Ducks Gameday -- (R)anger Management

by Earl Sleek on Mar 9, 2011 6:35 AM PST

New York Rangers (35-29-4) at Anaheim Ducks (35-26-5), 7:30 pm
Blueshirt Banter and Anaheim Calling -- does anybody miss Aaron Voros?

A lot of you probably think that I wake up on gamedays and start writing a post, and a lot of times that's true, but sometimes I'm motivated enough to get things started the night before. For instance, today, when I woke up to find that I put this much together last night. Hooray!

Who's been drinking?

Sleek's been drinking!

Who's been drinking?

Sleek's been drinking!

Almost literally a 30-second cartoon.

Ain't that just adorable? I can't even bring myself to delete that and start this post over.

Anyways, since I'm a bit sluggish this Vegas morning, instead of putting something meaningful together for today's game, I thought I'd just go back to the blog archive vault and add to an annual tradition: Ducks year-by-year post-trade-deadline lineups. These aren't perfect by any means (mostly I'm just copying what I did last year, which in turn is copied from the year before, etc.), but it's a handy guide as to how the team has evolved over time.

After the jump, the last six post-deadline depth charts -- feel free to reminisce about specific years or players, or alternatively talk about how cool it is that Luca Sbisa got a four-year extension. Open thread!

Four players, all forwards, appear on all six of these charts: Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Teemu Selanne, and Todd Marchant. Go Die-Hards!

Prediction: Tonight's game is a rare 7:30 start in Anaheim, which should help out the early-first-period crowd somewhat. But it's not on Fox Sports West, so I don't think I'll be able to watch and comment tonight. Ducks have played two games fewer than the Rangers and have one more standings point, but the Rangers are currently sitting in their conference's top eight -- jerks. Ducks 4, Rangers 3. Goals by the Finns -- Jar Jar, Teemu, Four Eyes, and the hopefully-returned Saku.

Go Ducks.

Oh, Fernet’s not really a mixed drink — it’s a liquor unto itself. And I wouldn’t hustle too much, or buy too big a bottle — it tastes pretty awful. Kind of like Kahlua on steroids.

by Earl Sleek on Mar 9, 2011 7:01 AM PST up reply actions

Forgot to add: Fernet’s biggest asset is that your second sip will taste better than your first sip, and your third will taste better than your second. But it’s all relative, and probably just a function of drinking more. :)

I like it more, but a Redwings win would have upped the Ducks slim hopes of making the playoffs..

Also, now that I think about it — the Ducks should just start shooting at the nearest Ranger. Seems all goals have gone in off a Ranger tonight.

If Getzlaf had 11 shots on goal last game, I’d bet 9 of them were meant as passes.

Anger Management

Another driver makes an inappropriate hand gesture on the road. A parent screams at a child. A customer verbally abuses the cashier at the supermarket. A teacher yells at his or her student. These are all expressions of anger when we lose control. Fury is a hostile missal looking for a target. The intent of rage is to inflict pain and humiliation on a specific or undefined mark amid a flurry of self-righteous indignation. Unfortunately there exists within all but the righteous, a loose cannon with a fuse of varying lengths ready to fire a barrage. The angry person has lost all reason and is on a rampage of destruction with no impulse control. So, how do we tame this inner beast? Anger, which arises from the spiritual element of fire, is a function of arrogance. Therefore, management requires humility. This, however, immediately begs the question, "How does the arrogant person who frequently explodes into a rage become humble?" The process of change is one of replacement or substituting one thing for another. Humility and pride are opposite components existing within the divided soul – the first emanating from Godliness and the later from evil. Thus, even the most arrogant person has a potential for humility because every aspect of being has its opposite. Thus, it is possible for anyone, at any time, to engage in a single act of humility. When such a window of opportunity opens up, we can ask ourselves, "What else is possible?" and then learn how to give up being right and to dismantle the upset.
