GDT: #32 ⋅ ANA @ UTA ⋅ 2:00 PM PST

I really hate how Ahlers calls them “the hockey club.”

He just said “the hockey club heads the other way”. It just doesn’t sound good. Call them Utah instead of “the hockey club”.

I hope they pick a name before next year!

The "Utah THC" haha

 

[slippingsloth]

You joke, but I have watched every game so far this season. I know that getting clean shots on goal on odd man rushes has been a real sore spot. I am really trying to remember the last 2-1 or 3-2 we scored cleanly on the entry/attack

Fantastic Fabbri

 

[Hockey Duckie]

We scored on a transition! What a lazer by Fabbri!

No Dump & Chase! No Dump & Chase! No Dump & Chase!

LaCombe has been on it early both defensively and offensively. On the Fabbri goal, LaCombe caused the turnover just inside the blueline on the attacking forward. Fabbri stole the odd pass and pushed it to Mac. Mac waited for Fabbri to break ahead and got it to him. Also on the break was LaCombe on the opposite wing of Fabbri on the rush to create that 2v1 situation.

Do they have a smaller arena? Watching on the Utah feed. Feels like a small arena, or something seems odd about the place

Yeah. It is. About 2/3ds size of the league since it is the Jazz arena retrofitted.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Great setup pass by Fabbri there to Gauthier

 

[HanSolo]

Good shift overall for Gauthier. Every time he touched the puck he did something positive with it and had a good forechecking recovery.

One of the ends of the arena obstructs the view of the ice, the way the old Phoenix arena did.

Makes sense Tyty

 

[Ducks DVM]

This should go well

 

[HanSolo]

I spoke too soon. Dumb penalty to cap all the good stuff off. Oh well.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Of course we go on the pk.

Our lackluster pk va their hot pp.

I’m sure it’ll be fine.

I see what you did there. Don’t compliment our players.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Lundestrom good job fighting to win the faceoff. But if a fail that we didn’t recover it.

I try to balance my negativity with praise when it's deserved. I thought his shift was over though and posted that as he was taking a penalty.

The mistake is verbalizing it so others can hear/read . I just thought it..so it ain’t my fault

 

[duckaroosky]

Good kill

Remember when you were banned from the GDT’s?

Look at the movement on that Utah PP. There wasn't a single second where ANY of the 5 guys were standing still. Why is that so hard for Ducks players to do.

 

[HanSolo]

Why is their "penalty over" sound the Law and Order "gavel" sound?

I banned myself

Back from the dead gong?

Good puck movement there. Decent save by Stauber

 

[Wheatens]

Ooo that was nice play by Dumo.
