This one could be interesting. I assume Deslauriers will be in the lineup.

 

[Paul4587]

Carlson has double the amount of points as our top forward haha. He’s been on an absolute heater the past two games.

is anyone else surprised how good the Caps are this year? I knew they would be good but 21-4 is ridiculous in this parity induced league.

Vrana is starting to come into his own. Wilson is such a valuable ''role player''. And obviously Carlson is an absolute madman this year. Plus they have a quite well rounded lineup.
Carlson will slow down at some point though.

PS
Carlson is +21
Ovi is -3

 

[Leonardo87]

Wish their 1st game back after 3 days off, wasn’t against the Caps. Staying out of the box against this team is an understatement.

 

[quackquackquack]

Feel like the boys get it done tonight. There's tons of motivation and they will be well rested. Big game from Getz incoming...

 

[la patineuse]

This season's schedule is weird. The Ducks have so many multi-year breaks on the front-end of the season.

Anyways, 5-2 Caps.

This is more about Guber than Deslauriers. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing ND go with Wilson, although not sure ND is interested in going with him as last game he (ND) skated away after getting hit by Wilson. That being said, they went last season and ND won.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Will be a tough and nasty game. Ducks will actually come out strong tonight but ultimately will lose IMO

He'll slow down but he had 70 points last year too. His PPG has risen the last 3 years in a row now. Him finishing at a point per game seems very reasonable to me.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

In an OC article out today, they stated Eakins said that Manson wouldn't play this Friday, but would follow the team on their two-game trip this weekend.

 

[duckaroosky]

Hopefully for the sake of the children all bodily fluids are kept in their respective bodies tonight

 

[bumperkisser]

not pretttty

 

[DigiDuck]

Why am I not surprised.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Ducks look like cockroaches fleeing a can of Raid.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

God, the talent gap between the forwards on these two teams is SOOO evident

 

[dracom]

do they always have to show that Ovi hat trick game from years ago whenever we play the Caps?

 

[robbieboy3686]

Troy terry is weak, scared and lemons. Reminds me of the current version of Fowler except terry never does crap

 

[bumperkisser]

losing ritchie will be a big blow imo

 

[bsu]

Troy terry is weak, scared and lemons. Reminds me of the current version of Fowler except terry never does crap

Except he's one of the only forwards that goes to the net

 

[duckaroosky]

Ritchie, please be ok.

 

[duxfan1101]

Not a dirty hit, but I hope this motivates us to actually throw our weight around a bit.

 

[Ducks DVM]

That’s a 5 minute interference call.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Ritchie, please be ok.

That’s another MCL injury.

 

[DigiDuck]

Well, crap. Hit was more unfortunate than bad. Be ok Nick
