Except Anaheim isn't part of LA at all and doesn't have the same fan base so that doesn't make any sense. Different city, different county, its 40 miles away, longer than the distance from Baltimore to Washington DC. I would know since I've lived in both. In fact most Anaheim fans hate LA teams/fans with a passion - there are huge differences between the fan bases (a lot of it is social, economic, and even racial divides).

Your anger is directed at the Dodgers, but Ducks fans are Angels fans who dislike the Dodgers and loathe the LA Kings. That's like your basketball team being eliminated by the Wizards and so you decide you now hate the Ravens, or your baseball team being eliminated by the San Francisco Giants so now you hate the Raiders. The only connection is that Arte Moreno is retarded and decided to name the Angels the "LA Angels of Anaheim" which every agrees was stupid and was supposed to bring in LA fans (it didn't) but only polarized the fan bases even more.

Ducks fans are Dodger fans though, some of them.

Justin · 10-16-2009, 12:56 AM

I really wasn't expecting the Sharks to get steamrolled by the Caps.

docstop · 10-16-2009, 04:57 PM

Anybody here major junior hockey fans?

docstop · 10-19-2009, 10:28 PM

Avs are off to a hot start. I'm surprised really. Hope they can keep it going.

Love it when they beat the Red Wings!

FranklinTard · 10-19-2009, 11:04 PM

i actually thought the pick up of anderson was great, he was the best goalie in florida last year, can't believe they let him go.

Ramplate · 10-19-2009, 11:13 PM

Just found out my care worker was on the NY Rangers (what do they call them?) farm team.
He's played hockey at Madison Square Garden before.

I think it might be the Hartford Wolfpack.

docstop · 10-25-2009, 09:31 PM

Any comments on the Darcy Tucker hit? I feel bad for him getting hurt and even though I'm an Avs fan. The hit by Ruutu seemed like a routinge play. Did kinda catch him from behind.

FranklinTard · 10-29-2009, 07:26 PM

first gonchar then malkin, this season is not going as well as i thought.

around december we should be in tip top shape... but thats a while away. see how the chosen one carries us.

saveus1011 · 10-30-2009, 12:43 AM

Did not like hearing about Malkin at all.

docstop · 10-30-2009, 03:30 PM

hopefully Malking bounces back quickly. I'd bet that some of his shoulder trouble has to do with way back when he got picked on by Canada at the World Juniors.

Diablo · 11-03-2009, 06:40 PM

Hopefully we can win these games without Ovie, and hopefully he isn't out too long.

Justin · 11-10-2009, 01:03 PM

Shouldn't be too long before the Caps get Ovie back it seems:

Quote:

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Alex Ovechkin says he was joking when he told a reporter over the weekend that he could be out more than a month.

The Washington Capitals star practiced lightly Monday and said he would actually miss about a week.

He hasn't played since leaving a Nov. 1 game against Columbus after he was hurt in a scrum. The Capitals said last week that Ovechkin, whose 14 goals and 23 points lead the team, was week to week with what they called an upper-body problem.

Ovechkin, who was quoted by Yahoo! Sports on Saturday night as saying he could miss four or five weeks, insisted his left shoulder was not affected by the still unspecified injury, animatedly flexing the joint and telling reporters with a smile, "The shoulder's fine, see?"

Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau ruled Ovechkin out for Wednesday's home game against the New York Islanders, but held out hope that his superstar could be ready by the weekend. Washington hosts Minnesota on Friday and travels to New Jersey on Saturday.

"I know Alex's determination is he wants to play," Boudreau said. "I don't think Wednesday's an option, but I'm not counting anything out after that."

Added general manager George McPhee: "We'll see if he can play this weekend. There's that hope, but we want to be smart about it. ... He's a guy you almost have to hold back. You don't want any setbacks."

Ovechkin, wearing a yellow, non-contact jersey, joined his teammates about 55 minutes into Monday morning's practice.

He skated while the rest of the Capitals finished their workout, pausing briefly to autograph a jersey for a fan who opened a door in the practice rink and shoved it through, then took part in light shooting drills with assistant coach Bob Woods and teammate Eric Fehr once the rest of the team departed the ice.

Most of Ovechkin's attempts were wrist shots, though he did wind up on a couple of soft slap shots from long range, once raising his arms in his familiar celebratory pose after finding the net on a drive.

"It was easy shots, no hard ones," he said. "I don't want to rush my body to make some real hard shots."

Ovechkin reported none of the discomfort that forced him to cut short a Friday session in Sunrise, Fla.

"Now, it's no pain. It's progress, I think," he said. "I'm happy about it."

About an hour after practice ended, Ovechkin was back on the ice for a 15-minute skate with strength and conditioning coach Mark Nemish.

Also, Michael Nylander, who has not played this season because Boudreau doesn't think he fits into the team's system, cleared waivers Monday. McPhee said the Capitals were weighing their options with the veteran center and hoped to have a resolution by Tuesday, when he plans to attend GM meetings in Toronto.

FranklinTard · 11-10-2009, 01:37 PM

who cares, pens need to get healthy quick. now letang is day to day.

docstop · 11-10-2009, 03:01 PM

While on the topic of injuries... feel bad for Cam Ward getting cut by Rick Nash's skate. Kinda freak accident, glad it wasn't another Malarchuck moment.

Justin · 11-10-2009, 09:10 PM

This is seriously getting out of hand.

Anyways, thanks for posting Justin. Here's hoping it's pretty soon.

FranklinTard · 11-11-2009, 12:34 AM

now there goes orpik... half of our defense is injured, literally. and our offense is atrocious, absolutely atrocious. we need kennedy back at least.

FranklinTard · 11-15-2009, 07:40 PM

.4 seconds left and guerin drills one, with the feed from malkin. so glad to have him back.
