GDT: Remembering When We Were Badass (Washington @ Anaheim, 6:00pm PST)

[branmuffin17]

TV: ESPN+, Fox Sports Prime Ticket
Radio: AM 830

Niedermayer Retirement Ceremony starts @ 4:00pm PST. (I'm gonna be there!)

Washington: 32-19-7 (71 points, 5th in the Eastern Conference)
Anaheim: 22-27-9 (53 points, 14th in the Western Conference)

(Why has no one done the GDT hours before the game? This is the 2nd in a row I'm doing! LOL well I have a pretty bad track record of creating GDTs and the Ducks losing, so maybe this works?)

Tonight, we'll forget about this season for a bit, and remember back to the days when we were legitimately good, and tough, and had heart. So no listing of lines or other BS. Just salute our best D-man of all time, Sir Scott Niedermayer.

Who is in net tonight?

 

[branmuffin17]

Believe it's Ryan Miller.

 

[MMC]

All indications are we're going with the same roster as the previous game.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

I hope Dirk is at this game around suite level so he can ask Burke about truculence for 3 hours.

 

[MMC]

Jones's birthday, perfect day for him to score his first NHL goal.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

Remember to be in the GDT two hours before game time.

 

[duxfan1101]

At this point all I want in this game is for Max Jones to score his first goal on his birthday

Place is still empty.

Asking the real questions

This place is empty

Ownership and team relations finally predicted traffic and tardiness in SoCal because apparently this thing isn't getting started until 430

Even so a lot of people have to get in their seats in the next 10 minutes

That’d be great... @ducksdvm?

 

[Ducks DVM]

That’d be great... @ducksdvm?

Yup. I’ll start when they do something other than play bad music.

 

[ducks8]

Let's open the doors an hour before you're suppose to be in your seats. No one's gonna go to the team store. Should have opened at like 3

 

[HanSolo]

Jesus christ. The empty seats.

 

[Fabiobest]

A Lightning fan, coming in PEACE.

Scott Niedermayer...

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

LOL @ Samueli referencing the Val Kamensky fight. Complete with the kicking of the jersey across the ice. That was a fun trip down memory lane.

 

[DarthYenik]

I miss Marchant.

Edit: perfect speech, too.

 

[HanSolo]

Scotty namedrops Randy and the fans boo. Ruh roh.
