GDT: Ducks @ Sens 4pm PST

[KaseMeOutside]

Good news- doing it without 5 regulars

true it would be nice to get our playoff roster in the lineup for a few games here soon although Perron is probably not gonna happen

 

[PrototypeX85]

Good win but I'd rather not win the division. San Jose would be preferable over Nashville, and Chicago can easily end up in that first wild card spot.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Ducks Win !!!!

Just getting Kesler (albeit not hurt) and Vats back will boost this team tremendously though

 

[KaseMeOutside]

did i miss all the fowler sucks posts before he made that play on the 2nd goal?

 

[teemuselanne]

What a turn of events. Was at the game and heard at least 3 people around me ask who 67 was. That was some shot, good for Ricky to get 20 what a player he's become

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I thought McGinn was perhaps our most consistent forward tonight on a shift to shift basis, at least through two periods. Silf had a strong game as well.

Rough night for Manson to say the least. Hopefully whatever he has going on gets sorted out soon.

No surprise, for those that don't watch the Ducks often Rakell is not a headliner. On the ice however, he's probably our most dynamic forward.

The power play looked way better with theodore. Lots of good passing

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Vengeance for Ricky after having his name completely butchered in the pre game announcements haha "Raykill"

Theo has a great pass, doesn't always use it at the right time though.

 

[duxfan1101]

I'm not sure what everyone else's opinion on this is, but the passing has been atrocious. So many overlead passes, so many passes coming in at the wrong speed, even some at the wrong height. It has completely killed momentum so many times, making it super frustrating to watch.

 

[darkwingduck]

Theo and Ritchie have good moments but the playoffs are overall play not just moments. Also Manson needs to be better.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

i sure hope this summer murray can find some suckers for bieksa and stoner, holzer can basically do everything they do at a fraction of the cost

He did suck tonight.

 

[Quack Shot]

So what is kesler out for? Been busy and I saw its for personal reasons and that's it

And then some. He's shown some real nice skill plays with the puck.

I don't mind Stoner so much in limited minutes, I like the physical presence. But 2 minutes is 2 minutes to many for Bieksa when we have guys like Holzer available to play.

I'd say we've been a mediocre to poor passing team for a couple seasons now, and when you add in a bunch of new faces, injuries, grinders filling in for skill players... it's going to get ugly.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I think the passing was great when they iced the same lineup for 2 months. With the injuries and the all the shuffling, nobody knows where anyone is any more. One thing about the frenetic line changes of the last few years was everyone knowing where everyone was to a degree when you played with anyone. Right now, not so much.

They haven't said and I doubt they will.

Bieksa has a NMC, we are not getting rid of him why does everyone keep acting like we can.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Bieksa has a NMC, we are not getting rid of him why does everyone keep acting like we can.

Bieksa's NMC doesn't kick in until July 1st. So Murray at least has a chance to get rid of him if it's looking like NMC have to be protected next year.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

It's never been clearly established that his current NTC is not still effective due to signing the new NMC. But regardless, don't expect Bieksa to be moved even if there is a loophole.

 

[DarthYenik]

I'm still in shock. Amazing come back.

 

[George Binks]

Real treat coming home to that on my dvr haha
