Damn our players are just dropping like flies

 

[Static]

Our AHL vet guys sacrificing body parts in the first preseason game hopefully bodes well for the gulls. Appreciate the effort.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Nice job Gulls!!!

 

[Ducks DVM]

That was one hell of a shot

 

[Static]

Good job. Enjoyed the response after a rough first.

Sidorov, dionicio, pysyk, and leason stood out to me.

Nesterenko looks like he gets a lot done until the one yard line, so that's unfortunate. Could still be a good energy guy.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Sidorov is growing on me in spite of myself. He’s very entertaining.

Psysk > Lindstrom

 

[Steppin Razor]

Tuned in for a bit. Etem hasn't improved much. Dan Wood was a little dry but at least he was clear. Etem sounds confused half the time.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Why wasn’t drew Helleson playing, is he injured ?

I just need Etem to be himself more. I feel like he’s trying to play a character, and it’s not working. My favorite podcasts he does are the ones with his friends, and he just seems like a cool guy. This super homer, overly dramatic radio guy is not it.

 

[All Mighty]

If nothing else, this game gave me some hope in a McGinn-Lundestrom-Leason 4th line. Leason can also be the C, though he didn’t do well in the faceoff circle.

We had 7 players take faceoffs tonight and none of them were better than 50%. Terrance performed the best at 4/8.

Yeah a little relaxation would be good for him. He can still make his comments but if he made like half as many it would work better.

Pysyk has the early lead over Lindstrom.

Pysyk has the early lead over Lindstrom.

The fact that he is wearing #3 is interesting. Wouldn’t expect that number to be given to a guy on a PTO. Same with Katchouk.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Only so many spots, the roster is about 3 full teams. He will play.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Was working and unable to watch sadly. Nice to see a W.

 

[Terry Yake]

so the ducks are winning the cup this season?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

so the ducks are winning the cup this season?

Yes

 

[HanSolo]

My biggest takeaway is that I continue to be pleasantly...maybe not surprised but satisfied with Sidorov's current performance level. He's got plenty to work on but I can see the possibility of a solid and fun to watch second liner if all goes well with the next stages of his development.

Yup. He has a lot of skill. He can dangle like crazy. Gotta build that muscle though. He got knocked off then puck couple times today. Those dangles won't work in the corners. He is a perfect pp weapon. One timers are on point

 

[AngelDuck]

I’m definitely impressed by how quickly Sidorov is translating his play to the next level. I thought it would be a struggle for a while. Bodes well

Very easy to cheer for siderov…. Hopefully he kills it in the ahl this year

 

[Leonardo87]

I hope the next game won't have Geo restrictions. Hopefully because it's a home game, it won't. But who the hell knows. As a Ducks fan living 2k miles away. I am very disappointed.

I do know Sat's game will be available on ESPN+ for out of market fans.
