Yeah, he's generally playing much much better than his actual stats suggest, mostly because he's getting little offensive help and, for that matter, little defensive physicality in front of their own crease.
Girardi going off because Crosby punched him is some total bullshit. EDIT: Ah, nevermind, he punched his helmet right off first.

In a way you were, a single referencing of 'fleeced'. Like some sort of acknowledgement of a multiverse where for one second the Toronto Maple Leafs had an upper hand over the Anaheim Ducks.
But, seriously, that was it. No harm intended from here.
The fleeced comment was a god damn joke man. I know you say no harm intended but your entire post was suggesting I know nothing about the Ducks. Right, I think Sbisa and Souray et al are a bunch of scrubs that I've never heard of. Please. I only wanted some insight from Ducks fans about what precipitated this huge change in fortunes, because last year the Ducks did badly, and this year they are at 20-3-3, and there have barely been any personnel changes within the organization.

Remember when Anaheim took Toskalol and Blake?

Sorry man. Whenever I hear "Fleeced" it brings back memories of Gardiner leaving our nest, and then Schultz shortly after. You gotta understand what it's like from our end where we see both of our golden eggs scram out of the nest, only to break, and then realise we had the Golden Goose with us the whole time.
As for my tl;dr post... Well, that's our collective Golden Goose. That's why we're so good. Boudreau from Day 1. Bob Murray having great chemistry with Boudreau etc.

Boudreau is also an immensely likeable character. A bit too honest though; if he hadn't admitted that he didn't know why Washington was struggling he'd probably still be there (and the Caps would probably not be as poor).
edit: Fleecing jokes aside, have Anaheim and Toronto not been rather excellent trade partners over the past 2/3 years? Has there been a deal that didn't provide positives to each team?

Nope. Some testing experience though.
BAs at my company are a lot more specialized at just knowing how our old ass programs work and their effects on publishing as a whole. The coders are part of the Dev teams.
Never realized the structure til I dealt with it. The coders don't have the business side, the salespeople don't have the technical side, but the BAs and our team help bridge the gap.
Damn coders would tell us how things work and we'd shoot back with BRDs and challenges about how it was SUPPOSED to fucking work.
Semantics.

Yup - I'm working as a BSA right now, so I'm in the middle of all that fun stuff.
How long have you been working for that company?

Most of the engineers I went to school with ended up in Alberta. The ones who stayed in Victoria only did so because of family reasons.
I think, until Reimer, Toskala had the best save percentage of the post-Belfour era. (> _ >)

91 UP IN THIS BITCH DUCKS
That 13th overall pick the Leafs gave to San Jose, who gave it to St. Louis in turn? Lars Eller.
So in the end it was our fault that Solo constantly explodes in his pants.
Traded away so you can move up and get Logan Couture, no?
It's more of a general fuck you to DW. He's traded tons of our first round picks away.

That's cute. Our rookies are healthy too.
Wanna see what a full hand of Palmieri is like, or would you prefer we start with 2 fingers? It'll be Fasth, I promise.
As a mini-sentry equipped offensive Engi, that quote annoys me to no end.

You started this Frey, so don't cry when we show you Ja Dour.
Quite a dive by Kennedy. Don't normally see players trip over sticks that are behind them.
Well, so much for getting points out of this one. 3 straight losses leading into a back-to-back. I said we might get eliminated from the playoffs this week, and we're reeeeaaaally close to doing that.

Is it at the point where possible deadline moves would be useless?

No. This is still a good team and was playing very very well just a little over a week ago. It's just that there's a total lack of scoring depth, which means the top line guys have to be lighting it up EVERY night, which is just unsustainable, especially since Richards and Gaborik have been terrible all year. The D corps is really good, though still lacking a 6th man. And of course we're great in goal.
Also, we need to do something about Richards' and/or Gaborik's contracts at some point. We have a number of really important RFAs coming out of ELCs this year that need to get signed and could use a little wiggle room with the cap coming down.
Not happening this year, probably even if we end up out of the playoffs, unless we really continue to tank to the bottom of the conference. The general feeling with the Rangers is that a full Tortorella training camp would put this team over the top. Personally, I've felt like Torts had completely written off this season as being a "real" viable season for us right from the beginning all because he didn't get his super special important training camp. He's been complaining about how they didn't get the chance to condition the team literally all season long.
Suspiciously, most of the other teams don't seem to have that problem. Curious...
*bites lip*
I'm jealous, remember don't stare directly into his dreamy eyes you might faint from his beauty.
Also, I need to double check this, but I think the ONLY current playoff position teams we have a win against so far are the Bruins and Leafs.
Yup, just checked, that's completely correct. 2 wins against Boston (neither in regulation), 1 against Toronto. Other than that, every team we've beaten is currently out of the playoffs.
