Matinee Black Friday game is still far and away the dumbest tradition this team has. Don’t people work?

I worked overnights for a while…. These games were the best for me…. Was my favorite game of the year.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Really appreciate the starting time. Just brought home wife with our 2nd kid (straight from the hospital) tho, so I hope everyone sleeps well in this (freshly expanded) household so I can watch

Congrats on #2!

 

[Kalv]

Thank you all for the well wishes

Thank you all for the well wishes

Enjoy the new little one! May they sleep through every night for you, amen.

If they don't, I will make them watch any of the first ~15 games of this season and done deal

 

[Arthuros]

I'm not used to watching Ducks at work very often.

A different flavour of unproductivity?

 

[Terry Yake]

didn't they always play chicago the day after thanksgiving?

That will actually put them to sleep. I know it has for me!

I realized I had nothing to drink during the game, and then my two nearest liquor stores didn't have what I wanted. Headed down the road to McT's hometown and found some stock. We are all good now

I this infinity

I really hope this isn’t the beginning of the overplaying Gibson thing.

The best thing for Gibson and the Ducks is if he gets less than 50% of the starts. Not a knock on him, it’s just the reality of his durability

He just came out on the ice and skated to the box

Not sure why you wouldn’t just keep alternating goalies, unless Dostal is nicked up.

Going with the “hot hand” I suppose.

I just really hope they don’t see Gibson as the dominant starter that HAS to get 60% of the starts or something. It’s stupid

 

[All Mighty]

I had no idea Portillo was Swedish.

Surprised that Dostal isn't getting the start, but I understand riding the hot hand. Gibby pitching a shutout on five PK's with a 0.955 Sv% would make me want to ride him today. Then Dostal gets Ottawa on Dec 1st.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Same haha. I was like wut

 

[Ducks DVM]

Please please please shoot at this keeper. He’s bad.

 

[duckaroosky]

Cronin already looks confused, that's not good

 

[AngelDuck]

Pepper this guy. Should be able to get 3-4 goals today
