ducks freeze up at the igloo.

The Ducks took on the Penguins at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh yesterday night.  The game did not go well for the Ducks, so instead of a traditional recap, here's what you should know about the game.

PREGAME :
Penguins have a lot of key players out of the lineup. Gologoski, Orpik, Kunitz, Kennedy, and Talbot.
Ducks have two players out, Saku Koivu & Ryan Carter.
Ducks recalled Kyle Calder from the minors and put him into the lineup. I don't know why. Calder is a Kings reject, he is the definition of suck.
Jiggy gets the goal for the Ducks, Marc Andre Fleury for the Pens.

1st period :
Pens score less than two minutes into the game. 0-1 Pens.
Corey Perry goes crashing into Marc-Andre Fleury as he tries to score, it gets a good laugh out of me.
The Ducks get an embarrassing penalty for too many men on the ice. I stop laughing.
Pens score again 0-2.
Ryan Getzlaf gets a penalty for hooking, but Corey Perry and Todd Marchant work hard to get the Ducks a short handed goal. 1-2 Pens.

2nd period:
Kyle Calder keeps getting out of position, but so does Penguin Chris Bourque. They suck equally.
Jordan Staal on a breakaway scores on Jiggy, who like always, barely moves when it comes to breakaway, or goal tending all together. 1-3 Pens.
Ryan Getzlaf takes another penalty.
No one else score, period ends at 1-3.

3rd period :
Ryan Getzlaf fights Bill Guerin, and LOSES. Getzlaf is taller, bigger and younger than Guerin but somehow manages to lose and almost bang his helmet-less head on the ice. Nice going Getz. We get it, this game is bad for you.
Martin Skoula scores for the Pens. 1-4 Pens and Skoula gets me a bunch of fantasy hockey points. I might as well get something out of this game right?
Ducks score with roughly 3 minutes left. 2-4 Pens, but it's too late to try to catch up. Way too late.
Ducks try to pull the goalie for the extra attacker, Pens score on the empty net. 2-5 Pens win.

What the Ducks take away from this game :
Not points, again.
Corey Perry's goal streak extends to 12, but the Perry & Getzlaf and Getzlaf individual streak comes to an end.
Jiggy is a bad goalie, enough said.
Kyle Calder can go back down to the minors if you ask me.
Jiggy is such a bad goalie he should be traded for the cap space, then we could buy a better Defense.
Last but always not least, fire Randy Carlyle.

Ducks vs. Lightening Thursday. Yes, i'm going, I have season tickets. I dont expect the Ducks to win and I expect Honda Center to be empty. And if you for some reason go, i'll be the person boo-ing Randy Carlyle :]
