GDT: Game 5 - Anaheim Ducks vs Boston Bruins, 5:30 PT

[Leonardo87]

Not surpised by this. Don’t agree with it, but not surprised. It’s fine, have so much youth talent to root for. Really need Z to start producing for one.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Embarrassing move by the ducks.

 

[MMC]

No clue why people have an issue with them being careful with an 18 year old coming off an injury. Nothing wrong with sitting him in the second of a back to back

 

[AngelDuck]

No Carlsson, no Drysdale, no Killorn. Ouch

 

[slippingsloth]

booo.... 18yo cant play 2 games? I am only ok with this if his hip was still bothering him

Because this isn’t the nba lol

Agreed. It just sucks for the interest level in this specific hockey game

 

[robbieboy3686]

I’m actually shocked at this. In a bad way. Other guys need to step up now I guess

 

[MMC]

Embarrassing move by the ducks.

Him getting reinjured because the team wasn’t careful with his usage would be way more embarrassing

 

[Matthews4Calder]

Have you guys named your starting goalie for tonight? Took Gibson in my FanDuel but nowhere confirmed.

 

[AngelDuck]

Him getting reinjured because the team wasn’t careful with his usage would be way more embarrassing

They aren’t doing this to avoid injury

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Him getting reinjured because the team wasn’t careful with his usage would be way more embarrassing

If he was at risk of reinjuring himself he wouldn’t have played the last two games, this makes 0 sense

 

[70sSanO]

It will be interesting to see Zegras at 1C.

If he tears it up, some soul searching going forward.

It wouldn’t actually.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Agreed, if there was worry of injury he wouldn’t have been playing any of these games to begin with.

Probably won't be officially announced for another 5 minutes, but I would be shocked if it isn't Gibson.

Yeah it’s fine, like to see him play, but given the injury probably the right course.

 

[Static]

It'll be ok

 

[robbieboy3686]

It will be interesting to see Zegras at 1C.

If he tears it up, some soul searching going forward.

John

Agreed, this is a large game for zegras to prove he belongs at center.

 

[MMC]

What else does managing his workload do?

 

[AngelDuck]

What else does managing his workload do?

They specifically said they are doing this to avoid him from wearing down late in the season. They’re worried about rookie fatigue and are trying to keep him fresh. They’re not worried about injury

This is going to be a bottom 10 team regardless so I’m fine with it

 

[Matthews4Calder]

Probably won't be officially announced for another 5 minutes, but I would be shocked if it isn't Gibson.

Thanks

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

[dracom]

people overreacting to sitting Carlsson for a meaningless game in october at the back end of a back to back is pretty silly.
