Post-Game Talk: Game 9: 10/30 , Anaheim Ducks @ Pittsburgh Penguins - 4pm PT, BSSC

[CrazyDuck4u]

Gibson has given up 10 goals in his last 4 appearances against PIT, FYI.

I hate the fact that they play always play gibby against Pitz.. It never works.

I almost feel like, this is the game we’re giving him to at least keep up with dostal as far as who will be getting the important starts going forward. I can see a world where Gibson plays poorly tonight, and loses the net until the next time we play back to back games…

That's really not that bad.

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

That's not really that bad.

Especially when you consider just how bad the team has been during that time.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

If you are betting on the ducks, I’d wait till game time because I imagine the ducks will be a much larger underdog when Leo is announced to be out

I dunno. The top line wasn't as productive as the other three lines in our last game.

Your numbers look right. It was probably just the last 4 games against pit rather than Gibbys last 4. I went to Dobbers frozen tools and they do 5 game samples and Gibby is 15 goas against at 3.22 GAA(probably left one of those games) and a .916 sv%. It should be noted that up until last season he was 5 goals in 3 games with a .932 sv%

Ya I think I mixed up 1 of his games with another, so my point isn't as strong, but I still think his struggles against PIT are a bit overblown just because he's from there.

 

[Mr Rogers]

4 straight losses to the Pens. Definitely a team that has the Ducks number a bit.

We lost to everyone last year. :/

As long as we score 7 goals again, we're good.

Maybe a little, but he genuinely has struggled against Pittsburgh throughout his career. He has a career .898 save percentage against them, which is 6th worst for him (5th if we don't count Seattle, whom he's only played five times). He does have a 3.58 GAA against them, which is second worst (again, behind Seattle, whom we should probably exclude). I seem to recall some clunkers, especially in Pittsburgh. But you're right that it's not horrendous. He's 5-7-1 against them all time.

Tell us what we all want to know, are we seeing Sid vs Zegras or Sid vs Carlsson?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Carlsson playin?

 

[Steve7812]

Carlsson playin?

They posted a photo of him a few ago that looks like he was on the ice for the morning skate so hopefully.

 

[HanSolo]

The first one is super intriguing to me. With how physical Z has been this season, I'm interested to see if they bump bodies again.

Nice. I'm stuck at work till 6.. won't really get to watch it. Keep me in the loop guys

 

[robbieboy3686]

Team is definitely smart to suit carlsson up in a game to try and sweep a road trip and to get a taste of Sidney Crosby and malkin. We can sit him next game v a coyote team we should beat witu or without him

 

[Emerald Duck]

Quick somebody wake up Leo for the pregame

lets gooo.

I wonder if Verbeek finally realized shuffling the deck every two games on a first line that is playing amazing yet failing to convert is bad for chemistry.

Verbeek likely has zero input on line combinations unless Cronin asks his opinion while getting a beer at the bar after a game

I do agree though that I like the fact that Cronin is so far allowing lines to gain chemistry together before shuffling the deck

Carlsson will get next game off, and his next game will be against vegas. This week, big Leo will gain 2lbs of muscle alone
