Holy crap, Forsberg doesn't have a goal yet. The Preds stats are mostly terrible. Didn't realize they were struggling so much.

And credit where it's due, the Ducks are the second-hottest team in the west coming in, 6-2-2 in their last 10. A win tonight would tie us for first in the division.

I just looked at their GDT, there's a lot of anger there.

One guy is asking for someone to please lay Bieksa out. It makes me think that Bieksa is doing some good that I'm not noticing. I could see Perry, Kesler or Garbutt. But for them to single out Bieksa seems like a good thing to me. I'll be watching Kev extra close to see if I can enjoy him taking some liberties I'm not noticing.

 

[Reveille1984]

I can get behind Bieksa being laid out. Maybe an injury lasting oh.... two years or so

I should hate the Preds a lot more than I do. Especially after the two playoff series. But I just don't care about them that much, they still have the expansion stink on them I guess. A little bit annoying and a little bit pathetic.

Obviously, there's Ribeiro, whose continued good health is all the confirmation anyone should need that there is no god (as if Tuesday wasn't enough).

What a masochist.

This should be our goal song from now on:

Ha. KEEROLE struck a nerve against the stats monkeys on the main board.

Which thread?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Calling it pretty tight tonight other than the passed up trip/embellishment combo

 

[Ducks DVM]

Vermette appears to be drunk

 

[Ducks DVM]

Brutal

Nice keep and passes by Sami

All you did was show yet another player who's better than Fowler. And worse than the Wrath, who did it in 20 whole games.

edit: look at Manson clean up Fowler's mistake and carry that pairing. He's so much better than Fowler. If the roles were reversed, Fowler would have accidentally dribbled it on his own net. Shots against are the worst thing ever.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Good shift by the top line with the exception of not finishing

 

[Arthuros]

How we lookin?

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Man Stoner has been good lately.

 

[Ducks DVM]

How do you lose focus on that, Gibson?

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Wasn't it interference against Perry? He didn't have the puck and was locked up.

 

[snarktacular]

Gibson backed up a little much there. I think he made the Forsberg follow up more likely by it.

edit: late goal. crushing.

 

[Ducks DVM]

How we lookin?

Been controlling the play fairly well but haven't capitalized on our chances and we just let them score with 2 seconds left in the period. Manson got outworked and Silfverberg fell asleep.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

They looked halfway to the locker room on the goal. Cant lose focus just because it is only a few seconds left.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Terrible final 30 seconds by the entire team. Looked like they assumed the 0-0 tie was a forgone conclusion. Nashville, on the other hand, continued to work hard and were rewarded.

Other than that 30 seconds, I thought it was a very good period from the Ducks. Clayton Stoner continues to prove he's a good bottom pairing defenseman.
