GDT: Game 6: 10/24 - Anaheim Ducks @ Columbus Blue Jackets - 5:30 PT, BSSC (updated start time)

[Reveille1984]

You knew Terry wasn't going to net that breakaway as soon as it started lol. Good thing Frank came through

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Nice play by Ross for his first point as a Duck in the third!

LMAO I post like a schizo in these threads, I completely forgot I even mentioned it. Good for RJ

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I think we should match
Carlsson - zegras
Mctavish - terry

No. I've seen Mac-Terry last year and no. Terry has been a puck hogging, hero puck on offense. Keep Terry away from Mac.

Then what do you do with terry

 

[Deuce22]

O god no. Unless u mean benching zegras. Because i want that game shot out of the blue hackets cannon. Give me the ducks from the stars or boston or carolina game. Thats what i want

I meant that no one is above the team.

 

[Quack Shot]

Then what do you do with terry

You tell him to pass

 

[AngelDuck]

Henrique-Carlsson-Terry
Killorn-Zegras-X
Vatrano-McTavish-Strome

Would like to see it tried.

We need right wingers Verbeek!

 

[slippingsloth]

1/6 chimpanzees. Feels about right. But that Vatrano bazooka makes it feel sorta alright.

But somehow we got the win.


i hope minty stays this good. He looks like a top 10d in the league…. Heiskanen makar fox sorta potential. I know it is too early but i dont think i have ever been this amped by a rookie ducks d man.

Frankie said I did it my way, he is earning that contract. Strome too.

Z and Terry. Not so much.

 

[Static]

Can't wait for the Cronin presser. Will probably be better than the game

 

[Mr Rogers]

Terry will be fine with Carlsson

 

[Rybread86]

I wanna hear from Cronin

Is it too late to get zellweger playing wing

 

[AngelDuck]

Vatrano and McTavish have scored half of our goals this season and it honestly feels like more

 

[slippingsloth]

Mct/strome/frank And the 4th line are carrying. Mct has been a bit bipolar mainly due to penalties some games.

I am also coming to the conclusion that leason is a good depth player.

[CrazyDuck4u]

Terry will be fine with Carlsson

When They decide to play him. Lol

 

[Leonardo87]

We have good things going on and have issues. Defense has been solid. Goaltending been solid, 2nd line has been solid. Really concerned about Zegras and Terry now. Z went from having one of his best games to his worst. We won tonight, not gonna lie threw my iPad across the Room when Fantilli scored, but thank Goodness for Vatrano. HM to Strome and Vatrano.

We need Z, Terry, and Rico to wake the F up

Saying the 4th line is carrying is stretching it quite a bit. While they are better than our recent 4th lines, they have still been outplayed when they’ve been on the ice. If we get healthy, we will have to figure out which of our bottom 6 players (Groulx, Carrick, Leason, Johnston, Silf, Jones) make the cut to play on the 4th line.

EDIT: You can add McGinn and potentially even Lundestrom to that list.

 

[duckpuck]

There's definitely something going on with Z/Cronin. The prior game, there was a point when Zegras was firing away immediately at every opportunity - partly on the power play. He took several shots where I thought "why did he take that low percentage shot with no traffic in front".

My guess is that was Zegras' somewhat smart aleck response to the Cronin's request for more shots. And now tonight Zegras gets benched. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Misspoke. 2nd line is carrying.

4th line is doing their job is what i should have said.

I think it’s just a teach opportunity for Cronin. Zegras is young and struggling and Cronin prob trying to light a fire under him. Turning the puck over on power play cause we’re being too fancy right now is a big no no .

Don’t think we need to read much further into it… I just hope he holds all the players to these standards

 

[Mr Rogers]

When They decide to play him. Lol

Terry had a rough game tonight but I still thought he was creating chances, but he was trying too hard probably and was just off. Overall I don’t think Terry has been bad at all thru 6, I know others might disagree but he’s been creating chances every night.

Mac is still only 20 years old and might be trying to do too much, but still needs to put on more mass as well as a little more speed. I think Mac's line is the top line despite always being labeled line 2, especially now that we know we'll be having rotating 1C's this year,

I liked Leason last year when he was paired with Mac. When Mac got promoted to 1C and 2C, the eyeball on Leason softened. Glad Leason put in more work all around, including skating. Crazy to think that Leason's still 24 years old. And with Silf departure probably occurring this season, Leason is good insurance.
