Ducks Outshined By Dallas Stars

(via NHL.com)

The Ducks face their division rival Dallas Stars tonight at American Airlines Center. A huge game for the Ducks, who need to turn their season around NOW if they want to make playoffs.

Game Recap

First Period-

Hiller back in net, Bachman in net for the Stars
Stars have been great all season, tough game coming up
(9:06) Brenden Morrow wrists one past Hiller (ANA-0, DAL-3)
Stars dominating the game, complete one-sided

Second Period-

(1:19) Alex Goligoski sends a blast after getting a pass from Souray (ANA-0, DAL-2)
(1:43) Not even 30 seconds later, Ribiero send a bullet past Hiller (ANA-0, DAL-3)
This isn’t looking good at all….
(4:30) Teemu Selanne comes in clutch scoring on the PP (ANA-1, DAL-3), He is now tied with Mike Modano 22nd all time in career points.
Selanne is the only one on this team that looks decent.
(14:49) Lubomir Visnovsky sends a slap shot through traffic which deflects off Vernon Fiddler and past Bachman (ANA-2, DAL-3).
Corey Perry decides who should try and fight when we are FINALLY getting back in the game. Some MVP.
(18:27) Nick Bonino tips in a Cam Fowler slapshot (ANA-3, DAL-3).
Huge scrum in front of the Ducks net, saved by the bell!

Third Period-

Huge period coming up.
Some quality back and forth hockey
(6:42) Fowler makes a bade mistake and Michael Ryder capitalizes (ANA-3, DAL-4).
Stars controlling the puck most this period
Huge scramble in front of Hiller with 3 Ducks down. Puck stays out
(14:19) Ducks have a terrible turnover in their own zone and Eric Nystrom gives the go ahead goal (ANA-3, DAL-5)
Perry again getting all pissy, maybe he should actually score a goal…

Stats:

Teemu Selanne is tied with Mike Modano 22nd overall in career points
Ducks went 2/3 on the PP, 2/4 on the PK
Ducks were outshot 33-28 tonight
4 goals is the most Richard Bachman has allowed so far this season

Much of the same tonight, the Ducks defense was nowhere to be seen. Corey Perry was a complete joke of a player tonight. Fighting and being a whiny little baby when his team is down by 2 goals, then causing them to go shorthanded. Are you kidding me??!
