GDT: Will Lightning Strike Twice...? 4PM @TB

[snarktacular]

I wonder if Theo will be on another flight soon...

Just to catch the flu and then sit? Could we expose someone to waivers while we are at it?

Getzlaf and Silfverberg: empty-net assassins

Team is top-6 in empty net goals!

This is all true. I thought that loosing Wagner was made a too big of a deal, but it really was awful management by BM. Should've at least waited until Thompson was ready.

I don't think it's a big deal, by itself, but it was just unnecessary. More than that, when you look at the big picture, I see a team that is consistently losing assets without a whole lot of gain. Just because they aren't all great assets doesn't mean it isn't a loss, you know? They are a finite resource, and at some point a deep pool of assets will become pretty shallow.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Am I seeing that correctly, did they put Vatz on the left?

Don't know what to make of a Vatz - Holzer pairing, we'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Must be wrong. Why change Vatanen-Stoner now? They have been solid.

Yeah I know what you mean. What I meant was that lately I started to see it more from the losing-assets point of view rather than just Wagner. What is it, a year ago when BM was talking about all the bullets he had? A very little it amounted for.

Silfverberg is a stud.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

So who is going to play on the left side besides Cam and Stoner?

So the answer would be Vats and Silf?

Didn't they already play together early in the season and do fairly well? Can't remember which game it was, though.

It was the first game against Minnesota. I don't really remember how they did particularly. All I remember is the Koivu's line doing pretty much whatever they wanted... except score.

Hey, 3 not 33. You had me afraid for a moment that O'Brien was going to play.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

When last year ended, there were rumors Lindholm finished it while playing injured. One rumor mentioned a shoulder problem I believe. Of course our crack local media never followed up with Bob a week after he told us about Getzlaf and said he would tell more, if asked, in a week. But I wonder if Lindholm was injured and the team decided against surgery, which is now impacting him this year. As Andy Rooney would say...ya ever wonder?

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Dislocated shoulder reddit said no one will ever know though

Tampa is struggling big-time and we have finally started to turn the tide.

I'm gonna go ahead and predict a blow-out, 5-1.

Nah, make that 5-2, I expect a softie from Andersen.

 

[Getzmonster]

Hopefully Hammer's injury isn't serious, seems like he was just starting to get back on track and then this, not that I'm surprised, losing another key player right now is par for the course this season.

Vats got a game or two on the left side earlier this season IIRC, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him shift sides.


Anyhow, this is the battle of the Lauerplays, hopefully the refs swallow the whistles for the sake of my liver.

 

[Black Duck]

Go Ducks!

 

[2faded]

Hey, 3 not 33. You had me afraid for a moment that O'Brien was going to play.

Oops. My mistake, 3 not 33.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Seems like I stayed up until the game so... Go Ducks!

 

[Magnus the Duck]

Nah, make that 5-2, I expect a softie from Andersen.

It's Anderson that lets in the softies.

 

[Jack Bauer DAMNIT]

GODUX ! We are boned if Obrien plays

 

[Ducks DVM]

It looks like we are playing the Kings. Not a fan of those jerseys.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Wow, huge save

 

[heffbe]

What a save!

 

[Fighter]

Freddie with an UNREAL save

 

[bumperkisser]

freddy once again with ridiculous saves.. see we'll just mark this down as us being 1-0 for when the softy goes in

 

[Jack Bauer DAMNIT]

Ducks coming out strong keep it up. Nice save Fred. Stay awake

 

[Frosted Tips]

Well that was slightly unreal
