Wiki Integration, Finally

So, there is about 2:00 minutes left in the game and I have been working on this since the third period started, after about 30 minutes I was able to finally get it to work. Personally I think it was the Jack and Coke, but what do I know, I have been drinking. The point is that it works and I am excited. I am hoping to make this the best resource for any information you could want to know about the organization. I am almost certain that everyone who has been on the internet in the last 18 months or so has been to Wikipedia once or twice and I am using the same application as that.

The whole point of a wiki is to have the community maintain the information, add random facts, stats and information that you find relative. Imagine comming to one site to find out who scored the first goal in franchise history, first power play goal, first captain, a list of captains over the years. Anything you can think of, it can be added to the database, by any registered user. If you see something inaccurate that another user wrote, you can change it. This is the kind of thing you work on a lot in the off-season, when you do not have much hockey to watch but you want something hockey related to do.

You have to log in twice right now, but it is still the same login. Down the line, the plugin maker said he will try to use the same session from the blog, so you wouldn’t have to login twice.

And since the game is over, congratulations to Joe DiPenta and Ric Jackman, they had some swolen shoes to fill and they came through in a big way. You have to love how DiPenta’s goal when in, a few weeks ago the Ducks didn’t get that bounce. Maybe things are looking up.

Is it Raining in Phoenix?

Or is that just Roenick crying some more? I used to love that guy, he has a great personality for a hockey player, I wish more had it but he needs to stop complaining. If you wanted to be traded you should have worked harder at your goal to be like Teemu Selanne was last year.

The Ducks welcome the Coyotes to the Honda Center tonight, hopefully to continue the dominance they had over the last few seasons, even though the last few games were horrible, lets rap it up tonight. Teams like the Coyotes are dangerous because they have players coming up or players already on the roster that are fighting for a slot for next season. You gotta know they are going to bring a fast and physical game.

Some injury reports now.

Chris Pronger jammed his toe in an off-ice workout and has been labeled a game time decision tonight. Todd Marchant recently started skating again and the biggest news of all…Brad May is projected to return tonight. So looks like both Jackman and DiPenta will play tonight if Pronger can’t go. I hope he doesn’t, let him have a night off or something.

 

Update:

I guess the previous report I read was wrong, Chris Pronger will be out for two weeks with a broken toe. ESPN link here.
