Season seat prices actually went down next year compared to this year.

It's hard to say all season when he missed more than half of the season with concussion symptoms. I also think he was a lot better than you're leading on.

There are a few youtube streams that you can find. Check out the Ducks reddit. Someone always posts them on there.

Anyone going to the game tonight?

My problem is that you go on these bizarre less than informed rants. I get that you're wanting the rain but try to keep it in with reality (which is what I try to inform you on). At first I tried to explain it to you with links, summaries, etc. You'd either ignore it or glaze over what I posted. I nearly studied meteorology for my undergraduate degree and still try to stay informed with new and developing weather stories. With that said I am nowhere near an expert in weather, but I'm always open to discussions about it. Your posts are not discussions, however. You constantly knock NOAA without basis other than, "they predicted this and it's not happening!!!!!!!!" when it's just that: a prediction. Many of the forecasts use historical data to predict future weather (e.g. rainier winters for SoCal in El Nino seasons). NOAA isn't completely guilt-free, either. Their satellites are OLD and inadequate compared to other countries. They do use European models as guidance, which have actually been more accurate, sadly. I guess what I'm really trying to say, something I've said multiple times in this thread, is that meteorology isn't an exact science and most likely never will be. It's pointless to blame NOAA or get all ranty for no reason. That, or I probably just shouldn't respond to the posts.

No it doesn't.

On a separate note, did anyone get playoff tickets? I can't freaking wait for the playoffs.

I think hockey analytics has a ways to go. With that said the current advanced stats heavily favor Lindholm over Fowler. Fowler is signed for another two years at $4 million. I think Lindholm will get something similar to what Dougie Hamilton got (6 years at 5.75 million), maybe a bit less on average for Hampus. Putting those two together and knowing Fowler is going to get a raise, I think the easy choice is Hampus in the future. He'll be younger, cheaper, and I think more effective.

That's really weird that Vats is with the team now after Theo was called up. No Stoner AND Bieksa?! One can dream, right?

Watching that hit still makes my blood f**king boil. BS play, particularly when the Avs were responsible for Despres missing 40 games this season for a concussion. Still can't believe that was missed AND the Ducks got a hooking penalty seconds after.

Backstory: that Kings fan was incredibly drunk. To the point where my friend said he could barely keep his eyes open at one point. Also, all of the kings fans stuck up for the Ducks fans (my friends).

Yeah I am. I have a second seat if anyone is interested in buying a few games.

It's funny Cory. The Kings fan was actually talking shit to a friend of mine... Who's a Kings fan. Can we conclude that kings fans are cannibals now?

https://www.reddit.com/r/losangeleskings/comments/4957b4/fan_brawl_in_sec207/ Don't know if anyone saw this. My friend was involved here. Not sure how to post videos from my iPhone, but the Kings fan was awful. He called my friend and his friends p*ssies and their girlfriends skanks. He ended up getting cuffed and a "one year ban". I put it in quotes because my friend saw Staples security let him go without consequence.

Wait for the second present: pink eye. You'll like this one even better.

Favorite thing about McGinn; dude goes to the dirty areas. He's a better skater than Maroon by a mile, too.

I beginning to balk at the thought of trading Larsson now. Dude just played 25 minutes with a goal in his last game, all while playing for the SHL's second best club at 19 years old. Maybe the Ducks should go with an all Swedish d-core? Jokes aside, Larsson is looking real, real good for his draft +1 year.

I'm still thinking a Montour + 1st for Drouin would be a good move. The Ducks can't have Santa and Stewart in top six roles in the playoffs.

Ridiculous price for a rental, but damn they look scary now.

Also pretty happy this got the go ahead: http://m.ocregister.com/articles/ice-705431-complex-ducks.html

Anyone going tonight?

FYI, any Pliny the Younger fans; the Tustin Brewing Co. will be selling tickets tomorrow. UCI just did for the pub on campus today.

Game was a blast. The Ducks have scored 33 goals in their last eight games ; talk about en fuego. Can't wait for the two bottom dwellers to come to town (part of the reason is to see McJesus and Eichel in person).

I miss Tad.
