Post-Game: Ducks head to the Olympic break victoriously beating the Oilers 7-3.

Boxscore

Recap

So i guess Ryan Getzlaf is good to go to the Vancouver? Just a dominate performance last night by Getzlaf, he recorded 2 goals, and 2 assists in total of 19:28 ice time. He also had 6 shots, 4 hits and 5 takeaways in the win over the Oilers. In my opinion, Getzy looked like he came to the game to make a statement, and that he certainly made. Great game by Getzlaf and to me, he looked like he's normal self and ready to head to the Vancouver winter Olympic games to represent team Canada. But enough of Getzlaf. Ducks were finally able to get a solid 60 minute effort, and it definitely made the difference in the hockey game. I know it's just the Oilers, but still, nice way to head to the break.

Ducks recorded their season-high 46 shots on goal, and tied their season-high potting 7 goals, 4 of them, which came on the powerplay. Overall, Ducks powerplay went 4 for 11, in a penalty filled match up. Infact, almost half of the game was played on special teams, as the two teams recorded only 33:37 of even strenght play. Still, the Ducks looked good the whole game long, expect for Steve Eminger, who somehow managed to be -2 on the game. I probably can't stress enough, how bad of a signing GM Bob Murray made by acquiring Eminger in the off-season. Just a terrible signing, especially considering Eminger still has one year left after this one on his contract. Hopefully Bob Murray has something planned to get rid of him, covering up his own mistake.

It took 62 games to finally see a bit of that long awaited chemistry of Finnish Olympians, Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu. Tonight they once again formed a line with Jason Blake, and i thought they looked good, especially in the early stages of the game. That's definitely good news for the ones who will cheer for team Finland, in the upcoming Olympics, such as myself. Good luck to Teemu & Saku, and the whole team Finland in the Olympics!

Finally, it's refreshing to see a road win for this hockey club. Hopefully they can manage to steal points again on the road after the olympic break. Ducks have 20 games left this season, 8 on the road and 12 at Honda Center. Make a late season push this season as well, and the Ducks should quack at the playoffs again.

But now to the long awaited Olympics break, i think these winter Olympic games should be one of the best ones ever, so get your beer on, and enjoy watching the best hockey players in the world. Good luck to all of the Ducks players, have fun out there! :)
