GDT: Preseason - Game 4 - Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings, 7pm PT

[Leonardo87]

Vaaks has been engaging in the OZ.

Damn... LaCombe skates like normal and the King trying to race by him for a loose puck is chopping his legs twice as fast as LaCombe, but LaCombe isn't losing any distance. Crazy! And then LaCombe is just calm with the loose puck.

Hinds pound players and locking them up along the boards.

afterwards, LaCombe blocks a shot. Gibby's gonna love LaCombe.

If LaCombe doesn’t make the team, not sure what to think.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Simple but effective PP goal there!

edit: great effort by Jones.

 

[dracom]

huh that's a jones like goal for sure

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Crashing the net on the PP goal. nice!

 

[Deuce22]

Jones overpowered everyone

 

[Leonardo87]

Going to net, good things happen.

"That's a Max goal Jones!" - Etem

Really liking both LaCombe and Luneau in terms of overall 2-way play, and not just talking about this game.

On a side note, hope that doesn't count against Max's total goals for the regular NHL season XD

 

[branmuffin17]

Ugh.

 

[Sean Garrity]

The hell was the team on that lol

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Lmao helleson burned twice already

 

[dracom]

come on gibson...

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Damn... we were too aggressive on that rush. mishandled that puck, turnover, and lead to a breakaway.

It's not good. The last two sequences had forwards playing the last line of defense. On that breakaway, it was F McLaughlin racing back. The previous sequence, it was Perrault playing defense on a king breakaway. My spidey-sense was screaming... a forward playing defense!

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Lol Gibson sleeping

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Luneau with an own goal. trAdition. welcome aboard, Luneau!

 

[alsmiss94]

Hello darkness my old friend...

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

This might not be our night. It's ok it's pre season

 

[KelVarnsen]

This fw group is gawd awful.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I think the coaches told the D to be even more aggressive in the second half the period. I noticed LaCombe racing into the OZone and he usually doesn't do that. After him, there were just wave after wave of d-man pinching like Hinds, Luneu, White, etc... We were better being judicious when our d-men pinched.

What this means is that a forward was not rotating up for the pinching d-man. This is the same problem we had last year with Eakins. A forward is too slow to recognize a pinching D-man to rotate into that open position.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

This fw group is gawd awful.

I can't believe Leasons is going to make this team... again.

 

[KelVarnsen]

I can't believe Leasons is going to make this team... again.

It’s freaking pathetic. He is awful and has no business in the NHL. Not to go all Dirk, but he doesn’t even bring physicality. He’s just kind of there and that’s no good.

Is this on YouTube also or just on the internet? My TVs web browser is annoying but I don’t want to have to use AirPlay.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Not a great period.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Not a great period.

Ehh Gibson is probably checked out already lol

 

[dracom]
