GDT: Game 3 | Ducks at Stars, 6:30 PDT (8:30 Central!) | Unpublished Skeletal Edition

[gratefulyours]

hope they play better next game. our first period was the only good one.

 

[TesseracT]

Sucks the Ducks sent the message that Dallas can do whatever they want to them without having to pay.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

By telling lehtonen to pitch a shutout? Some of you are such drama queens

Exactly. Leightonen plays a great game but we trot out the old BB getting out coached in the playoffs mantra? Give me a ****ing break.

 

[Exit Dose]

Out shooting the other team and getting out-goalied is coaching? Multiple Ducks missed open nets. That's not coaching, it's execution.

You spent 3/4 of the game complaining about Devo on the top line. He has the say on who is out there. I'll give Lehtonen a strong first, but the team looked rough past that period. He needs to shake it up if the lines aren't working. He hesitated far too long to make those changes.

Koivu is done. Silf is bad and Imo maroon playing poor. Bring the kids Etem, Rakell. Sbisa or Vats or may be both

 

[Bender66]

Can DVM prescribe for humans? Round of lithium for all the mood swings

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

yeah thats all it was, was a goalie standing on his head. did we look dangerous at all this game?

Yes we did. But go on blaming the coach.

 

[mightyquack]

Nothing to worry about for Anaheim yet, losing Robidas sucks, but Fistric should come in and add more of an edge to our team which given how Dallas are playing, is needed.

Don't think BB was outcoached, it seemed to be working quite well considering we carried a large chunk of the play. Sometimes goaltenders just stand on their head. If Saku or Silf scored their chances early on, this game is completely different.

Still the biggest issue with Anaheim is the defensive lapses, just silly and unneeded goals to give up.

I wouldn't say BB was necessarily out coached... But his failure to have his players send a message and stick up for each other is a definitely weak ass.

 

[duckaroosky]

I knew it wasn't going to be a sweep as much as I was hoping... Steal the next game ducks and finish it on home ice.

I feel really sad for Robidas... Intentional or not that was reckless and it infuriates me that it was that classless ****** that was the result of it.

We have Xanax for the dog... I'll pass it out.

Sick of those annoying Dallas fans. Probably not a single IQ over 50 in that crowd. Whatever, knocking that team out this series will just be that much sweeter.

Obviously DSP will not be playing the next game, he was invisible the 2 games he played. So we have the Stars players going after Getzlaf and Perry. Perry gets punched while he's on the ice. Getzlaf gets punched by Daley out of nowhere when he has an injured jaw, and then Daley takes more shots at him later. What have we done to Benn or Seguin? They are trying to punish our star players, it's time to get our hands dirty and go after theirs.

I predicted the Ducks in 5, so I guess this is the one game that the Stars win.

But hey, at least we won the corsi battle right?

Yes I did, but there were more than enough golden opportunities for the team to score. They were out shooting Dallas every single period. Plenty of payers simply didn't show up.

Edit - and technically I've been unhappy with DSP on the top line all 5 periods he's been there. That wasn't the key to a win in game 2 any more than it was the defining reason they lost in game 3.

 

[gratefulyours]

Yes we did. But go on blaming the coach.

wasn't bb fault getz was held to 0 shots. dsp on the first line isn't working, but perry and getz don't need the 3rd guy to be effective, they just didn't get it done.

also wasn't bb fault the D let crap just lay around in the slot to be blasted in by the stars. or that they went fishing leaving guys wide open in slot all game.

How do you know he didn't?

 

[Sojourn]

That's a bummer. Anaheim let players like Roussell and Garbutt be too much of a factor.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

How do you know he didn't?

Because his philosophy is to turn the other cheek.

he shouldn't have to tell them to do that.

maroon and allen went after seguin and ben...wasn't much but it was a message.

Outshooting Dallas, sure, but in the same way that LA tends to out-shoot teams. Those opportunities didn't look so golden to these eyes, but maybe it's just me.

 

[190Octane]

Hope they enjoyed their one win.

 

[IDuck]

Yes we did. But go on blaming the coach.

getzlaf line was not only ineffective but taken off there game and forced into scrums with garbutt and roussell.benn and seguin get to do whatever they want with no fear. our "depth" didnt look very deep. i give dallas FULL credit as they where the better team tonight and deserved the win, but there game plan is very clear and that is to wear down and frustrate getz/perry and it showed in this game. ruff said that is what he wanted them to do and it worked and we had no answer

 

[DaGeneral]

Because his philosophy is to turn the other cheek.

I saw Maroon take a run at Seguin and confront Benn.

He didn't necessarily get his money's worth.. but it was there.

Allen also cross-checked Seguin.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Sucks the Ducks sent the message that Dallas can do whatever they want to them without having to pay.

that's classic boudreau hockey if we had a lethal PP his theory could work, but since we don't.....it fails

I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said.

If Koivu scores 3 minutes into the game, we probably aren't having this conversation.
