Peli Kaksi - Ducks @ Wild. GT: 5:00pm PST 10/5

[IDuck]

They need speed up there Getz not the fastest and Perry doesn't even try to skate lol

i think we have to give penner a look, the thing that scare's me about penner on that line is BB has a completely different system than RC so that big grinding line (in theory) might not be that effective with BB's system...i think etem isnt a bad option but i wouldnt mind a more defensive-minded forward playing with them as that line can seem to get pinned in our zone at times and we need someone to make that little play that not only helps the D out but gets pucks out

 

[8inblack]

Perry has been bad but look at the context of the minutes they're playing. Perry is out there against Ryan Suter, the 2nd line is mostly out against Spurgeon and Scandella. More minutes does not equal more opportunities as those minutes are going to be tougher minutes.

I can remember a certain Perry on a sizeable breakaway getting caught and outplayed by said infamous Scandella

 

[Vipers31]

They need someone who is strong on the puck and won't turn it over on the cycle. That line has rarely generated anything off the rush, it's mostly from their work down low.

Exactly. It's not like they'll suddenly start hitting guys on the rush just because the third guy on their line is fast. They'll continue to play their game.

Perry was almost at the boards while Scandella was near the middle, it makes sense that he would cut perry off at the goal.

Mixed with a bouncing puck and its no wonder he was able to get a stick on it.

Well that was pretty rough to watch. Our dmen...lovejoy and Allen were particularly awful.

Yay for points I guess because we didn't deserve that at all. Please practice breakouts for the next 24 hours.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Light the lamp?

Like this?

 

[QuackCity93]

What a goal by perreault he is a beast. He and silfverberg need to stay on a line together

 

[snowave]

decent game... will echo many comments on Silf and Perreault.. and Penner was OK, not great. Did Perry play tonight?

btw, wtf is up with the blue scrolling ticker during the whole game.. that thing drove me crazy. (sorry if it's already been mentioned, missed the first game as I was traveling).

Scandella had a better angle and wasn't completely flat footed like Perry was. Perry was also at the end of his shift.

Its the new fox sports thing... so get used to it I guess, pretty pointless but I guess they think its important

I thought Allen was pretty good again. He's never gonna move the puck though. If Vatanen doesn't get killed he'll be a good partner for him.

 

[getzforfighting*]

i wish perry shot on that breakaway, gotta realize a guy in a slump has got to shoot the puck more.

 

[AngelDuck]

Overall terrible game. Outplayed most of the time. Deserved to lose, but I'll take 2 points tonigh

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Allen impressed me again.

I thought Allen was pretty good again. He's never gonna move the puck though. If Vatanen doesn't get killed he'll be a good partner for him.

I think the ineptitude of the puck moving from most of the defense skewed my perception of each's game.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Fistric makes me miss Sbisa, the lack of mobility on the defense is showing

 

[Sojourn]

I actually like that pairing. I thought Sami was running around a bit at times defensively, and Allen seemed to really help keep things settled down. And Sami is obviously the guy who moves the puck and helps that pairing break it out of the zone. Seems like a good complement.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I think the ineptitude of the puck moving from most of the defense skewed my perception of each's game.

Yeah our overall transition game is bad. This is kind of the team I thought we'd see last season.

 

[bumperkisser]

i liked allen/sbisa together. fowler/lovejoy weren't bad either. the only bad part about that pairing was when lovejoy was trying ot mak a breakout pass. my lord those were hard to watch beauch'fistric wasnt great

 

[OCSportsfan]

Yeah our overall transition game is bad. This is kind of the team I thought we'd see last season.

I am not sure if it is the defense not being able to make a pass, or the forwards not moving and getting open. I cant stand the pass off the boards into nowhere. There is a reason we lose the puck possession battle every game.

BB, please keep Palmieri on the top line for at least a few games. Or you could go with

Beleskey-Getz-Perry
silf-MP22-Selanne
C-K-W
Penner-Bonino-Palmieri

By the way, silf played better tonight

 

[Sojourn]

The thing is, I like Lovejoy, but he isn't a top 4 defenseman. He's a mobile 3rd pairing guy. I wouldn't mind seeing what Lindholm can do. He's every bit as mobile, and I think his breakout passes will exceed Lovejoy's. I'm just not sure how he'd do defensively, under pressure, if he's getting top 4 match-ups.

I also think Lindholm would make more sense on the 2nd PP unit.

It's risky, and I realize that, but Magnus is an impressive talent. We can't keep him in the press box, and we either need to give him a look in the NHL or send him to Norfolk. Personally, I'd rather give him an opportunity here, and then see where it takes him.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Vatanen should stay on the team regardless of people health, and he should be on our FIRST PP line.

 

[Paul4587]

Vatanen should stay on the team regardless of people health, and he should be on our FIRST PP line.

Outside of 30 seconds where he'd just been out the shift before he was on the 1st unit the whole game.

 

[Sojourn]

Yup. This is the opportunity we wanted to give Sami, wasn't it? 3rd pairing responsibility at even strength, and lots of PP time.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Yup. This is the opportunity we wanted to give Sami, wasn't it? 3rd pairing responsibility at even strength, and lots of PP time.

He looks much less overwhelmed in these two games so far than he did last season.
