PRE-GAME RANT
Ducks… An outfit once owned and operated by some Mickey Mouse operation. Sound familiar? The Ducks have lost Getzlaf with the same ankle issue that nearly clipped his wings for an Olympic appearance and James ‘Forearm Shiver’ Wisniewski is still suspended. Down, but not out, yet with only 9 games remaining and trailing 8th by 11 points the Ducks will be dusting off the golf clubs around the same time as the boys in blue. This will be the first meeting between the two clubs since the swapping of Lubo for Whitney, and with the Oil on a 3 game tear and not a care in the world, I’m pretty sure we can run our win streak up to 4 against the Mighty Quacks. Patty O has been cleared to play and Gagner left practice early, so maybe they’ll trade spots tonight. As for Petry making an appearance tonight, no word yet.

I hope Lubo gets a big ass ovation from the fans. Hope Whitney has a huge game, should be a gooder.
I’m sure Lubo will get some love, but they’ll have to save some for Toad.
Puritania: agree on all of that. I miss Lubo, but Whitney has been awesome and has helped turn Gilbert around. Seems to be a fairly even trade now.
Yeah same here Racki, I miss Lubo but Whitney has been looking great too. I’m particularly pleased with the character he has shown. Every time that guy speaks I hear a leader talking.
yeah, agree with all of what’s been said so far about Whitney, it will be an especially good feeling in about 3 years when Whitney is peaking and Lubo is either retired or on his last legs.
The Mustache has the only goal of the game so far?
Wow, this GDT is the fail of the century. hehe Just got back from the gym and a haircut. How’s the game been so far?
yeah, i’m lonely, someone hold me?
Been watching in the background. Doing taxes. More exciting outcome than the game.
Some good pressure with no time left and the goalie pulled. Good time to start paying attention! They totally blew my 4 in a row prediction though.
Don’t be sure about those taxes being more exciting!
lol, it took a 6on3 pp for the oil but they finally score a PP goal!
Sure liked the grit I saw from Whitney tonite… anyone think him and Bodie like each other much?
LOL, yah, not a lot of love between those two. Good of Bodie to throw some shots it while Whitney wasn’t facing him and unable to fight back.
and Whitney is the one to get a 10 at the end of the game and Bodie gets nadda. Next game between these 2 might be a good one.
