GDT: Ducks @ Leafs, 7:30 EST

[duxfan1101]

3 headshots on Despres this season... and he's not exactly a guy deserving of one either

 

[Getzmonster]

Good grief, wasn't October enough adversity for one season? Best wishes to Kes, hope everything works out for the best, whatever it is.

With our offense taking a hit, and our transition game being an issue recently, I can't for the life of me understand why Theodore is joining the team just to sit for Holzer/Stoner.

 

[Kalv]

Ok Sharks, you get the home ice

 

[darkwingduck]

May actually be a good thing. With our D-core torn to shreds, may force the forwards to care more about team defense. Seems they got away from it when they started scoring, but a super-trap game is the only chance we have at a cup.

 

[Getzmonster]

Sharks with home ice against us would be advantage Ducks.

 

[George Binks]

This isn't quite going to plan

Is Theo sitting?

 

[ohcomeonref]

Why we're going with Holzer and Stoner instead of Theo is beyond me. Is there any rationale behind this at all?

 

[Terry Yake]

ducks always suck against the leafs

i have a feeling we'll have to keep waiting to see them clinch

 

[dracom]

Why call up Theo, but then not play him? He's already proven he can play in the NHL, so why waste a call up if you're not going to actually play him?

Why does Bruce keep playing Bieksa and Stoner when we have better players then them!? I don't understand you Bruce.

Despres got hit in the head again last game? I think I missed that, can someone quickly fill me in?

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Wtf Theodore is not playing? San Diego is playing well and you take him away to not play him?

****ing idiotic.

Don't worry! Bieksa will be getting the most minutes tonight! Yay for grit and age over actual skill!

 

[duckaroosky]

I get to see live "NHL" hockey tonight! It's been wayyy too long since I've been to a game. Of course after weeks of great weather I get to drive in freezing rain.

Also, going with my Canadian classmate to her first NHL game. That's a weird statement but should be fun.

I'm at this one, rocking a Selanne jersey! Hopefully we take this one.

I'll be in a throwback jersey!

 

[JabbaJabba]

Nylander is going to win this game for the Leafs by himself...

 

[duxfan1101]

It wasn't as obvious as the other ones. He pinched and got hit a bit high. Seemed a bit woozy and went to the bench right away.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Theo called up and not playing?

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Nylander is going to win this game for the Leafs by himself...

If Ritchie paints the wall with Nylander, Cherry will explode. And we will never stop hearing about it forever and ever.

 

[lindholmie]

where does it say theodore isnt playing today?

Maybe this is some kind of emergency call up that doesn't count against the limit?

Maybe by not playing him it stays that way?

I'm just guessing because I'm grasping at straws otherwise.

 

[Exit Dose]

I'm just going to skip this one. I haven't the faintest idea what this team is doing. Sami is out yet we're sitting one of our best PPQBs?

 

[Ducks in a row]

Theo called up and not playing?

Just terrible he should be in the damned lineup

I'm just going to skip this one. I haven't the faintest idea what this team is doing. Sami is out yet we're sitting one of our best PPQBs?

Insanity

Wouldn't be surprised if we lose this game with Kesler and Despres gone and no Theodore in the lineup.

If there's a logical explanation I'd love to hear it because to me it just makes zero sense. I hope Theo is dressed when I'm there on Saturday.
