GDT: Game 60: Anaheim Ducks vs New Jersey Devils, 7pm PT, BSW (Henrique’s last game?)

[Sean Garrity]

September.

Na, we passed on Fantilli so we only had 2 potential top centers back then.

If we trade Frankie gonna be pissed.

Frankie should be traded, then return in glorious fashion on a sweetheart contract in a year.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Not to be confused with the Orangatank, right?!

Imma gonna start using that for him.

 

[la patineuse]

September.

Try to remember the kind of September...Deep in [December] the season it's nice to remember

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

What a pass by Troy

The delay, too. Diddling around with it just long enough for Frank to barely get open with enough space to deke.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I see all the young dmen are crash and burning

 

[Mr Rogers]

Jones’ effort level is not necessarily inconsistent but his effectiveness very much is. Interesting player

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

I bet nj with a decent goalie and one more solid defenseman would be the jersey we expect

Always watching the opposing broadcast to learn more about the other team (and avoid the Jersey announcers who constantly make excuses).

But the abuse the Ducks crew is heaping on Nico Daws are way off the mark.

Sure the shots are way in favor of the Ducks but other than the first goal it's hard to pin any of the Ducks' goals on Daws.

At the other end, much of what Dostal has faced has been from the perimeter; with the Ducks rallying to the front to prevent second chances and deflections.

That was especially true on the cross crease goal by Vatrano were he crossed in front with no opposition.

When the Devils had a similar chance it was number 60 preventing the forward from reaching the puck.

Don’t take it to heart, our announcer calls our players the wrong name 85% of the time.

Right on cue

 

[SmokeyDuck]

I mean if you arent worried about making the playoffs or going far in the playoffs Dawes should be fine.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Will we give up 50 tonight? Will we get to 20 shots?

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Will we give up 50 tonight? Will we get to 20 shots?

Wasn't that our mantra last year?

O. I am in no way disparaging NJ. I had them playoff bound to start season

I was just thinking if they had a little more on the backend that they would be where i perceived them to be

If the ducks were pts wise where nj is we would call it a good start out of the rebuild. Instead we sit essentially w same point total as last year at this time. (I know we are better but final results arent that different)

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

We're so back.

 

[slippingsloth]

Doesnt quite roll off the tongue like
Oo ahh silfverberg

 

[Arthuros]

We're so back.

#maxeffor

...whoops, might have the wrong year there.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Jones’ effort level is not necessarily inconsistent but his effectiveness very much is. Interesting player

The last two games are why I think he can be a valuable player. Every time he does this he reverts to form or gets injured though.

 

[slippingsloth]

That gudas terry vats goal really was sexy tho

The last two games are why I think he can be a valuable player. Every time he does this he reverts to form or gets injured though.

Everytime i think we shouldnt qualify him he goes and has 1-2 good games and makes me question it

 

[Hockey Duckie]

We're so back.

Well, yeah. When we gave up more SOG's, we started earning points last year. It appears to be the formula for this late season run.

Ducks later Feb 2024
Feb 15.

Score: Ducks 5, Sens 1 (Win)​

SOG: Ducks 20, Sens 34​

Feb 19

SOG: Ducks 14, Sabers 37​

Then there's tonight

Current Score halfway in the 3rd period: Ducks 4, Devils 2​

SOG: Ducks 18, Devils 42​

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Right on cue

They're having trouble with the Devils too. Hischier has been Luke - as has Curtis Lazar.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Gudas is landing the hits tonight

 

[ScarTroy]

Hip rated E for Everyone

 

[Ducks DVM]

Who put Carlsson in the jones suit?

 

[Static]

Max is out of control, damn

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

How many times have I wondered, is Jonesy turning the corner?
