Whenever I saw Leo in this game, he was a turnover machine. Like in the worst Killorn games. What happened.

I didn't see the whole game tho

He was bad overall, but he did make some great plays.

He’s fighting it. Insane skill still but his timing seems way off this season.

Just because @duckaroosky isn't here:

Where did he come from?
Where did he go?
Where did he come from?
Jackson Lacombe!

I'm laughing at the slowest breakaway in OT ever by Killorn. It was at such a glacial pace that the ref skating backwards had to slow down so he could stay with the play.

2 points are 2 points though

 

[Rybread86]

Still no idea how that GT interference call went against Mac on his goal.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

That scorecard looks very odd. How does Lacombe score a goal and an assist at ES play, but the GF column has zero listed? How does that work GF work with the scorecard?

And one other point about the Plus/Minus rating for this game. LaCombe wasn't on the ice when we got scored on at ES play.

Goal Against #1: PP goal. Yeah, LaCombe was on it.
Goal Against #2: ES goal. Minty-Trouba were on the ice.
Goal Against #3: ES goal. Dumo-Gudas were on the ice.

ESPN and NHL.com have LaCombe listed as a +1 rating. Shouldn't LaCombe have a +2 rating?
Goal #1: ES assist (secondary, but a breakout pass) concluding with a Mac goal
Goal #3: 6v5 goal

Also on goal #2, by Killorn, the Ducks had full possession in the Ozone and had several shots. LaCombe punctually switches out around the 35-40 sec mark and Zell comes in his place. Zell makes one pass, the puck moves around, and seconds later we score. Zell was on the ice for the goal, but LaCombe-Gudas tilted the ice on that shift and LaCombe had a heavy one-timer blocked. You can see on NHL.com's EDGE | Goal Visualizer when LaCombe is getting off the ice and Zell is on the ice for Goal #2 by Killorn.

Why are people unhappy with Gibby making 39/42 saves?

Is he staying as a tandem? Is he showcasing for a trade? Until he starts well more than Dostal who cares if they are the only 2 on the team routinely keeping us in games

When Gibby came back, it was a 2:1 ratio for Gibby to Dostal starts in 12 games. The last four games, They have altered starts evenly.

Gibby did make a wholatta saves today. What kind of saves? Here's Natural Stat Trick for the help:

• CORSI % (or SAT%): Ducks 55, Jackets 68
• Shots: Ducks 25, Jackets 37
• Scoring Chances: Ducks 30, Jackets 34
• High Danger Chances: Ducks 13, Jackets 17

I read the board first before watching the game. Woof, that officiating was worse on the screen than the reporting. It felt like the Jackie's could get away with anything if you do it to Mac and Gibby. How can you call GI on Gibby, but swallow GI twice when the Jackie's do it?! Thank goodness for our video guys to get that PP goal against taken away on the off-side call!!! Killorn... you beautiful hired gun who only is good on the offensive side of things. Finally, LaCombe is still producing points and has been our best scoring D with 4g + 2a in the past six games.

With 4 days off, I don't mind watching the replay of this win again. Granted we struggled to play against a sub.-500 team AND the refs. Still... Yay 4 points! Here's the belated Sweetness.

 

[Rybread86]

I know people love to hate Killer but he's been playing a lot better lately. Hopefully that's a trend that continues

 

[2faded]

I thought Gauthier looked great tonight. Wasn't fumbling the puck like usual and was skating with confidence.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

The hate he gets is over the top. His struggles are a massive exaggeration. Most of this board hates everything though.

Someone had to fill Fowlers shoes.

 

[Hey234]

Finally a win. LaCombe had a great game and I thought Carlsson played better. Fabbri is noticeable when he's on the ice. Gauthier is the real deal. McTavish had his best game in awhile. What a joke that McTavish interference penalty. Absolutely embarrassing call by the refs.

It's nice to see Killorn score, but his play through most of the game was poor. His play has slightly improved recently but he still objectively kills many plays, fumbles the pucks, misses the net, etc... Scoring periodically helps, sure, but he doesn't do the things that I would want younger players to mimic. He's bad.

Also, Cronin still needs to go. It's time.

 

[GermanRocket7]

Just watching the highlights...the goaltender interference call on the first goal has to be the worst call in the league ever. How the f*** do the zebras get away with atrocities like that time and again?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Agreed on Killorn.

And yeah i thought Leo wasn't good, and the game stat card kind of bears that out. What do you think he did well tonight? I can only recall like one good chance he had.

Carlson hurt his wrist to when he got hurt. I'm sure it's still bothering him
