Player Discussion Jakob Silfverberg II

[Dr Johnny Fever]

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.

It always helps when everybody contributes. But there's a reason some guys make $8M and others make way less. You expect more from those you pay more. Especially when it counts. Especially 4 years in a row of game 6 and 7 failures.

The point is the entire team had its problems everyone involved deserves blame.

Fine. But you cannot ignore your best players not showing up when it counts 4 years in a row. It's not like we expect Cogs or other role players to carry the team when it counts the most. The blame is not shared equally.

Getzlaf and Perry suck ass recently in games that matter and close games AND overtimes.

Getzlaf and Perry suck ass recently in games that matter and close games AND overtimes.

Maybe the minutes have already taken its toll on them, or more likely, they are pacing themselves by taking shifts off so they will still have at least something in the tank come April.

Carlyle needs to back off the Perry & Getzlaf minutes, especially since they are not producing. If you are going to wear them out at least get a few points and W's.

Yea Getzlaf and Perry have sucked later in a series maybe playing heavy mins with so much pressure gets to them. Also Getzlaf has had some injury problems in some of those series. It would be great if the rest of the team would of played better helping to relive the pressure but instead they have sucked they couldn't even be decent. Everyone is to blame it is that simple.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Everyone plays heavy mins in the playoffs and every team top line gets the same attention.

Sorry no.

Some play more then others and some are more relied on to score then others and some players are worse with more mins then others.

Sorry no.

Sorry yes.

Sorry yes.

I'll bet you have a closet full of participation trophies.

Great now throw insults around

It's hard to understand the concept of not holding people responsible to do the job you pay them for. If everybody is equally to blame then let's just pay everybody the same and call it a day. No sense blaming anybody.

Some deserve more then others but everyone is still to blame no one is blameless.

 

[Nordic*]

I think Silfverberg read this thread and was afraid that they were onto him...

 

[Nordic*]

Best first quarter of a season, of his carreer?

 

[Goose of Reason]

Best first quarter of a season, of his carreer?

No contest. Now the question is if he still finds another level second half/playoffs.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

His stop and goes on the boards are so damn good.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Let's not get greedy. I'd be ecstatic if he maintained this level all year/playoffs with no drop off.

 

[Duck Off]

Best first quarter of a season, of his carreer?

Easily. He's driving the net. He's made that line much more dangerous offensively. The little things have been there forever but he's dangerous offensively this year.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

On pace for 57 points now and he's always been a 2nd half player

 

[Ducks Nation*]

He's very confident right now.

 

[Kalv]

It`s more like he`s always been a ''recovering from injury in the 1st half'' type of player. I don`t expect him to improve much more from here.
He just needs to stay healthy, he`s our most important RW

as of right now agreed. which is hella depressing

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Super happy to see the kid succeeding, he was my original namesake for this account.

Any particular reason he's shown such a dramatic improvement in his game?

More experience, he's got good chemistry with Kesler and Cogliano, and he's not injured for once.
