GDT: #61 ⋅ ANA @ VAN ⋅ 7:30 PM PST

Well that dive was the defenseman Elias Pettersson but you're probably still right.

I gotta appreciate the comedy of a team dressing three guys with the same last name, none of which are related and two of them share the same first name too.

Good couple of shifts to end the period at least. Carry that over so Gibby doesn't have to drag you.

im too stoned to keep up with all the pettersons.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Not watching, but 17 SOG against in a period doesn't seem good

Not a great period but got a good tip by Colangelo to score. Hopefully we come out better in the 2nd.

 

[Wheatens]

Iffy start, but had some good shifts going later on.

Kid lines are the best right now. Terry line had one good shift. Our fourth line is just a pure 'warm bodies' line right now.

Despite the shot totals, it wasn't that dangerous from the Canucks. Ducks on the other hand only had dangerous bounces around the net what little they did have.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Can't turtle this one out got to get more shots on net.

Share the wealth!

I was pushing to keep Fabbri but now I’m more in the camp of 4th line or trade. Colangelo needs to stay on that line. That could be a line for the next decade for us.

Etem is so much more natural on a podcast than his weird broadcaster persona.

I don’t dislike him as a broadcaster really. Passionate and tries hard. Was a player before so gets how the games played at the highest level. Is he different? For sure but he doesn’t bother me.

We are playing with fire. Except our PK unit does play with fire in a good way. Van is missing their best player. We should be taking it to them instead of trying to repeat the Buffalo or Chicago games.

It wasn’t pretty but we survived. Let’s pray we find our legs here.

That speaks volumes about where VAN is right now.

I had to listen to the Chicago game on the radio due to being on a drive the other day, I thought he sounded a bit better than last year or even earlier this year. I do think he is getting better. But yeah, He is very natural and actually seems to pull good interaction out of players, definitely would love more of that.

Just try for a couple shifts switching Killorn and Terry. See what happens. It can’t hurt! Although I’ve liked Killorn lately.

Gibson did his part. Hopefully we stabilize with the end of first going into second.

This vacillation between sabres/hawks quality games and prior van/edm games is so stressful. Meaningful games at least.?.?

 

[ReptilianQuack]

The Parade continues

 

[KelVarnsen]

Damn you stroke

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I was watching the Goal Visualizer on NHL.com and didn't realize it was LaCombe's diagonal, cross-ice pass to Mac. From there it was the youth line in the Ozone while Gudas-LaCombe got off the ice and Minty-Trouba barely getting onto the ice when Colangelo tipped the puck in for the goal.

Bone head Strome

I really like Strome but he can be very dumb
