GDT: Game 3 : Rookie Faceoff - Ducks vs LA - 12:30pm PT (If your boss catches you streaming tell them Wild Wing said it was ok)

I don't like Etem's repetitive use of the phrase "look for them to continue that trend"

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Good play by Warren to simply win position and box out below the dot. Zell is everywhere in a mixed bag kind of way

 

[Sean Garrity]

Etem read the analyst handbook. “Wants it more tonight”, ummm it’s 1 in the afternoon sir.

Look for him to continue that trend

 

[Mr Rogers]

Look for him to continue that trend

literally haha. just said it again

 

[AngelDuck]

Warren, Myatovic, Calrsson the stars of that period for me. Warren the best defensive player on the ice so far. Kings can't get by him

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Lots of turnovers. Need better poise from most of these guys tonight.

 

[Leonardo87]

Look for him to continue that trend

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I feel more comfy with Suchanek than Alexander in net.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Rough period for Minty. Has been so-so to mildly disappointing outside of a few spurts where he looked unbelievable

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Big upgrade in the PxP department as well so far on first listen, IMO. I like Cooney a lot from a technical standpoint.

 

[robbieboy3686]

I’m really more certain now, that all our young d will start the season developing with the gulls. As far as the kids who haven’t logged nhl time. Which is a good thing. I agree with the overly cautious development route for young dmen. We have vets like hagg and lubush who will be fine with the big club

 

[lwvs84]

I know it's unlikely both pan out, but could you imagine if Warren and Smith both become legit above average #4 and #6 respectively? That would be a HUGE back end, it would make up for having Zell and Drysdale in the lineup. Warren could be that above average #4 maybe (hopefully a prime Manson), but Smith is probably a bigger long shot.

I liked Zilch, but Cooney isn't making me miss him. Not a fan of Etem's isms. They get annoying pretty quick.

We can dream

Very repetitive language in general. He also uses "take it up a notch" and "that's what you wanna see" a lot

LaCombe is the only young D with a realistic chance to make the club out of camp, maybe Helleson. Zellweger/Minty might get a cup of coffee later in the season but there's plenty to work on in the AHL

He has a great voice for being a side kick. He just needs some seasoning

 

[Mr Rogers]

Cooney is really good. I see him having NHL potential. Zilch was fine for an AHL team but his voice and style I don’t think are NHL calibre.

 

[Hinterland]

Rough period for Minty. Has been so-so to mildly disappointing outside of a few spurts where he looked unbelievable

Yeah, mostly underwhelming and he took a really dumb, lazy ass penalty.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Yeah, Etem is pretty meh, but I think most of us have enough understanding of what’s going on that color commentary doesn’t move me unless you’re describing the intricacies of different systems in depth

 

[AngelDuck]

Etem has been a broadcaster for 3 days, give him a chance to adjust. Annoying so far but he's young and not the worst I've ever heard

He would benefit in listening to other peers who excel in his position, and try and learn some things from them. Maybe 1x a week for a couple months until he himself is better.

LaCombe is the only young D with a realistic chance to make the club out of camp, maybe Helleson. Zellweger/Minty might get a cup of coffee later in the season but there's plenty to work on in the AHL

Agreed

No not at all. There's potential there for sure. I was just saying that one line was starting to grind my gears.
