GDT: pre-season games - Winning streak does not not end today - 5 PM PT

[The Midnight Burrito]

I know the Ducks have a rep for whininess, but IMO the Sharks and Kings are worse.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Kesler to the showers

 

[Sean Garrity]

Entertaining stuff right now.

 

[dracom]

Is this Ducks hockey now?

 

[Duck Off]

Man whatever Sorensen showed in the other games is completely lacking tonight. He's obviously decent defensively, but looks like a kid who is clearly not ready for the NHL imo.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Kesler has all these AHL plugs pissed off.

Good on Manson for stepping in. Boll better do his job at some point in this game.

Bieksa casually striding across the blue line as the goal is scored.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Pathetic period, considering the quality of opposition.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Boll had best make a showing tonight.

I wonder if we get RPG at some point tonight.

 

[Papaspud]

Kelly with a smart move of goading Kesbae into a fight while there was one already in progress. Sharks lose Kelly for the night...no big deal. We lose Kes for the night...bigger deal.

 

[The Duck Knight]

This PP unit is never going to work. Silf doesn't have the hands in tight spaces to play in the middle of the umbrella. There's also no legitimate shooting threat if Perry is going to be parked in front of the net other than Vats. Getzlaf and Fowler on the walls are useless and they're really susceptible to odd man rushes when they are turning the puck over like they have so far tonight.

Ritchie should be in front of the net playing the Penner role. Right now there are only people off to the side with the center behind the goal line. I hope that's not how they're drawing the plays up.

Kes wanted to leave early so he could watch the debate.

20 mins and I already loathe this roster.

I agree. Ritchie should be up front with the Twins and have Silf/Sorensen with Kesler and Vermette on the 2nd unit. The umbrella needs to go though unless Getzlaf and Fowler become more willing to shoot.

 

[KeepItDeep]

Pathetic period, considering the quality of opposition.

My impression as well.

And Ducks leadership goaded into losing focus. Poor start to this contest.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Should-Be-Captain done for the evening while I was off making coffee, apparently.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Bernier's been good. Gibson can take his time as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Everyone take note - they actually told the truth about Fowler's injury.

 

[dracom]

Bieksa sucks in any offensive situation. Why he's on the PP is beyond me. He kills any kind ooffense when he touches the puck.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I wonder if they've practiced receiving passes at all. Because it doesn't look like it.

 

[Bender66]

Hate for bieksa rekindled after just 30 min of watching. I get the feeling I'm going to be hate watching a lot this year.

Time to break out the eggs!

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Cogs is the only one doing anything.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

They changed the Jack in the Box guy's voice.

 

[dracom]

Ritchie destroyed Dillon. Damn.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Eat it Dillon, you piece of ****.
