GDT: Kings vs. Ducks 5PM PT

[The Midnight Burrito]

If they go 2 0 game over

It was over at 1-0. We don't win when we don't score first.

 

[kducks]

Love our second period meltdowns

 

[Bender66]

With the entire team taking a night off, this is all you see? Stoner wouldn't have made any difference this game.

One trick pony. Because what the team that is get beaten to all the loose puck needs is more slow dumb players on the ice.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I don't know what we are talking about now.

Identify for me our quality wins this year? And where we have strung together good play against quality teams?

I didn't say we were bad. I said we weren't very good.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Double digit shots!!! Yeah!!!

I didn't say we were bad. I said we weren't very good.

I don't think that's really fair considering our roster issues.

It's a fruitless exercise to count our "good" wins a fourth of the season in. I don't know what is a good win yet because I don't know who is good.

Clearly a game where over playing Getzlaf and Perry isn't going to help. They are 3 steps behind everyone tonight.

The 3 PP's in the 1st where there was very little effort did this one in.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

xxreact is in ecstasy somewhere at how well the Ducks are playing tonight.

We are 3-5-2 against teams currently in a playoff position. One of those wins is against a Quick-less LA, one was against New Jersey on the first game of a road trip (where they were completely outplayed), and one was against Edmonton, who will all know is a fraud. (I'm counting tonight as a loss). The numbers are similar if you look at teams that were in the playoffs last year.

Again, I'm not saying the team is bad. I'm saying they're not very good, and I don't know what metric you're using to say that they are actually a good team.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Was that actually a trip or was it Brown being Brown?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Great job by Garbutt being Garbutt there. Got away with a pretty blatant crosscheck on Doughty.

 

[duxfan1101]

Vermette has won 18 of 19 draws

 

[AngelDuck]

Lol Cogliano is such a good player

 

[DuckRogers10]

Why can't we elevate the puck when we're on the net? Should of been a goal there.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Where the hell has this team been the last 2 hours?

 

[Arthuros]

Where was this the past 40 minutes?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Why is that not a goal? Early whistle?

 

[IDuck]

silf and rakz are the new twins

 

[AngelDuck]

Swedes!

I don't know why you are determined to critique who is good or bad roght now. I'm not saying they are good or bad, it's too early for that. I don't think it's productive to start counting "good" wins 25% into a season.

 

[Ramenbot]

Randy fired this team up in the intermission.

 

[Chexxum]

I think Rakell's shot goes off Vermette's foot, 2 goal game for him?

EDIT: Just realized 5+ years of laziness has finally paid off and made my avatar relevant again

 

[IDuck]

[Duck Off]

I know I sound like a broken record but Carlyle is a god damn moron for breaking up Fowler-Manson. Fowler-Vatanen has never had much success.

 

[IDuck]

Where was this the past 40 minutes?
