The Official 2016-2017 Anaheim Ducks Thread

Rakell is on his way to ANA. 

[nate]

He is sorely needed.

[gotbeer]

Bernier in goal tonight?  Showcasing him?

[gotbeer]

And we already get screwed.  Not even a minute into the game.

[gotbeer]

Fuck.  Bernier out with upper body injury.  And Gibson gets clipped.

[gotbeer]

And Getzlaf isn't on the bench. 

[gotbeer]

Getzlaf back.

[gotbeer]

Is that allowed?  We score 1 goal and the opposition scores 0 goals in the second period.

[gotbeer]

OT win would be sweet.  Gibson has been nails.

[gotbeer]

Fuck.  dammit.  Dominate the overtime, turnover, game over. 

[UndertheHalo]

i thought we played a pretty shit game.  Wagner got a bit unlucky there in OT - but why is Wagner playing in 3 on 3 OT hockey.  Jesus we need forwards.  Best game of the season for Gibson, he was awesome.  Any word on Getzlaf ?

This is exactly what I was talking to Cory about last night.  Having Wagner out there on 3 on 3... but then you think about the other forwards on the team and there weren't options with Getzlaf hurt.  Just shows you why this team is doomed, just adding Rakell wont fix it, they have no depth at forward.

NHL Injuries: Ducks, Stars, Canes, Canucks, Lightning and more

Also, it would be cool if Silfverberg starts scoring at some point before 2017.  He didn't have a great game last night (1 SOG - garbage)  but he has been getting his chances this season.  God man, put some away.

I don't get why Silfverberg takes forever to get going 

[HaloCory22]

Silf is way too streaky. I was telling Nate this yesterday. He'll go on a 2-3 week streak and then go colder than the ice he skates on. The line decision in OT was hilariously bad but then again what other options do we have? Our forward depth is horrendous

[mrwicked]

i'll take the 1 point in sj. its a hard barn to play in.

with no rakell, lindholm, or full getzlaf. and starting our backup.

i'll it.

we need rakell and hampus back asap.

[nate]

Rakell was on the ice today for the optional skate.  Hopefully he is back soon.

[UndertheHalo]

That's good news  !

Wouldn't be surprised if he was sent to SD for a few conditioning games.  He's been out for a while with his surgery.

Bernier Injured; Ducks Recall Tokarski

Quote

Even if he struggles, the Ducks won’t be in trouble like their neighbors the Kings. Anaheim boasts the best pro depth in goal of any team in the league, as Tokarski was joined in the minors by fellow journeyman Matt Hackett and former UMass-Lowell standout Kevin Boyle. The San Diego trio form a strong safety net for the unproven duo of Gibson and Bernier in Anaheim.

 

[HaloCory22]

"The team that willingly pays Clayton Stoner & Kevin Bieksa a combined $7.25M per year is caught up over $250k for Hampus Lindholm."

 

Pretty much sums it up.

[gotbeer]

Pregame saying Rakell about a week to 10 days away from playing.

[gotbeer]

Now that was a beautiful power play goal.
