UPDATED: Second look at the Preds-Ducks series

by SPADE-IN-VICTORHELL on Apr 13, 2011 6:49 AM PDT

my kinda first look...yup carpets match the drapes..wait you dont trim!!

Oh my gawd it will be a long couple of days till wednesday for us ducks fans...that co-worker who passes the buck and never takes responsibility will be even be more annoying than usual...your dawg will seem to need more attention than normal...you mom will call like a telemarketer.....spelling nazi** critiuqes will be like acid on your balls..only daydreaming will be your comfort and of course this blog during work hours..Im pretty jacked myself...although feeling like Im operating on one testicle...

that's because we drew fuckin nashville....wait let me correct that we drew shea weber, ryan suter and pekke fucking rinne....honestly its us against that trio hands down. Our ability to crack there rock hard* armor will be the key....I am encourage by the fact we were able to post 4 goals on that trio albeit in a game nashville might have feel asleep on as they were up on us bigtime early...question is if ellis or emry is net for that game do we win it?...my guess the preds dont relax and give up as many goals..but still..perhaps the ducks found a chink(racist sorry chen and earl) in the armor...or just found the gear/style that will be successful for this series

Im not sure how the ducks will try to start to attack..nashville wants to score off turnovers in the nuetral zone..using there speed to counter attack..the dmen I think really need to stay home as much as possible...Im grateful brrokbank has rounded into form as the 6th dman...even though he's not the most fleet footed guy..hes more likely to keep up with nashville forwards than lilja and sutton..//I believe the ducks will be hesiitant early on...try not to get burn..if thats the right stragedy instead of pressing them hard early and trying to make them come from behind Idunno

the ducks PP I think will be Key more than anything..especially against this team

but yea..I think against any other team in the playoffs you could just play your game..but against this team because of the trio you have to adjust...and I hope the ducks do...me I have to adjust ~~till waiting till wednesday...~~which might mean throwing a certain co-worker or spelling nazi who looks like a futurama guy over my 2nd floor mezzanine I work on!

p.s.

~~Im gonna try to finagle going to the game on friday...if i cant want to watch it somewhere..any suggestions?~~

with no one offering up there house for me to come watch sniffle sniffle...I got out of the dinosaur age and got HD tv finally and will be watching from the friendly confines of the spade-cave...anyone can join me in bumfuck egypt iif they can brave the drive///tonite or friday your welcome ....just bring beer and a sunny disposition

Here were the line rushed according to the OC register...intresting 3rd line no?...the fact that winchester is not on it satisfies me to no end and I'm willing to try this combo...as el nino has always been responsible defensivly if nothing else..I still would have preferred secton over el nino...but beggars will not be choosers...I also would have took ruutu energy, forechecking and PK ability over the nothing that winchester provides..but maybe this isnt the final line combos...still if it is I can live with it

Bobby Ryan-Ryan Getzlaf-Corey Perry

Jason Blake-Saku Koivu-Teemu Selanne

Matt Beleskey-Nick Bonino-Brandon McMillan

Brad Winchester-Todd Marchant-George Parros

Jarkko Ruutu-Kyle Chipchura-Dan Sexton

p.s.s. yea the jeff miller article was stupid but get over nashville geez

GO DUCKS!!!!

*Rudy just got a hard on

**Meg is gayer

Good work, Spade — I’m having a heck of a time trying to preview this series, because who knows what Ducks team shows up on Wednesday? They’re a team that can beat anybody or get beaten by anybody — doesn’t truly matter if it’s Nashville or Chicago or any of the other top eight.

The good thing is the Preds are disciplined and systematic, and that may help the Ducks respond similarly — will be tough to get too hotheaded against a bunch of robots.

They do have tootoo to mix it up…maybe ruutuu and tootoo coocuu cachew will both get misconucts and get themselves kicked out

question I forgot to pose…does ryan stay on the 3rd line?…whats your thoughts of him there?

belesky again doesnt look out of place al la kyle calder on the top line?

I don’t mind switching the two guys around, but Winchester United on the top line isn’t impressing. I’d rather stick Sex Offender there, frankly.

I didn’t watch the last game i was entertaining that nite..took the nite off like the kings did….are u serious winchester was up there?….jesus I hope that not a sign of anything? seriously..sit winch and dress 7 dmen

I think though but bobby back on the top line for starters and drop him if things cant get going…thats My opinion

I still think Winshester is a black hole. He can’t seem to do anything productive no matter what line he’s on. B-Ry and McMuffin have seemed to work well in the past. If they can pick up a third to compliment that line (winch doesn’t qualify in my book), it could provide yet another threat. Of course, it also means that since B-Ry has been attending the Getzlaf School of Passing, there would be a turnover machine on both the first and third lines.

Nope. They sat him to give Beleskey a shot and never let him back into the lineup. I understand he doesn’t have the numbers, but Ryan/Beleskey-McMillan-Sexton might be so helpful during the playoffs. It would just bring a new element of speed to soften up defenses and let the top line go in for the death blow.
