Don’t even know why I’m staying up for this. Was hoping for some production from Leo or Mac, but don’t see it happening. There is no sustained offense from this team, not enough shots, and too much one and done in the opponents end.

This broadcast has been meh, but one thing that stood out to me was “It’s not even 50/50 pucks, Wild are all over the Ducks and winning those battles”

Shots are 16-18. Keeping a team under 30 and getting to 20 is a win lately.

Yes, I know what I’ve done.

Well I didn't care for Chris Simon as a player but I appreciate that he was part of the landscape when I was falling in love with hockey as a teenager, so vaya con dios to him.

What's that, 7, 8 former enforcers that have killed themselves? Not worth it.

Condolences to his family, but I still haven't forgotten the Ryan Hollweg play. Missed potentially killing him with the swing of the stick by a couple inches

 

[Mr Rogers]

Same old story as always. Our guys have no room to make plays because of lack of speed and skill.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

This is a very sobering game.

Hence duckaroosky's alcohol bill.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Let's keep it PG 13

It’s a donkey prehension, mastication, and glutition season.

I was outraged at the time, but meh. Hollweg was an asshole. Anyway he's alive and Simon's dead, so it's over.

Same old story as always. Our guys have no room to make plays because of lack of speed and skill.

This is why we need Z back, and two more additional Top 6 players. Pushing guys like Strome down to the 3rd line.

He doesn't speak for me!!!

Even if Cronin's job is safe, Verbeek needs to get rid of the assistant coaches who are in charge of the special teams.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I don’t even mind giving up 3 goals a game. I only ask to score some more F’ing goals and not 1 or 2, or worse, get shut out again. It’s pathetic at this point.

well, to be fair, our average has always been below 3 goals a game, which is the average in the NHL back when I was tracking it halfway through the season, iirc.

the average GF/game is 3.05, based upon Hockey Reference, right now. The Ducks are at 2.50 GF/game (source... scroll down)

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Can Fowlers shots be any more floaty? Lol

 

[Mr Rogers]

Cassie has improved a lot - I don’t mind her doing these games at all

 

[duckaroosky]

Zegras looks like he is having fun at least

"where the hell is the camera? over there by Stecher's wife?"

I cancelled espn+, they don’t show local games so I gave up… I’ve found free ones where you access VPN.

It's being shown here in SoCal. It's something wonky with the streaming and I haven't decided if it's worth restart it.

 

[slippingsloth]

lol. We are 500 when z was playing.

Put that man on the ice in a cast

 

[duckaroosky]

"where the hell is the camera? over there by Stecher's wife?"

I thought we were keeping it PG 13

 

[Rooch]

Let's look at the positive. In what ways are we NOT inept?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Was that fking lacombe. Just gave it up right up the middle?

 

[190Octane]

Let's look at the positive. In what ways are we NOT inept?

helping teams pad their stats

 

[slippingsloth]

So. 50% pk. Helping all our opponents stat sheets

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Let's look at the positive. In what ways are we NOT inept?

our third jerseys (tonight's jerseys) and the Vans collab. ohh... and our drafting.

[Arthuros]

FIRST GOAL MAN IS GETTING SAD.

 

[Rybread86]

Some of the hot takes on this board are almost worse than the quality of the teams play. Yikes
