WC Playoffs Round 1: Anaheim Ducks vs Dallas Stars (Ducks win 4-2).

[FireGilbert]

The Ducks are looking really good so far. A lot of people are picking Dallas for an upset but I don't see that happening. Anaheim has too much scoring power and a much better defence which more than makes up for their goaltending issues.

I think that Hiller will most likely get the next start and most of the remaining games, but if he starts to be shaky, Andersen will play.

[RyZ]

Wow. Beauty on the PP. I dont think either Getzlaf or Perry got a point there but they were both dominant for a stretch just before the goal was scored.

[flamesfan1297]

scores, 3-0

[Anduril]

Can't see why people would pick Dallas for an upset. They've got one good first line but can't compete with the depth or talent of the Ducks.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Seguin scores, 4-3 now.

[flamesfan1297]

Uh-oh. This is bad. Seguin just scored 4-3 now

[CalgaryFan1988]

Ducks seem to be getting away with a lot.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Gotta call that penalty.

[Philly06Cup]

hate hate hate that move. intentionally pushing the net off. it's worse than diving. unsportsmanlike. not a hockey play. if dallas has possession, now it reverts to a neutral faceoff. what a cheater mc cheater face.

[CalgaryFan1988]

Getzlaf puck to the face.

[flamesfan1297]

Its over. Ducks win 4-3. To go up 1 game in the series. Stars almost completed the comeback. Go ducks!!

[CalgaryFan1988]

Not sure how many times the announcers said "Ducks got away with one there", but it was more than 3-4 times.

[Cortez]

ouch

I picked Dallas for the upset because of what I said earlier in the thread. Boudreau has a reputation for his teams collapsing in the playoffs. The Capitals won a presidents trophy and couldn't get out of round 1.

The Ducks almost blew a 4 goal lead tonight.

What was the deal with this? Is he okay? Expected to be in next game/not a big deal?
