Okay, I’m sick enough of these Anaheim f@#ks that I’m typing this out with my one non-broken hand.
For starters, Gugeire(sp) is not Patrick Roy in his prime. All he is is a dickless (dickless duck?) big man in big fucking pads whose main talent is squatting in front of the net. I’ve seen no evidence of any speed or skill on his part. He simply hunches down spreading out his big ass chest pads and covering most of the net. On top of that, he rarely plays the puck, preferring to smother the thing.
Next up, the only reason this team exist is as a skating billboard for a failed movie franchise. If they win the cup, you might as well imprint it with Mike Eisners ass crack.
Lastly, Anaheim is not a hockey town. Nobody went to the ducks home games during the regular season, and noone will go next season even if they do win the cup. It will be a non-event.
Now, I don’t want to hear any more crap about the ducks being good or their goalie being good or this being good for hockey. This is a dickless team with a dickless goalie playing a dickless style And their owned by a dickless corporation.
Earlier to day, there was a gaggle of ducklings in front of my house. Cutest little things. Momma duck was about to lead them into the street, so I quickly ran around and stood in front of them and tried to herd them in the other direction. Mom didn’t like that, and got threatening. Ever been threatened by a duck? It’s an unusual experience.
I guess the Wild want to be the first team to come back from three 3-1 deficits in the Stanley Cup. But then, this time they have their work cut out for them just to get to the 3-1 deficit.
Mighty Ducks of Anaheim - At Uni I once owned a sweatshirt which said that on it. Someone bought it for me.
At the time had no idea who or what they were.
And that’s all I have to say on this particular matter.
I heard on the radio this morning that in the last three games, the Duck’s goalie has stopped 98 shots on goal, resulting in three consecutive shut-outs. From AP…
I’m not a hockey fan, but anytime someone tops a sports accomplishment that has stood for nearly 60 years, deserves some recognition.
Just how do you know Jiggy is dickless? Hmmm, what have you been doing???
I would say the Ducks suck, but man, facts are facts.
Ducks brutalized the Redwings (the defending cup champs and everyone’s fav. pick to repeat).
Then the Ducks played Dallas (the runner up fav.) and took it to them hard.
Now the Ducks are on the verge of a 4 - 0 route against the Wild, another underdog who managed to beat Colorado AND Vancouver both in seven games against the League’s highest scorers last season (Naslund, Bertuzzi, Sakic, and Forsberg).
God, I can’t stand it when people bitch about the pads. His pads have been measured, they are of legal size. End of story. He’s damn good goalie, doing something amazing. Sit back and watch.
In the first two games of the Detroit-Anaheim series, I thought Jiggy was a great goalie too, then I noticed how much more of the net he filled compared to Cujo. I saw the same thing when I watched the Dallas series, during which Darren Pang, a commentator for ESPN and former goalie, said he thought his pads looked big too. They were measured and found to be legal. Fine. He still appears to take up more of the net than Cujo, Turco, Fernandez, or the other Minnesota goalie whose name escapes me. Jiggy has displayed no skills. He is not as fast as Roy, as tenacious as Hasek, or as all around good as Brodeur. He is just a big guy plugging up the net and sitting on every puck that comes near him as though he expects it to hatch.
I’ll replace dickless with chicken shit as it is a much more fowl term (god forgive me for that one). I find that the ducks style of play is horribly unimaginative, unoriginal, and unforgivably safe.
And by the by, I am a Detroit fan, but know that they deserved to lose their series. They were outplayed.
Sore loser much? I’m a huge Red Wings fan who’s new to Southern Caliornia, and I’ve been to 4 regular season games this year at the Pond. A great crowd showed up every time. Sure, I scoffed at their team, until I saw them dismantle the Kings, the Stars and my Wings. As much as I hate the idea of a team being owned by Disney and named after a bunch of lame movies, I at least respect what they did in the regular season to get here, and even more now that they’re kicking giant ass.
Giggy is talented, no reason to think he’s not just because he doesn’t flop around like Hasek or make daring plays like Brodeur or Roy. He plays a good safe physical and mental game, getting into the heads of opponents. As mentioned before his pads are regulation.
And really, who cares if they’re named after a movie? With Disney looking to dump the Angels and the Ducks, they may not even be here next year. At least they’re allowing California to have a team in the playoffs - it’s not like the Kings or the Sharks stepped up. This is the first year they spent a little bit of money on the team, and it’s showing, but they’re still beating teams with twice the payroll. Your reasons for hating them are completely out in left field (other then the Disney stuff). The Ducks have a Defense that works for them? Good, no reason the other goalies couldn’t do the same thing G did to get them here. Quit yer whining man, you’re giving us Wings fans a bad name.
Don’t know why but your rant reminded me of this quote…

Last nights game was FUN to watch. Ducks looked good. Jiggy would block the shot and the other Ducks players would not let those evil Wilds get to the rebound. I am sure you saw me there, I was the one in a Ducks jersey, Upper Deck (Sec 405 Row K Seat 9) waving a Fowl Towel™, and yelling loudly for my Duckies. Yes I go to a few regular season games, even took a group of needie kids to a game a few years back. (and let me tell you how classy the Ducks were and therefore Disney was. A few days before these kids who life had not treated fairly went to the game they had one of the best players visit the kids which meant the kids had someone they could root for and allowed them to enjoy the game that much more)
Bwahaha. They are now not writing about the Minnies winning a game, but scoring a goal. But I am still hoping for a good game on Friday nite, competitive but with the good guys winning in the end.
And what is all of this bad mouthing the name of the team. You do realize they are playing a team name after what… nature? now that is lame…Wild heehee. Ducks can be vicious. I remember fondly the time my older brother was flogged by a gaggle my mom owned.
The problem with Giguere is that it doesn’t take skill to fill up the net. You just have to be big. All he does is fill the net.
I’d rather watch Cechmanek (did I spell that right?). Granted, he’s a bit too reckless right now, diving halfway across the ice for the puck, but he’s fun to watch.
