You didn't list Draisaitl, is he not playing tonight?

I did list him.

Is "momentum killing drop passes" gonna be playing today?

I'm sure he'll make an appearance or three.

 

[Frosted Tips]

I expect great things

 

[MMC]

Maybe one of the chandeliers will fall on the ice and this game will get cancelled

 

[robbieboy3686]

We need to stay healthy and lose a bunch of games in a row. Force verbeek stubborn hand. I knew I hated him when he went on a podcast talking about how he loves
Hunting some form of birds, peasants I believe or quails. Anyways f him

 

[Frosted Tips]

Gonna skip this one due to early wake up for work travel. May the hockey gods be gentle to all of you Ducks fans who watch this...

We're moving onto Phantom of the Opera tropes now?

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Did Gudas ever return to the game after hurting his leg?

We might see all of Helleson/Lacombe/Mintyukov/Zell playing at once for the first time

He needs a vacation

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

We’ve played good periods against good teams a few times this season. Could happen again today! Might even be enough, who knows. I just want to see hockey that isn’t bad and boring. It’s rare that these games are early enough that I can watch with my daughter and it’d be nice if the team showed her some justification as to why I spend so much of my energy following how they do.

Naw, this is the game the players start to lay down.

Draisatil hat trick incoming

He went to being by far our best dman last season. To our worst. I really think we will hear that he has been playing injured all season. When you’re injured your intensity also takes a bit hit. And that’s what’s been clear as well, his intensity isn’t there because he isn’t all there

Yes he was on the bench.

At the very least, could be a good opportunity to teach her of the follies of sports fandom!

 

[WhyVerbeekWhy]

Every time a drop pass is missed, a Getzlaf gets his wings.

 

[All Mighty]

So does Dostal go again or does Clang debut against the Oilers?

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Gave up tornado coverage yesterday. Just came in from putting up barbed wire fencing. Think the fencing would be a less painful option.

 

[Rooch]

Have to feel like this is a pivot point for Cronin. If we go out and poop the bed again, I don't see how he can continue to be the coach. The experiment is over. He didn't get it done.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Zellweger scratched?

I can’t believe I’m saying this because I love this team but I hope the Oilers hang 10 on us today. Force the issue. Rip the bandaid off

 

[hockey webcomics]

Guess who has two thumbs and is ready to get PISSED?

Cronin clearly won’t scratch vets, and Helleson and LaCombe definitely don’t deserve scratches, so he’s the odd man out to get Minty back in for a game. He also did get blown by yesterday for the second goal against.
