GDT: Preds vs Ducks: Ducks can't fly during a full moon edition

[Armourboy]

I hate Anaheim, if they are the reason Joey is hurt again

Still haven't figured out what the Anaheim player was so ticked at Fiala for, if you can't hold onto your stick it ain't his fault

 

[PredsV82]

he slammed his helmet going to locker room. i take that as a bad sign. as a professional athlete, Joey probably knows something isn't right and is frustrated cause he is just now getting back to where he was before his last injury. let's hope it's minor.

The "good" explanation for Joey being so mad is that a spotter flagged him for a possible concussion and he was forced to go out of the game and he was mad because he felt he wasn't concussed (which will only be good if he really wasn't concussed)

very good point. i like this much better.

 

[Legionnaire11]

But if he wasn't concussed, he should have returned to the game at some point. So he either has a concussion or some other injury.

All I can say is, even if Joey only missed a couple of games, this makes the Turris trade huge now.

I'd keep the Turris line together too, and slide Sissons up with Forsberg and Arvy.

Fiala - Turris - Smith
Forsberg - Sissons - Arvidsson
Watson - Bonino - Jarnkrok
Aberg - Gaudreau - Salomaki

Personally, I want to see Bonino with better linemates. He's deserved it.

FU Anaheim!

I know the jersey belongs to the team technically but if I was a player I would never part with the OT game winner Jersey. If I was Smithson I’d want to be buried in that since it was the highlight of his career.

If he were to ever want it I'm sure we could come to a reasonable arrangement. With the number of YEARS it sat in the inventory of the vendor that sells gamers and its price below that of a customized replica in the pro shop it isn't as though he didn't have the opportunity to get it.

 

[Soundgarden]

Nice to see us get the win, there were times late in the second and most of the third that I felt we did not deserve to win, but we pulled it off. Thank god for the PP. Hope Johansen's alright.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Personally, I want to see Bonino with better linemates. He's deserved it.

I'd definitely be okay with Bonino going up, he's the logical first choice. But I think he and Jarnkrok have worked well together on the third line and I'd be concerned about killing the effectiveness of that line because Bonino's work around and behind the net is something that really makes it go. Whereas I think Forsberg and Arvidsson would still be able to drive a line with Sissons in the middle.

But I wouldn't object to Bonino between them either. I'd just hate to see the Turris line broken up.

If Ducks players weren't so stupid then they may have a better record.

They put themselves in holes.

 

[FilthyScoresberg]

Man some people on the Ducks board are just salty. They are convinced that the game was lost due to a dive.

 

[bdub24]

That moron Ritchie has got to catch a couple of games off for that intent to injure attack after the Fiala goal right? He could've broken the kids neck for f***s sakes

 

[Marty Party]

They got a PP out of this one. Perry going for the puck there.

I missed it during the game. Only saw PK's reaction.

 

[Preds Partisan]

I must be thinking of the same PK reaction as that photo. Good find.

 

[hockey diva]

The sad part is that the quacks have some talent. Why they have to resort to goon tactics has always mystified me.

Screw em. They whined all through the playoff series last year. They are cheap ass thugs and I hope they miss the playoffs so we don't have to put up with that crap again.

I tried being nice and reasoning with them but what can you do? Boards I shouldn’t visit include but are not limited to: Blackhawks and Ducks. Lol. I just hate when people talk so much shit about us. Acting like we don’t know hockey and stuff. They’re mad because I won’t say that Forsberg dove, when in reality he just sold a hit. To me there’s a difference but I’m open to scrutiny here.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Well, their team is named after a Disney movie in which the lines "Take the dive, act hurt, be indignant" are chanted, so they probably shouldn't be so quick to mount the high horse.

 

[PredsV82]

Finally got a chance to peruse the Ducks GDT.some delicious salty tears there...
