He's been pretty invisible (i'm glad) , do you guys think he's hurt?

I've used the same word--invisible--to describe him this series. He really has been a complete non-factor.

i think thats what playing against lidstrom and draper will do to you. that line along with any lids d pairing really does shut down the opposition

[DaKineMaui 8]

He got off at least a couple really good shots in that gm 3. Dom just said no.

wings found a way to contain him, im pretty sure that was atop there priority list going into the series and they have fallen through with it 100%...i expect him to have a decent game tomorrow.

[Guest bullocks]

selanne's too old hagahah sound familiar

naw, like budy said...that's what happens when u play against lidstrom.

[akustyk 84]

Selane is playing lot of minutes and going to the net, and he is visible.

but he's been drasticaly(sp) ineffective. maybe it's lack of Kunitz or McDonald on his side, maybe it's just Nick Lidstrom

truth being said, Getzlaf is not playing more traffic than sister Teemu, but he's been more dangerous so far.

A (tiny) part of me feels bad for the guy, all those years in the league and no Cup but wouldn't it be awesome for a guy like Filppula whom Selanne praised so highly to end up winning the Cup instead? And as a rookie, no less.

Another typical playoff absence for Teemu.

he's been pretty much invisible the whole playoffs right? not just this series.. so i don't think its just because of lidstrom, altho im pretty sure nick isnt helping

Well he may be slumping, but everyone has to sometime, he's still a firecracker offensively and he knows how to put the body to good use. Im not sure if its pure slumping or some kind of nagging injury he doesn't want to disclose, but make no mistake our defensive strategy doesn't write a player like him off under any circumstance.

I think he's injured for sure; no one on the Ducks wants the cup as badly as he does.

Maybe it's not injury related. Let's give some credit where it's due, note this pattern:

Iginla: invisible

Marleau: invisible (and to a certain extent after game 3, Thornton)

Selanne: invisible

Our defense, even depleted, is amazing TONS of credit to the hard backchecking Babcock preaches for the forwards too.

He'll bustout tonight. The ketchup bottle is ready to burst.

I'll think it's the combination of every reasons.

Injured finger + No Kunitz + Lidström = 0+0 in three games.

Just because a guy doesn't show up on the scoring sheet doesn't mean he's invisible. Selanne was actually pretty effective in games 1 and 2. He occupies a lot of attention with opens things up for other guys.
