CBJ wins. CHI beats Dallas. 

We are one point away from guaranteed 3 or better in the lottery. With falling below Chicago a possibility.

A fourth or better pick in the draft would net us a high quality player in this draft.

We need better coaches more than players. We are at the point of becoming Buffalo if we don't start improving dramatically next season.

Stoned. Perfect pass by Z in the slot wide open. Mctavish would have potted the high bar. Stoned did his stonehands impression

Five more games and he can take his millions to Sweden and enjoy some lower level hockey.

Well, the ducks showed some pluck tonight

[gotbeer]

OH well. Exciting game. Leo and Z really shined. And nesterenko gives the ducks something to think about. I'd still like to see a z/vatrano /nesterenko line

[gotbeer]

While we are out of the playoffs. Tonights game has huge playoffs implications. Kings are even in games played with Vegas with 5 to play. Kings hold a one point lead in the standings. If the kings win, they will have a 3 point lead with 4 to play vs the knights 5 to play. If they lose 1 point advantage with 4 to play and the knights game in hand. The reward to finishing above the knights, playing Edmonton. Being in the wild card spot means no longer facing the Canucks, but the Dallas stars. Tough road either way. But Dallas is a beast.  So let's win tonight.

[deepdrive]

Seems like tonight's a game that neither team has a lot at stake. It could make it a good game though.

[gotbeer]

Lol at the game going to commercial while they are playing.

[gotbeer]

What a way to stay with the play by Vatrano.  

[gotbeer]

Tie game after 1.  Not bad.  Especially after the start.  Big plus.  No penalties.  

[gotbeer]

Did they just put Nesterenko on the Terry/Carlsson line?  That would be interesting.

[gotbeer]

Well, after 2 periods.  It's a really good game so far.  Like a playoff game.

[gotbeer]

Oh yeah.  What a pretty PP to start the third.

[gotbeer]

Wow. what a bullshit call again.

[gotbeer]

Yeah.  Killorn was kind of pissed.  haha.

[gotbeer]

Now that was a Z play.  

[gotbeer]

Also, it's pretty amazing how Z can routinely make a cross ice pass in the zone tape to tape, and do it making it look easy.  Where other players on the team have those passes constantly blocked.  

[deepdrive]

On the I40. So, I'm only getting the radio. 'Sounds' like a good game, though.

[gotbeer]

Man, that post by Z was amazingly beautiful.  How in the world does he have enough vision to jump up so he gets out of his own way of a shot.

Great game.  Everyone is playing with a purpose.  All lines are just going at the Kings.  Dostal is a wall.  No one is reaching on the Ducks.  Playing the body.  Relying on their teammates to back them up.  It's been beautiful. 

And Dostal tries for it. lol.  

[gotbeer]

Man.  Best game by far for the Ducks all season.  There was no weakness.  PP, PK, defense, offense, goalie.  Everything was smooth as butter.

It's worth a watch when you get home.  It's one of those games, where you will say where the F has this team been all season.

Yeah, I'll be back in a day or two. I think I'll do that. Might as well get my last bit of use out of Bally.

Have you read anything on what the Ducks plans are going forward with media ?

Nope. Nothing at all.
