Another powerplay goal for Sam Jose. Musty again. No structure in this PK. Dudes just running around.

 

[HanSolo]

Myatovic in particular just running around like a decapitated chicken looking for someone to cover.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Smith fighting Hache

Kid stepped up to that wannabe bully who tried to pick a fight with one of our smaller guys earlier

 

[HanSolo]

Dionicio has been looking shaky in the third.

 

[Boo Boo]

Sorry but right now gauthier looks so mid

 

[HanSolo]

Sidorov and Pastujov pissed off.

 

[HanSolo]

Sorry but right now gauthier looks so mid

I'd say he's been our best forward...I mean that's what you expect and he could be better but still

 

[HanSolo]

Gautimid with a couple nice defensive plays to stop the Sharks from countering on the PK. Powerplay was pretty ass but what else is new?

 

[HanSolo]

Lol Gauthier almost yanked a Shark helmet first (by the jersey) into the boards when the Shark player started throwing shoves.

 

[HanSolo]

This is rough man.

Luneau and Dionicio are the only decent pairing and both have made some super questionable decisions with the puck.

 

[HanSolo]

Sidorov and some Sharks kid wrassling

 

[cheesymc]

Ducks coaching showing zero strategy or tactics, just sloppy hustle/individual plays and no clean passing and support. Mirroring the blowouts that we are going to be seeing most games this season at the NHL and AHL levels. Continuing to reiterate organizational incompetence from top down.

 

[Boo Boo]

I'd say he's been our best forward...I mean that's what you expect and he could be better but still

Yeah I mean he’ll thrive as a shooter for Leo soon so I don’t want to bury him too much but as the skill player on a line he has frustrated me

 

[HanSolo]

Musty is murdering us.

 

[AngelDuck]

Yeah I mean he’ll thrive as a shooter for Leo soon so I don’t want to bury him too much but as the skill player on a line he has frustrated me

He’s not a play driver at all.

Fans are going to be really disappointed if they think he’s going to be some great possession player

He’ll thrive with good centers

I truly cannot see where any coaching is coming from. Looks like the Ducks are playing a pick up game put together at the last minute. Sharks look like they have some structure.

 

[HanSolo]

At least that was sick by Sidorov.

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Well, that was a nice play for a goal.

 

[All Mighty]

Lmao I thought Warren really screwed up that pass but Sidorov came from off screen and took it and scored.

 

[cheesymc]

These commentators are unbearable.

Down 1-3:
“This is the most competitive and exciting prospect tournament I’ve ever seen”

Down 1-7:
“Well, a few more minutes of this before we can forget about this one… anything positive at all to take from this?”

 

[HanSolo]

All right so I think the whole team looked bad and it's hard to give much individual praise.

I thought this was a less impactful game for Luneau. He didn't look as hungry to make an impact on every inch of the ice but he looked solid in his own zone for his own part. Still our best defenseman but a lot more rookie errors tonight.

I thought this was a better all around game for Gauthier. Yeah he will thrive better as a complimentary player for a top 6 center but I thought he was one of our more consistent forwards and the best forward defensively.

Sidorov is probably the second most impressive forward overall. I don't think his skill play is going to translate right to the NHL right away and he'll need AHL time but his commitment to two way play and forechecking is commendable.

Pastujov is still playing a responsible but unremarkable game. He makes clean passes and is willing to battle along the boards but he was rarely involved in creating any dangerous chances.

Colangelo was fine. He didn't do anything great but he wasn't as much of a turnover machine as he was in the last game.

Dionicio is still raw. He's got good skill and good wheels but his defensive awareness is not where you'd hope it'd be. And there were a handful of times his hands worked faster than his brain with unforced turnovers.

Butyets was shaky. He seemed to physically panic almost every time the Sharks were well set up to get pucks to the net. Not every goal was his fault but there were a good 4 goals he could and should have had.

It's too many guys but the prospects that stepped in for their first game tonight were all mediocre to bad (the fourth line in particular sucked ass)

Warren still looks like he's very far from the NHL. He doesn't defend well, he doesn't play offense well, and even the physical element of his game was lacking.

Outside of a couple nice passes, Myatovic looked lost a lot both on offense and defense. I think maybe you can chalk that up to coaching or nerves, but he didn't do much to impress me.

Terrance has good hustle but you can tell he's a project. Very inconsistent decision making.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

He’s not a play driver at all.

Fans are going to be really disappointed if they think he’s going to be some great possession player

He’ll thrive with good centers

Yeah. He’s a sniper, he’s not a dominant player.

For the game, I liked the attitude, I liked that they didn’t quit, didn’t like much else.

We don’t need another possession player, need a player who can snipe and bury goals, and is responsible on defense, and is physical . Gauthier fits that bill.

 

[AngelDuck]

I’m not criticizing him even or saying we need him to be a possession player.

There are some people here that I think are thinking he’s something he’s not though

Clappers from the top of the circle. It's all I require
