Ducks filled with hope as injured players slowly return – Orange County Register

Looks like Silfverberg and Kase are going to be GTD for Anahiem. Henrique is a definite to make his debut. Should be a very interesting game. Ducks just stomped the Blues. Gibson has struggled terribly against us (assuming he gets the start). In 4 career games he has a 3.13 GAA, .871 save percentage. He’s been struggling lately, prone to let in softies.

Bjorkstrand on the 4th line is insane. Beginning to better understand why we are “Two-Goal-Jax.”

Haha the lines were different but I was posting somewhere in the past couple days about playing Nick on the right side but not sure it was a good idea because it would push Bjork down to the 4th line.

 

[EspenK]

Kind of points out the mix issues of our F's. I'd rather see Foligno on the 4th line. When Calvert comes back does Milano get benched? Or does Motte go back to Cleveland?

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Gibson and the short-handed Ducks looked good against the Blues other than a couple of late goals. This is going to be a good test.

Let's Go Jackets!!

If Torts would play Sedlak's line 12-13 minutes I'd be OK with Bjork skating there. It's a TOI thing for me, not a mix. Maybe Bjork gets enough PP minutes for me to be OK with it?

And yes there are some interesting decisions once Calvert is healthy. Let's hope everyone else is also healthy and Torts is forced to make them.

 

[CBJx614]

Doesn't matter how they start, they'll all be mixed up besides the Dubois line by the 2nd period anyway

 

[Byrral]

Paging Old Guy. Paging Old Guy.

Foligno to L3, Bjorkstrand to R2, Milano to L4, Motte to R4. Please Torts?

 

[CBJx614]

My perfect lines would be

Panarin-Wennberg-Bjorkstrand
Foligno-Dubois-Anderson
Jenner-Dubinsky-Atkinson
Milano-Sedlak-Motte


No particular order, roll whoever is hot.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

This game is critical.

(An oldie but a goodie until Old Guy gets here.)

 

[Byrral]

My perfect lines would be

Your lines help Bjorkstrand which I support but Cam is back in a position to create offense by himself. Switch Andy and Cam and I can support this as well.

Dubois and Anderson are like our offensive equivalent of Jones and Werenski, 5v5 you don't split them up.

Atkinson is very good at creating offense for himself, he'd be fine with those two creating havoc

 

[Zarathustra]

My perfect lines would be

Panarin-Wennberg-Bjorkstrand
Foligno-Dubois-Anderson
Jenner-Dubinsky-Atkinson
Milano-Sedlak-Motte


No particular order, roll whoever is hot.

Breaks up our best line and the Jenner - Dubi - Cam line hasn't worked for a quite a while. This is how I would put them.

Panarin - Dubois - Anderson
Foligno - Dubinsky - Atkinson
Jenner - Wennberg - Bjorkstrand
Minalo - Sedlack - Motte

 

[blahblah]

Our team is kind of interesting right now. We're not really playing all that well, however with good goal tending and with our skill we're able to pull out these overtime games. Should be interesting to see where this team goes from here, we're living on the edge nearly every game.

We're better than what we're playing. We have some structural issues right now. We're lucky that the goal tending has been so solid. This won't translate well to the playoffs. We're going to have to figure some things out.

It's nice to see the wins, so I'll just enjoy that for now.

 

[Byrral]

Porty says going with the same lineup as Tuesday. Korpi in net.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Bob hasn't been scoring, it's only fair that he sits.

Next

 

[Hello Johnny]

Let's hope Korpi has some confidence from the successful playing time he's gotten in recent weeks. He's a very important piece to this team's success.

Back to back wins on the big stage would do wonders for that I imagine

 

[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks!

 

[Theo Von]

Savard with an absolute train wreck of a first shift. That was ugly.

 

[MFRONE]

Vermette turned at the last second, that’s not a penalty

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Savard with an absolute train wreck of a first shift. That was ugly.

Less drag without the beard, body control isn't what it used to be

 

[aRussian]

Good PK, need get some energy from that

 

[MFRONE]

How was that hit from behind on Sedlak not a penalty on the Ducks?
