Day 3: Forward lines and defense pairs. Update.
For the first time all camp, you can put a lot of stock into these.
The Black Team is suiting up for tomorrow night's game against the Phoenix Coyotes. The White Team is not. Should anyone be worried that the Black team lost 7-2 in the intrasquad scrimmage? Only if you're on the Black Team, perhaps, but Randy Carlyle wanted to trot out a younger lineup in the Ducks' preseason debut - probably with an eye toward the first round of roster cuts.
That means if fans want to get a glimpse of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Teemu Selanne, Saku Koivu, Jonas Hiller, Todd Marchant, George Parros, Jason Blake, Kyle Chipchura, Andy Sutton, Sheldon Brookbank - and a couple others who will probably start the season in the NHL - the time is 10 a.m. tomorrow at Anaheim ICE. They get the night off.*
Bobby Ryan, Aaron Voros, Lubomir Visnovsky, Paul Mara and Ryan Carter won't be there, since they will be with leading youngsters into battle at the morning skate tomorrow at Honda Center.
Without further ado, then:
