And are currently down 3-1 to Chicago.

Pears starting the season off on the right foot.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Everyone needs to take a deep breath lol. The Oilers lost 6-0 or whatever in their opening, it's going to take a minute to get going.

Very true haha.

Let’s see if Leo shows up in the 3rd. Sometimes he’ll play bad for two periods and then turns it up just enough to produce

 

[Boo Boo]

Stromes going to have a goal and an assist in the 3rd

 

[HanSolo]

Sure, sure, any given sunday and all that. I’m not making season predictions, just saying, this roster is bad and needs to play well to have a chance and right now it isn’t doing that.

Well yes. But I don't think it's an any given Sunday thing as much as the team lost a roll of consistent games and got a week off for no good reason aside from scheduling idiocy. Anaheim should be better than this team for sure. But I'm not drawing conclusions based on tonight. And I'm pretty vocally in favor of Cronin being given as short a leash as possible.

He set up the team's best chance of the game tbf. Cutter would've scored if not for getting hooked by Smith.

Also we are starving for a physical forechecking shift

Ahlers has aged quickly.

Ahlers has aged quickly.

It’s that sunshine from seasons ending prior to the playoffs and spending June on the beach

Hazy and Johnny don’t wear suits anymore. Noticed this during the preseason, too. They’ve switched to quarter-zips under blazers. I assume it’s a management mandate. Or maybe they rebelled.

Maybe Bally had a rule?

I like the second option.

Comes with the territory of being a Ducks fan these years.

 

[HanSolo]

After a preseason of you know who, Hazy and Ahlers are a breath of fresh air.

Never thought about him drinking during the game. Would explain the worsening memory lapses for player names

Been going on for years.

Why is the faceoff coming outside of the zone? NHL refs are something else

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Mac keeps on bulldozing and had a shark take out his own netminder on a Mac rush.

 

[Boo Boo]

I wonder if lacombe is the only ill person on the team or if there are a few others?

 

[HanSolo]

We need a dedicated faceoff coach

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I like the second option.

The Hazy looking old comment made me think of it. These guys are both in their 60s now. Maybe everyone decided a more modern look was in order.

What’s vermette doing these days?

 

[Mr Rogers]

Dostals composure is really something else

 

[slippingsloth]

What’s vermette doing these days?

Yeah no kidding.

 

[Ducks DVM]

More shots, Terry

 

[la patineuse]

That was bad Zellweger.
