GDT: Heading North for the Winter to Start a Winning Streak? Ducks vs. Wild, 5:00PM

[Daz28]

The team defense is actually looking cohesive and the goalies look better too. Hopefully Gibby is seeing this and getting pumped. If he goes back to playing like he cares this team could actually do some damage.

This will be unpopular, but I was concerned with the way Gibson was responding to the losing streak

 

[Terry Yake]

wow the wild are awful

we'll take bruce back thanks

 

[Paul4587]

That was a really good defensive effort. Good win overall, happy for Perry and Kesler.

Also I wish someone would have levelled Geanlund. He’s a diving piece of shit and him drawing the puck out from Miller when it was covered should have earned him a punch in the face.

Murray said he only did one thing as a coach and that was ask for a couple things in the gameplan to be eliminated to get rid of gray areas. What did hell did he eliminate?

“Those things Randy said to do? Don’t do them any more.”

I never realized how badly I want them to sneak into the playoffs just to knock out Calgary until just now.

Little did we know that Stajan hit on Perry in 15 is what started the events that have now given him Teemu-like bionic knees. (Hopefully)

Probably getting ahead of ourselves a bit, but a re-energized Ducks team would be a nightmare 8th seed draw for the Flames.

My god, is this hope for the future I'm reading?

 

[terranraida]

A win streak!

... what do now?

 

[Terry Yake]

incredible how bob effing murray can come in with zero experience and coach this team better than carlyle

Great analysis

 

[AngelDuck]

Screw jack Hughes we have Jakob Silfverberg for 5 more years

Wonderful

Ducks would put out the Flames in 6 games. Win 1 in Calgary & win 3 in Anaheim.
Kesler destroying Giordano would be icing on the cake lol.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Aren't 3 of Lindholm's goals empty netters ? He has become the empty net goal ace, since he can get shots thru traffic, he can get shots thru the other team and into a empty net.

 

[pbgoalie]

Great effort, and Miller was perfect.

The fans wanting full on tank can go watch Oilers games instead.

In fairness they’re not tanking, they’re just the Oilers

If we make playoffs I’ll be pissed. This is our best chance to find an heir to Getz we are so close let’s not blow on a non contending team

From what I see, but doesn't necessarily mean that BM is the cause of it or that I'm right:

• Forwards(or at least one) seem to be closer when breaking out of the zone
• Defenseman are constantly jumping in to holes when breaking out(even Megna) and being more aggressive overall
• Puck seems to be moving east-west more as opposed to just throwing it up the boards
• Collapsing in the defensive zone in order to protect the net better/block shots
• Not nearly as much dump and chase
• They seem to be given more freedom and dare I say encouragement to be creative
• They were given their testicles back

 

[duxfan1101]

This might be an unpopular opinion but I haven't hated Del Zotto as much as I thought I would. Now I don't think he's been great by any means, and I don't want to keep him beyond this year, but he's just better than I expected. I also didn't realize he threw his weight around as much as he does.

 

[DuckRogers10]

Silf is seriously picking it up.

Doesn't have Cogs or Kesler dragging him down anymore

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Its funny how Kesler & Perry suddenly look good again Not long after Carlyle is gone.

Did Aberg infect Rakell ? Wasn't Aberg a partier supposely ?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Man body languege of players is much improved.... im scared to think where wed be if we didnt have RC this season

At this point Murray has to have figured out that his drinking buddy was the problem & when Carlyle asks for that front office position Murray can say 'its already been filled, sorry' or 'what front office position ?'

 

[Frosted Tips]

Missed the game and see some talk about Rakell. Did he have an especially bad game or is it just that he's not been improving along with the rest of the team?
