GDT: Oilers @ Ducks - 7 PM PT - 4 AM CET

[PCDiesel]

Whats up with Andersen and softies lately, I saw him when I was at the team store he seems like an overconfident ****.

Because he thinks he is a top 10 goalie when he is not a top 10 goalie.

Here's the ****ing quote of the season so far...



No **** Kev.

I miss Beauchemin

 

[evomacky]

was really hoping Perry got the hatty last night. i was ready to throw my hat onto the air only to land on section 204 LOL

 

[Frosted Tips]

Just looked through some stats from last night and Bieksa really does shine in a bad way there too. He was mostly matched up against the top line (RNH, Hall, Draisaitl) and he managed a whopping ~25% CF-rating against those three. Fowler had it around ~40%.

 

[Opak]

I'm so sick of Hagelin. He's the most useless NHL forward I've ever seen, how in the world did he get 4 million per year?? At this point, I'd rather play Friberg as a LW over him, at least Max can't be any worse. Here's hoping we trade his *** ASAP.

Eh, I get where you're coming from but from a goalies perspective if he didn't have that confidence he'd probably be way worse, and he still has a .924sv% which is pretty mind boggling considering the softies he lets in.

Hagelin has been good lately, if you want to point fingers point them at Silfverberg he is entering Etem territory offensively.

They both have two points.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Good is not what I would call Hagelin's play lately. Not absolutely sucking is more accurate.

Which is good compared to the lineup as a whole

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

The positive I take out of the game is Rakell with the Twins. I've been campaigning for this since last season! I thought he looked awesome on the wing and meshed well with them right away. I could see him becoming a legit top 6 winger in this league.

 

[Jack Bauer DAMNIT]

That top line looked nasty with Rick on the wing. I think there's some potential there.
Second line is a little too Swede, not enough Finnish.
Secondary scoring is always helpful.
Bieksa makes the whole defensive corps look bad (Sbisa) and would look much better in a Sharks jersey.
You can always count on Fred to let in his signature softie.

 

[Arthuros]

Let's hope Fowler doesn't succumb to the Bieksa funk like Lindholm has.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I did not stay up to watch because of a very early wake up. As I peruse the box score one major issue jumps out at me, and I'm not sure how you fix it without bruising Kesler's ego.

He plays just about 20 minutes a night for the Ducks and he is now a -11. His two line mates are -6 and -7. For my money, this is a coaching issue.

If everybody who plays like **** had their minutes cut, we wouldn't have enough players to finish the game.

 

[ferroid]

Was Rakell also on the power play?

 

[bumperkisser]

its looking like our season will ride or die with fowler right now. he is basically keeping our d-corps afloat as well as sami/stoner being reliable.

You mean the top pairing might be around -20 instead of around -10???

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

Fowler has been our best Dman by a landslide, Sami has been pretty darn good too. Hampus has been meh, id say no better than Manson to be honest. Stoner looks pretty good to me this season though. Bieksa, oh man I really wish there was a way to get him off this roster. It's like he's trying to be Brent Burns, but with about 10% of the talent.

 

[Quack Shot]

Those all came when team couldn't score and he was on the ice more than anyone. +/- is all screwed up right now

Are you prepared to own this statement?


Take the afternoon to think about it

 

[snarktacular]

It's Sbisitis, and it's contagious.

Not sure about numbers. But Fowler has taken a step this season. Forward.

sure. i'll stand by it. pull up his minuses and lets see how many were actually his fault vs a soft goal by andersen or someone else completely screwing up

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

I find it hard to believe anyone can fault Fowler on his play this year. My only complain is I dont like him on the point for the Power Play, which is more a reflection of his lack of a hard shot and assertiveness. Besides that he has been great in every other aspect.

 

[DaDucks*]

You could do his whole career, all -47 of them, would it really make you feel better? The fact that he's stacking -'s is the problem, not how they are attained.


His play is good, I haven't said otherwise.
