I can't say that my viewing habits are the cause of anything, but just in case, be prepared.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-65792062459434908552008-04-10T13:46:00.000-07:002008-04-10T13:46:00.000-07:00Don't forget to tack on four or five hours for ove...Don't forget to tack on four or five hours for overtime.Doogie2Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703778878103452453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-60724222586107771112008-04-10T12:34:00.000-07:002008-04-10T12:34:00.000-07:00You're right, Bryan, it shouldn't matter too much ...You're right, Bryan, it shouldn't matter too much who steps in net for the Ducks; especially lately it's tough to pick which goalie has been playing better.<BR/><BR/>Still, the last time Giguere played the opening game of the playoffs he did win a Conn Smythe.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, Anaheim's ability to score goals will be the issue.

As you mentioned in your series preview, its the Ducks scoring that is an issue. There is actually something the Ducks can learn from the Kings, how to score on Turco.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17896285658845291441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-78756297902270803422008-04-10T10:57:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:57:00.000-07:00btw, why have the ducks had so much trouble scorin...<I>btw, why have the ducks had so much trouble scoring this season?</I><BR/><BR/>Short answers:<BR/><BR/>(a) Injuries. There has been precious few games with what I'd consider a "full" roster.<BR/><BR/>(b) The Ducks lost a lot of depth when they couldn't produce a meaningful second line (one who gets easier defenders behind Selanne's line). Don't forget that last year, the top two scorers for the Ducks in the playoffs were Getzlaf & Perry. They've moved up this year, but nobody seems to be producing enough behind them.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-58372884033969159162008-04-10T10:53:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:53:00.000-07:00oh come one, you're not really nervous about this ...oh come one, you're not really nervous about this one, are you earl? looked at your preview and the knee jerk one (yes, i'm an "out-of-playoffs" canucks fan, who has nothing better to do than look at other teams' blogs). basically, stars' hopes rest on richards somehow having a ridiculously good series. the pahlsson line, and the whole D, is basically not going to let that happen. <BR/><BR/>besides, there's something about the ducks that screams "playoff team". there's only one true x-factor: the bad karma of having bertuzzi on your team. and this is aside from the pronger effect, who is generally good for the team when he plays mean. but, overall, i think the scott niedermeyer good karma will neutralize the bertuzzi bad karma.<BR/><BR/>btw, why have the ducks had so much trouble scoring this season?antrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950239478818205798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-51133711107664747692008-04-10T10:51:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:51:00.000-07:00Sandy?I'm not sure about that though, even though ...Sandy?<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about that though, even though the theme song in ingrained into my memory my kids watch it so much.
