Open Gameday Thread Islanders @ Ducks

New York Islanders at Anaheim Ducks, Mar 19, 2010 7:00 PM PDT
ARTHUR:
Five points in five games. If you wrote down the Sharks and Hawks games as automatic losses before this homestand, then we are where you thought we'd be. If you were relying on the Ducks playing to the level of their competition (despite dropping the first FIVE contests to the Sharks) then we're also where you thought we'd be. Did both of you think we'd be eight points out?
In possibly good news, tonight could be a good night for 600. Not because of the opponent or because of who's in net, but because of this:
Congratulations, Paul. I hope you asked Teemu, "What's taking you so long?" at least twice when he called to congratulate you. Or maybe, "If stand-up goalies spotted me 76 goals my rookie year, I'd be at 599, too"-- y'know, something to that effect. Light a fire under that Finn!
Eminger will get the call tonight. I'm not sure how that changes the pairings. Carlyle says it could be a direct swap:
And I don't mind Eminger taking most of Wisniewski's time. Brookbank would get exposed if we up the quality of competition on him for 8 games. But you have to wonder, with the coaching staff publicly expressing disappointment with Eminger twice already this season, whether or not Steve can make it 8 games.
WCHA Final Five game at noon today! St. Cloud and Wisconsin. If you've got FSN North, and you're home for lunch, it should be good. If you don't have FSN North, I'll put up an Armchair Scout report on how our Badgers prospects played. I'm scheduled to talk to WCWP this afternoon. I believe that's Long Island University radio-- yeah, we're not much for vetting at Anaheim Calling. If you can find it, I think they've got me on at 1:15. Should be interesting.
Post any game info and lineup changes in the comments.
FOWL!

Arthur & Daniel....
I think we can expect ol’ # 27 to start playing better since he no longer has to jump on the grenade that we were talking about a few weeks ago. Is there a silver lining to this Wiz suspention or are we now entirely screwed?
i honestly don’t think it makes too big a difference. In theory, it makes us stronger defensively, and any offensive contribution he could offer was taken over and improved with the addition of Visnovsky anyways. Still, everyone does have to step up to eat his time. I’ll never MISS him, but I’m not jumping up and down singin’ Sweet Sue either
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 2:04 PM PDT up reply actions
I think the silver lining is tht it’s on more reason not to sign him this summer. If niedermayer does discover how great he is again and decides to play another year, that’s gravy. Although our salary cap number might not appreciate that.

Welcome back Lupul. To be sidelined for so long must suck. Any news on if he will be back by the end of the season?
by Newport Rebel on Mar 19, 2010 2:04 PM PDT up reply actions
they said he skated gingerly out there. I dont’ know why. Supposedly it’s just conditioning; he had lost 20 pounds. I dont’ know why he’d be skating gingerly. I’d say we don’t know enough at this point, but usually skating is a good thing.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions
20 lbs? Yeah I dont think we will see him this season. Not unless he goes to in n out and finds a way to convert that stuff to muscle. I wonder if Bob will trade him this offseason. I just don’t see him sticking around with all the time hes missed this year and our blueline needs.
by Newport Rebel on Mar 19, 2010 2:15 PM PDT up reply actions
his contract gets a little tough if the cap goes down next year, but he’s probably easier to move than Blake. I’m sure he’s on his way back, the 20 lbs figure was what he lost while laid up with the infection. He’s been working on his conditioning since the end Olympic Break or shortly thereafter I think, so he might be back to his old weight already. But there’s definitely rink rust if he’s only getting back to skating with teammates now.

i love those captions on the photos
well that’s good news since we havent heard in ages from him… i think the ducks made the wrong move trading for lupul… would rather have taken giroux or briere instead of him since lupul is a sniper and selanne is too…. if only we could have traded prongs for kessel… ah well hopefully the ducks show up tonight or else might as well start thinking bout cam fowler
Cam Fowler!
I like the way you think Albert K. We’d be over-deep on the blueline. Our D cupboard would be like the Sharks goaltending/NCAA cupboard, but Tim Burke doesn’t exactly look wrong about goaltenders or NCAA players on a regular basis, so I don’t mind us at least committing to overdraft in a certain area. I definitely think Martin Madden would do it. I get the impression he’s very very very safe in the first round, and then he starts to get more and more creative and really roll the dice in the later rounds.

I pulled this off the BoC gameday
Airxess, the Swiss goalie mask art studio that did Hiller’s Olympic mask has posted pictures of Hiller’s new Ducks mask on the Airxess Facebook page. As you can see, the Neptune (plus whale tail, no, an actual whale tail) graphic appeared on the Team Switzerland mask as well, but has been adapted to the Ducks mask, rising out of an ocean-filled web-footed D.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 3:21 PM PDT reply actions
I think the Wild Wing on the side (actually on both sides) is too subtle, especially since i love that statue:
And the gold leaf on the neptune is nice, but it’s very reminiscent of something you would see near a whale tail (yeah, that kind). Chinese character screams tramp stamp, you know it does!
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 3:26 PM PDT up reply actions
Wild Wing needs to stand out a little more. I don’t get the Neptune / Posidon reference but it looks good.
by Newport Rebel on Mar 19, 2010 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions
I think, and this is totally a guess because i too have no idea why he thinks of himself as Neptune, if you think of a hockey rink as a frozen ocean, he’s the master of the sea. Either that or Hiller’s a massive player and has a bunch of daughters all over Switzerland.

Either guess is awesome but I am hoping its A and not B.
by Newport Rebel on Mar 19, 2010 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions
actually, kidding aside, if you translate that “Hiller’s Olympic Mask” link I have above, the designer says the graphic on the back is related to Aquarius. Well, it says it is Aquarius, but in Greek terms, that’s clearly Poseidon. I’m rusty, but I recall the flood related to Aquarius being the result of rain pour, so he and Poseidon don’t really have the same sandbox.
Anyways, as far as the designer knows, it’s something to do with Jonas Hiller’s zodiac sign: Aquarius. But as it clearly is not Aquarius, I’m going to identify this as one more reason that the back of the helmet is like a bad tramp stamp.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions
Well the more and more I look at it the back plate and mask just don’t go together. It goes from white ducks them to dark Poseidon / Chinese’s character ness. The mask portion looks great so I can overlook the back plate. Hey its Hillers mask and if he likes it more power to him.

goalie masks
do goalies always switch their masks this often cause it seems to me hiller changes his an awful lot
Hiler said in a radio interview early this season that he’s been working on a new mask with some friends in Switzerland. I don’t know if that’s Airxess or if they just do the painting. He was saying they were experimenting with designs AND materials, so he would be trying prototypes throughout the season. He said he wouldn’t paint one until he settled on a final design and materials mix. I think a big part of it was putting those cutouts in the mask (crosses in the Swiss mask and webbed feet in the Ducks mask) without losing structural integrity. Hiller DOES like to make a lot of mask saves. I also think waiting for the contract was relevant.

so why did madden take holland this year?
i honestly think holland isnt that bad but as the guys on the nhl network said… he needs time to develop and madden prob knows he has those problems of not being physical and he prob already told him about it… plus he has 30 goals in 59 games but a minus 7 so maybe hes driving to the net more and getting caught when the play goes to the other end… just saying cause i dont get to see ohl games so just inferencing
Holland struggled to begin this season, even after coming back from his first major injury (a shoulder sprain), but his linemates, Beck and Latta saved his season. I’ve only seen a couple of Guelph games this year, but even when I make an effort to focus on what he’s doing, he just doesn’t stand out. It’s weird to see large guys play a lot of perimeter. In my prospects list for midseason, I said he’s in danger of becoming the Ryan Whitney of forwards.
His problem at draft time was that he didn’t interview well according to gare joyce, so I’m assuming Madden drafted him because he was one of the few scouts impressed by him. Holland started out high at the beginning of the scouting cycle, but he tanked a couple of games when the scouts were in the audience and sparked chatter of pressure and consistency issues. If he does have head problems, it will be tough. Seeing him at camp this year, he was getting dominated in our power forward drills. He was letting Sbisa walk him out of the house. It was kind of embarrassing to watch. We’ll see him try it again next camp (if they do it again at conditioning camp), but he could end up being a checking line center. He’s a smart player defensively.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 5:20 PM PDT up reply actions
wow
then a future bust like macmillan…. i think burke made the dumbest desicion drafting logan! i mean he was ranked 52 by central scouting…
I wouldn’t say bust. He’s big enough/smart enough to where he won’t be a straight bust. I think we should’ve gone with Schroeder so we had a pure scorer in the cupboard, but logically, Kevin Forbes of Hockeysfuture was telling me, you go with the size guy so you at least have a checker if he busts offensively. I guess I agree with that, and I’m a Gophers fan, so there’s some Schroeder bias, but I definitely think size played a big factor. I think Moore and Schroeder were on most people’s boards there, and I would’ve liked either, especially since we had another pick to salvage the round.
MacMillan fell because Voracek was so good, and people wanted to compensate. People ended up being right, but who knew Voracek was SO good. Well, everyone but Burke I guess. It would be nice to have Shane O’Brien instead right now, but we still have MacMillan’s rights and maybe he’ll sort things out. He would, otherwise, become our greatest first round bust ever.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 5:27 PM PDT up reply actions
oh, and if it makes you feel better, when they reversed the power forward drill, Holland defended Sbisa very well. That actually worried me more, though. How can he be so effective at stopping the offensive player and be clueless as to what he’s supposed to do offensively? They pulled him aside after the second time he ran it, and Holland seemed to get the point, even if he didn’t get better at the actual drill.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Mar 19, 2010 5:30 PM PDT up reply actions
thanks for clearing that up arthur
well thats some decent news but i still think madden should be our gm
you mean mcnab right? I like Madden, but he’s a late round steal scout guy right now. I’d want to see some AHL gm’ing experience or something first.
Also, I added a note to my prospects list because i remembered something you said about Deschamps. Sorry if I referred to you as “someone” in the comment. Deschamps converted to left wing in his draft year to accommodate a better center, Pare I think, but don’t quote me. He’s a natural center and he lined up at center in camp, so I think he could get consideration as pivot before Lupul’s contract ends. That would be drastic for Carlyle, who likes to bring guys along slowly, but it’s a pretty gaping hole right now.

haha, they’re athletes, at least. More than I can say for a racecar driver or poker player or any seated sport. I was just complaining to someone that Ric Flair is a poor excuse for a human being becuase he signed a contract to wrestle on TNA after having his supposed last match while in the WWE, a match where Shawn Michaels broke three ribs when the announce table didn’t break on a missed moonsault, but finished the last thirty minutes of the match anyways so as not to ruin Flair’s farewell.

nothing against racecar drivers. there’s endurance in there and a mental game, just like Golf (when you actually walk the course) with the added risk of death. But if a guy got out of his car all bruised and beat up after every race, it would be strange.

yeah my bad i meant mcnab sorry both their names have m’s… madden looked like his face had been pinched in when i saw him on draft day… lol
he seems like a good guy. It’s weird to have anyone else but Chainey after all these years, though Chainey is still part of the Amateur Scouting team, and he definitely keeps up with his own picks as Stefan Warg told me this year. I guess new blood is always a good thing, and some of the picks, like Vatanen and Bobkov are some pretty high risk picks so it’s just good to see some new blood. I really thought we should have tried to steal Tim Burke from the Sharks, especially with Doug Wilson giving away all of his assets and picks. Without Allaire we should really be overdrafting goaltenders. But I guess Burke likes to run an entire department, so it would have been a more drastic change than Madden.

it’s basically unseasoned. Like they just focus on making a pretty fatty cut with some thick crispy batter. Whatever hot sauce or seasoning you like, you can add yourself, but they give you good chicken and great texture. if you take your chicken too seriously, your mother’s fried chicken is your favorite anyway, and you can probably come up with something more creative than the Colonel’s recipe.

Ironically, his tenuous lineup spot exists because of grinding plus his willingness to fight (which is negated by his current status and cage), yet he’s actually netted two goals since returning with the cage on.

That is why Brookbank’s Corsi is so bad. Surprisingly passive behind the bottom 6. They try to let far shots through, so bad corsi, tied for highest plus minus. Interesting. Corsi could be a shortsighted stat with depth or situational defensemen

When he gets 600 he should call and say, “hey you know what is better than 400? 500! Whats better than 500? 600 Bitches!” but in Finnish. Somehow I think it would sound way cooler that way.

CNN headline news features more stories about Tiger Woods cheating on his wife, and Sandra Bullock getting cheated on. Apparently this girl is here too, and she’s not hot. Why do celebrity dudes always cheat on hot women with not hot women? I don’t understand it.
Bullock could never hold onto him. He used to bang Janine Lindemulder. No disrespect to Sandra Bullock, but if a guy is used to one of the hottest porn stars of all time, that’s a wrap for you.
