Gotta run, I'll make this quick.
Ducks don't realize what they lost in Paul Kariya. At least they would never admit it. That combined with losing Adam Oates' ability and hockey sense leave the Ducks out on the pond without a paddle. Federov is a great player and scorer, but just a slight asset. He's missing the great offense that gave him both so many scoring opportunities and scoring set-ups for conversions (goals + assists = points). Federov is one hell of a hockey player, but the Red Wing line-up made him such a threat. Ducks should have McDonald back tonight, that will help - especially if he's played on the Federov/Sykora line. That would be a quick line (but small). Regardless, that it won't help them tonight. Sens are coming off an OT loss Vs. Detroit that they should have one, and a 4-3 loss to the Kings that they should have one. They gave that games to LA on a fvcking silver platter. Sens need, more importantly want this game, knowing they play again in SanJose tomorrow night. Great situation for the Sens tonight in Anaheim. Noting the fact that having Lalime back in net and the re-signed Martin Havlat back in the line-up for this game will prove dire for the Mighty Dicks. Pardon me. I mean Ducks.
Great opportunity to get a little nest egg before weekend foots boys & girls. Don't pass it up!
