GDT: Game #29 of the season Capitals visit Ducks 10:00 PM ET on 12 - 6 - 19

[Static]

We have next to zero finishing talent.

 

[AngelDuck]

Del Zotto should not be on the ice

 

[DigiDuck]

This is the most dangerous they’ve been with the empty net all year.

 

[AngelDuck]

We have next to zero finishing talent.

Yep, they need to find a pure goal scorer. It’s too bad Sprong has question marks

 

[dracom]

at least there was some fight at the end

 

[bracer028]

We need an alpha male in this draft

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

That was playoff hockey there tonight. Hell of a game.

 

[Arthuros]

 

[AngelDuck]

Meh

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Hazy and his moral victories stfu man

 

[duckaroosky]

We didn't get scored on with the empty net. That's progress, right?

 

[Static]

We can outplay teams for an entire games, and have, and still need a bounce to win. Find some f***ing goal scorers Bob.

 

[DigiDuck]

Getz is such a treat to watch. It’s sad that people who don’t watch the Ducks think he’s declining because he isn’t putting up PPG numbers anymore. But once he shook off the rust, he’s been a beast more often than not.

 

[AngelDuck]

28 points in 29 games. 15th in the Western Conference

You mean the Montour that's helping Buffalo to a 4-8-3 record with him in the line up? I can say that Guhle is sucking, but can you admit that Monty isn't moving the needle in Buffalo b/c you're using a strawman if no one brings up facts like I'm bringing up. As for Tracey, he's tearing up in the WHL with lesser talent this year and is the main guy on the team. I like that. That bodes well for us b/c we have a lot of prospect forwards that are timid at the NHL level. Will it pan out? No idea.

With the possibility of Manson returning, we can send Guhle down to SD. Extra seasoning for Guhle is all I got for the 22 year old who'll be cheap. As for Monty and the Sabres along with his soon to be high price tag after this season, if Monty doesn't help that team turn around this year, then what do you got?

What does moving the needle have to do with anything? Buffalo as a team is struggling.

As for a strawman how so? I don't care for guhle, id much rather have Montour, and I think tracey could have been had at the 39 spot... tho I do like his potential going forward, hes still 3 years away from playing on the ducks.

too bad he has no other players of his talent to play with

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Vintage Getzlaf game. Legitimately thought he’d win it by himself for awhile

 

[AngelDuck]

The defensemen all suck offensively mostly. And the forwards aren’t great either. Going to be tough all year

 

[KyleJRM]

*shrug*. I’m beginning to suspect it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

How pointless (pun intended) would our forward group be without Getzlaf?

 

[Kalv]

Not much to be ashemed of this game.
Steel and Terry were stripped off the pucks easily at some points. Guhle made made that very bad pass behind the net on the 3d goal that was really bad.

4 th line had a great game again, I want them all resigned. Getz was incredible

Takeaways. Kase hasn’t played his way to not being trade bait anymore. Guhle isn’t ready for nhl action. Officiating continues to tilt the life out of me and the ducks team. And guys like terry who many of you hope and pray become this 20/50 guy isn’t even close to that person yet. He’s weak and he’s scared and it’s tilting to watch( on other hand guy like Comtois is built for the nlh now and plays with a swagger that we need ) hopefully Manson is past few seasons Manson when he comes back( he should also feel like he owes the team more ) and Gibson taking week off better be his old self from now on. Or the season is as good as lost. Edit: love our 4th line and love what guds brings to this team.

Terry and Steel has some but they are easilly stripped off the puck before they can show that finishing skill

Terry has performed pretty damn well the last 5-7 games and has some good production to back it up. What games are you watching?

It’s a process with the young guys. You’d prefer old players that can’t skate?

Montour has over double the points production, a positive +/-, and significantly better advanced stats than Guhle. He’s also 5th on the Sabres in PPG vs Guhle’s 17th.

Those are more important facts as far as winning this year.
