GDT: Flyers @ Flying Birds 7:30 PM

[Amp30]

Thompson is pretty horrible offensively and holds back whatever wingers are put on his line. Should have just resigned MP22 instead of picking up Thompson.

You know, we could have had both. It's not like it was one or the other.

I don't even like Thompson as a 4C if I'm being honest. I'd rather have a good offensive center than whatever Thompson is doing. MP22 can be used as a solid 3C or a really good 4C.

 

[mightyquack]

Or we could have a solid defensive, hard checking 4th line and a good offensive 3rd line instead, but we have no good offensive 3c currently.

Double team on Matty B

Ducks are 4-0-1 in games in which I attend.

Need to step up your attendance. Im not so lucky with the Ducks, probably about 15 wins and 10 losses. With the Angels though, Im like 50-1. Only game they lost, was 1-0 and they had the bases loaded with nobody out in the 9th too.

I wouldn't give up on Karlsson as being our 3rd line center for the playoffs. He has 1/2 season to develop in Norlfolk, which worked for Getz and Pears in our Stanley Cup year. We will make the playoffs, so we can afford to be patient.

a) Getzlaf and Perry are on another level to Karlsson
b) They didn't play a single game in the minors in the Stanley Cup year.

Yeah, but they've lost a lot more impact players (Horton, Bobrovsky, Anisimov, Murray, Letestu, Jenner, etc.), while most (not all) of our injuries have been to role players.

Yeah - Beauchemin and Perry are the only impact guys we've lost for more than a couple of games. Fowler and Getzlaf missed one each but that's not much in the grand scheme of things.

Santorelli?

If the Leafs are out I would be keen on Santorelli. I think he gets extended there though, he's been great for them.

You know, we could have had both. It's not like it was one or the other.

Yeah exactly. And Thompson is a good 4C, are people really expecting 25+ points out of our 4C every year?

Yeah, that sounds like an Angels game.

Thompson is so superior to MP its not even funny.

Maybe he is goina contribute a couple less points, but playoffs, physical, faceoffs, head to head, defensive ability... Thompson > MP

MP disappeared and got manhandled when he faced any descent opposition.

I agree with that. I remember last year when MP was in trouble in own zone many many many times.

I'm trying I swear. I plan attending a few more games this month. But I am trying, I promise that

 

[Dirk316]

Lol out of nowhere Thompson is the new Allen

 

[Reveille1984]

He played 39 reg season games actually.

True, I'm dumb. Not sure where I got that idea.

 

[93Ducks]

I was at the game last night and for whatever reason could not hear the whistle that took the "offsides" Beleskey goal back. But watching it on TV replay it seemed quite audible. Confused myself and a lot of other people in my section for a minute or two.

 

[gratefulyours]

ok game.

our pp is such ****. we couldn't get out of the neutral zone half the time and word is out, pressure our points, get breakaways for shorty attempts.

glad they showed heart and got back into the game though.

lindholm charging up for center lane drives on the rush, awesome to see.

I thought the PP looked fine after the 1st two PPs, which were terrible. The other 3, I thought the unit looked good. I hope BB keeps that combo together, although I don't like the way he's using Kesler on it.

"okay game" is probably how I would describe it as well. I really, really don't like Bourque on this team. He doesn't provide anything. If he turns it on in the playoffs, it will be worth it, but man, he looks horrible. I think we need another forward for sure though. Either a 3rd line center, or a top 6 winger. Having Bourque here probably makes that harder to obtain.

edit: BB, not Murray...

It was until Perry couldn't drag his own ass across the line quick enough. Perry looked like he had a piano on his back most of the night.

...he's onto us.

We have to eliminate him

He's a defenseman. You think he doesn't know it's just a matter of time anyway?

Mason not Manson.

Yeah. He kind of moved over to the right a bit, too. That further slowed him down. Bugs me when the player with the puck doesn't get across the line first. Hesitating, changing your angle, changing your speed, or making a move before the blue line is going to put someone offside more often than not.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Mason not Manson.

Oops.

Is he blaming the glass for those goals?

Murray is the GM...
