I love playing the Ducks- there's nothing like it. The rivalry amongst Northern and Southern California, the high-skill level on both teams, the fact that all 36 skaters seem to give a little extra oomph into each check- it's a recipe for some exciting tilts. There's bound to be a lot of barbaric behavior tonight as the last meeting featured three fights. Make sure to adjust your mouthpieces accordingly.
Anaheim has effectively broken out of their early season slump, posting a 15-6-3 record after they earned their first win against the Sharks nearly two months ago. Teemu Selanne is as dangerous as ever on the power play (with 12 PPG), and a post dental-visit Ryan Getzlaf is flirting with a possible (although fairly unlikely) shot at the Art Ross Trophy.
A helping hand in the community and an owner of some of the best hands on the Ducks, Ryan Getzlaf's mitts are never too full due to their immense size.
From what I can remember (in regards to the 4-0 loss in Anaheim), Giggy was positioned very well and didn't give up a whole lot of rebounds- when he did, the Ducks defense did an excellent job of tying up our forwards sticks in front so we were limited in our second chances (something that has been huge thus far in our scoring production). I don't remember seeing too much of Getzlaf or Perry, but their productivity has gone through the roof as of late so I would expect that line to be a big factor tonight.
I have a load of commitments this week (translation: this is the extent of my preview), but will be in the open game thread later tonight where we will celebrate a 3-1 Sharks victory at roughly 10 PM Pacific Standard Time. Goals from Marleau, Boyle, and Pavelski.
Don't forget your SPG Picks folks.
Go Sharks.
[Editor's Note]: Thornton engaged, Cheechoo unlikely, Lukowich possible.
Joe Thornton got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Tabea Pfendsack. The two met while Thornton was playing in Switzerland during the 2004-05 lockout season and have been together ever since.....
.....McLellan didn’t rule out having Cheechoo in the lineup, but did say he didn’t think it was likely that he’d be out there against the Ducks.....
.....Brad Lukowich practiced for a second day after leaving the Columbus game early with a groin injury, and McLellan said the decision on whether he would play would be made tomorrow morning.
[Update 2:28 PM]: H/T to SwisherThresher & Section223 for their freakishly coinciding heads up's.
Jonathan Cheechoo will miss his fifth consecutive game with an upper body injury and Brad Lukowich will sit out his second with a groin problem. That gives forward Tom Cavanagh a third consecutive start on the fourth line since being called up from Worcester. And it puts defenseman Alexei Semonov out there for consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 24

Throwback night at the Tank?

You might be poking fun
But damn I miss that old Disney logo (or even the idea of having a team logo). Just had to say it.

I actually prefer both logos to their modern day counterparts…..
What I don’t understand is why there aren’t more “throwback nights” during the course of the season. I understand they’re trying to protect the validity of the new RBK jerseys, but one game out of the year wouldn’t hurt, and it may even increase merchandise sales. Set it up so it’s against a division rival and you’ve got a pretty good deal. The MLB does it all the time.

Tabea Pfendsack?
She’s clearly made up to deflect astute observations of Joe Thornton’s obvious homosexuality. I mean, am I crazy, I can’t believe I’m the only one who sees that.

Questionable observation at best, but if you’re right I would assume he’s more of the “giver” rather than the “taker”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

this'll be a very good game
we all know this is always a heated game and the ducks play tough. The Sharks can’t underestimate this team. The NHL season may be a long one, but every game is crucial. This one for the Sharks is one of the most crucial.
"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, 'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.' Such is the rule of honor." Omerta by Lamb of God

The latest form Pollack:
Jonathan Cheechoo will miss his fifth consecutive game with an upper body injury and Brad Lukowich will sit out his second with a groin problem. That gives forward Tom Cavanagh a third consecutive start on the fourth line since being called up from Worcester. And it puts defenseman Alexei Semonov out there for consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 24
More from the Merc:
- The Sharks have dominated most teams over the past two seasons but own a 4-3-4 record against the Ducks. – Anaheim is the only team to shut out the Sharks this season. – Anaheim was the only team to shut out the Sharks in the regular season a year ago. – Anaheim is the last team to shut out the Sharks at HP Pavilion.

Okay, so I've been giving some thought
to this conversation up thread about Big Joe’s sexual preference. And it’s got me to thinking. I mean, what’s that old adage, the best defense if a good offense? Oh…yeah. So, who’s doing the protesting here? Hmm.
But that got me thinking more. (my ex says that’s a dangerous thing, but….) Why would these, presumably I admit, friends of hockey suddenly begin to cast dispersions upon Big Joe? What’s that all about? Then I thought about that offense/defense thing. What could they be attempting to defend? Could this be a smoke screen? If so, for what?
Then a revelation. It was like a light bulb. What else could it be? Of course. Who on that Duck team is so outwardly agressive….so obviously trying to prove his manhood? Why could that be? It has become as obvious as the swollen, red, nose on my face. And it suddenly makes sense….
Big Joe may be the giver…but Pronger is the taker.

however race has absolutely nothing to do with it. That is depending on what your opinion of racism is. From what I can tell people do attribute racism as the cause of things they shouldnt, something that unfortunately we may have to get used to. Everyone is a little racist, it just takes the less racist ones to admit it. I have the feeling atwa would have a hard time identifying the times he’s been racist.

I’m not familiar with the fine a coach thing, mind filling me in?
by sharks on Dec 11, 2008 9:50 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
It’s a rule they put in a few years ago (since the lockout, I believe). Basically if a player takes an instigator penalty in the final five minutes of a game, then the player can be suspended one game and the coach can be fined $10k, though sometimes this gets waived. It’s to deter ugly shenanigans at the end of a blowout game.
Kris Versteeg of the Blackhawks got one of these the other day in a 7-1 win over PHX, and Quenneville got the $10k fine. I always feel bad, though, because I think the coach is generally the lowest-paid person on the bench, more or less.

by sharks on Dec 11, 2008 9:54 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Actually, mostly I think it’s waived, when you can demonstrate that a person “belonged” on the ice in the last five minutes. I remember the first time it was up for a ruling, and Gretzky avoided a $10k fine because Shane Doan got the instigator, but it wasn’t as if he was a muscle guy sent out for a message.

Fear The Fin: Where the second round is overrated.
by Mr. Plank on Dec 11, 2008 9:56 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Theoretically it’s the coach’s fault for putting such a player out there. They don’t like fining players for being “who they are”.

let me think a moment … hmmm …. NO! … could log on as my oldest (he’s 17) and pretend I know what I’m doing as I die … but I think surfing the net might work out better for me .. :)

what game?
I also am not online with the xbox, but i heard it was cheap so Im planning on signing on when i move.

Im pretty sure they dropped it down to like 200 bucks, so with NHL 09 it would run you just under 300 dollars (plus taxes).
I also play WWE Smackdown vs. Raw and GOW 2, but havent ventured online in either of those yet.

i bet multi player hockey is pretty sick
i always got tired of the computer sucking.
Me and two of my other friends have a lot of fun playing soccer multiplayer, much much better than by yourself. bet its the same for hockey.

Ah, lost in (drunken) translation.
I’m pretty sure Live is $20 for 3 months, and 09 is $60, so it should be around $85.00 or so with taxes.
Help the government bail out the auto industry. Buy your NHL 09 today!
