GDT: #56 ⋅ ANA @ DET ⋅ 3:00 PM PST

[190Octane]

We really haven’t seen Trouba Time yet, now would be a fun time to see it.

 

[Wheatens]

Refs losing control.

 

[mightyquack]

Let me go find my tiny violin

Do we find that for Vatrano too?

 

[Ducks DVM]

should at least be a roughing call on chiarot

Roughing, elbowing, interference, illegal hit to the head, intent to injure, take your pick. Absolutely ZERO reason for Chiarot to be arguing about being called.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Detroit is willing us to get back into this game! Whatever Vatrano did, he's drawn two calls. The second call was painful. And the redwing that delivered the blow raised both hands up like he didn't know what happened? We got video. Crazy!

 

[Tecumseh]

Completely disagree with Hazy, good on Terry for answering that

It’s always better to respond to a cheap shot like that and risk a penalty than to not defend your player so you get a powerplay

 

[ADHB]

LMAO evened up. Chiarot 2 mins for roughing... for drilling a guy to the ice with a high cheap shot after the whistle.

 

[duckaroosky]

The best part of all that was the pearl clutching the Red Wings fans were doing on the main boards about Zegras and now they all got whiplash as soon as they hit post on their predictable "dirty ducks" comments

Terry has clearly watched film on Johnston and learned his craft from the master.

If we were good on the PP, I'd be more annoyed with Terry jumping in there. But considering they just gave up another shorthanded breakaway with this crap 5-forward unit they insist on running, I'd rather try and send the message.

He’s been calm. To much so for my liking.

 

[190Octane]

Basically we just traded Chiarot for Terry and gained nothing after that cheap shot.

If it’s still a 2 goal deficit late, go head hunting.

Yes.

McTavish on a point is just a special level of idiocy.

 

[mightyquack]

What's the point in having Zellweger if he isn't going to get the chunk of PP minutes? The 5 forward PP group is a f***ing stupid idea.

 

[Terry Yake]

i really need to know if other teams are constantly on the receiving end of absolute horseshit reffing as often as the ducks are

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Also, why did LaCombe get demoted from PP duty when it looked like he was starting to figure it out? Are they trying to manage his minutes with PK duty?

 

[KelVarnsen]

Even’d up is laughable. Wings have received the benefit of the calls and non calls for years. Never change NHL.

It's actually so pathetic

 

[KelVarnsen]

Because we have the NHL’s worst coaching staff. All of them are way substandard.

Because this coaching staff is allergic to offense.

Old time hockey?

Put your stick in his side, let him know you’re there. Gotta set the tone.

Traditionally Boston, unless they’re playing us

All the goodwill the NHL got from 4nations gets ruined with shit like that. You're not going to grow the game when places like Boston and Detroit are held to different standard and not called for penalties because they're O6. They're just pandering to the already spoiled hockey fans of those teams.
