Ducks@Sharks

Goalies: Pogge/Giguere

Justin Pogge isn't going to sleep well. It's preseason but competition wise for the players, it doesn't matter. The Sharks horribly outshot the Ducks.

Justin Pogge did well as he started off in the game. This was his first full game in the preseason. His ice time adding up to 75 minutes, he first received his first ice time against the Vancouver Canucks as he split time with veteran goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere. The Ducks were horribly out-shot. In the 3rd period the Sharks outshot the Ducks 26-9.

In the first half as he first started off. Pogge seemed to be spectacular. He was like the foot soldier picking off the snipers in his alleged vicinity. He made amazing saves against the likes of Ryane Clowe, Dany Heatly, Dan Boyle and even Douglas Murray. As the game went on he had been pick pocketed by those pesky kids running wild on the train without a ticket. Except these kids, the Sharks are those greedy rich kids, who have this nice house in one of the best neighborhoods but still they're on the train picking pockets and stealing pocket watches, and wads of cash. The Ducks were like the police ignoring the kids not confronting them or just not paying attention. Ignoring the fact that there's criminals on the training stealing from the paid for passengers.

Pogge is going to have recurring nightmares for the next couple days with Douglas Murray, the Sharks defenseman who managed to score a hat trick in the Sharks 0-6 win. Evgeni Nabokov wasn't too busy as he had 15 shots on him the entire game. Yet, this guy gets the first star of the game. I guess he did get the shutout. Nabokov a much much more seasoned goaltender than Pogge is.

None of the Ducks tonight impressed me. I didn't get to see the game because it wasn't streamed but in a lot of cases the team seemed lazy, not into the game. Veterans in the likes of Scott Niedermayer, Teemu Selanne, Ryan Getzlaf did not play in tonight's game.

As it seemed in the 3rd Pogge tried to compose himself Sharks' Devin Setgouchi scores on him. There seemed to be a lot of just Pogge and the shooter in this game.

The only thing that was exciting for the Ducks side was Troy Bodie's fight with Sharks' Mike Moore and Sheldon Brookbank's fight with Sharks' Ryane Clowe. It's a good thing this is preseason, boys.
