Game 5: Rangers vs Ducks
The Anaheim Mighty Ducks travel to New York to take on the Rangers tonight at 5. The Rangers have looked really impressive in the last 3 games, and the Ducks are coming off a come from behind win yesterday against the Flyers.
The Ducks have a pretty well balanced lineup, led by Ryan Getlzaf and Corey Perry. Teemu Selanne is joining up with his Finnish friend Saku Koivu, and they looking to repeat their Olympic magic of a few years ago. Jonas Hiller, a member of my fantasy team, is the starter, although he played yesterday, so we might see J-S Giguère.
The Rangers will start Steve Valliquette for the first time this year, and Sean Avery is making his season debut as well. Presumably, the top 3 lines will remain the same, and Aaron Voros will sit. As Dave wrote earlier, Enver Lisin might be the odd man out next game depending on how well Avery plays. Defensive pairs are the same, although it will be interesting to see how Michal Rosival responds after last game’s third period benching.
Treat this as your open thread for tonight’s game. Discuss the game, interact with other fans, have fun. We’ve had a lot of comments the past couple games. Let’s do it again. Enjoy the game.

Sect 415 row G for me today. Last row in the section, behind the net. Surprisingly great seats, get to see the play develop.

According to Zipay, Avery skating with Lisin and Anisimov. Kotalik with Boyle and Brashear. Interesting

Kotalik to 4th line. Lisin and Avery flanking Anisimov.
Not a fan of the move. IMO, Lisin should be on 4th line.

Kotalik on the 4th line? I can think of 400 ways to better use $3 million.

Not going to lie, Ryan Getzlaf is one of my favorite players in the league. That dude is a monster.

My seats are right in front of the beer, and the beer girl (Roz) is awesome.

Pretty good period if you ask me. Lots of shots. They’ll break Jiggy eventually
