ARTHUR:

UPDATE.  12:57am  I forgot I had something to say about the game tonight.  To anyone who went to the game tonight, was Goldie, the Serta sheep sponsored by Bassett Home Furnishings, not the creepiest thing you've ever seen at the Pond?

To those who missed it, the Togo's blimp is no more (victim of the recession?), and the new sponsor has elected to wrap the old blimp in a giant inflatable sheep costume, complete with four dangling legs and a top heavy sheep's head whose eyes are always looking up.  I wasn't so much disturbed at the site of this thing floating around the Honda Center (though it was plenty disturbing) as I was at the site of it docking after it made its obligatory lap.  You see, due to its appendages and giant head, it cannot dock in the rafters.  It must instead launch from and return to the zamboni tunnel, where it is received by the Honda Center staff, who throw ropes around it and try to bring it down like a tribe of cavemen hunting a woolly mammoth.   Never thought I'd say this . . . but I miss Togo's. 

DANIEL:

The Ducks avoided deja vu at the Ponda Center tonight as they held off the Wild in a 3-2 victory. Corey Perry led the way with 2 early goals, and Ryan Carter potted the eventual game winner in the first display this season of scoring chances up and down the four lines.

On special teams the Ducks seemed to trade Power Play efficiency for Penalty Kill success, as they were perfect on the kill, but came up empty with the man advantage.

We should be worried about the drop in PPGs

I like our Penalty killing though.

The Big Red Machine V.2 is coming this Fall 2009. Go Halos!

We had great scoring chances on our PP, if we keep it up some are bound to go in. We should just be stoked our PK did good.

Seriously — I would gladly settle for a game with zero power play goals from both sides. The PK scares the crap out of me.

And yeah, yesterday’s power plays (save one) all looked good — goals will come with that setup, I’m sure.

Oh Goldie. I couldn’t stop laughing. That thing is HUGE! I’m wondering how many games it will be before they fly it too close to the fans and someone pulls it down by those legs!

GO DUCKS!!!
