GDT: Game 66: Anaheim @ Winnipeg - Friday, March 15, 7:00pm CT - "Put Down the Duckies If You Want To Play the Saxophone" - TSN3/680 CJOB/Power 97

pretty sure this is to keep everyone fresh for the playoffs and don't want people sitting for too long

I get that. My comment was moreso on Pionk who's been bad as of late. Id think you'd also want miller get as many reps as possible.

 

[Gm0ney]

81-55-9s underlying numbers are bad but atleast they are not "horrorbad" like they were with 81-55-13 so that's progress I guess.

This team is going approximately nowhere with Iafalo in the Top 6. You're playing the goddamn Ducks, so try putting some skill up there. Perfetti, Niederreiter, Lambert...what the f***?

 

[macmaroon]

Thanks for the GDT @macmaroon !

Awful news regarding Villardi, but, I hope he makes a complete recovery.

We have to beat the Ducks tonight.

@Guardian17, you should be thanking @RetroWinnipeg...

 

[macmaroon]

Don't forget to get your guesses into the Prediction Contest thread while you still have time...

 

[snowkiddin]

It is against the Ducks who are horrawful... But how is Pionk not ever sitting lol. And Samberg being scratched is a choice. Id also think Miller may benefit from as many reps as possible on a new team, with diff pairings etc.

*horriawful

maybe john lu was drunk

Yeah, I have no clue where he would have gotten his info from as Bones didn't talk about it on his scrum.

yeah, I would have expected questions about that

Bones has clearly made up his mind on who he's going to war with in his top 9. With such a short time to playoffs we won't see Cole back up there unless circumstances force his hand.

For better or worse he's going with his vets.

yeah, I would have expected questions about that

They also only had 12 players on the ice so they wouldn't have done line rushes.

Iafallo has the same amount of 5v5 goals in the last two games as Ehlers and Perfetti have combined in the last 25 games, but sure he’s the problem….

 

[wasup]

Okay Okay , I have thought this over and have decided , Gabe can borrow my spleen till his gets better . My doctor said I would still be able to use my TV remote even without my spleen so I should be good to go .

 

[Fatdrunk]

Perfetti scratched again. Like really after how well he played with Name and Barron two gamed ago....

fancy skating and stick handling does not put the puck in the net

 

[Royale With Cheese]

maybe john lu was drunk

WTF? These are only an hour apart and they're totally different.

Someone is drunk and high. Okay, that's me, but someone else is also drunk and high.

Thanks @macmaroon !

My bad @RetroWinnipeg !

 

[The Blue Baron]

Do not forget to get your early IRISH on!

 

[UFO]

Beers are ready, can't wait for the game to start. Some weird lines, but let's see.

 

[enuffidiotsalready]

let the Irish yoga begin!

 

[GeorgeJETson]

The question is, are there still things trickling out of Mark Scheifele. The fans have a right to know!!!

As a fan, I will voluntarily give up my right to know.

 

[WolfHouse]

We were never going to elevate Apples when he was on his little scoring streak... or Barron or AJF... but Iafallo is the new shiny toy

 

[MardyBum]

Iafallo has the same amount of 5v5 goals in the last two games as Ehlers and Perfetti have combined in the last 25 games, but sure he’s the problem….

Since Jan 1st he's got 1 more point than Perfetti and 2 more goals in 30+ extra minutes.

Maybe he'll score every game for the rest of the year

 

[bustamente]

A I, KFC, and Fefe had success in the early part of the season maybe they catch lightning in bottle once again, plus maybe Toffoli and Nik get Monahan going because he has been invisible lately.

 

[King Woodballs]

Lack of winning tonight is completely unacceptable

I'll admit my knowledge of hockey is pretty slim, but 4-5 times a week I watch the early morning version of TSN's Sportscentre and the great majority of the hockey goals they show are a result of fancy stick handling and skating.
