Now That Is What I Call A Wedding Reception

from George Parros at the Fabulous Forum,

My wife and I made sure to put our own stamp on the weekend event. I decided to have a barbershop quartet perform before the ceremony. I have always loved that stuff—maybe it’s from watching too much “Family Guy.” We decided on having a country band play at the reception, and for a surprise, Tiffany (my wife) hired cigar rollers for all our guests to enjoy. The following day, we went to a local water park because, wedding weekend or not, who doesn’t love water slides?

“In my opinion, there’s nothing more I can do.  made a hockey play. There’s a lot of opinions out there that say that’s a clean hit. And then to hear all four referees tell me it was a clean hit. They had a pretty good view of it too.

“For me to get a two-game suspension … nothing I can really do about it.”

Ducks Searching For Their Identity

from Curtis Zupke of Ducks Blog,

“It’s just a whole attitude change I think we need to have,” defenseman Ryan Whitney said.

“We talked about preparing ourselves better and being ready to play a full 60 minutes, which we might have not even have done once this year. Even in our wins – I think in Boston we had a really bad first period. It’s time to start playing a whole game.”

Carlyle wouldn’t go into details about his talk, but one can surmise that topics included defensive coverage, indecision on the forecheck and inconsistent effort.

The Ducks have allowed 21 goals during their four-game losing streak and again are one of the most penalized teams in the NHL.

All of that points to a team that lacks confidence and might take some time to figure out their game.

“This team has not put itself in a position to create an identity,” Carlyle said.

Was It The Ducks Or Refs That Lost?

from Curtis Zupke of Ducks Blog at the OC Register,

Given 11 power plays, Toronto converted five, including two of three 5-on-3 advantages in a game that spilled out-of-the-margins even for the Ducks, who committed 17 of the game’s 27 penalties.

“We lost the hockey game,” Coach Randy Carlyle said. “Did the referees make as many mistakes as we did or did we make more mistakes than the officiating?  That’s the way I always judge it.

If you go through a hockey game and you can make less mistakes than the officials make in the game, then you usually have pretty good chance of winning.”

That’s not to say Carlyle wasn’t disconcerted with the undisciplined play he saw Monday night.

“It hasn’t been an issue up until tonight,” he said.

Oh The Linesman Goes Down

Colton Orr & George Parros battled last night and Orr basically ‘tells’ the linesman, don’t break us up yet.

I was watching the Ducks TV feed of the game and they pointed out the officials didn’t make a big deal of the push from Colton Orr.
