[evomacky]

too much effort in this thread.

 

[duckaroosky]

What is this? A GDT for A students? It has to be at least 5 grades lower!

 

[Nordic*]

So.

Another game where Vatanen and Bieksa get 24+ minutes, for no logical reason, with Lindholm @17 and Manson @15?

Whoever runs the D is a complete idiot.

Yawney?

 

[KelVarnsen]

HEY!

I think we went no effort GDT last game versus the Kings and lost!

Gotta try something new!

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Should have let me make the GDT I am on a roll

Number 1 in GA/G. Must be doing something right.

Actually #7 in GA/G, but also the top PK, also top 3 in shots against, and lowest by a very wide margin since they started using the trap.

 

[Static]

Tonight comes down to who is better in the creases and special teams.

Yeah, I'm going to blame this one on the new NHL app.

 

[ScarTroy]

Need to pot the first one. They are a tough team to come from behind against. I'd let Freddy take this one too, I think he's deserved a chance to get another big game.

Well we will play again tomorrow against Coyotes so it doens't really mater who plays tonight. Both games are equally important.

 

[Arthuros]

Oh boy.

 

[ScarTroy]

I agree both are important. But LA is a much tougher opponent, and it's in their building which makes it even tougher. Gibson can handle AZ, and I feel Freddy should get the net tonight.

Play Freddy tomorrow, everyone knows with Arizona's speed we're going to give up multiple breakaways and odd man rushes.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Yeah, I'm going to blame this one on the new NHL app.

And I'll agree with you

Your point is well taken, regardless.

The system being used is very effective but the usage of Bieksa is questionable at best, Lindholm is far more deserving of ice time than Bieksa is (as is Manson).

[George Binks]

3-2 ducks in extra time

 

[AngelDuck]

4 points before leaving to the east coast would be amazing

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

I agree with the premise that Bieksa is being over utilized, because frankly, he does seem out of his depth at the minutes currently being played. Though I'm not overly certain that Manson would be able to handle those minutes either. However, to attack on the coaching staff and the deployment of Lindholm(They're clearly willing and comfortable to play Lindholm a ton of minutes), seems like a gigantic stretch, considering the results.

 

[ScarTroy]

I hope we get to see the extreme pest side of Garbutt tonight. I don't want him to injure anyone but I hope he can get some of them off their game

Is there a way to adjust for December on?

 

[Duck Off]

Yeah I agree. I've been very disappointed with Garbutt so far. Yeah he's got a few points, but he hasn't been nearly as physical as I thought he'd be. Not much of a pest either. He's better than Sekac for this team, but I don't like that extra year on his deal.
