God that was a fucking dumb move, Getzy.

~We're still getting shut out~

Good effort though for once.

@SNstats: #NHLDucks are the first team since the 1930-31 New York Americans to be shut out in 5 of their first 8 games of the season.

Uh, wow.

Ducks making history at least #SilverLinings

This is the Darkest Ducks Timeline

 

[Pikma]

There is no way in hell the Ducks get shutout tomorrow night. Might be their (last) chance to bounce back.

 

[Calamari41]

The frustrating part is that they played a great game. It's not like we're going out there and shitting on the ice. It would be easier to accept if we just straight sucked.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Ducks offense is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

 

[aidan]

*waves at Ryan Kesler*

As a Canucks fans, the best part of this season so far has been watching the Ducks.

Oh, and Ben Hutton.

 

[zroid]

I need Boudreau to save the Pens

Randy needs to save Kessel

Looking forward to seeing new Anaheim Ducks head coach Todd Richards take over.

Max Domi looks pretty good.

holy fuck

Somehow the fact that they're NOT QUITE AS BAD as the "Pittsburgh Pirates of the NHL" and AS BAD AS the "New York Americans" seems even worse than having the record to themselves.

I mean, I half suspect that zroid made up those teams to make the Ducks feel better about themselves.

Please take good care of the Cup this year.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Didn't Boudreau navigate waters like these with the Capitals? I remember watching it on 24/7. He'll probably survive this time too

 

[Pikma]

New York Americans? What kind of name is that?

 

[Socreges]

Early thoughts on Bieksa?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

holy fuck

Yeah I never heard of these so called Boston Bruins. Do they Exist?

 

[Calamari41]

Early thoughts on Bieksa?

I mean he's a -5, but everyone is negative. He seems to be playing well, not standing out or causing problems really. It's tough to get a true gauge on anybody so far except for Andersen.

 

[billeh]

New York Americans? What kind of name is that?

Sounds like an American version of the Habs.

Anyone else having problems downloading Halo 5? Been downloading for 2 hours and it's only at 31% =/

 

[Socreges]

Yeah. They became the Atlanta Bruins, then the Atlanta Flames, and finally the Arizona Coyotes.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Yikes Ducks. We get them tomorrow... I'm feeling like they are going to light us up because that is how it always works. Hopefully Niemi starts (prefer him over Lehtonen)

 

[Pikma]

Yeah, I agree. Niemi is expected to start tomorrow btw

Yeah, I agree. Niemi is expected to start tomorrow btw

Thank you Jeebus (aka Ruff)

Yeah putting a baseball team on there was a dead giveaway.

 

[Quick]

Or Dallas Eakins

Edmonton was a lemon. Eakins will put the Mighty back in Anaheim.

 

[Smiley90]

The single-season record for most shutouts against is 16.

The ducks have 5 after 8 games.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

On pace to be shutout 50 times

 

[Marvie_3]

:lol :lol

 

[MetatronM]

New York Americans? What kind of name is that?

If you think Americans is bad, you should know that their colloquial nickname was the "Amerks." Seriously.

The New York Americans were the original NHL tenants of Madison Square Garden, until the Rangers came along and fucked them over.

The Americans had most of their players drafted into World War II, so they shut down the team until the end of the war. When the war ended and they tried to reenter the league, MSG convinced the other owners to not let them back in. Red Dutton, who had been running the Americans before they shut down and was president of the NHL at the time, swore that the Rangers would never win the Cup again as long as he lived. He died in 1987.

And that's your obscure New York hockey history lesson for the evening!

 

[Smiley90]

Aren't the Americans Buffalo's AHL team?

I saw them at the Spengler Cup and they were terribad

Yeah, they're the Rochester Americans.

We should be renamed the Anaheim Californians. Our logo would be an avocado

My ex got turned on by avocados, so there's AT LEAST someone that's been able to score with them.

Cool story, thanks for sharing

I come seeking asylum here from the halo threads.

BTW, Ducks have the best PK in the league.

Amazing.

 

[User 479360]

I can't believe how bad the Ducks are doing. They were the favourite going in. Then again, it's early.

I watched a good amount of the Leafs' game tonight. I still haven't watched a full game this season, because of the Jays, being out of the country and just not having the time. They played hard and I saw some good things, especially from Kadri and Rielly.

I don't mind the losing, though.

 

[RedRum]

Still wayyyyyy early man. Who knows, by the end of the season, the Jackets might even be conference champs.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with Anaheim. Someone explain what's actually happening please.
