GDT: Ducks @ Red Wings - 430pm PT - Most Important Game of the Season #58

[Dryish]

I should go back and watch every game we've played this season just to determine how many games Bieksa has directly cost us. I honestly bet it's nearing at least 15 at this point.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

I imagine RC puts bieska back out on the ice instantly

Of course he did.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Is there any way management plans to resolve the Bieksa issue this year?

Nope cause the coach says "everyone makes mistakes, hes not the only 1"
and BM thinks he owes kev something, honestly if were holding on to kev to keep kesler happy at this point id say get rid of both.

 

[Bender66]

Same old story. Execution level of a blind 5 year old trying to jam Legos together haphazardly.

I honestly don't know what this team does during practice. Because no team that has practices worth a damn has this shitty level of execution on the most basic elements of hockey night after night.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Its just mindboggling how he hasn't even gotten healthy scratched this year I don't think?

 

[bsu]

I'm almost to the point where I want them to miss the playoffs if there's going to be no accountability for bieksa. If you want realize he sucks we don't belong in the playoffs. f*** Carlyle.

 

[la patineuse]

Of course Silfverberg has a wide open net and can't score and then the Ducks play like crap in their own zone and Bieksa makes a bone headed play to let the other team score. This is the Ducks the whole season in a nutshell.

 

[KelVarnsen]

RC will probably try and pull Coppingers throat out if he dares ask about Casual Kev’s Costly turnover again. Might be must see TV!!!

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

The worst part is this was our 20 mins that we play what id call "acceptable hockey", now well just sit around playing chase for the next 40

 

[la patineuse]

Screw Murray. Screw Carlyle. Screw Bieksa.

 

[Deuce22]

Nope cause the coach says "everyone makes mistakes, hes not the only 1"

If Kesler was Crosby it still wouldn't be worth carrying Bieksa in our top 4. And I love Kesler.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Cogliano with his 2nd drawn penalty... time for the fowler shooting extravaganza

 

[Getzmonster]

"Statement game" against a sub-500 team:

Early penalty. Fowler f's up the PP. Silfver can't hit an empty net. Manson brain fart. Bieksa brain dead.

1-0 Wings. (Is it next season yet?)

 

[duxfever]

Are we ever going to put Lindholm on the first PP?

 

[Bender66]

Someone teach these useless hacks how to hit a one timer

 

[ZzZz]

Of course Silfverberg has a wide open net and can't score and then the Ducks play like crap in their own zone and Bieksa makes a bone headed play to let the other team score. This is the Ducks the whole season in a nutshell.

Even worse was Perry still had it after Silfverberg hit the post too, but the Red Wings were saved by an early whistle.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

this power play is just ugly... no movement just pass back and fourth by defense.
Don't even attempt to force the issue down low, that's like peewee level stuff.... bring the puck down low to bring the point coverage down deeper to open up better passing/shooting options and more traffic in front of the net.

 

[Deuce22]

Second PP moved it better than first.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

How many times does this have to happen before the management and coaching staff fix the Bieksa problem? these people are f***ing blind

 

[Magnus the Duck]

A bad PP vs a bad PK. A bad PK won.

The NHL is a business. If Bob supported Bruce’s ice time reduction for Selanne I think unfortunately he is going to let this Bieksa situation continue with Randy. I love Bob in regards to contracts and being a steady hand as a GM but he needs to step in when things go this way. This team is suffering with Bieksa and Beauch in the lineup and imo we have a couple of guys in the AHL that should be given a chance. Beauch as a #6 isn’t bad either I just feel like our D Core could be improved.

 

[Static]

There is so little creativity. I mean, it's the umbrella point and the LW passing pack and forth.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Bieksa is a moron but this team should still be winning this game. The lack of finish on this team (which I know has been brought up by everyone) is unreal.

Oh definitely, if were going to stay pat at the deadline id hope wed at least try to sell bieska/vermette and let some young guys get looks to end the season.... and if we accidently make the playoffs oh well.

Do you guys think Silfverberg is playing his way out of Anaheim?
