Quick hits from Friday’s practice

April 24th, 2009, 1:56 pm by Curtis Zupke, Staff writer

The Ducks were fairly loose but mostly business-like at Friday’s morning skate, remaining neither cocky nor nervous with their 3-1 lead on San Jose.

Historically, the numbers portend the series ending soon:

The Ducks are 8-2 in their first crack at eliminating an opponent while San Jose is 7-11 in elimination games.

Coach Randy Carlyle wasn’t having any of it.

Economy ends Ducks’ playoff sellout streak

April 23rd, 2009, 7:00 am by Curtis Zupke, Staff writer

Earlier this year, the depressed economic climate was enough for the Ducks to freeze ticket prices for next season.

But fans are feeling the pinch more than ever this season.

That was the main factor for the Ducks’ playoff sellout streak ending at 20 games Tuesday, according to Tim Ryan, executive vice president and chief operating officer.

“You don’t have to look any further than the economy,” Ryan said.

Only 16,277 tickets were sold for Game 3, well short of the 17,174-plus mark the club normally achieves at Honda Center. It was the first time the Ducks failed to sell out a playoff game since Game 6 of the 2006 Western Conference quarterfinals against Calgary and therefore the first playoff non-sellout since the Ducks won the Stanley Cup in 2007.

Turco expected to play tonight against Ducks

April 10th, 2009, 10:18 am by Curtis Zupke, Staff writer

Dallas Stars goaltender Marty Turco is expected to play tonight when the Ducks try to clinch a playoff berth, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Turco has missed the past three games with a lower-body injury but skated Thursday and dressed as a backup to Matt Climie.

Turco is 3-1 with a 2.35 goals-against average against the Ducks this season.

Dallas has been eliminated from playoff contention.
