Ducks Gameday—Carolina Candy Canes
Anaheim Ducks (28-5-6, 1st in west) at Carolina Hurricanes (20-15-4, 4th in east)
There’s plenty of storylines for tonight’s game:
- the top team from this regular season vs. the defending Cup champs
- injuries preventing an all-Conn-Smythe goaltender matchup (the Ducks’ Wall-McKee tandem has a combined 2 games of NHL experience)
- The Ducks' first game this year without Francois Beauchemin (lacerated spleen)
- ridiculous travel (Carolina played last night in Buffalo, while Anaheim somehow got Raleigh thrown in between stops in San Jose and St. Paul)
- Rod Brind’Amour night in Raleigh commemorating his 1,000th NHL point
Look out, ‘Canes. It’s payback night.
Prediction: Ducks 4, Hurricanes 2. Goals by Pronger, Kunitz, Pahlsson, and Getzlaf.
p.s. Congrats to BoC all-star Mike Chen for his new work on FoxSports.

Never thought I'd ever say this but... (deep breath) Go Ducks.
Don't blame Wall for the loss tonight. The Telkwa Kid played alright.
Jordi: what was in your drink today? =D Haha, I wouldn't have thought you'd say "Go Ducks!"
Certainly been a rough couple of games!!!
*poke* it's been awful quiet round these parts. 'course, I have no life, so... maybe I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for a new BoC post!
and of course, the almighty hurricanes win. GO CANES GO!
