Your Enemy:  Fear The Fin

ARTHUR:
Matt Vevoda, reporting for the Ducks website, says Wisniewski and Koivu hope to be available tonight.  Eminger is still questionable, Carter is out and Lupul has lower body soreness.  The team will probably be as surprised as we are by tonight's final lineup.

It's a--

Suddenly, James Wisniewski barrels into the Anaheim Calling studio [Editor's Note: but not really...]

WIZ:

Why are you always putting me down, man?  You're talking about me like I'm Sheldon Brookbank.

ARTHUR:

I just don't see why you have to hobble back to the bench on every play.  Are you made of gingerbread? 

WIZ:

What?  A guy can't get banged up blocking a shot or falling awkwardly into the boards, or tear his ACL while working out during preseason? 

DANIEL chuckles off camera

WIZ (cont'd):

You want me to play hurt? I'll play hurt. You want me to play on one leg?

ARTHUR:

I want you to be a hockey player!

WIZ:

I AM a hockey player!!!!!!!

Studio security guards hold Wisniewski back.

WIZ (cont'd):

I'm a MAN!!!  I block shots with my LUNG!!!!!  I don't need my ACL's!!!!  I'm a MAN!!!!

The security guards lift Wisniewski to carry him out of the studio, and the Ducks defenseman promptly tears both ACL's.  The scent of freshly baked gingerbread fills the room.

gingerbread cookies are delicious when soft and awful when hard and crunchy. that is all.

gonna be a tough game tonight. I’m gonna have to watch it like a scary movie: covering my eyes and plugging my ears.

this excessive injury stunt is just an excuse for the way below par play of the whole team.

there is no gravity, the world just sucks.

greatest line ever!

im sure im in the minority here but i would really love to see sharp play with a more offensive line since that is what would suit him best.

Nokie-Koivu-Selanne
Ryan-Sharp-Lupul
Brown-Marchant-Parros

I deliver high-quality H2O

I’ve seen Sharp play for a few years now, and I disagree with the assessment McNab gave Ahlers and Hayward. Sharp SCORES, don’t get me wrong, you don’t lead your team in scoring after Mason Raymond goes pro and have a dynamite senior season for nothing. But he’s much better at scoring the puckhound goal than a pure scorer’s goal. His Top 6 potential is very Chris Kunitz (offensively), and I think he can bang and produce in the Bottom 6 while he finds his sea legs. I’m not sure if he could ever center a pure skill line like Ryan/Lupul on his flank, but the man can find loose pucks and he works the man advantage well, so he definitely has Top 6 tools.

You guys get a studio?! We have to share space in a boiler room! :)

We had demands when Mirtle approached us. One of which was a liquor stipend, what we’ve since deemed the Sleek-clause in our contract.

Daniel wanted to add...

DANIEL throws his microphone and studio equipment at the square inch of Wisniewski’s body that’s never been injured.

Additional notes from Stephens at the Register

Hiller starts. Eminger is closer to coming back than Lupul, who apparently has back spasms, not just lower body soreness.

Am I the only one that hates the growing ambiguity with regard to injuries?

by yankeeken on Nov 21, 2009 7:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Nope. I also hate it. I’m listening on the radio, so my analysis might not be as effective.

by Daniel AC on Nov 21, 2009 7:27 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

NHL injuries always seem ambiguous to me. They just said Carter will be out for a month.

Nice!

Ducks start the power play in the 2nd period.

I think we looked pretty good in the first.

Adenhart 1986-2009

by cupie on Nov 21, 2009 7:44 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, definitely. If we keep it up, no way the Sharks have legs in the 3rd.

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Nov 21, 2009 7:49 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That sounds so good. That means we’re skating, and taking the body. That’s supposed to be our game. I don’t know when we abandoned our game, but we just haven’t looked like us for weeks.

by Daniel AC on Nov 21, 2009 7:59 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Wisniewski in the box = better PK.

by Daniel AC on Nov 21, 2009 7:45 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I think he’s useful on the PK as long as he’s not in front of the net. If he’s not covering a man on the doorstep, and there’s no chance of him getting hit by the puck, quality penalty killer.

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Nov 21, 2009 7:50 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

So wait…you mean when he’s not penalty killing.

by Daniel AC on Nov 21, 2009 7:57 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

No, just when he’s doing those things he does well without risking injury. he doesn’t have to man the net in the box formation

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Nov 21, 2009 8:06 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Let's do this!

I’m insulting wisniewski before every game from now on

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Nov 21, 2009 8:05 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

clearly it’s needed. you ever wonder if guys actually read stuff like that, like Wiz reads our blog and knows we hate him?

by Daniel AC on Nov 21, 2009 8:08 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Meh, I’m sure when he tore his ACL working out in Chicago, he checked out the blogs because it was that sort of embarrassing Sakic and the snowblower type injury. Generally, though, he doesn’t need us to tell him he’s fragile or that he makes defensive mental mistakes. That’s why they have film and contract negotiations.

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Nov 21, 2009 8:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

quit crushing my dreams Arthur. we need to shake that contract. His 25 goals can’t be worth that much money.

not clearing the puck earlier resulted in that goal.

damn it. My bad. I started heatley on my fantasy squad. I benched pavelski to try and balance the magumbo. Starting both of them seemed like tempting fate.

starting/benching both of them that is. should’ve traded them to daniel for him to start

This R2-Koivu-Selanne line is sounding pretty good. Does this mean we can trade Lupul?

No. And for the same reason I can’t sell my ’71 Ford Pinto.

I was gonna say. Wiz scoring 25 goals? I know I put him on fantasy watch before the season, but that’s ridiculous

by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Nov 21, 2009 8:35 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

think we can find a team to take both of them :)

by Daniel AC on Nov 21, 2009 8:36 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

advantage of playing in the west is no one watches the games. They put up stats, and we can get whatever for them.

Can I ask for another goal in the 4 on 5 in the 3rd Period?

harder to get shots off out west. Same reason Boynton hasn’t gotten off as much since he came west

Boynton seemed to have lost his shooting ability ever since he came to the NHL.
