Well if zegras has a good game, get ready for Montreal trade threads

A good game to Ducks fans or to everyone else? 0 points: "He didn't get on the score sheet but he had a strong defensive game and had some good looks that would go in on any other night if their goalie wasn't Hasek reincarnated. I'm good with his game tonight." Bottom-3 offense in the league several years in a row is a hell of a drug.

So why is this so early?

 

[Ducks DVM]

So why is this so early?

Old Canadian superstition. If a Montreal Canadien scores after 5PM on Groundhog Day, it’s an extra 365 days of winter.

"May you live in interesting times" is a curse, right?

So Minty gets bitch slapped in the last game and then gets bitch slapped out of the lineup? Brutal.

 

[anezthes]

So Minty gets bitch slapped in the last game...

I didn't know you could do that, by the way. No disciplinary hearing?

This lineup is something

Edit : Z and McT both have had success with Strome and Vats….. so unless McT is going to be longterm on the wing of Leo, why do this for one game once Terry comes back.

 

[duckaroosky]

I mean, if the jerseys were reversed there would likely be a suspension.

[Boo Boo]

Strome is NOT more valuable at center than zegras is

 

[TheDarkWingThatDucks]

Very apropos

 

[Hockey Duckie]

"May you live in interesting times" is a curse, right?

I'd prefer Mac with Vatrano-Strome and leave Zegras with Carlsson.

 

[la patineuse]

I fixed the link, but that reaction is about right.

If you haven’t seen the movie groundhog’s day, today would be a good day to watch it.

Its one of my all time favorites

A man of fine taste

 

[anezthes]

Cutter on the 4th?

 

[MCB]

What did cutter do to deserve this? Kicked Cronins dog?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

How do you have cutter on 4th…. With Ross frickin Johnston

 

[AngelDuck]

Verbeek has a lot of debris on this roster that has to be upgraded. Most of the bottom 6

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Ross Johnston playing, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
