GDT: Pre-Season Kings @ Ducks - 09/25/15 @ 7:00 PST

[alcolol]

Maroon was noticeably poor

 

[Sojourn]

Getzlaf has looked occasionally good. Basically nothing new from him but he's skating fine.

Fowler seems just a little more aware defensively so basically he still looks playoff form

Bieksa has made some excellent defensive plays

If Manson plays like this he could replace Stoner easily.

Maroon looks invisible on his line.

Rakell seems more confident with the puck.

I know Sauced has been pumping his tires a lot but Sekac really does look great out there.

Vatanen had a miserable period. The physical mismatches continue

Andersen is in the zone.

Horcoff played a bit messy.

Jackman too IMO.

Much appreciated.

 

[Tecumseh]

How does Hayward have a job? Most of HFDucks have a higher hockey IQ than him

The real question is who on HFDucks doesn't?

 

[HanSolo]

Much appreciated.

I'll update after the second period. I take it you're unable to watch right now.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Anything of note from the regulars?

The defensive system is actually being played, that's a plus.

Fowler looks like he did in the playoffs.

Vatanen has zero chemistry with anyone right now. He looks bad.

Andersen has been solid but just positioned saves so far.

Sekac looks good.

Getzlaf is taking it easy I think but is skating well.

Maroon looks clumsy.

Jackman still isn't skating well.

Bieksa looks solid positionally and physically.

 

[HanSolo]

Touchy subject

 

[duckaroosky]

This east coast time is going to be the end of me.

 

[Sojourn]

I'll update after the second period. I take it you're unable to watch right now.

Unfortunately not. And thanks.

 

[HanSolo]

I know it's premature but Ritchie doesn't look ready to me.

 

[Ducks Nation*]

5 on 3....

 

[kducks]

So the Kings are into spearing everyone this season?

 

[NikoEhlers]

Dirty

 

[DarthYenik]

Where is this better team I keep hearing about in articles and coach interviews?

 

[Sean Garrity]

Noesen off a nice feed from Ritchie.

edit: Ritchie actually breaks his stick shooting which caused the "pass".

 

[DarthYenik]

So the Kings are into spearing everyone this season?

Why do you think they got Looch.

 

[HanSolo]

So daducks knocks Noesen, I knock Ritchie, they both have points.

 

[kducks]

Noesen!

 

[NikoEhlers]

Haha his sticks break looked like a shot from Ritchie

 

[salsa man]

True but We didn't trade for him this morning

He's had two major injuries. He looked good in the AHL.

... and he just scored.

 

[Sojourn]

So daducks knocks Noesen, I knock Ritchie, they both have points.

Say something else.

 

[Norduck]

Yeah Noesen totally sucks. Look at those stone hands.

 

[DarthYenik]

Noesen looks like Cam's long lost twin brother.

 

[Sojourn]

I've only seen Noesen a few times, but I have to say he always impressed me. I always felt like he could be a good player if he stayed healthy.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Noeson isn't very good

Do it again.

We need more kids on the power play. The vets are still poop.

 

[HanSolo]

Say something else.

Man that Stewart guy looks terrible.
