Canucks-Ducks games are never boring. Not that I can recall. There's no love between these teams and so it's usually a chippy affair. As you can see above, the Ducks have a 4-10-6 record away from the pond. Their GM has declared that all players except Selanne and Koivu are available. That may have been said to light a fire under his team's ass. Anaheim is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games. They beat the Oilers 5-0 on Friday. Ryan Getzlaf had
4 assists. Corey Perry and Teemu Selanne had a goal and an assist each and Jonas Hiller got the goose egg. So maybe there's a turnaround happening with these Quacks. The Canucks had better not underestimate them, because we've seen what the Ducks can do to us when that happens: Turnover/Transition hell. Odd man rushes against that make you wanna kick the shit outta your $2000 TV.

Going to go ahead and copy your NHL 12 sim result xD
4-1 Canucks, Dank with the winner.
Have you accepted Aaron Rome as your Lord and Savior?

It’s time consuming tho. I edit the rosters to match the current ones to make it accurate

Yeah I was wondering about that.
Does it take into account the teams actual record too? Streaks and trends etc.
Not sure how much of a difference that stuff makes but it’s pretty cool nonetheless
Have you accepted Aaron Rome as your Lord and Savior?
No no, I won’t make it that complicated. Just edit the rosters and play a game with the controller on neutral

5-2 Nucks, Kesler
In summing up, it's the Constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe and... No, that's it, it's the vibe. I rest my case

4-2 Nucks

Booth back
But that’s a lotta speed around Hodgson on Line 3. If they click, that could be a lot of fun to watch…
5-2, Canucks
Burrows with the winner!

5-2 Canucks, the Ducks fall back to Easrth…3 first period goals, with David Booth ( he is coming back, even if he is playing coy with the media ) with the GWG

He was joking....this the next part
Boudreau was speaking facetiously, of course, as he and his team are eager to see how much progress they have made over the past nine days by taking on last season’s Stanley Cup finalist and, for the moment, the pacesetter in the Western Conference.

you can't wear your heart on your sleeve, if you're just gonna leave...

Don't do it!
Based on my experience, it’ll be 2-2 in the 3rd and MayRay will have about 5 glorious chances…and just miss.
I'M GOING TO THIS GAME WITH JAKE (JJ CANUCK)
PICTURES WILL BE TAKEN
HISTORY WILL BE MADE

Canucks 5-2, Danny.

I really enjoy playing with him."
