The Official Anaheim Ducks 2014-15 Thread

[HaloCory22]

They better be at 6. I can manage to MAYBE get there at 6 for that. Anything earlier and I'm ****ed.

[Aaronkv]

Good thing I'm able to get off work whenever I want. See you guys at game 2!

[Oz27]

They really need to release the damn schedule already.

They really need to release the damn schedule already.

Here is my best guess with all the info I have compiled:

Game 1 Sunday 5/17 Noon pst

Game 2 Tuesday 5/19 5-6 pst

Game 3 Thurs 5/21 5 pst

Game 4 Sat 5/23

Game 5 Tues 5/26 5-6 pst

Game 6 Thurs 5/28 5 pst

Game 7 Sun 5/31

[Oz27]

That seems roughly what I'm thinking. If the Clippers win in 6 their game one of the finals will start Sunday at 12.30 pst. I hate having to choose which one to watch live in that clash scenario.

[Tank]

I looked at the Kings schedule for their WCF last year. Game 1 on Saturday was noon in LA. It'll happen.

 

still looking at us for leadership. nice.  

[nate]

I hope they are at 5 PST.  These late games are killing me!

Rangers- Caps Game 7 at MSG -- all tied up after regulation -- on to OT.......

 

Rangers looked lackluster earlier in the 2nd -- came alive after they tied it up 1-1 and played pretty well in the third.

 

Caps seemed to dominate the first period and the first part of the second.

 

ON TO OT..........winner gets Tampa Bay.

[disarcina]

Going to tough to top last year's Blackhawks - Kings series which went 7.

 

IMO, that was the REAL Stanley Cup final.

 

Not being snarky or anything (as a Kings fan) but the Blackhawks are tough......

 

I see Blackhawks in 6 in this one -- and then they beat either Tampa Bay or NY/ Washington.

 

Speaking of NY/ Washington -- after their 7 game series -- either one of those teams are going to enter game one and possibly two, sort of beat up.

[disarcina]

great game 7.  NY Rangers win it in OT.......about 12 minutes left in first OT.

 

wide open, all out hockey during the OT - the pace was incredible from a scoring chance at one end to the other over and over again until the Rangers knocked one in.

 

Game 7, OT, wide open hockey -- I mean, it's a real crap shoot....either team wins it with a break here or there....a simple bounce one way makes the difference.

ducks will take this.

they just have too much depth this year.

‏@icemancometh Sekac was with Rakell and Etem on Ducks fourth line today. Speed option that BB acknowledged is under consideration.

I would love to see that fourth line play for game 1. They played together near the end of the season and looked good.

[QuinlansMinion]

I hope you're right but Chicago has just as much depth and better defense. I think the Ducks are the underdogs in this one.

 

Nahh Wicked is right.  Too much depth on this Ducks team not to take it home.  

 

Cant wait to see our 4th line be dangerous again.

[HaloCory22]

I'm still a skeptic. Don't want to get my hopes up too high. Hope this team has learned what it takes. 

[mrwicked]

wha?

the ducks defense is way deeper than chicago.

they weren't very deep to begin with, and then they lost rozsival.

who's gonna fill in for him?

rundblad?

old man kimmonen?

their D falls off a cliff after keith, seabrook, oduya and super nintendo.

 

each of the ducks 3 pairings could be top pair on many nhl rosters.

the only potentially weak spot is stoner, but he's been just fine in the playoffs.

and if he falters.. here comes wizniewski.

 

chicago is definitely deep all around, no question.

but not as deep as the ducks.

and their special teams are god awful lately.

 

if the ducks play their game, this is their year.

or they can just wilt like they've done the last two years to a team they should beat, which would be really annoying.

that sekac-rackell-etem line was a possession demon during the regular season.

too small for jets or flames, but perfect for the hawks if they decide to unleash them.

[nate]

Ducks struggled so much against skill teams.  The Blackhawks have the best skill line in the NHL and skill up and down all 4 lines.

 

I really hope I am wrong but I think the Blackhawks win in 5 or 6.

The Kings struggled against the Ducks last year too.

[gotbeer]

Finally!   It's almost game time.  Too much time between games.  It's almost as bad as waiting for baseball playoffs.

[gotbeer]

Wait?  Sekac is alive?

[gotbeer]

huge save by Anderson.

[gotbeer]

What a snipe!

[mancini79]

Gotta give credit to that screen there. Crawford had no look.
