I only got one wish for this team before some of the players head on to Vancouver's Winter Olympics, and some start to enjoy this rare 2½ week vacation. Play good, solid hockey for the full 60 minutes. That's all i ask. Last year, when the Ducks kind of sucked, (before they made their late season surge) well at then, they still played hard the whole match. They didn't have all the world's skill in their offence, but they still tried their best each and every night. Now, that could be questioned, because i don't know what do tell you after last night's performance in Calgary. I just hope the players, the coaching staff, fuck, even trainers will realize how important these games actually are. It would suck to look at back in June to these games and say "oh man, how the heck they dropped the ball against the Oilers?" So let's just cheer this Ducks team to take the two points tonight, and then just enjoy watching Olympics, sound good? :)
No brainfarts and mental errors on defence, offence hard on the forecheck and along the boards, all while generating quality scoring chances against maybe the worst defensive team in the NHL. Finally Hiller, or maybe Toskala, to give us a solid performance on the net. Those things should be the keys to the game from Anaheim's perspective. Also including the, oh so important, full 60 minutes effort from all of the guys and they should be fine in this game.
Anaheim Ducks (29-25-7, t-11th in the West)
G/G: 2.72
GA/G: 2.98
PP: 19.2
PK: 80.6
Edmonton Oilers (19-35-6, 15th in the West)
G/G: 2.42
GA/G: 3.33
PP: 18.5
PK: 76.6
...from what i saw last night, the Ducks lines were kind of messed up, so i don't want to speculate them at all (probably might want to head off to OC Register for that), just hopefully Getzlaf will be back in action.
GO Ducks!
