GDT: #66: Ducks Have A "Game" vs Preds 7:00 PM PDT

[HanSolo]

Powerplay was so ass til those last 30 seconds

 

[AngelDuck]

Ok, that's too far. He just can't be allowed to handle it.

I guess. I personally think he’s a 3rd line guy who should kill penalties and be a depth scorer. Nothing against him

 

[Static]

The offensive blueline is like the gravel in field of dreams

 

[HanSolo]

Well that period was a turd. Thankfully Nashville sucks.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Just want to see a fun game.

Too much to ask I guess.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I cannot overstate my level of satisfaction in rushing out of the office and fighting crappy traffic to attend this game.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Complain about Cronin until the cows come home, but this team goes nowhere until they learn to make passes under pressure.

 

[AngelDuck]

Just constantly chasing the game. We suck.

He's a 30 goal scorer who needs to have a very defined role. OV doesn't handle the puck on the PP at all, he just fires away.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Teams iso Vatrano on the PP because he is so bad with it. Should only be allowed to touch the puck when he’s shooting, which actually means he’s a liability on the PP

 

[Ducks DVM]

Asking Frank to handle off the wall is the single dumbest thing on this unit. He is awful at it.

And yet it is still better than putting him where he used to be, on the point.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Trouba and Zellweger is a disaster defensively

 

[AngelDuck]

Some big concerns about this team heading into the offseason. Mainly:

1) Cronin isn’t going anywhere. Verbeek things we improved so he’s going to run it back
2) the shine is wearing off Z. I’m sorry but the trend there is very very bad and at some point you have to worry


Pretty furstrating

 

[Ducks DVM]

In fairness he probably doesn't want to see another ducks power kill. Because I know I don't

You’re all about bad reality tv. Of course you do.

zegras is not a game breaker. He's a finisher. But he's a always on the outside. He needs to get in the middle more.

He isn’t a winger. If he looked this invisible at center, I’d be concerned.

I wouldn’t consider him a finisher. He’s a playmaker that no longer makes plays at a high rate. People fawn over 1-2 plays he makes a game and blame Killorn for not finishing. Meanwhile Carlsson a 20 year old and Gauthier a 21 year old 1st year pro are both more dangerous and more productive.

We’ve neutered him, whether that’s through coaching, injuries, or whatever. Doesn’t matter to me - it’s a huge concern for this teams future at this point

He isn’t a winger. If he looked this invisible at center, I’d be concerned.

This is the other end of the coin. I sure hope you’re right.

Either way, it doesn’t look good for his future here at this point

Zelly 7:52 toi. Dam

 

[Leonardo87]

I feel the scoring woes circle back to the bad PP. if you have a decent PP, say at 20% it’s going to obviously help scoring but also helps to keep momentum at ES.

Ducks PP is a Power kill, literally.

 

[HanSolo]

Loved the intermission line about Cronin emphasizing crisp passing this morning. What happened, Greg?

 

[ReptilianQuack]

4th line starts. Drink.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

I wouldn't be heartbroken if none of them were back next year but look at how much more competent the 4th line looks without Ross in there. Night and day

 

[Ducks DVM]

This seemed like a better use of my time at intermission.


This was a triumph

I'm making a note here; "Huge success"

It's hard to overstate

My satisfaction

Anaheim Hockey:

Beek does what he must

Because he can

For the fun of all of us

Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying

Over every mistake

You just keep power killing

Till you run out of cake

And the season gets done

And you remove all fun

For the people who are

Still alive

I'm not even angry

I'm being so sincere right now

Even though you broke Zegras,

And Carlsson

And traded Cam Fowler

And threw every rookie into the fire

As they lost it hurt because

Cronin’s still coaching for you

Now, these points of data

Make a beautiful line

And we're out of playoffs

But it’s later this time

Once again we got burned

On season ticket returns-

For the people who are

Still alive

Go ahead and leave me

I think I'd prefer to stay inside

Maybe you'll find someone else

To help you?

Maybe the Bettman?

That was a joke *Haha - Fat Chance*

Anyway this cake is great

It's so delicious and moist

Look at me: still talking

When there's Beeking to do

When I look out there,

It makes me GLaD I'm not you

I've experiments to run

There is research to be done

On the prospects who are

Still alive

And believe me I am

Still alive

I'm doing hockey and I'm

Still alive

I am Greg Cronin and I'm

Still alive

While you're crying I'll be

Still alive

And when you're golfing I will be

Still alive

Still alive

 

[Ducks DVM]

Strong shift by Terry
