GDT: B @ D 7pm

[ChaseANA]

does chaseANA hate fowler? jw lol

anyway, depres really looking good with fowler. Hopefully BB notices and keeps them together

No I like Cam. What makes you think I don't?

 

[Nordic*]

Getzlaf had a good night, so did Perry. McGinn didn't do much aside from partially screening on the first goal.

Rocky's line was okay, but I'd rather put Pirri with the twins and McGinn there, to fill the position of a tank.

Kesler, Silfver and Cogs all looked good. Hard as heck to play against them, they usually hem you in your own zone most of the shift anyway.

Lindholm best defenceman, saved two (almost) sure goals, scored a goal, one assist and +3.


Still only had the second least amount of icetime among D-men. Only Stoner had less.

Whoever is coaching the defence (Yawney) makes a lot of weird decisions.

I agree with this.

Also think Pirri is good on the PP.

Getzlaf-Perry-Perron-Pirri-Vatanen (when healthy) is a solid unit.

 

[Teemu Salami]

It'll always be a tough choice, but I think it's Freddie's net in game 1.

 

[kducks]

McGinn was excited to play with the twins

 

[dracom]

I agree with this.

Also think Pirri is good on the PP.

Getzlaf-Perry-Perron-Pirri-Vatanen (when healthy) is a solid unit.

Pirri does have a really good one timer. Something we've never really had.

 

[gilfaizon]

Was thinking this while I watched tonights game, its his spot to lose IMO. His play of late will make it tough for Bruce to think otherwise.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Pirri does have a really good one timer. Something we've never really had.

Also a left handed shot, which adds a different dynamic to the PP.

 

[salsa man]

Pirri does have a really good one timer. Something we've never really had.

Visnovsky?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Visnovsky?

Also Pronger, Souray, Selanne

 

[KelVarnsen]

Pirri does have a really good one timer. Something we've never really had.

There was this guy named Selanne who had an ok one timer. More of a PP specialist but still a pretty good shot.

meant with this core, but yeah.

 

[AngelDuck]

That was Perry's best game in a while

Playoff lineup looking like it could be:

McGinn-Getzlaf-Perry
Cogliano-Kesler-Silfverberg
Perron-Rakell-Pirri
Garbutt-Horcoff-Stewart

Lindholm-Manson
Fowler-Despres
Vatanen-Bieksa


That's a deep lineup

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Damn it's crazy we still have vatanen Stewart and Thompson out

 

[AngelDuck]

Damn it's crazy we still have vatanen Stewart and Thompson out

I don't see a spot for Thompson when everyone is healthy. He's been very bad this year, and Horcoff has outplayed him. Thompson has 3 assists, 0 goals and 30 shots on goal in 39 games this year. That's horrendous. Horcoff has a very respectable 6 goals, 11 points, 65 shots on goal in 47 games

Stewart deserves to get back into the lineup

 

[Getzmonster]

Good game all around, Andersen was lights out. I liked the lines, the three line thing with the twins being split will have its place, but it's good to have a solid lineup where they are together as well. And it's about damn time that Bieksa settled in on the 3rd pairing, hopefully Bruce sees the light and keeps him there.

Also, glad Matt Bels is okay.

On to our tour of Canada!

 

[Markus078]

Still like Freddy more than Gibson.

Yeah, me too. Tough decision to make. Both can be excellent but with Freddy the defense seems to have more confidence.

He's paired with a rookie and he took a penalty.

 

[Nordic*]

He's paired with a rookie and he took a penalty.

Manson is easily better than both Stoner and Bieksa.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Manson is easily better than both Stoner and Bieksa.

Manson was making repeated poor plays and unforced errors in the third period tonight.

 

[Miss Rakell]

Why couldn't they play this good when I go to a game?!?

 

[George Binks]

Why couldn't they play this good when I go to a game?!?

We're bad luck

 

[George Binks]

Hopefully it's better in Colorado

 

[Ducks DVM]

I don't see a spot for Thompson when everyone is healthy. He's been very bad this year, and Horcoff has outplayed him. Thompson has 3 assists, 0 goals and 30 shots on goal in 39 games this year. That's horrendous. Horcoff has a very respectable 6 goals, 11 points, 65 shots on goal in 47 games

Stewart deserves to get back into the lineup

The team's fortunes didn't turn around until Thompson came back into the lineup. Unless Stewart is with Perron and Getzlaf, I'll take what Thompson brings over what Stewart brings on the 4th line. Garbutt Horcoff Thompson is a second shutdown line. Garbutt Horcoff Stewart is not.

 

[Jack Bauer DAMNIT]

From what I did see, the team executed much better tonight than the last couple games. Thanks to Freddy. He looked like a freakin robot out there. Defense played well, minus Despres looking like Bambi a couple times, they did their job and jumped into the rush when they had chances. Back to the defensive roots of all star break defensive zen.

Props to BB for spewing up the lines a bit, who knows what we will need when push comes to shove. The new 1-2 lines sparkled at times. Kesler line is finding its bread and butter, fire it on net and banger home.

Manson Lindholm Fowler are crazy good when they're good.

Stoner hunted a Chara bear.

What an exciting game.
