GDT: Winners vs Ducks 4PM PST, 7PM EST

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Chamberlain said there would be playoffs in our time.

I thought that was Wilt Chamberlain who said that.

 

[Sean Garrity]

The highlight of the night was me thinking that I was out of whiskey, but then realizing that I wasn't completely out of whiskey,

 

[IDuck]

The dumb ass will never call out his boy Bieksa though

say it getzlaf BB not the young guys who are trying to find there way in this game....yes they do deserve that, but i atleast understand there turnover's over getzlafs blind, through his legs drop pass in OT that lead to a breakaway game winner...and that isnt his only one....getzlaf is ROBBING this team right now, and IMO if your going to "blame" any player, you better blame him...also this is a bad bad quote from BB for so many reasons, make me think he is just about done.

 

[pbgoalie]

BB just lost me.
I understand there is frustration, but the peewee comment when
your stars are basically useless sucks.
Getzlaf must be wearing his helmet to dinner
Bieksa is auditioning to be a zamboni most nights
Lindholm looks like Bambi on the frozen pond

And he calls out two guys, who made mistakes for sure, but are at least
working every shift, and pretty much giving what's expected of them.

Gonna call guys peewees, can we start the KFC videos then?
Need Jim Schoenfeld to sum up Bruce

He didn't post the second part of the quote. It's not as bad as it reads.

[pbgoalie]

Don't think it makes it any better to be honest.

Of course, I'm so disgusted any way.
Watching the snowplow sliding around all the time while dragging Fowler
down might be wearing on me

 

[kducks]

19 SOG. The Kings just had more than that in one period, though I do take Staples SOG with a grain of salt having seen how they "count" in person.

I agree. This pisses me off. **** off Bruce.

 

[tANNERRRR54]

I truly don't even care about this team this season. Try not watching. It does wonders. This season is done and this team is only going to regress from here. So sad. One game away from the cup finals last year and now last in the league.

 

[George Binks]

I love Bruce's comments, hope to see more of them especially about Getzlaf. He knows his time is almost up so **** it

 

[Yeaoh]

You won't. There is a reason he ripped those two. Easier to blame them then the fat contract guys in a small market.

 

[mightyquack]

Delighted to see Sekac get rewarded by someone finally scoring one of his passes. That's his 27th moral victory assist of the season!

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

He's so awesome.

Manson and Sekac deserved what they got, folks. Without those two peewee mistakes we win the game. I'm surprised there's such a backlash but maybe I shouldn't be. Bieksa deserves it too, but . . . yeah whatever.

Road trip sumary: 1-2-1
GF: 6
GA: 12

Defense.

Also, GF/GP in Dec: 1.38

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Bruce should worry less about our young players and more about the guys who are supposed to be setting an example for this team. Yes I realize those were both brutal turnovers and he was probably responding to a direct question about them, but steer the focus and blame to where it really lies which is at the top.

I think it's a moot point now, Bruce doesn't make it the third week of January.

 

[Static]

I'd rather we just sucked the rest of the season and got some young talent and a hard look at the roster this offseason. What a sad chore it is to watch these headcases.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

bruce has called out the top players, he has called out everyone. he has been fair in his criticism's.

 

[Carelton CA]

I agree, he's been pretty honest when it comes to the problems after each game.

I would honestly like to know what is going on in the locker room. How is this dynamic so messed up right now. It almost appears to be no solution and no coming out of this without a change of scenery for Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler and Bieksa.

There was a shot of the bench in the OT last night, and Hagelin was in the shot with a face that said "screw you" and "how did I get here, I should be in New York". Bruce trucks the same guys out every OT with the same result. You want to send a message. Sit all the big names in OT and put out the guys who never get a chance.

This is the biggest mess in the NHL, second to none.

 

[snowave]

bruce has called out the top players, he has called out everyone. he has been fair in his criticism's.

I disagree. What has he said about Bieska? His general comments about "top players" needing to be better have been much more benign. The remark about Sekac and Manson was pretty harsh... yeah, they cost us the game, but it's one game. How many games have some of the other guys, like Getz cost us with stupid plays and little effort?

 

[Ducks DVM]

He called out the guys who actually lost the game with some pretty inexcusable plays, not long after he called out his top players for not being his top players and his starter for the last year for being soft when they were the reasons for losses. I'm not sure why people are offended by those quotes.

Because they're not the standard whipping boys around here.

Getz was a positive factor on both our goals. He's still awful, but he wasn't the reason we lost last night.

We are not last, we are 29th. Not only does this suck, but we traded our second round pick for Bieksa. So we gave up the 32nd pick in the draft as things stand now.
