Needs more rakell in that projected line up.

I think were going to get a pretty tough game from Vancouver tonight, hopefully the team is ready and not over amped for home opener.

Ducks DVM · 01-25-2013, 02:45 PM

Looking forward to it, now I just have to decide on which jersey to wear.......

Lord Flashheart · 01-25-2013, 02:46 PM

The last team to play it's home opener. Feels good to be special.

No it doesn't. He isn't playing.

@Icemancometh Peter Holland will be in the Ducks' lineup tonight against Vancouver. Looks like Rickard Rakell is out.

Exit Dose · 01-25-2013, 02:50 PM

Come on Bonino or Holland. Someone has to step up and take that spot.

JabbaJabba · 01-25-2013, 02:50 PM

So is Rakell playing tonight or not?

Ducks need to do what they did last time, use the 3rd line against their 1st line. Kassian has been good and Sedins are always dangerous, take care of them to win the match.

Let's go Duuuuuuuucks!!

Corey Perry* · 01-25-2013, 02:51 PM

Staying home for this one. Go Ducks!

AngelDuck · 01-25-2013, 02:55 PM

I'd rather give Holland a chance between Ryan and Selanne, but I guess this lineup will work

Go Ducks!

BB is likely being judicious in where and how to use Rakell's 5 games.

SupermanPahlsson · 01-25-2013, 02:57 PM

Hope Holland can play a good 3-zone game tonight. Vancouver can't exploit that matchup (yes, this makes me sound like a Rakell homer, whatever).

Also, I'm assuming Boudreau is really giving DSP a chance to prove that the AHL stint was a fluke.

DarthYenik · 01-25-2013, 02:58 PM

Thank god, three days and no Ducks hockey, I was about to snap.

Lemmiwinks · 01-25-2013, 03:10 PM

Good luck in this one guys! Please, go easier on us this time

Pepper · 01-25-2013, 03:20 PM

5am games are great during the week but on weekends they suck for me. I'm afraid I'm gonna pass out before the puck drops.

Everyone's expecting a 7-5 no-defense affair so it's probably going to be 2-1OT win for either team.

Damn Skippy · 01-25-2013, 03:22 PM

The season is young! There's still time to shoot a Russian unicorn.

Haha I agree

According to the Ducks' morning skate report, Getzlaf was not on the ice (no explanation given) and Rakell skated in his place on the first line.

He was upstairs signing his new contract.

Doh! Link, please, if possible.

And Great GDT set up! Very nice JT.

I'm hoping to Hiller gets a shutout. Three days is long enough for both Souray and Beauchemin to catch their breaths.
