GDT: Game #28: Anaheim Ducks @ New York Islanders, 4:30pm PT, BSSC

It's the Islanders though. lol.

But I picked up their goalie in fantasy hockey, and my goalies have been a train wreck this week... or wrecked by a train, half of them are on IR now (sorry, I have Shesterkin on my team too).

Shesty has been brutal. If he was on the Ducks now, he'd be like sub .900 by a lot. Ducks will probably get Quick on Friday.

Dang, was hoping we'd get Shesterkin... at least my fantasy team might get a boost if the Ducks lose.

Lou teams exist to choke the life and fun out of their game.

 

[Ducks]

Thats the question. What exactly is their game? This team needs to start building an identity..

You know... play both ends of the ice. Use their speed to take away time and space out there. Get the crowd into the game. Take the crowd out of the game. Get to those loose pucks. Make the other team pay the price for getting in front of the net. Take away those passing lanes. Go hard into those tough areas. Play the body. Dictate the play. Outwork the other team. Create chances and most of all... get some lucky bounces.

The algorithm does that.

And we're just supposed to trust your algorithm?
You're questioning my algorithm?
Not necessarily. Is your algorithm above questioning?
Not necessarily.

While I would love to see all those things.. This team is not that ... yet..

I mean, obviously they've gotta... you know... obviously do better out there, obviously. They've just gotta slow the game down. Do the things you need to do to win. Leave it all on the ice you know, Give 110% out there. When the other team shows up to play, you gotta step up your game. But you know this team has tremendous upside so they just gotta believe in the guy next to them. They've gotta want it more than the other team. It just means so much to this team, this franchise, these fans. Can't take it for granted out there.

I'd really like to see all 4 lines out there banging bodies... getting pucks out and getting pucks deep... keeping it simple and doing the little things right... keep working hard and staying out of the box.. getting pucks on the net and try to uhh win some hockey games.

For sure, yeah. There's no easy games in this league. You can't take a night off out there. You just gotta go out there and play [insert team here] hockey. Next question... you in the back.

The breaking news is that there is no breaking news

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Sickkkkk * turns off tv*

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Okay @Leonardo87 you made the right choice not going

 

[Static]

Oh none of them

 

[Ducks]

Having Brett Leason in our top 6 feels worse than Derek Grant as our 1C... but I'm not sure why.

 

[ducks8]

My excitement for this game just went to almost 0

 

[McDonald19]

Well, at least Ross gets to play against his old team.

 

[Leonardo87]

Okay @Leonardo87 you made the right choice not going

My luck dude, Leo will be scratched Friday. lol.
