Bones does seem like he has the Getzlaf hair gene, Pete better keep a close eye on his gatorade bottles

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Wasnt the best game of the season, altho i wasnt expecting it after that road trip, i thought we might come out a lil slow .I thought hiller played amazing(and im glad, im still on the hiller train).

Getz has been a monster all year and was prob the best player on the ice other than hiller, perry looks like hes ready to get hot.

So far after 2 games i think i like having maroon/holland up more than etem/dsp/rakell... Maroon does well as a 4th liner, and holland is only going to get better with confidence.

 

[NEWFowler]

Does Maroon remind anybody else of Dustin Penner?

 

[McDonald19]

Does Maroon remind anybody else of Dustin Penner?

Yes, but hopefully the less lazy version with a mean streak. I like that he is starting to throw his weight around.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Does Maroon remind anybody else of Dustin Penner?

I don't know if it's just me, but I think Penner is a better skater. Though not by a whole lot.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The Three Norfolks seem comfortable together.

NHL changed their cover photo to this:

This is the 2nd time this season i can recall we are on their cover photo. The first was Fasth and he was there pretty damn long.

Nice to see. They`re making it up for not giving Stoll suspension

BTW did you saw latest Dedication video with Souray? Pretty nice one:

Frankie's face is hilarious... he looks so happy.

Yeah, I can see that. Maroon is really really slow But his board play down low has definitely impressed me, and from what I'm hearing, he isn't afraid to fight a throw his body around.

We should try him with Getzlaf and Perry. He could really compliment their cycle game.

We've already played 5 wingers on that line already this season I believe (Palmieri, Ryan, Etem, Beleskey, Winnik) and no one has stuck, and I don't expect this to be the time that Beleskey does. I think Maroon will get a shot at some point or another.

 

[DuckTech]

I am actually rather pleased with the way the young 4th line plays together, they've played together on and off for a while between the AHL and now the NHL. I wouldn't move Maroon just yet. I am okay with Beleskey on the top line, I am okay with our 3rd line, and as I said I am okay with the 4th line. I just wonder how the 2nd line would look with Bobby at center and Bonino on the left wing.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Frankie's face is hilarious... he looks so happy.

I thought he looked like somebody just stepped on his foot. Ouch!

 

[Kalv]

Gotta be Bobby

 

[duckaroosky]

I thought he looked like somebody just stepped on his foot. Ouch!

I saw it more as a "dog with his head out the window" happy look... but I could see what you're saying

Gotta be Bobby

OH SNAP!!!

 

[Ducksgo*]

Yah he loves it here. I wonder if he inspires our players and boosts morale in the dressing room ike Marchant did back in 07 during our cup run. Franky just seems to motivate our guys for some reason. What an excellent player.

 

[Ducksforcup]

Maroon does look a heck of a lot like Penner (both look wise and play wise). It is kind of scary actually lol.

How about a happy dog who just had his paw stepped on?

 

[Duck Fan]

Bill Mosienko had 3 goals himself in 21 seconds. That's just silly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NHL_records_(individual)

I remember that game. It's been a long time ago (I think maybe 50 years or so) and I watched it on television. (3 goals in 21 seconds-a record that will live in imfamy)Since I was living in New York at the time I believe the game was against the Rangers and he almost scored on the next faceoff.

If anyone has any insight on my recollection, please post it.

 

[caliamad]

i really cringed every time bonino selanne and winnik were out there. I hated that line and how bruce never puts them together again. Just seem like the spare parts line and everyone struggled.

I didn't much care for the Koivu/Ryan line either. Cogs was hustling as usual but overall seemed ineffective.

I really liked Holland, Palmieri, and Maroon. Maroon especially. He draw so much attention in the offensive zone.

As tempting as it is to throw him Getzlaf and Perry, I think I prefer 4 balanced lines and think we should give that line more ice time than putting belesky on it and taking it away.

Felt that was the best Getzlaf/Perry looked all season.

I can't believe how far Allen's game has come. I mean he's looked like a 3.5 million defenseman. Lovejoy has been pretty damn good too.

Sbisa still seems like the guy that is struggling the most to me as well... he played better but I'd really hesitate pulling Lovejoy over him.

I actually thought Hiller had very bad rebound control.. far worse that Fasth, but battled extremely hard. You could tell he wanted that game... probably owes Beach a steak dinner.

Tough night, they need some rest and hopefully can continue this amazing streak.

/Begin Dream lineup

1) Resign Getzlaf/Perry ASAP for $7.5 mil / season
2) Trade Sbisa and either Bonino or Holland for Oreilly at a decent contract (like 3.5 / season). Ice this lineup:

Belesky Getzlaf Perry
Ryan Oreilly Selanne
Cogs Koivu Winnik
Maroon Holland/Bonino Palmieri

Extra: Staubitz, DSP/Etem

Beauch Souray
Allen Fowler
Lydman Sbisa/Lovejoy

Extra: Sbisa/Lovejoy, Vaatanen/Lindholm

/End Dream lineup

 

[Fasthnator]

Belesky Getzlaf Perry
Ryan Oreilly Selanne
Cogs Koivu Winnik
Maroon Holland/Bonino Palmieri


/End Dream lineup

Has to be

Ryan Koivu Selanne

 

[Sojourn]

Has to be

Ryan Koivu Selanne

Because...?

 

[Fasthnator]

Because...?

BB played that line a few games back for a while, they were awesome.

i think it was against the blues

 

[gratefulyours]

Frankie's face is hilarious... he looks so happy.

frankie looks like he is doing whatever it is that is making getzlaf go to his o face.

 

[Sojourn]

BB played that line a few games back for a while, they were awesome.

They had better be, if Boudreau is going to break up the Cogs-Koivu-Winnik line.

 

[bumperkisser]

Agreed. I hope we never ever see that winnik bonino selanne line again
