I have a bad feeling about this game. I'm expecting that the sleepy veterans of Dallas wake up this game to help Perry win against his old team.
If he hadn't been injured this would have lined up to be his 1000 game played.

Benn-Hintz-Perry line will be fun to watch tonight. I think that line for Dallas is the one the Ducks need to be worried about.

He didn’t, though. He was notorious for coming into camp out of shape. It was clear the past two seasons that he was dogging it at times. The only season that he declared he was going to bust his ass in the off-season was...after the Ducks bought him out.

Loved his play, have a jersey, Wish him well, completely understand that he brought that buyout upon himself.
Getz is also notorious for not training in the off-season. Would you say he hasn't given it his all? How much did Perry play through before the injuries finally caught up to him? He was never the same after Stajan blew up his knee. I agree he brought his fate upon himself, that doesn't mean I'll ignore all the slashes and crosschecks and spears he took over the years trying to score goals for his team.

I don’t remember Getzlaf ever being as out of shape as Perry at the start of a season, and I don’t recall any games where Getzlaf was dogging it and quitting on plays while Perry was busting his ass whereas it’s very easy to recall the opposite. I’ve also heard stories of...rather animated one way discussions between Perry and BM that I’ve not heard of regarding Getzlaf (not saying they haven’t happened though). Let’s be honest though - he took all those cheap shots because he earned them being just as dirty a player.

You’re free to have your own opinion, clearly, but I’m also not sure I get why people would be actively rooting for a Dallas win tonight.

Lame ass take. Expand your amoebic brain to the point that you're able to like more than one thing at once.
Read my second post guy. Its not because he is just a former Duck. I still love Perry but for what he did when he was committed. He mailed it in here the past 3 years. If he has a bounce back season, that means he really wasn't giving it his all here. Adding in that he was part of the leadership group with Anaheim is a huge problem if thats the case.

People that want him to do well against the Ducks tonight sound like guys who want to watch their ex's. Its just strange.

Who's rooting for a Dallas victory? There's one post about "if Dallas wins." I loathe Dallas, especially on the road. I don't want Perry to have a good game. If there's a team that shouldn't get sucked into his antics, it's the Ducks since they know it all too well. Personally, I find him irrelevant now since he's washed up and most likely will be retired in the next couple years. I still hate guys like Benn and Pavelski more.

Sounded like the folks on Facebook?

I loathe Benn because he’s cheap (nowhere near as cheap as Neal, but not clean). Pavelski I respect as a clean, skilled player I just hate to play against. Perry is the definition of the type of player you hate on 30 teams in the league though, we will see if he has enough respect for former teammates to just play skilled hockey and not be throwing elbows and slashes.

From HF and Twitter, I'm shocked to see all the support for Perry to score on the Ducks tonight. I hope he has the worst game of his career. I thought we were all loyal to the team not the players. If you want solo loyalty, go watch golf

Perry for the most part played his ass off here, helped win a cup, won a Hart trophy, took endless amounts of abuse in front of the net and is the 2nd or 3rd best winger in team history. I want to cream the Stars but at the same time I would be happy to see Perry and Cogs have great games in a losing effort . If anyone is to score against us I would rather it were Perry than anyone else.

Most Ducks players that are traded or leave I don’t root for or follow a huge amount after they’re gone but those that mean a lot to the franchise I do. Teemu, Beauchemin, Giguere and Cogs to name a few were guys I felt like that about and Perry now joins that list.

That doesn't surprise me. I try to stay away from 90% of FB because it's a cesspool and the people who post there post on Anaheim Calling, probably.

But yes, until Perry does something to make me despise him as an opposing player, I won't harbor any bad feelings. Or any feelings really.

I'm just hoping we can score on the PP. This was one aspect of the game that I thought Eakins was supposed to help improve.

Aside from the known skid, the team is skating and generating chances. Hopefully, things start clicking sooner than later.

Aww man, going against Perry makes the trade finally feel real. I'm not okay with this.

I wonder if Perry and Getz have any friendly wagers going for the game tonight, either individual or team performance-wise...I guess if we see Beast Mode Getz, we'll know....

So Eakins still refuses to see that Shore and Del Zotto deserve to be in the lineup and that some of the kids should be with the Gulls. Sigh.
Bob Murray decides if kids stay up or not. Not eakins, also, they could be on showcase( one of them may be moved, and BM needs time to see which one he feels might be most ready for us and trade the one who isnt

Del Zotto belongs in over Holzer, but he's not a kid.

Not sure why all of a sudden they've decided Holzer is an every day guy.
