Funniest comment from a Ducks fan

[high_stick69 7]

My favorite quote from a ducks fan:

What about the player who hit Getzlaf in the face and made him bleed with 7.7 seconds left in the game?, if you are going to suspend someone for an accidental check into the boards , then you should suspend him for giving that type of contact with 7.7 seconds left in the game, as there was absolutely no need to give a high stick to the face of getzlaf when you are up 5-0 and are surely going to win with seconds left in the game, i mean honestly why the f give a penalty of 4 minutes with seconds left into the game?, i mean its like your giving the player a free cheap shot with no consequences to that player!, because the game is already over. I understand there is no stiches needed for Getzies cut, but the same concept holds as what the media is saying, they are preety much saying that the hit was "out of frustration and was not needed because the game was already over and it wasn't accidental", lol. Honestly though thats what they are trying to say about the hit, if they want to play it that way then i think Getzies incident should not go unreckonized.

LOL,.... I only saw the last 3 minutes of the game and it happened to be when Getzlaf got hit with a high stick. It was quite obvious that it wasn't intentional...... this ducks fan is definitely in denial.

Which is why all I have to say is: "Huh? There was a Ducks game last night?"

[YoungGuns1340 1]

i believe hasek was actually questioning an intentional offsites call (i don't know for sure because i was at the game and i can only guess that this was the nature of the discussion), that had a faceoff come back into the detroit zone with like 3.3 seconds on the clock. the fans were bitching and moaning because they already felt that the ducks had an unfair amount of calls go against them in the game, and they probably assumed that hasek was lobying for another call.

still, i noticed that a lot of ducks fans were cheering after holmstrom was injured (and this was well after it was very clear that there was an injured player on the ice), calling for the ducks to start fights after the game was clearly decided, and throwing bottles and towels onto the ice surface during the game. not exactly a night to be proud of if you're a ducks fan.

Yup, I noticed them throwin the s*** on the ice too. I was at Game 2, and I can assure you nobody threw anything on the ice, despite two goals to the Ducks after video review.

At any rate, its absolutely pathetic, but it seems Anaheims fans in reality are equally as ignorant and classless as their fans on the internet. Whenever youve got trolls coming through enemy territory, youve got to take what they say with a grain of salt, but to see/hear the crap that went on at the Ponda last night was some hefty proof of what these fans are really like in person.

Props to the minority Ducks fans that actually come in here to talk hockey and dont defend a hit that was in no way shape or form "questionable" but illegal on all counts.

Haha there is proof in the fact that Maltbys high stick wasnt intentional: Maltby can barely buy himself a goal because he has piss poor aim, and you are trying to convince people that he was able to intentionally poke a guy in the eye when hes standing behind him? If Maltby can do that, hed be a lot more useful in the offense department.

i concur... lots of empty seats indeed. it was still sold out though. you just have these rich SoCal people that can eat the price if they don't feel like going to the game.

Actually there were a lot of people who couldn't make it to the game due to upper or lower body injuries or flu-like symptoms. They're on a game to game status.

[motorcitykid 42]

1) With the Wings up 4-0, why was Hasek ******** (rhymes with witching) to a linesman (at 3.3 seconds left in the 2nd Period) and to a referee (at the end of the 2nd Period) on obviously some trivial play around him. That's called Hockey.

2) The Wings had a great game. They showed up to play, while the Ducks didn't. (Note: I'm a big Ducks fan that stayed to the end of the game before leaving the Honda Center.) Captain Scott wasn't his usual self at the very least. Good thing the Ducks nabbed one in Detroit already.

3) If there is any solace in this beating that was dealt this evening ... at least the Anaheim Ducks have better fans than the self-titled "Hockeytown" team. With a streak of 29 consecutive sell-outs now (and counting) ... "support" is not a word in the Detroit fan's vocabulary.

My 2 pennies back to what he orginally posted:

1-Cause he was upset about a missed offside call, that could've resulted in Anaheim winning the faceoff in Detroit's zone, and scoring.

2-Good thing, I guess, and enjoy it, cause they ain't winning another one there.

3-f***in' newbie.

You guys shouldn't even worry about fans....

it's coming straight from the horse's mouth. The GM.

"We disagree completely with (NHL disciplinarian) Colin Campbell's decision here. But we respect the process,the Ducks general manager Brian Burke said. "If you watch some of the other views, it looks like a dangerous, high hit. If you look at the end zone view, I think it shows best that Chris Pronger went to hit Tomas Holmstrom at a 45-degree angle from the boards.

"At no point is Chris delivering a hit toward the boards, a dangerous hit. He's coming in to finish a check at a 45-degree angle. Rob Niedermayer steps into the player (Holmstrom), pins him, you get a high finish."

right.... a 45 degree angle hit. Hey Burke, nobody gives a crap about the boarding... it's the elbown to the head. Does this look clean?

There's a great video with Barry Melrose about the hit....

true. but the parking situation at the ponda makes things even worse. it took me well over an hour just to park and get into the arena. i coulda parked, got into the arena, took a piss, got some panda, found my seats, ate, and took a nap in the same amount of time at staples.

Yes, but Staples doesn't have Edison Field right on top of it and Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm around the corner And Staples doesn't know that people actually play hockey in May

Article with video

You know its a straight up and down situation when Melrose puts it out there like that, he picks against us every series so you know he's not in our corner personally, and he is a former Defenseman himself, as well as coach. What amazed me was the kind of denial of wrongdoing by Pronger coming out of his own locker room, I fully understand supporting your players, but there is no question he was out of line. It doesn't get any more blatantly obivous than that hit.

He also said that it's Holmstrom's fault cause his helmet fell off.

[Zetter is Better 0]

Some of the people I talked to about the hit said "Its Homers fault, he wasn't wearing his helmet right." and I said "How the hell does a helmet protect you from being elbowed in the back of the head while having your head driven into the glass from behind?" They had no comment because eveyone knows that the hit was dirty.

Pronger will be a big loss (bigger than the gap between his teeth loss) and this game will be such a pivitol game in the series.

Anywho, Puck Fronger!

[justheducks 0]

I'm not sure if this is kosher or not, but I saw the following obnoxious comment on the Ducks forum:

To summarize, Pronger opening up Homer's forehead on a "questionable" hit from behind into the boards is not suspension worthy. Hasek's waterbottle is the real crime here.

theres no way in hell the pronger hit was worst then what booguard was doing during the wild-ducks series. he was throwing legs out everywhere. i think almost every duck fan can agree with me on this one because we have watched every second of every game and know what has happened to the ducks and the teams they have played. frankly most of you are bias when you talk about the holmstrom hit and i dont blame you i think everyone is when it comes to there team. but the fact of the matter is that pronger wasnt going around looking for someone to hurt he was simply following a hit. i mean for christ sake holmstrom was outskating pronger and odds are pronger would not have caught him. it was rob that cut him off and forced a quick reaction out of pronger. you can watch the reply a hundred times and see exactly what i am talking about. And if there is someone to put a little blame on it should be the refs of that game. probably the msot one sided reffed game i have ever seen in the playoffs. the ducks had no chance to make any type of comeback or gain any momentum. i believe it was just under 13 minutes penalized of the 2nd period to the ducks. thats almost a quarter of the game that was on the penalty kill for the ducks just in the 2nd period alone. thats just ridicilous to say the least. yes the ducks did take penalties in the 2nd but the wings got away with a few noncalls that later resulted in a wings powerplay. if you call 6 straight penalties you have to return the favor to the opposite team and give them a chance in the game. just an unwritten rule that was completely not put in use yesterday and makes alot of people feel like all the refs drove a car with a michigan plate with a detroit red wings license plate cover lol

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

There's nothing to say about the Pronger hit that hasn't been said - it's indefensible.

With regards to penalties: the game was over when the Ducks started making their parade to the box. Coincidence? Of course not. The Ducks lost their cool and that's why they spent the second period a man down. If they had a chance to come back from that deficit, it was the Ducks who pissed it away, not the refs.

Are you a retard? Oh my Gosh! It's WAY worse! Holmstrom's head was split open! He had freaking THIRTEEN STITCHES! NO ONE on the Ducks was hurt by Boogie's errant knees. Pronger's hit was extremely dirty, now that I have seen it. I hope you're kidding. I'm a DIE HARD Ducks fan and I do NOT agree with this. I think this is a huge load of crap! You don't give games away with penalties! Just because we take six doesn't mean the refs have to turn around and give out six! You EARN penalties, you don't have them given to you because the ref is bored. Now I know why the Wings fans are so mad and think that all Ducks fans think this is such some horrible crime that Pronger has been suspended. Wow. Now it makes sense why Wings fans think we are all SO blinded by homersim. Wow....

[CopenhagenWing 38]

Are you kidding me?

The referees absolutely do not HAVE to (in your words) return the favour to the opposite team and give them a chance in the game.

Do they often choose this road? Unfortunately so. Weak makeup calls are one of the worst things in hockey no matter who the recipient is.

You cannot penalize team B just because team A loses its' composure.

[RoninJai 5]

I think the only time you see the dreaded "makeup" call, is when the refs call something, and KNOW they made the wrong call, but they can't overturn it by that point, so they try to equalize it by calling an opposing chincey penalty. And even then...its not something they would hand out if they'd made the right call in the first place.

Your assertion that makeup calls is "an unwritten rule in the NHL" may quite possibly be the most uniniformed statement about the game of hockey I've ever read on a message board, and we're all a little dumber for having read that. I suggest you study the game a little bit more before trying to hang with seasoned hockey fans.

Not only do you make yourself look like you are as noob a hockey fan as they come, but you don't even know when to use a friggin period.

Seriously, Im speechless with your stupidity. If a team is dominating in one end, and possessing the puck the majority of the time, that team who is possessing the puck is gonna get the calls going their way 95% of the time. Thats a fact that all knowledgeable hockey fans know. Its the reason that puck possession teams 9 times out of 10 are at the bottom of the list in terms of calls against them at the end of the year.

The only blame that should be dealt should be to the Ducks for not moving their feet and getting THEMSELVES back in the game. Thats what GOOD hockey teams do.

[Kp-Wings 3]

The best part is that the only reason the Ducks sell out games is because of THE TONS OF RED WINGS FANS LIVING IN CALIFORNIA!!!

HAHAHA. An Anaheim fan was just on here the other day saying something like "30% of the people in the stands are usually Red Wings fans."

I know! That's what's so funny about how Anaheim fans talk so much s*** about the Wings not selling out playoff games. They don't realize that about 12 people at the game are true Ducks fans and the rest are Wings fans that live in California.

yeah because 90% of wings fans around the country (not det.) are bandwagoners and only liek them because they were good for 5 straight years

there the yankees of hockey
