Dude, the Ducks' announcers are the worst in the NHL. We had to have them for a Sabres vs ducks game, and they kept making cheesy cracks about Tyler Myers height. I just wanted to vomit.

It's almost unexplainable how much I hate the Ducks and the Kings. I'm from Southern California and hearing these two names mentioned makes me want to dropkick babies… but I especially hate losing to these teams, when we've proven we can take on bigger/better teams.

Not to mention how many times they brought up Jimmy's hips. Just weird.

Anyway, we're supposed to be talking about hate, so here goes:

I HATE giving up goals in the first 90 seconds of a game. I HATE people starting fights after clean hits. I HATE how many stupid Vezina-worthy goaltending performances we have faced this season. I HATE hearing the same old story about all the players we lost from last season for the millionth time (seriously, we have already played the Ducks this year more than once, haven't they said that already?). I HATE hearing about how we lost because we were weary, tired, jet-lagged, etc. I HATE that everybody else we wanted to win lost last night.

And of course, I HATE the Ducks.

Oh, and I forgot to mention: the Ducks' announcers didn't irritate me nearly as much as I thought they would; they actually talked about the Wings and everything, unlike that nation-wide NBC Pittsburgh affiliate. But seriously, they have to be the cheesiest people ever, so I agree with you 100 million percent there. Earlier in the season, I was watching a Ducks' game, and I actually heard them say "Oh, look out, cook out" during a breakaway. I haven't been the same since.

Hiller was ridiculous. Plain and simple he was all over the ice. And for the most part he didn't have to make spectacular saves. I think he's probably got the quickest directions changes and best body positioning. Wish he would go to the East but oh well.

And good job by E dropping the gloves, take THAT Brad May.

Brad May was completely invisible, except for one solid hit he leveled on someone. I can't remember who it was, so I guess it doesn't matter after all.

I think Filppula had an awesome night; for whatever reason, it wasn't his night to find the back of the net, ever. But he was working extremely hard out there, flying around and finding chances. Coming out of the loss, I was happiest about his, Helm's and Eaves's performances last night.
