GDT: We play in 15 minutes (@Dallas, 5pm Pacific)

[Black Duck]

Upcoming press conference in my mind:

So Randy, what happened?
- "We didn't hit em enough. We allowed em to roll our goalie..."

How do you prepare your team for next game?
- "We have long sweaty practise, where I also yell a lot, and make em skate the rink around for good 20 mins..."

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Just a real solid effort tonight by everyone. They did their best but when Gibson lets the team down and gets pulled after only 40 something shots halfway through the game not much they can do

 

[heynowbababooey]

I'm at work and last I saw it was 3-0. Checked the score and we lost 5-3. What the f*** happened?????

 

[IDuck]

imagine if dallas played 60mins

 

[pbgoalie]

Gibby after the second

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

What are they going to wake up? This is what it is. This is what we get this season.

You could have just posted the Willy Wonka GIF, then I would have had some positive emotions while coming to the depressing conclusion that this is true.

I still hope that maybe the veterans give a spark, but Carlyle being fired and another good young piece is a nice consolation

 

[bsu]

That was literally the worst second period I think I've ever seen.

 

[Ducks in a row]

So up 3-0 then lose 5-3

Steel and Lundestrom picked up a point in today's game and Sherwood with 1st NHL goal congrats.

Ducks goals of the game.

 

[pbgoalie]

Any game that the intensity gets crazy he look afraid

 

[teemussalami1]

The Carey Price effect

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

That was literally the worst period I think I've ever seen.

Fixed that. And that's across any level of hockey, that period was so disgusting, I thought about gouging out my eyes with a spoon.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Thought the game started at 9 local, totally missed it, I had a great night.

 

[KelVarnsen]

So an old coach teaching a new system seems to be working out well. The players don’t seem to know where to be at times.

I know injuries are a huge part of it but I’m still flabbergasted BM thought this was going to work out ok.

Ducks should be 0-5 if not for a superhuman goalie.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Lol.... They always have a game in dallas where they cough up a lead. But they have horrible team defense.. Not good

this is so true...if not for gibson this team is 0-5, im not seeing much "fast hockey" being played....i saw hope the last 2 preseason games, but it almost seems like that have fallen into old ways.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

If you remove 'in' from the thread title, that would be giving this team too much credit.

 

[AngelDuck]

They're going to be taken out back and stomped tomorrow. STL made some great moves this offseason, getting ROR, Perron and Maroon

 

[bsu]

You know Maroon is gonna be a real piece of shit tomorrow.

 

[PrototypeX85]

Not sure what all changed with the "new system", but the Ducks are still one of the most boring teams to watch in the league.

 

[kducks]

I'm just hoping Gibby didn't have to come out because of that shot to the mask.

 

[HanSolo]

Well regardless of roster quality, that was an inexcusable performance.

Gibson does a lot of heavy lifting to cover up how shit this team is.

 

[Static]

Would much rather have Vatanen back than deal with Fowler. Hooooly moly.

Vatanen is another former ducks player who needed a kick in the ass to get his act together, and that's what the trade was. He was garbage his last 1.5 years in Anaheim.

 

[bsu]

Carlyle probably pulled Gibson has a precaution since he knows he's the only reason he still has a job.

 

[Exit Dose]

Missed the game, but that move by Lundestrom before the goal sure looks a lot like what a third line center does, amirite?
