2on1 efficiency about right for this season

 

[Ducks DVM]

I do like that they’ve finally put Terry with a center who can actually play top 6 center.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Strome had a steal in the neutral zone, that created a 2v1 situation. He zipped a cross-ice pass to Vatrano through a Blues defender, but it was a little to hot for Vatrano to field for a one-time shot.

Top line seems ok tonight

 

[Ducks DVM]

Also there are just unwilling to do the dirty work. If you dump it, throw some hits and make them uncomfortable, that can lead to turnovers. These guys dump and slash.

On the rare occasion someone actually gets in there, the other two also never properly support them.

 

[slippingsloth]

How many penalties will we commit ? Over under is 9 at this pace. Lol

 

[dracom]

i cant' stand when players get high sticked have to fall to the ice with such dramatic fashion.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

THat was a terrible clear by LaCombe at the start of the PK. Ducks didn't give LaCombe any outlets either.

 

[duckaroosky]

Cam getting put through the ringer today. Doesn't have the luck of the Irish

 

[KelVarnsen]

Killorn looked mad there he didn’t get a call when he was held

 

[duckaroosky]

Well, I've seen worse periods from the Ducks so I guess that's a win

 

[TheStuntman]

SOG isn't too terrible with the Ducks killing 3 penalties in the 1st period.

 

[slippingsloth]

Lol. We have been shorthanded 97 more times than st louis this season. Lol

 

[Mr Rogers]

Killorn looked mad there he didn’t get a call when he was held

Should’ve been a penalty

 

[Boo Boo]

Really no excuse to be down vs us

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Good opening period. 3/3 on the PK, survived the last PK. The last minute of the first seemed to have awakened the Blues. Good thing it's intermission now and maybe it'll cool down the Blues from waking up even more.

Lol it looked like the blues guy let go of his stick and killorn ended up with it and tossed it in the refs vicinity

At least on blues feed

 

[KelVarnsen]

For sure and that’s the crappy thing about the refs and Ducks. They call a lot of things against the Ducks but don’t give the Ducks the same calls.

Im really curious to see what happens with Jones this offseason. That was an exceptionally dumb play at the end there, I knew he’d cough it up when he started to do it all himself with 2 forecheckers right on him and he did. Very lucky it didn’t cost them at the end.

 

[DuckRogers10]

Jones sucks. Terry gets dinged up at the end of the period because Jones turns the puck over. No skill at all.

Non-tendered. He’s a survivor: outplayed Comtois last year and has been very lucky none of the young wingers in the system have emerged

The telecast said that Jones lost 7 lbs while being bedridden for three days. It's his first game back. Guess his mind is working faster than his body. Sucks he got poached.

No idea what happens with Jones. Probably non-tender him.

Those are the type of plays he makes when he’s perfectly healthy tho as well. Jones’ mind is actually much slower than his body, that’s why he’s not very good

Exactly. When they do this I'm thinking where are the other Ducks? They can't always be making line changes.

Also, please stop with the penalties. You guys are playing with fire; it's only a matter of time before the Blues will end up scoring.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Zelly, gotta finish that my dude
