fla

fla

highlights from article here include:
luongo expected in net(not certain)

and tampa bay called up a couple of guys since they have some injuries--(also needed a tough guy for these back to back games against florida although not sure if he will start or not)

also valeri and kozlov in dog house(again it seems) valeri played only about 8 minutes and kozlov 12 or so against ny isles..

Philly papers say Boucher will start tonight. He seems out of his bad streak, played well last three games.

Giguere, during Duck's 5 game win streak, has posted 0.99 gga with .955 save pct. That guy could stand on his head tonight. But against a Phila team that so dominated LA the other day?

ottawa

ottawa

thanks again T-Ray, Giguere has been spectacular lately but we will see how well the ducks can play with some aggression tonight. contrasting styles of play IMO at work with philly and anaheim.



some ottawa news, maybe Horns' can update us before the game..

havlat expected to return tonight but hossa missed practice yesterday and his status isnt sure... Lalime in nets

Covers sez Lindros in tonight!

Covers sez Lindros in tonight!

Game will be on ESPN

Lindros has had fine practices with FLY line last few days, so I do expect him.

SF Chronicle sez Ragnarsson back tonight, will help slumping SJ PK.

 

[wigs]

thanks T-Ray, TSN also reports Lindros to be back in lineup.

ref pairings today are a conundrum

seems like the past few weeks an 'over' ref has been working with an 'under' ref

tonight

chi/phx joannette is 20-18 o/u with a 5.59 gpg with Shick 14-26 o/u 4.68 gpg

nyr/det has pollock 28-17 to the over 5.96 gpg with devorski 17-28 with a 4.79 gpg(note: strongest home team winning % tonight, combined 58-39 ats)

phi/ana heyer 17-25 with 4.71 goals per game working with o halloran 25-15 to the over, 5.61 gpg

and two teams like fla and tampa who cant score to save their lives have maguire 23-14 to the over 5.59 gpg and peel 24-20 over 5.45 gpg.

be careful out there and play accordingly

Vernon in goal!

Vernon in goal!

Calgary Herald sez Turek has "unspecified nagging injuries" and hasn't skated for five days. Will probably use Vernon tonight.

Vernon started on road against SJ Dec 4, and gave up only 2 goals. Two days later he played 39 mins against them and gave up one on 15 sog. He then gave up 4 to Ducks, then shutout Detroit in Detroit!

His last outing, Jan 29 vs MN, he was pulled after letting 2 shots in on 12 sog. But coach said he was pulled more to shock team than him. Anyway, not a real consistent fellow.

He's 1-5-1 this season, 3.10 gga, .877 pct. Under has hit 4-3 in his starts.

 

[yepitsme]

does anyone have stats about goalies against their ex.team ?
atleast it is a bonus motivation ?

thaks

 

[wigs]

yep, yahoo will list goalies records against each team, so you can find their record against a particular team that way. (click on team, then click on roster, then click on whoever you want to know about, then click on split stats)

for example vernon is 19-2-3 against san jose lifetime with a 1.83 gaa, .927 save % thanks T-RAY!!!
