from Adam Brady of Ducks Blog at AnaheimDucks.com,
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Game 7.
Yeah, I know it will say Game 6 on the game programs and the TV screens, but for the Ducks this could be considered do-or-die tonight. The last thing in the world Anaheim wants is to have to face an actual Game 7 back in the Sharks’ barn. So polishing off this series tonight at Honda Center is crucial.
“I think you have to take that mindset,” Ryan Getzlaf said about approaching tonight’s game like it could be the last one. “Anytime you’re in an elimination [situation] you have to put a team behind you when you have the opportunity. We’re in the situation where we’re up 3-2 and we’ve got to try and win this fourth game tonight.”
Yes, tonight. In our building, which better be plenty loud tonight after what we heard in San Jose over the weekend. “They’re our seventh man on the ice,” Corey Perry said about the home crowd. “It keeps the emotion on the bench up and guys feed off that. They’re going to try to take the crowd out of it right away and we’ve got to be first on everything.”
