[Ducks DVM]

Well, we started with 2 straight minutes of hit being completely incompetent.

Baby steps.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Getting outshot 2 to 1...I am so tired of half a decade of this shit. The way Leo and Minty are being developed is ghastly

 

[Ducks DVM]

How is that not evened up?

 

[AngelDuck]

I mean these are all bottom 20, second round or even third round guys. Of course I want forward development in this organization to improve top to bottom but they were long shots/projects to begin with. I don't know that I'd call it bad drafting necessarily.

The 4 players I mentioned (Perreault/Tracey/Gaucher/Myatovic) were all top 34 picks and all look like complete busts.

That’s objectively bad drafting to not get 1 roster player out of those 4 which looks possible at this juncture

If Pastujov or Sidorov don’t pan out it’s not bad drafting.

That’s my point. We’re now relying on the 3rd/4th rounders to pull off a miracle and pan out because we went 0/4 on the late 1sts we acquired

[Ducks DVM]

That was not much of a boarding to where that shouldn’t have been evened up.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Coming from the guy whose only solution to the offense problem is just shoot the puck moah, I really f***ing doubt he's well versed in analytics.

Paragraph above related to Verbeek, not Cronin. I’ve made my thoughts clear about Greg at this point (honestly, he should have been one-and-done when he decided to check out with 20 games left last year; that’s malpractice of the highest order)

 

[duckaroosky]

So guess its ok to body slam our players to the ground now

 

[anezthes]

Oh, we're back to this ****, huh...

 

[ff8]

Someone just body the ref please

 

[ADHB]

When do we stop playing Canadian teams? Amazing how the uneven reffing against these teams never changes even after 20 years.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I think they should have left Zegras with Carlsson. These lines have zero chemistry.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Such an obvious penalty not called.

 

[Ducks DVM]

So Strome gets boarded, then blatantly interfered with, and they finally call that shit hold.

O6 officiating is such a positive thing for the sport.

 

[duckaroosky]

Maybe Johnston can hug someone again to show that we are the softest team in the league so go ahead and take runs at our guys

 

[DucksFanDFW]

This is that California reffing we always hear about. They are just trying to keep us 5 on 5 so we don't give up another shorty.

 

[anezthes]

Crash net. Score goal. Simple. See if understand.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I was screaming at the officials a lot there, if anyone heard anything lol

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Damn. Two good, big fat rebounds on the PP and no puck luck!

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

We need a guy that can just sit by the goal and cash in reboundss.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Well, there were teo good rebound opportunities that PP at least.

 

[anezthes]

Crash net. Score goal. Simple. See if understand.

Nope.

 

[AngelDuck]

So bad

Just nothing interesting happening

 

[Lord Flashheart]

10 SOG before mid-point, amazing.

 

[AngelDuck]

Lundestrom just has zero offensive flair

 

[Ducks DVM]

Strome is playing angry at least. Too much hair to go full Getzlaf though I think.
