The Official 2016-2017 Anaheim Ducks Thread

[HaloCory22]

Regardless of how poorly officiated Game 5 was that's no excuse. Our PP has been awful. Doubt we would've scored on any. Need more than just a solo goal from Chris Wagner in the damn Western Conference Finals if you're going to win. Team needs to step up. I'm hoping Anaheim steps up and dominates but then again.. How often do they do what is necessary? 3-1 Ducks win. Send it back to Anaheim for a coin flip.

In looking for a big game out of Kesler.  This is legacy shit for that guy.  We need a big game out of him.  

Also, anyone else coming out to this watch party at Honda center ?

[UndertheHalo]

And yea the officiating has been fucking awful.  Usually at our expense, but at this point we should expect that the refs won't be doing us any favors.  Nashville is down their top two centers.   No excuse for that lifeless bullshit in game 4.  The Ducks let it get away plain and simple.  The good news is they're down those two again tonight so we have another chance.  Nashville should be fucking besieged.  We have  have seen Rinne give up goals when he faces high shot volume.  This is what needs to happen.  Enough of the perfect set plays.  Fucking shoot and crash the net. 

[UndertheHalo]

official now.  Big moment for Bernier.

[gotbeer]

Yup.  Time for Bernier to man up.

These Cock Sucking Ducks better pick up their skirts, and pull their dicks from their pussies and play big.

[nando714]

If the ducks win tonight

but lose game 7 at home

is the curse back on?

[gotbeer]

Getzlaf looks like he's on a mission to start the game.  Looks like the strategy is to throw as much at the net as possible.

[gotbeer]

And we really need to take advantage when there is a gaping net like that. 

Fuck, and of course the preds score.

[gotbeer]

Good job there Montour. 

[UndertheHalo]

Sigh. 

[gotbeer]

Need to score on this PP.  Really really need to score.

[gotbeer]

And the Ducks go brain dead.

[gotbeer]

This game is over. 

[Brandon]

this is going to be a blood bath.

what's up with gibson? injured? did they say what it was?

[UndertheHalo]

Lower body injury.  That's all. 

[gotbeer]

Just now, UndertheHalo said:

So strained pussy.

[UndertheHalo]

5 min major.  This is such bullshit.  The Ducks haven't had one 5 on 3 in these playoffs.  They call us tight but it different standard for the other teams.  This is an ongoing thing.  

[gotbeer]

Yay.  5 minute major on Ritchie.  This should end well.

[UndertheHalo]

The thing is we know the preds are fucking toothless.  We have to get some scoring chances.  It's nice we didn't give up a goal,  but color me unimpressed until we start scoring. 

[UndertheHalo]

We just keep going to the boards.  Hopelessly ineffective.  I know you gotta give Nashville credit for that but fuck man.  We have to be able to do better transitioning into attack. 

[UndertheHalo]

I think we have to just roll the dice and activate the D every single time we're in the Nashville zone.

was hoping to grab one back before the period end.

kind of unlucky and kind of stupid by ritchie. the dudes back was to him and a clear boarding call, but in the flow of the game you can get away with it if you pin them against the glass and kind of rub them out of the play. but if they get injured like that and blood....done dundee.

we're constantly shooting ourselves in the foot. the turnovers are just ridiculous for this stage.

[UndertheHalo]

If this is it for these guys I wouldn't be opposed to a significant shakeup this summer.  Might have to just accept that this group isn't gonna get it done.

I mean it was a penalty for sure, but I don't think they had to call the major there given other plays they've not called majors on.  It's just the way it is. The Getzlaf Perry and friends Ducks have a rep.   I'm sure the refs would all deny it but these guys are human beings.  It's  been the same for us for 10 years.  Different groups etc.  we always get fucked with the officiating as far as penalties go.

What would be great is if we could fucking do some damage on the man advantage. I expect we'll maintain control of possession and force some more Nashville penalties.  It's gonna be up to the Ducks to make something happen.
