire commercial break in getting to his knees.
The hit’s up at Nucks Misconduct or Puck Daddy, if you want to see it, but it was just a finished check that Hamhuis put himself in a very bad position for — if the Canucks don’t want opponents finishing all their checks, they should probably win a little less frequently at home. :)
