GDT: Game 41: Anaheim Ducks @ Carolina Hurricanes, 4pm PT, BSSC

[Zegs2sendhelp]

They’re just undermanned. Frustrating because they clearly care

Well some of them care at least

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Leason, McGinn and Lundy looked respectable today.

Not a great game but I honestly thought it would've been a lot worse.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I like how we're playing / happy with the compete / learning the right habits / etc. Good stuff as always.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Onto the next game in Tampa. Dunno if there's enough juice in our flex capacitor.

 

[Terry Yake]

fowler has really started showing the mileage in those legs

 

[All Mighty]

The Hagg-Lyubushkin pairing was horrendous as expected. Not sure how we will fit Lindstrom in. If we want him on his strong side, we will have to mess with another pairing, too.

Mess with them all, wont matter much

maybe... could swap Lyubushkin with Lindstrom.

Fowler-Lybushkin
Vaak-Gudas
LaCombe-Lindstrom

Pretty much every notable young guy is out of the lineup except McTavish (who I still think is hurt) and Lacombe. Almost all of the mistakes I notice are the veterans being lazy morons who don’t skate.

Guess it was good I had to work and I missed the game. Any injuries?

Gibson left after two periods with an UBI.

 

[pbgoalie]

Not that it won’t be bad but Carlsson is more important to our offense than Z.

Him being back is a big step forward

There is zero reason to rush Leo back into the dumpster fire. Get 100%

 

[ScarTroy]

There is zero reason to rush Leo back into the dumpster fire. Get 100%

Also zero reason not to play him if he’s truly healed and ready.

Got Gibby is smart he should milk it to not continue the mental anguish. He should strategically come back before the trade deadline against bad teams and go all out and pray to the hockey gods to save him from 3 more seasons of misery and future PTSD.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Good time for the tank thread?

 

[AngelDuck]

The ducks have just completely burned out Fowler to the point that I’m not even sure if he’s any good

 

[bracer028]

Yup. You gotta play your prospects against top level competition for them to grow. So many one here want to coddle the kids for god knows what reason

Good time for the tank thread?

Were we off the tank this year?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

He’s def aged a ton this year…. He’s got to be injured or something…. He’s slow, shows little to no offensive aggression his body language isn’t great throughout the games.

they definitely Broke him…. Not sure how anyone could see him as a key part of the team when we start getting better, worst part is he’s almost untradable

Fowler will diminish, and go into the west... And play on 2nd or 3rd pair.

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Yeah, I don't have the energy to even contribute to this one. Stick a fork in me.

He looked fine when they had Drysdale playing and dropped Fowler’s minutes down closer to 20. He just has no ability to be dynamic at 25-28 minutes.

So, he’s going to LA?
