Former Ducks, 2019-20

[Kalv]

I had a feeling those two would become buddys, Boston appears to be Team Czech with a total of 5 Czech's on their roster as well as 2 Slovak's who speak similar language.
If its one thing i know about Czech's is they love their beer, as Europes most beer drinking country in all of europe surpassing even Germany/Austria.
Perhaps Pastarnak and Kase went out for Pilsner Urquels and caught the virus. The pale lager type of beer known as a Pilsner was invented in Plzen, Czech Republic as most modern beers are based on this type of beer making.

Yeah, we have our fair share of beers here, but Czechs are crazy
Who knows what happened but sounds like Bruins management is not too happy.

Interesting to see neither Ritchie (reason unknown) nor Kase (covid) in Boston's exhibition game.

Bruins fan here, realistically couldn't have turned out worse on the Bruins end in these trades so far. With the unique situation and those two missing a lot of practice time, it's at the point where they may not use either even if available. Bruins top prospect (Studnicka) has played 2 NHL games and 1 exhibition game and it looks like he's already locked up the 2nd line RW spot (that we hoped Kase could fill). Really think Heinen's stability/reliability would have been better in the middle 6. Oh well.

any idea what ritchie's deal is? is it covid-related or did he show up to the bubble out of shape?

he didn't look bad in the games he played with the bruins before the stoppage

It's unclear to us. The Kase thing is definitely Covid related (both him and Pastrnak) but no one knows what's going on with Ritchie. I think conditioning is the easy go-to since he's a bigger guy, but I haven't seen confirmation on that. He did skate in the morning yesterday but wasn't in the line-up.

Ritchie looked decent in the games, and he had one big game. Kase really struggled in his games before the break. Tough situation because neither of them built up any chemistry with anyone.

Vatanen has looked ok on the PP for CAR, but he has been a liability at even strength. Wonder how healthy he really is.

Probably just arguing about the best restaurants in OC

did they ever play together? pretty sure maroon was dealt before ritchie ever came up

You are correct. I thought they did.


Still - there are things they could be beefing about.

 

[Paul4587]

They definitely played together, they traded Maroon in Ritchies rookie year. BB kept benching Maroon in favor of Ritchie despite Ritchie clearly not being ready at that point.

i thought for sure ritchie was called up after maroon was dealt

either way, i highly doubt this had anything to do with their ducks days

Anaheim Ducks at Calgary Flames Box Score — February 15, 2016 | Hockey-Reference.com

Here's a box score with both in the lineup. They weren't in the same room for long.

 

[duxfan1101]

Kase back today playing with Krejci and DeBrusk. Ritchie on the 3rd line with Coyle and Bjork. (And Wagner is on the 4th line)

 

[bsu]

Shea is soooo good

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Kase back today playing with Krejci and DeBrusk. Ritchie on the 3rd line with Coyle and Bjork. (And Wagner is on the 4th line)

Kase has not learned. He skated right into a pretty big open ice hit by Orlov. Did not get hit in head which was lucky.

This Finnish hockey travel show met and interviewed Vatanen in February and the episode was released this Friday. Sadly the whole thing is in Finnish without subtitles, but I have to share one thing that related to Anaheim. Vatanen was asked who has been the best defence pair who he has played with in the NHL. Clayton Stoner was his answer. Vatanen explained that they played together for long and they played well together. I don't remember how long they were a pair, maybe two seasons at least before Stoner got injured and Vatanen got traded. Those two were a solid bottom pair for sure.

Ya he got decked pretty hard there. Other than that he looked good. Ritchie, on the other hand, was pretty invisible .

they played together for a full season in 14-15

stoner missed 30 games or so the next season and only played in a handful of games in 16-17

Wagner and Kase has looked good for Boston vs Carolina. Wagner had a great OT chance, but was saved by Mrazek.

Perry with a Power Play goal in todays playoff game against the Flames

 

[DigiDuck]

Corey Perry victimizing the Flames in the playoffs will never get old.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Perry was absolutely disgusting tonight. Stars’ best player aside from Heiskanen.

 

[Kalv]

Perry was -1
Theodore was +4

 

[bsu]

Theodore is playing like Fowler should have developed

 

[Paul4587]

Fowler is still way ahead defensively but yeah it would have been nice if his offensive game developed a lot more than it did.
