GDT: #3 – Ducks at Sabres – Mon Oct 13, 3:00PM ET – MSG-B, Bell TV – WGR

[NotABadPeriod]

So did RJ retire, or what?

Out indefinitely with throat cancer.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

I don't think the Sabres have produced a real quality scoring chance this entire game.

Reinhart had one in the slot.

 

[SundherDome]

So did RJ retire, or what?

Believe he is still dealing with the throat cancer

 

[Ness]

He's recovering from throat cancer after undergoing radiation treatments. Hopes to be back sometime this season.

Ahh I see. Wish him all the best! I've liked Dunleavy so far as a replacement.

 

[Crazy Tasty]

Out indefinitely with throat cancer.

I'm surprised it's not just listed as a UBI.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

One tank

 

[Arthuros]

Lol Anaheim fans are so mad.

I don't even think the hit was that bad. It was just unfortunate

You'll have to excuse us for being steamed. Gorges took out Maroon, with Palmieri and Heatley already out. Our only option to replace him is...Beleskey. That's pretty much it.

It doesn't help that the angle we get makes it look like Gorges decided halfway that he wanted to hit lower.

Questionable, at best.

 

[joshjull]

Ennis skates horrendous puck support lines

I need a translation of what this means

I'm sitting right on the boards. Questionable at worst.

This team does not sniff playoffs for 3+ years

Looked clean from my end. Seemed like his leg just twisted.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I believe he means the routes in which Ennis takes and protects the puck or helps other players suck

You cannot believe that Gorges purposely "took out" his knee. Purely an unfortunately accident.

Even with McDavid??

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I need a translation of what this means

I'm assuming he means that Ennis doesn't go to the positions where he can support the player with the puck?

The hit was fine. Sucks he got injured and his knee buckled but the hit was perfectly clean

I wouldnt be so sure.

I think you'll see moves this next offseason going forward. Specifically with some prospects we like.

 

[TehDoak]

This team does not sniff playoffs for 3+ years

3 games out of 82 in.


A hell of a whole lot can change in one year.

With our weak division and ample cap space/assets, we could patchwork together a marginally competitive team to get a 3/4 spot in our division and 7/8 seed. Florida did it a few years back.

But that's not the goal. The goal is to move forward towards a championship, not get swept in 1 round.

 

[moomoosoup]

-34 corsi mmm...the tank is strong.

 

[Arthuros]

I meant the angle we got was "Questionable, at best.", not the hit. I'd much prefer a rinkside look at the hit.

I'm of the mind that it WAS an accident. Just explaining why Ducks fans are...less than pleased about Gorges.

This team, in theory, is exponentially better in 3 years, with that said I think it will be good progress if we are a playoff team by 2017, personally I'm expecting 2018 to be the season that destiny shows up

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Ennis how long you gonna back up before you realize that you aren't in a passing position and you should probably go elsewhere?

 

[Beerz]

12 games for Gillies

 

[GX]

Gillies out for 12 games

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

12 games for Gillies

70 too few
