GDT: Ducks vs. Sharks - 7 PT / 10 ET / 4 CET

[Ducks DVM]

a fight, an assist and plus 1 in only 6 mins of ice time!!.... that's ok with me!.. thought he was pretty damn productive in that little time of ice

A pointless fight, and his assist was because he just barely managed to get his stick on a puck to knock it along the boards because he was (as usual) out-hustled and (as usual) outmuscled by a Sharks player that he (as usual) failed to finish a very available check on.

He's not good. There's a reason he only got 6 minutes of ice time.

Still think he's been better than Maroon, who is the only other option at the moment.

Maroon at least finishes checks. It's not his fault he's a complementary player who's been put on a 4th line with players he has zero chemistry with. I'd much rather see him with Thomson than Stewart. Those two hit and cycle, and would be able to set up Santorelli (who can't cycle with Maroon well while Stewart floats around). That would be a great energy line.

Edit - failing that, waive the bum, and bring up Friberg or Noesen who at least hit, try, and play good defense.

Right now, I'd stay with Stewart on that 4th line. Stewart at least can get back into the play on defense. Maroon is slower than a snail, and is completely useless once the Ducks lose possession, which is the majority of the time.

I think by far the better option is Maroon when he is hustling and on his game. However I don't think I have seen that once from him this season. Hopefully he will have a fire lit under his ass next time he's in the lineup.

Maroon or Stewart should be a poll, seems like a lot of disagreeing on here

Trade both for someone that can hit, and can skate, and actually tries.....

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Good game and we didn't stop playing with the one goal lead. A lot can be improved of course, but I'm happy for the good things. If they can keep it up for tonights game I will get some hope back.

There must be some team out there trying to trade their well playing player for 2 underperformers

We had that guy, we lost him on waivers.

Stewart reminds me of US Men's soccer striker Dempsey. He's lazy (relatively to other players on his team), rarely plays defense, but man does he have a nose for the goal!
