Pre-Game Talk: Ducks @ Leafs, Quack Quack Quack Mr Farnsworth!

[Kamal007]

Jesus I hope this is ****ing sarcasm, in case you missed mikebel's post above


They weren't just ****ing around the entire time

Yes, it was a joke, since those are common occurrences in ball hockey.

That's what I figured since I usually don't see you post stupidity. Apologies

granted, I don't think I have seen him post before.

Who is in net?

 

[StringsAttached]

i'm expecting a high scoring game, judging by how awful our defense and possession game has been. Hopefully we get lucky despite being outshot 30-4.

 

[mikebel111*]

Who is in net?

as randy does, we probably won't know till warm up

 

[Pi]

Who is in net?

Does it matter?

Both our goalies are good but if they are continually get outworked, they will let in soft goals.

40-50 shots on net is going to be a loss unless we get real lucky.

 

[FlareKnight]

Yeah whoever starts really doesn't matter. It's a question of what the rest of the roster does when they get out there.

 

[Asif16*]

Damn since when is getzlaf bald. Sheesh

 

[Igy]

I have a bad feeling about this game. :/ Can't wait to see Clarkson on Friday though.

 

[soulie]

We have stolen their GM, their coach, their star winger, and stud defensive prospect.

Now? Now we steal their souls.

....and Ryan Getzlaf if that's possible.

Thats my job...

 

[crazyaces**]

I'm sorry, I don't know them.

nice!

 

[soulie]

Team needs to dial up the emotion and start crashing n banging out there, if we have another figure skate session things won't end well.

 

[Mr Scarface*]

Been a loong time now. It tends to happen. Genetic things are the key but also it tends to happen if there's a lot of stress and not like getting everything a man or a women wants etc. Grey **** and all.
Hopefully some of our soldiers puts this guy to sleep. He is a very selfish player who wants to get paid. Hockey is not that important to him anymore.

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

Oh ya, it's the Ducks next. Clarkson won't be available until Friday vs the Blue Jackets. I can't wait to see him in a regular season game!

Kulemin & McLaren are both on Long Term Injured Reserve list. My understanding is that they must be off for a minimum of 10 games. If so, they can come back at the same time as Clarkson (Columbus on Friday). Someone will be called up for the Tuesday game with Anaheim.

Save for the game against the Kings, the ducks have been a defensive juggernaut.

13 GA in the other 7 games.

This could be real ugly.

And sit what 4th goal for?

They sit 4th, with the 3rd worst PP, best pray it don't heat up.

Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan aren't Leafs?

You can't have more than one star winger?

Leafs G/F-G/A is very similar to Anaheim's. Their puck possession this year is unreal though, major improvement from last. I still think we're going to get chances and score but our possession will hurt us as usual...

I loved Randy's comments after practice that they're trying to reinforce to move at a quicker pace, team is built on speed and right now, they're not moving fast enough. Thank you Randy, thank you. This team can't even begin to compete if they're not skating.
I would predict a very heated and fast first 10 minutes, then one of our bonehead dmen makes one of their typical bonehead mistakes costing us a goal and the whole team goes back into panic, stand-around mode, and the shelling begins.
Or, they could surprise everybody and put in a 60-minute effort but that's a long shot based on what we've seen so far.

 

[StringsAttached]

Unbelievable. I thought today was Tuesday and tried frantically to find the game only to realize it wasn't on tonight. fml

 

[Kingstonian84*]

anaheim be on a hell of a run right now. gotta play the game of discipline tonight. vatanen, lindholm, fowler, getzlaf, perry, silfverberg, selanne on that pp screams trouble for the leafs in ma opinion, specially with those two hard shootin vatanen and fowler at the points.

Anahiem's PP is 9.6%, its pitifiul given the amount of talent on their team.

 

[Kamal007]

granted, I don't think I have seen him post before.

Really? That sucks

Which would be great if the Forums were owned by Canada but they aren't and as the policy states, all conversation must partake in English due to being an English-speaking community . But alas, it was a little joke and people seemed to have taken it the wrong way.

It's okay! i understood it

Unbelievable. I thought today was Tuesday and tried frantically to find the game only to realize it wasn't on tonight. fml

At this point, I don't put weight on anyone's comments except Lupul's, the only one who comes every night to play. Carlyle can't even get this group motivated to play proper hockey. As a coach, saying "We didn't play good. We need to be better." repeatedly after poor performances doesn't speak highly of you.
