Player Discussion Jakob Silfverberg II

[Nordic*]

Looked great in the first 40 minutes last game, but I didn't watch the last period.

How was he?

 

[Markus078]

Some here mentined he was the best Ducks forward.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Our new kids club captain!

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Our new kids club captain!

Damn, I was hoping for Bieksa.

 

[Opak]

Damn, I was hoping for Bieksa.

Me too, that way we could've really tested the strength of that kids club curse

 

[Kalv]

Damn, Jakob i hardly knew `ya

 

[dracom]

So how long do we have until he's traded?

 

[Opak]

So how long do we have until he's traded?

Just like Lovejoy and Maroon, he'll get dealt on trade deadline day. If the Lovejoy trade was "good" and the Maroon trade was "bad", does it mean that the inevitable Silf deal will be "ugly"?

Was Penner somehow involved with the kids club? He was also traded on TDL day, this **** can't be a coincidence...

 

[Terry Yake]

i wonder what the silf trade will look like

 

[KeepItDeep]

That's Bob in disguise with the sack.

 

[Nordic*]

Wonder if he'll have a slow start to yet another season, or if he can finally fire upp all engines from the first game and onwards.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Wonder if he'll have a slow start to yet another season, or if he can finally fire upp all engines from the first game and onwards.

Hope so, it will be a great year for him in that case. Last year start was affected by that hit.

 

[Goose of Reason]

If he doesn't start slow again and stays injury free, I think Silf has a legitimate shot at 50 points.

 

[vavera4ka]

not sure what would be worse... Silf being traded because of the curse, or him getting a "Hiller" side of the curse.
Wasn't it during Hiller's Kids Club captaincy when he was tearing it up and then got basically career ending vertigo?
Jacob is too young for that lol

 

[Nordic*]

Missed tonight's game, but reading the comments, Silfver looked great. People were also positively surprised by Rocky.

Magnus was a healthy scratch.

 

[NORiculous]

Say... what is he up too?

 

[dracom]

Say... what is he up too?

Being great defensively and scoring goals. Best season start so far.

 

[Sojourn]

Say... what is he up too?

He's been great. Simple as that. Right up there with Kesler, as one of our best all-around forwards.

Edit: He and Kesler are two of the reasons I still think Anaheim can compete this season. The two of them get **** done, at both ends of the ice, and if Perry can start scoring again, we'll have a pretty lethal top six. The depth after that is still lacking, but with the way Getzlaf has been playing, and the duo of Kesler and Silfverberg(shout out to Cogs too), this is a top six that could do some damage in the playoffs.

The more time passes, the more I think Anaheim won the Bobby Ryan trade, which is tough to do when you're the one moving the best player at the time. It could get even more heavily weighted for the Ducks if Ritchie continues to improve.

 

[Duck Off]

Difference this year is he's going to the dirty areas. Like Souj said, best start to the season of his career.

 

[Nordic*]

Seems like has always comes into every season being one step behind, looking timid and without confidence.

Even though he didn't really shine during the WC, that pre tournament probably helped get ready for the NHL season mentally (and physically).

Lets not go crazy some early points from silf and cogs do NOT make this a team with a strong 2nd scoring line... and that will bite us in playoffs.

We need a 3rd line that can contribute. We need to acquire some top 6 winger talent that can form a "3rd line" that can contribute if RC is basically going to ignore 4th line (as he should with this lineup...)

Edit: but has has some really good looks at the net. And he has had an overall great start

 

[70sSanO]

I disagree that we don't have a great 2nd line. Silfverberg has been great and Kesler is scoring at a good clip. Where we will fail in the playoffs is the 1st line. Our top line needs to step it up, especially in the playoffs where it typically disappears.

Top line doesn't typically disappear in the playoffs unless you count games 6 and 7 that the top line struggles but guess what so has most of the team in such games.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah, who cares about games 6 and 7. And most of the team doesn't make $8m per year.

When are top line struggles we have a hard time winning it would be nice if we could get the rest of the team to help win some of those games when the top line struggles but I guess that is too much to ask for.
