GDT: #9 Ducks @ Stars | 5:30

[anezthes]

3-0? Is this real life?

...


3-4... Yes. Yes it is.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Would it be a stretch to say Wagner could be worse?

Power of positive thought bends reality.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Salty Wits.

I liked the hit. It's what we get when pointz aren't there to yay for.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Stoner has been "fine". Bieksa through nine games has been absolutely terrible.

Stoner has been better than Bieksa last few games. Maybe Bieksa should go hunt a bear or something.

 

[DigitalSea]

I don't miss Bels, but Frankie should have been buried in Ducks gear. That guy gave so much to our franchise.

 

[ADHB]

I feel so bad for Hampus. Made no mistake at any goal and is -3.

So he wasn't the one caught up ice leading to a 2-on-1 for the GWG? Hampus has been great for the most part but saying he made no mistake last night is ridiculous.

That was Bieksa iirc.

Bieksa is the one that blew the 2-on-1 coverage but Lindholm is the one that got caught up ice which allowed it in the first place. You can't let stuff like that happen in a tie game with less than 2 minutes to go.

 

[evomacky]

my bad, Bieksa was the one that didnt mow down roussel. Lindholm was in front of the bench, looked like he just finished contact with a stars player from the video replay because he was stationary.

 

[illpucks]

Still pissed about this game. All the team needed to do was protect the puck and play conservatively to get the game to overtime. And they couldn't even do that. Bunch of flunkies.

They actually were better of taking an intentional penalty. That would be the only way they could keep icing the puck and get away with it.

It's incredible how a GM can make the same mistake twice. Beauch should've never left Anaheim in the first place.

I think the opposite is true. All they needed to do was keep playing to score, while not over committing. Prevent defense is exactly what this team needs to do less of. Dallas, as a team, is far too offensively talented to just play conservatively against. Their defense, on the other hand, is a weakness, and one which Anaheim could, and should, have exploited.

I think you're on to something. **** the first goal of the game thread. We need a first hit of the game thread. Better chance of not getting shut out.

Although just barely.

But seriously, am I the only one who saw fox sports credit Eakin's goal to "Cod Eakin"?

agree 1000000000%...ducks should be playing a run and gun game right now...try to open things up and play with nothing to lose...instead they are FINDING ways to lose games....never a good thing/sign

 

[Sean Garrity]

That's because he's playing in a role that suits him...15 minutes a night. I actually think Stoner could use some more PK time. Same with Holzer, I think both are fine in that role.

I hope I haven't accidentally infected this team with #hcanes disease

Canes have 2 points more than us

Maybe you did but i would like to hope we are more imune to it and will shrug it off soon
