The only way you can lose in this tournament is to have a player get injured.

It's impossible to say if a player is even having a truly poor performance because for all we know, the coaches are asking them to work on something they know they are specifically bad at.

I'd still rather win

 

[gunnergunther]

we suck again?

 

[Ducks DVM]

That was easy to see coming

Are we watching the same game? We've had control of the puck in the Kings' zone for probably 85% of the last 20 minutes. George (their goalie) is playing really well.

 

[gunnergunther]

good scrap

good scrap

Excellent scrap! Weibe can throw em

 

[ScarTroy]

Who was an actual traffic cone there?

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Clarke is a really impressive skater

The forward made a bad pass, the next forward was late coming back and the defenseman was forced to leave the guy alone. It looked bad all the way down the ice.

Clarke is a really impressive skater

Its funny cause isnt that everyone criticism of him?

 

[slippingsloth]

just got home, how are the kids looking against the kings ?

To be honest, maybe he isn't an impressive skater but just had an impressive skating sequence

just got home, how are the kids looking against the kings ?

I'd say we have controlled 60-65% of the game, the Kings' goalie is either A) playing out of his mind or B) we are missing shots, it's too hard to tell from this camera angle. Maybe a bit of both

 

[Ducks DVM]

I am annoyed that they can’t get both point men in camera at the same time.

I think the camera crew must be rookies too. Some pretty funny decisions, like moving the camera down the ice ahead of the actual players lol

 

[MMC]

how have the invites been?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Great save

Shit defense

Also, it’s beyond me why the team felt that moving on to Etem was a positive thing.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

how have the invites been?

More competent than the usual invites honestly, but not sure its enough for a contract.

 

[HanSolo]

He might actually be the worst color guy I've listened to. I don't understand how someone who played the game professionally can have such a high volume of shit takes so quickly.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I do like Pitre’s motor

Woohoo

 

[Ducks DVM]

GI?

 

[Hockey Duckie]

PP goal to tie the game by Pitre with apples by Blais with a cross-ice pass and Luneau.

The PP itself was abysmal. It took Luneau rushing into the Ozone with wreckless abandon after the puck was pushed out of the Ozone and Ducks line changes. Luneau went 1v3 entering the Ozone, losing the puck initially and the puck found his stick again. With new PP players on the ice, Luneau dished the puck to the right side to Blais and Blais immediately made a cross-ice pass to Pitre. Pitre skated towards the middle of the ice and launched the puck through the Portillo for the goal.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

We got another PP opportunity, but it was another wasted 2 minutes. Pasta did have a controlled entry, but no other Duck made themselves available for a passing outlet. Luneau was meh, but that was because we have no structure on the PP as he was forced to carry the puck into the OZone. We never really established possession in the Ozone.

Regulation is a tie game.

 

[HanSolo]

Lmao Greentree fumbles the puck at the blueline with no pressure and still with no pressure, goes back to collect a puck that was barely moving

Etem: now that's first line talent being able to recover that quickly!

Like sometimes I feel like he's just trolling or he talks before he thinks.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Feel bad for the goalie

 

[HanSolo]

Well. Not a fun way to lose.
