GDT: #15 Ducks @ Hurricanes | November 10th | 4:00 Pacific

[Static]

Thank you everyone.

 

[Static]

15 goals from the second line, 8 from the first (9 if you put Rakell there).

Getzlaf is tracking 2011 goal scoring numbers.

 

[Sojourn]

Well, ****.

 

[Ducks DVM]

lol. Well I did have a reputation when I played beer league to hit the glass a lot early on before I cared to control my shot. Teammates would be finishing up getting ready and hear pucks hitting the glass and be like "well, Brandon is out there taking shots".

Haven't played in quite awhile... I'd miss even the glass with Silf's stick lol. I do miss playing though. So much fun.

I'd be lucky to hit the ice with the puck at this point lol

Suddenly Bieksa is +2. + last game too if I'm not mistaken.

Just stat watching, is he turning a corner or just lucky bounces?

I thought he was solid last game, but it's just a product of being on the ice at the right time tonight. +/- is not a good statistic.

 

[Sojourn]

Atta boy, Manson.

 

[Exit Dose]

I'm going to be real sad if Manson ends up being the defenseman that leaves this summer.

 

[Pennaduck]

We have to find a way to keep Manson and not lose him to expansion

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Has Stalberg ever fought anyone before?

 

[Nordic*]

Anytime a Swede gets a fighting major, you know he lost, haha..

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

With Manson and Crammer on this team, do we really need Boll?

 

[Sojourn]

Agreed. He's just a good fit, and a good teammate. Not to mention a solid all-around player. Beauchemin-lite.

At dinner at Texas Roadhouse. And of course they seat me right under the one TV showing the Ducks game, and I have to stare straight up. Obviously they have to put the Kings game on the big screen.

 

[Sojourn]

With Manson and Crammer on this team, do we really need Boll?

Probably not, especially at that price. I just don't think Boll is on the ice enough, and he doesn't seem particularly intimidating.

That complicates things

 

[Ducks Nation*]

With Manson and Crammer on this team, do we really need Boll?

Without them we wouldn't need him.

 

[SoCalHockey]

I've enjoyed the growth of Manson. Definitely a solid 3/4 that does everything well enough to compliment his partner. He has a decent outlet pass, can skate, lay the body, and fight. I like it.

He's lost most of the fights I've seen him take. He's one of the last real enforcers in the league, and he's not even doing that job well.


I haven't been able to watch us play the last two days. How has Lindholm looked so far in his return? And is he playing with Bieksa again?

Boll was brought in for the 'fans'. Entertainment value.

The problem is that we have better options for winning games. This isnt the early 90s squad that needed to entertain. Whatever size our fanbase is, we care about salaries, CORSI, and we watch out of market games. We discuss players with international fan bases. Thats a whole different world than the 90s.

We did not need Boll. He is a relic.

 

[Nordic*]

Did Manson obliterate Stalberg, or were there some turtle action going on?

I don't think Boll has 1 fan here.

Well, that's what chaps my ass the most, he hasn't intimidated anybody since being here, yet that was his only reason for being here. We have two guys who can do that and skate regular shifts. But no, we have to sign Jared ****ing Boll to a two year one way deal. FFS

Show me one fan in OC who said, "I'd attend more games if we could sigh a guy like Jared ****ing Boll".

Ryan Reaves would look great in Anaheim. Great fighter and a very serviceable player too. And at a good cap.
