GDT: Game #5 of the season Ducks visit Bruins 7:00 PM ET Oct. 20, 2022

[KelVarnsen]

That period was……yikes.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Wish we traded Comtois for DeBrusk!

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Even missing multiple stars we are pretty outclassed here by Boston. They are least seemed to be skating harder.

I'll take it. We're perfect on the PK, 2 for 2. We allowed 12 SOG's, which could lead to under 40 SOG's? And it's the second period with a clean sheet. I'm liking the positive trend despite being dominated.

A narrative that I do not understand is that Eakins in the right coach to develop the young players.

Hes a good communicator but that's all I got

Zegras has improved under him, Lundestrom has improved under him, Drysdale has improved under him, Terry has improved dramatically under him.

Well he has helped develop several young players with tangible evidence.

I mean those were top prospects and their young people would hope they are getting better naturally as well... Terry just needed to get bigger and stronger. Who knows how much better or worse they would have been with anyone else coaching them. Could have been Eakins just saying... There's progression at that age regardless.

Lots of caveats to insert. Too many of those and the original statement is worthless.

That's a terrible goal Gibson.

 

[bumperkisser]

that ones on gibby

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

lmaoo wow. Gibson WTF!!!!

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Oh Gibby…

John Klingberg tie up a stick in front of your net challenge (impossible)

 

[IDuck]

thats on you gibson

 

[c4rcy]

Why gibby...

I mean you could argue Drysdale hasn't developed much. I'll say he was more aggressive his first season. He's definitely learning from Fowler. I think Drysdale looked best with Fleury.

Sure, there are many ways development can go. But, there is no denying several young players have dramatically improved under Eakins. Whether people are willing to credit him as having a hand in that is up to them.

Other than Terry and Lundestrom I’m not really impressed.

 

[dracom]

vatarno the only one that bothers to just shoot it

Oh he definitely had a hand in it. That doesnt change the fact I'd think they would be better off with an actual good NHL coach. The biggest thing we did for our youth last year was allow them to play big minutes and situations.

 

[Ducks DVM]

that man has a shot

 

[dracom]

vatarno the only one that bothers to just shoot it

and just like that he scores.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]
