GDT: #21 ⋅ ANA @ SEA ⋅ 7:00 PM PST

[Rybread86]

Cutter is the exact type of player we were missing in our cup runs.. if we had a cutter against Chicago in 2015. We would have another cup

Some say we needed a guy like Vermette, some say scorer, but I will always maintain that we needed a true #1 dman

I still believe Leo and Cutter will work together one day. Both just need to adapt their timing to this level of play.

Tough to have a 19 year old sophomore and a 21 year old rookie playing top line minutes ….. they will be on a line soon enough.

Would put them together at least on the PP as soon as Leo gets back. Still like to see Gauthier cook on that 3rd line and get more NHL games under his belt.

 

[Rybread86]

Man, there are stretches where this team looks like they could actually be in a playoff race. Just too much inconsistency. Need to finish this one off strong

I felt like Z and cutter were playing really well together in their time.... just didnt get any points (both guys were kinda snake bitten)... i guess long term its prob who fits better with Sennecke... but in theory you can do something like

Gauthier Carlsson Terry
McTavish Zegras Sennecke
(or go 3 lines)

We're winning the shots (CORSI) metric after two. The extra shots have contributed to more goals. We have given Gibby goal support, now Gibby needs to shut down the Kraken in the third. I'd like to see the Ducks limit the Kraken to 6 SOG's or fewer in the third.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Gauthier could be the best pure shooter weve had in a long time.

I still f***ing hate Dallas for breaking Robidas leg the year before ….. think we might win that one too.

Start of the 2nd was rough, but turned it around as the period went on

 

[Boo Boo]

Dam that reel of mctavish absolutely sonning krakens young dmen around the boards- really wish we could just keep him at the wing for a little bit

 

[slippingsloth]

Overall played very solid tonight. Just have to not implode like we have the last two games

 

[Leonardo87]

Still have one more period. Try and go for the 5th goal and don’t turtle.

Good thing leason got us a bunch by whacking at that rebound like 5 times on the powerplay

Yeah I can’t remember having a player quite like him/his style. I knew he was highly touted but I’ve been very impressed with him this year. He’s going to be a stud.

I’m praying to be up by 3 goals or more late in the period. Have a feeling kraken are going to cross the line somehow again but this time we will be ready.

We needed a 3C instead of Rakell.

Chicago got Vermette, we got to watch Chicago beat Tampa to death.

I thought we lacked another OFD too

 

[robbieboy3686]

We needed a 3C instead of Rakell.

Chicago got Vermette, we got to watch Chicago beat Tampa to death.

We needed Crawford not to play way above his head. He beat us

 

[Deuce22]

I feel a Leonardo coming. I hope I’m wrong. Keep skating and hitting.

And weren't they only able to get Vermette and his salary because Kane was on the LTIR until coming back miraculously for the playoffs?

 

[robbieboy3686]

Man are we going to just laugh about our luck out in landing cutter for glassdale. Funniest part is, that Bob Murray came to scout glassdale and liked what he saw enough for the flyers to trade cutter to us. Little good karma back from Murray to the organization

 

[Ducks DVM]

How about setting up Cutter on the PP perhaps half as much as they do Vatrano?

Vatrano has 25 PP shot attempts and 13 shots, Gauthier has 23 PP shot attempts and 11 shots.

They pretty much do.

Before it gets too late, and since its almost Thanksgiving, just want to say I'm grateful for you guys and this board. Makes the game a lot more interesting.

Likewise to you and to all!
