If it's going to be 4-3

This is the one I want to see.

I think the Ducks played well...except maybe the 2nd period when they gave up that shorty.

So glad to see Teemu Selanne set the franchise-record at 617 games played as a Duck. Then he added to his goals for the season with a great battle in front of the net to give the Ducks that ultimate game winner. For someone who has played as long as Selanne has, I'm sure this milestone doesn't mean much, but for Ducks fans, it means he's the ultimate. I think it's wonderful to have such an amazing player like Selanne represent this underrated (okay, maybe not THIS season), underrepresented hockey market. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have representing the Ducks than Selanne.

Anyway, I know there was so much more to this game...
Jonas Hiller being fantastic again, really posting up huge in the final moments when the Ducks were giving it their all to close out the game. Bobby Ryan NOT getting that 12th goal for the month of January, but continuing his point streak none the less. Scott Niedermayer and Ryan Getzlaf each getting 3 points last night, and numerous shots of Getzlaf on the bench wiggling the loose teeth that are undoubtedly going to be coming out soon. That guy is just working on a whole new set isn't he?

Overall, this is two points that the Ducks desperately need.

Today is kinda crazy...Super Bowl madness and such. Just in case you're wondering...I have Arizona +7.5, with the Pittsburgh winning the game.

More importantly...
GO DUCKS!
