GDT: Coyotes at Ducks 7pm PST HOCKEY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ducks8]

My body is ready, don't know if my soul...oh, my only expectation for this season is, as long as they are more entertaining than last season. It's a successful year

 

[Magnus the Duck]

I'm up at 4 AM to watch here in Sweden! Then work, then weekend. : )

Kids usually wake up at 6AM, so 5AM should be doable here.

I know it's not a huge thing but something I find fun each season - Is anyone going to run a "Who scores 1st each game" thread? If I didn't have work that requires me to be off the grid every now and then I would do it.

 

[TheStuntman]

For the season, I want to see progress/growth from the young wingers. See some flashes of brilliance and working on being consistent.

 

[ducks8]

Wonder when we get the official lineup for tonight

 

[Makaveli]

Is Gibson good to go?

Probably right before the game as usual, coverage on this team is the absolute worst.

 

[ducks8]

Is Gibson good to go?

I'd assume so. Eakins said he was pulled more as a precaution and he's been practicing every day. And no other goalie has been called up

 

[ducks8]

Apparently the regulars didn't skate this morning.

 

[ducks8]

Gibson is your projected starter for tonight. Shocking to no one

 

[MMC]

What's the best time to get to the orange carpet? Starts at 3:30.

 

[Surfandhockey]

Will be there 433. I may have an extra ticket available if my kid is still not feeling up to it .

Apparently the regulars didn't skate this morning.

More and more teams are making morning skates optional these days. Arizona had 9 guys on the ice, including scratches, this morning according to their beat writer.

Question ends up being, is it the coverage is just poor (like the information is there for the taking and they're just not reporting it in a timely manner), or is Ducks management more closed in terms of providing that information to the media?

 

[branmuffin17]

I'm definitely excited. I was happy to see the preseason games too (which were absolutely more exciting than pretty much all of last year), but glad the official season is underway.

Saw some replays of other games, like the Matthews goal (that feed from Marner), McDavid's threading through the D, Ovechkin's wrister, and just wonder if our team is going to be able to do that kind of stuff. The fancy plays that I see from other teams have been few/far between for our team this past season (Rakell's flip to himself is the only one that comes to mind from last year), so hoping we get both the gritty goals on the doorstep, along with some beautiful and creative plays.

If you want to be close enough to shake hands/get autographs, ASAP. If you want to see them walk in, 3:28

 

[Exit Dose]

Finally.

I was hoping Lundestrom might get a regular season game in to start, but if Steel is good to go, he's easily the one that's earned it.

Meh im sure hell get some looks soon enough... I wont be shocked if he plays 25+ games this year.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I'll be there with glass seats. First time I've sat on the glass since July 1999.

My experience with glass seats haven't been fond. Usually, I've sat behind the glass behind the goalies. It's so difficult to see the whole game, but my female friends so don't mind. ha ha ha So maybe a seat on the sides of the rink will give a better experience. I just like seeing everything develop, but that's just my preference. Club gives a great view. The upper deck, if you can get as close to the ice seats, then they're just as good as the club seats with respect to viewing. I never realized how much more intimate the Pond... err... Honda Center is until I went to watch a few games at Staples center (I have a friend who's a Kings fan). Staples center has true nose bleeds.

Anyhow, rock out! and Go, Ducks, go!

bruh... don't be putting that bad mojo on this team!!! hahahahha

I definitely prefer 300 > 400 > 200 sections. The only way I will sit in the 200's is if its the highest 2 rows.

The best glass seats are on the corner angles, so you can see down the boards in both directions.

NEVER sit behind the player’s bench.

I’m a season ticket holder in section 416 stoked for hockey if anyone wants to meet up and talk hockey let me know

More like the organization doesnt feel the need to tell media everything always.
