Player Discussion John Gibson

[Mortal Wombat]

He isn’t going anywhere IMO. Signed to an extremely reasonable contract the next 5 years and is only 28 years old. The Ducks could be a cup contender by the time he’s 31 if things go right.

Agreed. I want to keep Gibson until someone like Dostal manages to steal the starting job.

 

[Frosted Tips]

That was vintage Gibson. A 64 minute highlight reel with a climax in the end.

I'd trade gibson for 2 firsts. Then hopefully Dostal becomes good.

We are not contending, so give gibson a chance to win.

 

[bracer028]

It's also amazing how every trade thread on the main board was telling ducks fans he is worth a late first while ducks fans accurately predicted a rebound to old form with a healthy team that is skating better

only because there was a random emergence from terry that no one expected. Everyone here wanted terry's head. I said give terry a chance since he is young, but his leash was getting shorter every year.

 

[AngelDuck]

Been absolutely excelling out there. Have to think he’s at least in the running, if not the outright favorite, for the Vezina right now. No goalie plays more than him and he’s locked in

Yes, he’s complained about the performance of the team in the last . But as the team has gotten better he’s backed up his talk.

 

[Kalv]

Great goalies can make deep runs for even mediocre teams – 2003 Mighty Ducks, 2021 Habs, etc. I really hope we get into the playoffs and see what happens

Agreed. To me he’s been the teams MVP so far. Hopefully he can keep it up, when he’s on there’s only one goalie in the league I take over him.

Last 7 starts:

vs PHI 28/29 0.966
vs COL 32/35 0.914
vs VGK 42/45 0.933
vs VAN 35/37 0.946
vs ARI 21/27 0.778 (yikes)
vs PIT 15/16 0.938 (40 mins)
vs CBJ 33/34 0.971

Our best player the past couple of games, IMO.

 

[snowave]

He has been great. However, I'd still probably be OK if he wanted to go to a "win now" contender, as long as we got a really good return.

I wanna see Hiller’s numbers up to 2011

We're currently in a "good Gibby" phase. It's easy to forget that consistency hasn't been there for most of his career.

 

[Frosted Tips]

Damn, that really puts Lundqvist's performance in perspective. Gibson was really owning that stat a few years ago for a period of time but in the past two seasons he's a combined -25.4 GSAx (according to MoneyPuck). Last time I checked he was again -5 or something for the season but now he's already +6 so he's improved a lot after getting a bit funky at around December or so.

Like 2015 or 2017?

I cut him some slack back in 2015, but no longer. He is truly a ripe early spoil late goalie.

I have zero confidence that he will be there when we really need him in the playoffs.

If we can get the right assets, I say cut bait.

What are you talking about? 2015 was on Andersen shitting the bed, not Gibson. The Ducks lost to the predators in 2017 in large part due to the fact that Bernier played game 5 and 6 after Gibson got hurt

I think the operative word is hurt.

It was all on Andersen in 2015 because Gibson was out hurt; traditional late season groin injury? Gibson started 20 games that year.

At least he played in the playoffs in 2017.

I guess we should all be thankful that Bryzgalov wasn't hurt in '07.

[WhatTheDuck]

Scottie does know

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

With very few exceptions (if at all) he's been absolutely lights out since that Arizona game.

 

[Paul4587]

He’s been lights out most of the season to be fair. He had one stretch for a couple of weeks where he was just average but overall he’s been our MVP.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Meh, still indifferent about Gibby. When he's on he's on. When he's not and frustrated, he has a gloomy attitude and checks out more than other players on the team.

 

[Paul4587]

 

[Trojans86]

Feels like he has been all world since he was nominated for the asg

 

[snowave]

We can't keep playing this way with Gibby having to face so many shots. He'll burn out physically and mentally again.

Everyone else is playing like they're burned out physically and mentally. This break can't come soon enough.

 

[Ducks in a row]

With the shutout victory against the Stars John Gibson has tied Guy Hebert for 2nd most wins in franchise history with 173
