A: Well, a couple things, Cathy. Believe me, we feel your frustration. But technically speaking, the players the Ducks are taking are not really "ours", they are Ducks prospects. And while it would be nice to keep them for the whole season, they are their players and ultimately have to do what's best for their organization and their development.

The Timo situation is a unique one... you wouldn't expect Anaheim to play last night with just one goaltender would you? Even the Condors signed an emergency back-up for our game (and emergency back-ups rarely have real professional experience - they are just Emergency Back-Ups). The Ducks are an NHL team who just traded their back-up, it only makes sense for them to bring up one of their minor league goalies to fill in.

And for the record, I think Sims did pretty good last night!
