Post-Game Talk: Playoff Discussion Thread Round Two: Ducks vs Flames

[Bagge]

CI you should use a lord of the rings theme for the next round. Perry can be Legolas and Getz is Aragorn.

Andersen is Gandalf?? YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!

It's worse, because their team is good, and proven, and they know it. I hate to say it but this is where Anaheim has to prove itself, sink or swim. We aren't the favorite if we make it to the WCF. I just hope I'm right and we do good so they can eat crow.

Ive seen a lot of people say things like "if the Ducks dont make it out the 2nd round, Boudreau should be fired." In my opinion this year its not about getting out the 2nd round, its not about making the finals, its about winning the cup. With the amount of talent that we have, and the absolute steals BM went out and grabbed at the deadline (not to mention Kesler), theres no reason this team shouldnt win it all. Its clear this is the year to go for it and that the cup is our only goal. Kesler said it himself, we came here to win the whole thing.

I just hope we actually do. Ive never seen a team that deserves it more than they do. And I really think were a much better team than the Hawks and any team that could come out of the East. Waiting til next week for that WCF to start will be maddening.

Haha, thats perfect . Pretty sure you could make all our players into LOTR characters. Getz as Aragorn and Perry as Legolas are locks though.

HF Logic: "Ducks fans think their team will compete and possibly beat the Hawks? So cocky!"

I've been picturing a "Wrath of Kane" GDT

All of the final 4 teams will have come here to win the whole thing. Not sure what makes the Ducks more special. Came harder? Wholer thing?

There's no shame in getting to the final four and losing there unless you're upset. Losing to the Hawks would not be an upset. Now, if we were to make it to the next round, blow a 3-2 series lead and lose 6-2 on home ice, that's a different thing.

I think were a better team than the Hawks, and that we should win.


And if we dont win, then what the heck are we supposed to do? How much more talent can you assemble under the cap? If we cant beat an elite team now, when will we ever be able to?

When the many, many young players we have gain more experience? Like, next year for example?

And if we lose some of our top guns from this year, it still wont be enough to beat an elite team like Chicago.

 

[HanSolo]

Damn Hawks fans are arrogant and obnoxious, possibly even worse than Rangers fans.

Not possibly. They are. But they have good reason to be.

Beer worked!

People at work are conspiring to buy all the beer in my neighborhood and gift me some wine if it's indeed Chi-Ana in WCF

I just want to get to Voyage Home. Working that into a GDT would be a miracle.

 

[Ducks DVM]

The only guy we are in danger of losing is Beleskey. Chicago, on the other hand, is about to experience some major cap issues and another purge.

I have a bunch of ideas lined up and that is one of them. Tonite's, which I'm finishing atm (~90 mins, but you know how I am at guesstimating time ) will be a mix of Start Trek, Dr. Who and Warhammer 40k

Keep with the ducks as a Star Trek crew, it's been working so far. That said, no reason they can't visit an m-class world called middle earth...

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

everything is done except for the Ducks lines. should I roll with what I posted for last game, or did I miss an update on twitter??

 

[SirQuacksALot]

I haven't seen anything on Twitter. Last game was a win, so I'm assuming the lines won't change.

No updates on twitter. But Sekac in for Jackman wouldn't surprise me much at all.

I would just go with the lines from last game though

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

I haven't seen anything on Twitter. Last game was a win, so I'm assuming the lines won't change.

last thing I saw was this:

Maroon//Getzlaf//Perry
Beleskey//Kesler//Silfverberg
Fleischmann//Rakell//Cogliano
Sekac//Thompson//Jackman

Despres//Fowler
Lindholm//Beauchemin
Stoner//Vatanen

Andersen
LaBarbera

I know that's not 100% right, any corrections before I post this beast?

 

[SirQuacksALot]

I think Gibson was on the bench over LaBarbera.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Palms will probably be in because he had an assist...and was playing on the 2nd line for some reason...

 

[SirQuacksALot]

Bruce will juggle the lines anyway, so don't feel pressured to get them perfect. Even if you do, you'll be wrong.

 

[Nordic*]

Etem would be perfect against Calgary.

Flash & Palmieri should sit (Sekac in).


Won't happen though..

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

the last lines i used got a win so i will use those, except for adding in gibson. the line editing on this one is crazy, but i am almost done

 

[1manband]

Although he hasnt done a lot this series, I think he needs to be in there tonight to counter any stupidity Bollig might bring in an elimination game

 

[Static]

I think Bruce moved Silf down to make the third line playable. Kesler and beleskey kept the second line playing fine as well, so I think it was just keeping all four lines relatively playable in certain situations.

Hell, Silf went down to the fourth line for jackman at times as well, that doesn't mean he was demoted to the fourth.
