Is Gibson not playing for sure? he practiced yesterday

 

[ducks8]

Not assuming anything, but I haven't heard of a goalie being called up so that's either Miller is back or Gibson is an option tonight.

 

[Opak]

Stephens/OC Register:

Carlyle said he needed to get a report from the medical staff on Getzlaf to determine if there was a chance of him playing Sunday. The same applies to John Gibson and the possibility of him getting back in net.

Gibson was hurt on a shot he took in the pre-game warm-up skate. It is believed to be in the hand or wrist area, which Carlyle would not confirm. He did not play beyond the first period after absorbing Colorado’s 19-shot barrage but was a full participant in Saturday’s workout.

“It was unfortunate that it happened in warm-up and it was a freak thing,” Carlyle said. “That’s what happens when you’re getting enough pucks directed at you. Usually there’s bumps and bruises somewhere along the line.

...

If Miller doesn’t suit up against the Sabres, it figures he would be ready when the Ducks resume play Friday against Montreal.

“Very close,” Carlyle said. “I have to wait until he says yes.”

I thought Buffalo would be this year's surprise team. Horrible start for them. Now is a golden opportunity for them to get their first win. If Berra starts, they look better than us on every position.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Someone interview Etem before the game please.

 

[ducks8]

Sounds like Johnson could get the start. Need to take advantage if he starts

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

We need at least two of Perry, Rakell, Silf and Ritchie to not suck. We can't win games with Cogs and Wagner as our best forwards.

 

[duckaroosky]

Someone interview Etem before the game please.

To get the injury report on Gibson?

 

[ducks8]

Gibson first on

 

[ScarTroy]

Eaves hurt again? Oh boy.

 

[Exit Dose]

Eaves hurt again? Oh boy.

Are people still psyched about that contract?

 

[ScarTroy]

Are people still psyched about that contract?

To be honest I was excited having him back, but it seems like I was wrong being excited. He is worse than being made of glass.

 

[ducks8]

f*** man, more injuries. Wtf happened to him this time?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Eaves and Getzlaf situations are ridiculous. They obviously weren't 100% yet they let them come back and now both are hurt out again I hope they don't let this continue but I don't trust the decision makers when they allowed what happened to Getz and Kesler last year

 

[pbgoalie]

Mr. Rees talking about NEGU. Jessie Rees Foundation.
An amazing story If you're looking for a charity to support, this one is pretty amazing!

 

[KelVarnsen]

So the team rushes Getzlaf and Eaves back only to have them go out again?

Maybe the medical staff should all be fired?

 

[bsu]

So did Carlyle skate them all to injuries in training camp or are we just old as f***

 

[KelVarnsen]

Ducks seriously have like 1 offensive line tonight. RC will probably try and play 1 line the entire game tonight.

 

[KelVarnsen]

So did Carlyle skate them all to injuries in training camp or are we just old as ****

That’s actually a legit question as there have been complaints about RC training camps in the past. The older guys used to be able to
Handle it in the past but now are just too old to have a coach that skates the into the ground during camp.

 

[Sojourn]

So did Carlyle skate them all to injuries in training camp or are we just old as ****

The only players this would/could apply to are Eaves and Getzlaf.

And Eaves has so many injury issues in his past that it seems unlikely.

 

[navyduck]

Just remember, can't breath on the sabers wrong, or you wind up in the box! Can't even think bad thoughts either, or that could be a misconduct!

 

[Exit Dose]

Gibson scrambling like Hasek. Corey Hasek.

 

[ducks8]

Bad on Gibby

 

[navyduck]

Way to go wingers....way to keep ringing it around the boards to no one on your team
