GDT: Ducks@Canes

Oh good. There’s a main board thread about Svech “kneeing” Getzlaf.

And yet when Ovechkin jumps into dudes or Chara does some shit, no one says shit.

Just another "dirty play" thread to ignore.

 

[A Star is Burns]

It was a dumb leg tripping by Svech. Definitely penalty worthy. That's about it.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

This Rags game is huge, absolute must win. A regulation win against them will effectively put us up 3 games on them for the division, with only 8 games remaining after that (1 more matchup with them after Tuesday). A win Tuesday will most likely seal the division up, a loss will put it in serious doubt.

There's no must-wins at this point IMO. Every opponent in the East is strong this year, so it won't truly matter who matches up with who, at least to me. I want all of our men and Kotkaniemi healthy before the big push.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

To be fair, the Anaheim broadcast showed a much better view of the trip, and it certainly looked like Svech went knee-on-knee.

that's prettymuch where this is. It wasn't even knee on knee or a slew foot for f***s sake. Ducks were doing dirtier shit to him all game that wasn't getting called.

Yep, we all outta must wins for the regular season.

Going knee on knee without really extending your knee is a lot different than a Marchment special though.

I mean, would be nice to draw Pittsburgh or Boston rather than Tampa or Washington. Other than that tho don't care, it's going to be a f***ing gauntlet either way.

They claimed knee to knee but their broadcast didn’t show anything different

Like Gas I think I'll let it pass..

never trust a fart, just sayin

Health is #1, yes. But losing the division after pretty much having it locked up for a while would be a massive end of season failure and would not bode well at all going into the playoffs. I don't care about the matchups but that type of bad momentum can't be carried into the playoffs. We've slipped a bit lately but have 9 more games to make up for that. We've already lost any realistic shot at 1 seed in the East or the Presidents Trophy, but we are in position to win the division and to let that slip would be terrible.

:12-:16 looks like not knee to me.. But it's still a 2m Penalty.. just like Getzlaf's slashes..

already seen the replay angles in that thread, at no point does it look knee on knee. Foot on foot all the way and 1000% a tripping, but otherwise? nah.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Getzlaf was looking back, he knew what he was doing to create that contact

 

[HisIceness]

I mean, I'm not one who wants to see dudes get hurt but this is a physical fast-playing game and unfortunately shit happens in the blink of an eye that I'm sure players don't want to have happen.

I get tired of the constant "So and so DIRTY hit/knee/slewfoot on so and so" type threads for what seems like every other day on the main boards. Most of them really aren't that thread-worthy. Hell our team gets cheap shotted a lot and no one says a damn thing.

Again, I personally just ignore that shit but sometimes it's fun to read the whining from the armchair DoPS

 

[Wolfpuck]

I’ve learned that one the hard way.

Or rather, the soft way.

Domi is a really good passer too bad no one is on the end equipped to score..

Domi-KK-Stepan in the playoffs is going to give other teams bottom lines fits, pity the other two on that line are out.

What's the latest on KK?

Hell, the guy coming in late on Svetch has a more knee on knee hit then Svetch on Getzlaf.

 

[Tryamw]

What's the latest on KK?

Less Ded then yesterday..

 

[DaveG]

What's the latest on KK?

He was on the ice in a non-contact jersey this week at practice IIRC. Probably another week give or take I'd guess.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Im enjoying making ridiculous comments in that Svech dirty hit thread and people taking it seriously.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Ducks fans turning into the most baby shit soft people after decades of having one of the more physical teams in the league is pretty hilarious.
