GDT: Game Day Thread: GDT Edition Ducks @ Avs, 7 PST

[IDuck]

Bob might have to reevaluate our offseason spending based on how this team has looked without Vatanen. My goodness Bieksa is rotten.

im telling you, we just have to plant some drugs on him so we can make him "go away"....then we make up a sob story about how "crushed" we are.

 

[Jack Bauer DAMNIT]

Not adjusted to the altitude yet ? But seriously, wtf October Ducks. And why is Bieksa out there full time when Sami goes down ? Come on, Bruce.

Too many bad breaks and posts, and odd man rushes going our way.

Kesler line looks gassed.

There's only so much Gib can do to keep us in it.

Too cute Getz and Perron, fricken jam one in there.

GAAWH this is frustrating. Especially while watching the Kings games at the same time.

 

[Theridion]

Sloppy game.

Maybe with dumb luck it would be 3-1 or 3-2. But even if the Ducks buried their chances it really shouldn't be 3-3.

Regardless of ineffective offense, 6 odd man rushes (very clear and open rushes with almost ZERO chance of anyone catching the play to make it 2v2) and 3 goals against is the problem. Not the bad breaks on offense.

A game like this really makes you appreciate Kesler and Rakell being dynamic generators... and the rest of the crew being somewhat just opportunistic.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Great pass, but needed that Cogs!

 

[IDuck]

man cogs can be so frustrating some times

 

[Ducks DVM]

At this point I just want a good effort

 

[snarktacular]

I'm surprised Cogliano even got the shot in a scoring area, rather than a miss or in the chest.

So is Vatanen out the opposite of a few games ago where Bieksa was kicked out?

 

[snarktacular]

LOL Bieksa's stick is as reliable as he is.

 

[kducks]

**** you dirty Avs

 

[Ducks DVM]

I'm pretty sure we are supposed to start a stupid fight and then have the same guy assault an official a couple weeks later.

 

[Papaspud]

Aren't 4 or 5 of our players supposed to hold him down and beat the **** out of him for that??

I'm unfamiliar with hockey though, so what do I know.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Better start, still too much reaching and not enough skating.

 

[IndustryLeech]

Caught a break there.

 

[Ducks DVM]

How did that not go in?

 

[snarktacular]

Lindholm and Manson both by the opposing net. And the fact that it wasn't Bieksa means I'm totally OK with it.

Manson had all the grace of a giraffe on ice in that offensive foray.

A newborn and quite possibly stillborn giraffe, yes.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Bruce has thrown in the towel. PPG line.

I totally have a visual image of a giraffe on ice. Wearing skates. Thanks, I needed that.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Someone hit someone!

 

[Sean Garrity]

So Landeskog punches Despres in the back of the head and the Ducks are shorthanded? Makes sense.

 

[McDonald19]

Two D concussions?

 

[Ducks DVM]

And Despres takes a crosscheck to the head.

**** this cheap ass team. I hope they get enough suspension time to remove any hope of the playoffs.

 

[IDuck]

lol...derps gets crosschecked to the flipping HEAD and we get the penalty...hope its not a concussion

 

[alcolol]

**** Landeskog.

 

[ADHB]

Landedskog cross checked Despres in the neck/head and we're short handed. Cool.
