GDT: Game 5: Anaheim Ducks @ San Jose Sharks | 7:30 PM

[Kalv]

Ducks visit red hot Sharks who have yet to loose a game this season. Both teams are also ''good old friends'' and well known to each other.

Projected lineups:

Ducks:

Sharks (taken from their last GDT):

Marleau - Thornton - Pavelski
Clowe - Couture - Havlat
Galardi - Handzus - Wingels
Desjardins - Gomez - Burish

Vlasic - Stuart
Irwin - Boyle

We`ll need to play tough:

​

Notes:
* Lienup taken from practice report
* Video about calling up Etem and Vatanen and sending down Holland and Hendry HERE
* Sharks have played 5 games and scored 23 goals (good for tied 2nd in the league)
* Sharks are tied for 3d in the league in GA (8)
* More than 50% of their goals (12) they have scored on PP
* If you didn`t knew - we suck at PK (dead last in the league with 63,2%)
* We won 5 of 6 games vs Sharks last season

Lets go boys, kill the shark!

Sharks beat Anaheim 3-1 last year. But the Ducks won the other five

Yes.

Thanks for noticing

 

[Corey Perry*]

In the notes, you might want to change "PP" to PK. We're last at PK.

Go Ducks!

Why the hell are they putting beleskey on the top line now. Palms was fine there.

I asked the SAME thing in another thread. Why? Just why?

 

[Ducks DVM]

The game is still tomorrow, right?

 

[Static]

Yes.

Beleskey on the top line

First time I'm every actually mad at Boudreau. Palmieri was one of the guys giving 100% every night. He shouldn't be demoted for giving his all. It sends a bad message.

This isn't a GDT!

Marleau continues his hot streak and puts on in his own net for the 1-0 Ducks win!

Oh and like everyone else ... Beleskey on line 1 I was enjoying Palmieri...

In the future, I'd prefer GDT's not begin until the day of the game. California time.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Im not sold on the sharks yet, theyve looked good but mostly because of their power play. Niemi is an average goalie. Perry has been pretty good at getting under their teams skin, should be a good test for both teams. Ideally we need to stay away from the penalty box, and take advantage of any power plays we may get.

What does it matter?

 

[Nikko*]

What the hell do these coaches see in Beleskey. NOT a top 6 forward on ANY team.

 

[Ramenbot]

Well, it is called a "game day topic."

This. Do you know how disappointed I am right now?

Clowe had a little episode yesterday, 15 PIMS when I turned it off lol ...

I doubt he does that again ... We've taken the 3rd least amount of minors in the league, so that bodes well for us against the top PP

 

[HanSolo]

Just change this to a pre-game discussion thread.

unfortunately im pretty sure weve allowed close to the most powerplay goals

 

[Mr Rogers]

Beleskey on the top line is kind of out of the blue. It's not like we even saw that at any point this year.

 

[Kruddler]

Vatanen

So why pull Etem and Vatanen up only to throw them in the press box? Holland gets a couple minutes and gets sent back.

What's the deal?

Dude, I totally just made that up. -Sirquacksalot
