Ugh.

This is probably exactly what our goaltenders think about the game as well.

I will be missing this game.. I will drop in here and there.. Hopefully they don't get killed. Vegas might want revenge from last game.

5-3
Ducks

Zegras with the hat trick

 

[HanSolo]

Pretty much as good an opportunity for the Ducks to beat Vegas as they're going to get. Both goalies are hurt, the players played their pre-Christmas game like they were more focused on starting their Christmas break, entirely possible they play tonight like they wish they were still on a break.

Bout to be out of the country so I'll miss it.

Definitely gonna yell at some kids Anakin style after this game

 

[Leonardo87]

Is it Star Wars night at the game tonight? They need to have a TMNT night.

 

[Terry Yake]

this one could get real ugly

Well, Germany beat Finland today, so maybe there's no need to executing order 66.

I've been wanting to see a serious trial of Vaaks with Fowler.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

I couldn't watch the last game - did Drysdale do something that warrants a demotion to the bottom pairing? Or just a chemistry thing?

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Maybe it's load management.

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

I couldn't watch the last game - did Drysdale do something that warrants a demotion to the bottom pairing? Or just a chemistry thing?

It's a deployment thing. Cronin had Drysdale with Fowler on some offensive zone situations last game, especially late.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

No.. Fowler and drysdale never works.. They are just to small. Big teams like vegas would have a fun time with that pair.. We need Gudas back asap.. Not enough bite in our d now.. Vegas is going pound away..

 

[duxfan1101]

I couldn't watch the last game - did Drysdale do something that warrants a demotion to the bottom pairing? Or just a chemistry thing?

He was on the same pairing last game. It’s just because Gudas is hurt and Cronin doesn’t want a Vaak-LaCombe pairing.

Alright, going out a limb here. It's either going to be a close game or blow out

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I'd find a way to put Minty on the PP, acting as F4. Minty loves diving down and creating chaos in front of the net.
