Ducks vs San Jose Sharks

Nothing all too remarkable about this game... Ducks didn't show up to play until the 2nd period, after the Sharks had already put three goals on the board. Although, it didn't help matters much that the first Shark goal got past Jonas Hiller only 14 seconds into the game.

Yes, 14 seconds. It was gonna be one of those games.

You could see it too, Hiller wasn't on the ball. He looked slow and sluggish. After the game, the news was released that Hiller wasn't feeling well. Fatigue and dizziness would take him out of the next couple of games.

Luckily, backup Curtis McElhinney was able to stop the bleeding. The Ducks turned up to play, with goals from Joffrey Lupul, Cam Fowler, and Bobby Ryan bringing the Ducks within one. But bringing the equalizer just wasn't in the cards tonight. Our boys would lose this one 3-4.

I'd paid good money for great seats in the lower bowl, so at least I have a few good pictures to show for it!

The next time I splurge for awesome seats, I'd really appreciate a win!
