GDT: Game 47: Anaheim Ducks @ Dallas Stars, 5pm PT, BSSC

[la patineuse]

yeah and the ref made sure to call gudas for god knows what too when he did absolutely nothing

Right. His back was turned and Benn hit him from behind and the ref evens up the penalties?????

I thought you were making a fowler joke tbh

I wish I was In my defense, I am also with a flu and in the middle of the night. But yeah, jumped way too quick on the assumptions, lol. I don't even consider myself in the Cam-hate bunch. I missed the first shift of the OT and because of the recent 4on4 thought for some reason that it's the same

Sorry, Cam

I love my Anaheim Ducks but the NHL is a straight Z tier "professional" sports league with this different set of rules for 1 team vs the league darlings. So I'm just here now to root for my team and to enjoy the downfall of the NHL. Which with their complete lack of concern with player safety I'm hoping it'll be sooner rather than later.

Rubbish. nobody was pointing at anything.

Hazy just said that a couple of things went bad on that 2v1:

1. Bad communication between Carlsson and Terry; Carlson stopped skating

2. LaCombe needed to attack the puck carrier.

I'd have to disagree with #2. The free guy was so far ahead that LaCombe was taken out of the play b/c the gap was too large. He let Gibby focus on the puck carrier than the pass. It didn't work. It's a delayed 2v1 with no forward backchecking.

 

[ScarTroy]

That was easily Leo’s worst performance. Other than 2 decent drives at the net he was brutal and slow. He’ll need to bounce back from that.

As leader of the cam hater group, I was going to applaud you for blaming him while he was in the bench. That was next level hating.

But while we are on the hate on fowler train…. Why the hell was he on the bench anyway, he only played 22 mins, that was basically a night off for him…. No reason he should have needed a rest in overtime

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

the team should talk to the league about jordan samuels thomas, he has been an objectively awful and biased ref against us this season. truly should not have a job as an NHL ref.

Dude was an AHL ref for like one season (and by all accounts, not a good one) before he got promoted. It makes me wonder about the development of officials as a whole throughout the league.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Rubbish. nobody was pointing at anything.

Fowler was prob pointing at it on the bench

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Right. His back was turned and Benn hit him from behind and the ref evens up the penalties?????

The funny part about that was on replay you see Vaak complaining to the same ref, "Did you see that trip penalty the Stars did to me just now?" damned refs!

 

[heynowbababooey]

The officiating against us this year is just ridiculous and I dont know what to make of it. I'm always going to gripe about the ticky-tacky calls but I'm reasonable. If it's an obvious penalty that cant be argued, fine! Benn hacked Gudas after his hit on steal and knocked him to the ice, then when Radko jabs back at him, Benn goes high with his stick to the head and they both get sent to the box. Vaks gets tripped, everyone in the building gasped because they all saw it and no call. Leo gets annihilated behind the net and the puck hadnt even reached him and we got no call. During a battle in the corner a stars player falls to the ice and clamps down on Lacombes stick with his free arm not allowing him to make the play, no call. 4 times we should've been on the pp in the 3rd.

I dont think there is a correct way to defend a 2 on 1 from the other teams goal line.

We have way too many forwards who don’t know how or don’t want to play defense.

Carlsson and terry are 2 guys that are seen as solid defensively usually. Not sure if they forgot it was 3 on 3 or something

Veteran leadership ignored yet again

I would agree but I also think it’s something you have to do all the time. One mistake/missed assignment/lazy backcheck and it’s in your net. There’s no forgiveness in the NHL and our young guys have to learn that.

I also was surprised we swapped out Fowler and left our forwards out there.

Carlsson was clearly tired. As stated above, that goal is on Cronin for leaving those two out there. He should have gotten fresh legs on the ice. It doesn't have anything to do with Carlsson and/or Terry being bad at defense.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

This loss got in, I have to say. These games are bleak enough as it is without circumstances like these. Looking forward to the break.

 

[McDonald19]

Probably should have changed the forwards after that 30 second shift to start OT.

 

[MMC]

 

[duckaroosky]

Omg I thought this was going to be to take Vaaks goal away

 

[Henrique Iglesias]

It was both, but more Leo. He thought Terry was going to take the man and he just stopped skating.

The way I saw it was Terry was covering Harley, but then thought Carlsson was taking him. Carlsson thought Terry was staying with his guy so he stopped skating thinking he just had to cover the late guy trailing behind the play. Terry then proceeded to skate back to try and cover the guy who LaCombe already had.

It was just a weird play and defended horribly by the Ducks.

Its blatantly obvious the ref union has spread the word after Cronin undressed that one ref after the no goal video review call earlier in season.

At least that was entertaining to watch.

Leo is so f***ing talented with the puck.
ZellW gives me Vatman vibes. Kid has no fear keeping pucks in and plays like 10x his size

 

[mightyquack]

Amazing that we don't get a single PP that game. I'm not one for conspiracies but as this season especially has gone on the refereeing in our games has got worse and worse everytime Cronin speaks out.

Then again the Samuel-Thomas officiating crew is by far the worse in the NHL so maybe it's just incompetence.
