GDT: Anaheim Ducks @ Colorado Avalanche

[duckaroosky]

The true meaning behind his carefully sculpted words is out there in the ether... Now it's up to us to find it.

It's probably buried out there with our offense.

 

[Sean Garrity]

A power kill!!!

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Hey, I saw Perry!

 

[navyduck]

Wait....colorado is able to take penalties? I am confused

 

[Exit Dose]

haha, were they playing Power Trip before our power play?

Right next to Gibson's healthy groin.

 

[Sojourn]

The team looks amazing with Boll out of the lineup

Yeah, they're missing Gibson, Getzlaf, Lindholm, Vatanen, Kesler, and Kase... but Boll is the missing link.

Mod

 

[DarthYenik]

NOW we get a power play.

The team looks amazing with Boll out of the lineup

But they look terrible without Getzlaf, Kesler, Lindholm, Sami, Kase, Miller and Gibson right. Cause with Boll, they'd totally be winning

 

[Ducks DVM]

We are such a bad team right now

 

[Exit Dose]

We are such a bad team right now

Because Boll isn't playing.

 

[Sojourn]

Meh.

 

[ohcomeonref]

I hope we are getting this seasons low point out of the way early.

 

[Exit Dose]

Can we have the entire team spend tomorrow writing out 'I will not slash the other team' a hundred times on the blackboard tomorrow?

 

[DarthYenik]

You mean, if most of your best players are injured, you lose games?

 

[Sojourn]

Does this really count? It isn't the entire team playing crappy. It's half the talent being removed. If not more than half.

If by Boll, you mean Getzlaf, then your sarcasm is warranted. Boll spent 26 more seconds in the box than he did on the ice in the last win. And it was only 2 minor penalties. Think about that.

I'm hoping it counts, lol. I don't want to see worse games than that this season. It wasn't even good entertainment value, save for when things got a bit heated in the second and Montys goal.

Challenge accepted. That'll build wrist strength for more effective slashes.

I don't think any team, ones that actually have legitimate high end 1st and 2nd line centers, can lose both players and not have it be devastating. Centers bring lines together.

And that's only two of the players missing. We don't have the horses to play a shutdown style of game right now, to try to protect our weakness offensively.

This team has no strengths at all right now.

I forgot to add: Boll would have fixed all of these problems.

We ARE good at injuries!!!

Our bottom 6 isn't our problem though. They're actually doing quite well for who they are. Our problem is our top guys playing slow, weak, and unstructured. Perry peaked in the first game, and then has gotten progressively worse. Eaves is who he is, invisible until he's set up for a shot. Rakell is back to puck-hogging. Silfverberg looks drunk. Props to Cogliano, but he's not the guy to carry a line.

 

[Sojourn]

I said strengths. That isn't a strength.

One of the worst games I've ever seen us play. Hopefully we are getting it out of the way early.
