New, 52 comments

I don't know why you would want to see the same photo 27 times, but there you go.

  • Slide 1 This is a photo of Phil Kessel.
  • Slide 2 This is the same photo of Phil Kessel.
  • Slide 3 Seriously, this goes on for 24 more slides.
  • Slide 4 It's not even that great of a photo
  • Slide 5 Here it is again.
  • Slide 6 This slide isn't different, and the next one won't be.
  • Slide 7 I told you.
  • Slide 8 You just don't listen.
  • Slide 9 This photo, by the way, is courtesy of Abelimages
  • Slide 10 It's used with permission because of some contract SBNation has with Abelimages.
  • Slide 11 I haven't seen the contract, I'm just taking SBNation's word for it.
  • Slide 12 Maybe someone from Abelimages can confirm?
  • Slide 13 I guess from a technical standpoint, it's not a bad picture
  • Slide 14 Like, the photographer is doing a fine job
  • Slide 15 It's just not that interesting of a photo.
  • Slide 16 I could really go for a burrito right now.
  • Slide 17 No aluminum foil though, don't want to make that one guy mad
  • Slide 18 Oh, you're still here? Man, you must really like Phil Kessel
  • Slide 19 PHOTO HUNT: There are 11 differences between this photo and the others. Can you spot them all?
  • Slide 20 Just kidding, there were no differences in that last photo.
  • Slide 21 You're kind of creeping me out now. Do you have some sort of Kessel fetish?
  • Slide 22 You like that? You like what you see?
  • Slide 23 That's a good looking Kessel, isn't it?
  • Slide 24 You creep.
  • Slide 25 We're almost at the end, the picture hasn't changed. I wasn't lying.
  • Slide 26 One more to go...
  • Slide 27 I told you. All the same photos. I can't believe you clicked through all of them.

I hope you enjoyed the above slideshow. You weird motherfucker.

Anyway, I'm writing this Monday morning, the morning after Ryan Garbutt murdered Dustin Penner by steamrolling the pancake-eater with a dirty, flying headshot (in a game where the Ducks steamrolled the Dallas Stars 6-3). But this is well before any supplemental discipline has been handed down to Garbutt, so we're not too sure what's coming, but something is definitely coming. We do know that Garbutt is getting an in-person hearing (as opposed to a phone conference), which means he's eligible for a suspension over 5 games, but doesn't necessarily mandate that he'll get more than 5.

Yikes. Hopefully Penner recovers quickly and Garbutt sits for a very long time.

On a more positive note, our horrible power play is slightly less horrible. Out of 5 power plays Sunday night, the Ducks converted 2 of them. That's nothing amazing, but sure is better than the 4.4% effectiveness we were previously looking at. As of this writing, that moves us from last-in-league to third-from-last-in-the-league with 9.4% - PROGRESS!

After a perfect five game homestand that extended our winning streak to a franchise recording-tying 7 games, the Ducks now start an 8 game road trip, beginning in Toronto. Let's hope we can ride that 9.4% power play to victory!

Gameday Prediction

You'll be seeing a lot of Phil Kessel.

Classic Moment

To help commemorate the Ducks' 20th year this season, each gameday I'll be posting a clip of a classic moment from the team's history against that night's opponent. Here is today's...

On January 31, 2010 the Anaheim Ducks traded their Stanley Cup winning goaltender, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, to Toronto in exchange for Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala.
