GDT: Duck Trek Mission 9: The Weeping of the Shrew

[WhatTheDuck]

Date I even go on the main board?

Are you asking for someone to go with you?

 

[AngelDuck]

Ricky played less than 7 minutes tonight. That's not good.

This is why I think they need to put Cogliano with Rakell and Sekac. It'd give us 3 really good lines. Cogs can help out the kids (he's really backchecking well)

 

[darkwingduck]

Got kind of buried as the OT goal came right after, but I loved that pass by Andersen to Beleskey for the breakaway, it is the one thing I see our goaltender do that none others really can.

hard to play that 4th line at all unless you doubleshift a RW'er since jackman ain't playing. sekac or etem better be in against dem hawks for jackman

Hey fellas. Just wanted to come say GG to y'all in a place where it (hopefully) won't get spat on by bitter fans of other teams.

Given how this season was expected to go, I have no qualms with the Flames losing to a powerhouse Ducks team. Your team is set to go on a long run and I hope you get to experience all the highs that come with that.

Best of luck the rest of the way!

I feel much better. I'd rather be painted by the main board as the team that doesn't deserve to skate on the same ice with the Blackhawks than the clear favorite. All is right with the world.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Chicago doesn't scare me as a team like they did a few years ago.

 

[bumperkisser]

if we can find a way to contain kane then it might be alright. but if kanes out there against vats/stoner its gonna get ugly

 

[Black Duck]

Ha! Kesler 18-22/82% in faceoffs

 

[Ducks Nation*]

You know damn well the Chicago bandwagon will be in full force at Honda.

Don't worry. We'll just drown them out with our music.

 

[Static]

Yeah, I'd like another line to play too. I'm wondering if Wiz is going to get a shot, Stoner and Vatanen seem to be changing back to pumpkins. Joel Q. is a great coach, he'll see those struggles on tape and gameplan around it.

BB can't be eaten up in matchups that obvious.

 

[David71]

will james wisniewski ever see game action in the playoffs this year? hes a decent offensive dman with a booming shot.

After Stoner-Vatanen's performance over last 3 games I'd say it's a chance.

Biggest issue for Wiz is that you'd probably have to break up Fowler-Despres to accommodate him which wouldn't be ideal as that pairing has been outstanding in playoffs. Unless BB decides to go with Stoner/Vatanen-Wiz. But I'm not sure he'd be too keen to given how terrible it was in the regular season.

 

[Yeaoh]

I always am late to properly woriship the greatness that is C.I.s GDT

Feel like an Ewok in the presence of 3CPO

WE WON

 

[Ando]

What I find pretty funny is, while all the other teams were trying to figure out who was getting in the playoffs, I remember all the Canadian teams were like, "F yeah, 5 Canadian teams, Canada's game!", and now they are all hating on each, in their throats hating each other more than the team that knocked them out, save for Van and Ott. I don't know why but I just think thats funny. Might be all the beers catching up to me

 

[TheGoodShepard]

Calgary fans dissing the Ponda crowd. Classy.

They could have no one but the janitors there and the Pond would still be a Ouija board

 

[Unholy]

Woo good series boys. Did what they were supposed to do and win this series. Rest up and get ready for a real tough one.

 

[David71]

could do fowler vatnanen. beauchemin and wiz. two veterans stablizing pair. 3rd pairing lindholm/stoner?

too late for anything like that.

 

[mightyquack]

Not sure changing all 3 defensive pairings right before a series against one of the best teams in the NHL would be a smart decision.

 

[tfong]

GG Ducks, better team won. Can't wait to see you guys in the finals.

 

[getzforfighting*]

Wis has been practicing on the left side with Holzer during the postseason. If hes ready to go I'd throw him in with Vatanen if Stoner gets burned wide in game 1.

 

[snowave]

Maybe this is better for another topic, but do you guys think Bruce is safe for another year with making it to the Conference Finals?

Personally, I think if he he goes deep in this series (6-7 games) or make it to the Finals, he should be back... but if we lose in 4 or 5 games this round... I'm still not entirely sure???
