GDT: #31 ⋅ COL @ ANA ⋅ 7:00 PM PST

[duckaroosky]

jesus, CO played last night and they're totally out-skating us.

They're at a lower altitude

 

[slippingsloth]

Special teams needs workkkkkkk

 

[Mr Rogers]

The Avs keyed in on Vatrano on the PP. Not a guy who should have the puck other than when he’s shooting it.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Hazy commented that our PP lost us momentum instead of giving us momentum. We here call it the Power Kill. We went 0 for 5 on the PP.

 

[hockey webcomics]

not a bad game at all but we're not in a position to celebrate good losing games

 

[la patineuse]

I'll repeat: Colorado has the 25th worst penalty kill.

The Ducks are here to help with that stat.

Special teams needs workkkkkkk

The entire coaching staff needs to be replaced this guy klune is a hack like old man Cronin and the other old man

 

[Tecumseh]

You’ll never be a serious team with a power play like that. Realistically a competent PP wins us this game easily

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

We have like 2 good forwards. Tough to score even if your power play knows what it’s doing.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Not often you can say that your power play loses you a game, but certainly can tonight.

Actually think we were the better team 5v5, and not by a close margin.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Man that last sequence was just baffling, even for us that was disjointed

If the players gotta own responsibility, they should just take control of their own system. Having two guys 75 feet flatfooted behind the puck carrier is just hilarious strategy

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Are they f***ing allergic to goalie screens or what? Why the f*** is difficult for this dumb ass team to the most simple things on the pp

 

[robbieboy3686]

Cozens>Mact

Fired Newell Brown and PP zone entries somehow got worse, Rich Clune needs to be studied

Nah fired . Next!!!

 

[MMC]

If the opponent scores 5 goals we should make anyone wearing their jersey eat a Popeyes biscuit before they’re let out

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Kings PP%: 18 for 86 (15.12%) before tonight
Ducks PP%: 18 for 86 (15.12%) before tonight

Oh well. At least we tried to move on from mediocrity. It was just a lateral move. At least we can all laugh that the Kings purposely hired Brown!

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

If Verbeek isn’t going to trade Gibby, we need to go back to giving Dostal the majority of starts. This is still a development year and he needs to play 50+ games to see how he handles it. Giving Gibby the majority of starts accomplishes nothing for this team’s future.

 

[FlyingV09]

Our PP entries are hilariously bad.

The whole idea behind the bump back is to enter the offensive zone with speed and catch the defenders standing still. They execute way too slow. It’s way too easy to defend. The puck carrier is always skating way too slow and his options are just standing at the blue line.

They turn it over and do the same thing over and over, game after game. The definition of insanity.

Not to mention, Dostal is better.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Why the f*** is strome even in the pp? They gotta put colangelo in his spot...

I get the same energy from gibby that I did with cam. They don’t want to be here, I have a feeling with the back to Back Sunday/monday and then a back to back after the Christmas break on the 28th/29th after these Back to back we may be more ready to deal sourpuss Gibson finally

Colangelo scratched for Johnston and Harkins.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Colangelo scratched for Johnston and Harkins.

He’s not scratched, he’s in SD where the Gulls ALSO got waxed by Colorado tonight.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

I swear we need to drain the swamp of the ducks admin
