GDT: Game # 62 Anaheim “Not so Mighty” Ducks Vs. Viva Las Vegas 02/23/2020 @ 10PM EST on NBCSN

[Leonardo87]

Our defense is f*ckin pathetic, from riches to rags. Good job Murray. I'd take bieska or sbisa over half our defense.

I think their Top 4 when healthy and playing well is pretty solid. Issue is more finishing for this team among the forward group. The D has not been healthy all season, and think that is one of the reasons for inconsistent play, don’t think Lindholm and Manson have been 100 percent for good portions of this season. But the bigger issue is no depth. You have mostly 7Ds playing in Top 4 roles, when those guys get hurt, which is not good.

People need to keep in mind that this what happens during a rebuild. You move on from players that you like in order to gain assets. The key is to not get attached to players that aren't critical

Yes, but it’s even more difficult when the guys getting shipped out are the ones always giving an honest effort while the ones who have been called out by the GM and Coach are given free passes.

I hear you, man. But the thing is, the guys who give an honest effort are the ones that are coveted by teams that are making a playoff run. So this is how it goes.

Grant will get a solid return

To be fair, other teams only want to trade for players who are always giving an honest effort. You can't trade crap that no one wants.

Has Ahlers ever been asked to do a national broadcast? They seem to always have Hazy there.

Rakell is just the worst.

 

[Leonardo87]

Rakell on the tank squad.

 

[AngelDuck]

Amazing how hard these Knights forwards back check

 

[ADHB]

It’s so nice having a legitimate PBP man calling our game. Forgot what that was like.

 

[bsu]

Rakell is playing like he's in a beer league

Forslund is the best in the business

He’s great.

See, Ahlers? It is possible to actually call every play like your job requires you to do.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Nice play by Getzlaf.

Speaks volumes that on his first two shifts, he's skating harder than Rakell is and has been more noticeable in the offensive zone.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Ritchie was so sure that was a penalty he’d given up lol

 

[Deuce22]

Sherwood replacing Shore makes that line much more dangerous.
