GDT: PDSF: Winnipeg @ Anaheim. Duck Trek: The Gathering

I'd take out one of Etem/Jackman for Sekac, but yeah I agree the lineup should be kept together. I'd like to put Wiz in, but where do you put him?

I'm guessing they take out depres and put in wiz but I just worry. I want wiz to succeed, I really do. I think I was excited when he returned but he hasn't been very good.

Bringing Wiz in for Despres would cause a reshffule on 2 of the 3 defence pairings (because BB has shown 0 faith in a Fowler-Wiz pairing), I don't think that's a smart move right at the start of a series. I'd be surprised if Anaheim makes a change on defence (or forwards) just yet considering they put in one of the best games of 2015 so far.

Those numbers are just mind-blowing.

Byfuglien accounts for 1/3 of Winnipeg's production, too.

just got home from the Ponda and afterparty (i.e. denny's).

refs pretty much didnt call several calls against the jets. and yet the jets fans were complaining? typical.

one game down, three to go.

Stoner was bad early, but ended up having a solid game. Pissed when Frolik boarded him, but at least Getz made them pay

I won't deny that in a vacuum a change here or there could make sense. But considering how fragile the team has been overall during the regular season I'm banking on/hoping the chemistry from game one will help propel them further. It's only one game but they have to be feeling great about themselves. I'd just like to try leaving it alone. If they come out like **** in game 2 then all bets are off going forward.

The fact that they actually expanded that lead tonight... Crazy.

that should be my user title. i wonder if it fits

Love how most of the Jets fans are acted like we were gifted the win because they somehow managed to play their worst game in a month. I guess the team they were playing had no effect on how they played. The result is entirely dependent on them.

I agree but fowler depres didn't look great either and I don't think they'll leave out wiz for the whole series.

First Ducks playoff win for me seeing live! Fun game, no more voice. Team really showed up for the third. Gotta keep Pavelec looking mediocre, I know he's been doing well, but I've seen him live a handful of times now and he reminds a lot of Jonas (gets inside his own head too much) gotta keep him on his toes.. Go Ducks!

I agree on Wiz probably doesn't miss the whole series, but I think you'd struggle to justify changes so early into this series. I wouldn't be surprised if the first changes are for Game 3 as BB has shown in the past he'll change things up depending on the building their in.

Despres is still pretty inexperienced when it comes to the playoffs, so I'd want to see at least 1 more game of him first to see if he was just struggling to shake the nerves out. I thought he used the body quite well for the most part to free up the puck, but the puckhandling/passing was a different story.

Doubt BB changes the lineup...they looked great in the third. Why change anything?

Really pleased with the effort...I AM concerned with Andersen. Was laying out VERY juicy rebounds all night.

Overall though, can't complain. On to game 2!

Ok, back to the series thread.

Awesome thread and a great win
