GDT: HFBoards GDT 2/13/19 | featuring Oilers vs Pens

[JerseyMike34]

Oh look a 90's hockey game.

These officials are gonna start handing out misconducts quick

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

If the Ducks honor the movie Mighty Ducks before the game and don’t go on to win the game, they should have to be disbanded and moved to Saskatoon.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Ducks have a little fight tonight, and they are winning. Kinda reminds me of the Old Ducks, for better or worse.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Wow. Milbury said something that actually made me laugh.

 

[serp]

Ducks looking like a hockey team again , for now , maybe they actually actively did mail in to get Carlyle fired.

 

[Leonardo87]

Ducks looking feisty tonight.

 

[GodPucker]

Dirty by getzlaf

No surprise whatsoever

 

[Solmors]

Dirty by getzlaf

No surprise whatsoever

I hate the Ducks more than any other team, but I'm not sure that was a dirty hit. Looks accidental and Getz just saw him at the last second and braced for it. I'd like to watch the replay a couple more times though.

It's hard to know for sure, but from the views they showed here it looked like he saw Jake the whole time. Considering Jake just knocked Perry over I would not put it past Getzlaf.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Canucks with their signature slow start.

 

[Spazkat]

With the exception of the injury, that looks like a collision that happens a million times a day

 

[Anglesmith]

Yeah, I wouldn't put it past Getzlaf either, but there isn't really a way to know.

 

[Ducks DVM]

If Getzlaf was really trying to truck him he wouldn’t have bounced like that. He would have leveled him and kept skating.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Agree with Burke. Seemed like it was contact Getzlaf could have easily avoided.

Not that he wanted to hurt Virtanen but seemed like he wanted to make contact.

 

[Bizzare]

Well, that's when you get in jeopardy of a major/suspension. Getzlaf is not stupid.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Well, that's when you get in jeopardy of a major/suspension. Getzlaf is not stupid.

Agreed. This is not the body language of someone trying to hurt someone though. He’s actively pulling away from the hit. I would but he was trying to run a pick but I don’t think he was being predatory. I’d like to see video of more than just the split second right before the hit though. Looked like it was not intentional here at the game but we never got a replay.

Entirely possible it was an accident. Also entirely possible that he made sure it looked like an accident. It had been chippy in the first up to this point, there was a hard play by Virtanen moments prior, and Getzlaf was facing in the direction of Virtanen for a long time prior to this collision, so there is plenty to fuel the suspicion here. But if it was intentional, he did enough to provide plausible deniability and keep from getting kicked out.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The Ducks Captain is fighting? That's like Joe Thornton fighting. Doesn't happen very much but shocks you when it does.

 

[SourTemplePilot]

Respect to Getzlaf for answering the bell.

Yup. Answered the bell, too.

Getzlaf is an ass, but he’s not routinely dirty in an attempt to injure people type dirty.

 

[TNT87]

When WAS the last time Edmonton beat Pittsburgh? 2006?

The Penguins are 14-0-3 in their last 17 games against them. Not sure when the last time they beat them.

With all the face problems he's had, really surprised he did it.

 

[Ducks DVM]

With all the face problems he's had, really surprised he did it.

He has like 30 career fights including preseasons. The Ducks brass told him to stop several years back because it’s stupid to have your best player sitting in the box routinely.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I swear the officiating has been noticeably worse this season.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

The Ducks are such a dirty f***ing team.
