The Official 2016-2017 Anaheim Ducks Thread

Freakin dog track.

I'm very confused as to whats going on with Corey Perry lately. He has been absolutely absent offensively out there. For awhile he was racking up the assists but even that has disappeared. He looks slow as hell out there, too. He seems to be easily knocked off the puck, too. Seems to have very poor balance out there.

Great way to start the road trip. Gibson looked very solid again tonight. 7-1-1 in the division now. That's huge. Keep it up boys.

Light up the ....ummmm, well just light it up. 

Good way to start the roadtrip.  Solid game.

[Oz27]

Well that was fun!

[gotbeer]

Phew @Oz27  I thought you got arrested in San Jose for streaking the ice since we haven't heard from you.  How was that arena, and Vancouver in general?  Where are you headed next?

I've talked to Nate about this somewhat jokingly but also with some truth to it. I want to see Rakell-Kesler-Silf together on a line. The three best players offensively on the team right now. They could score goals at will. Again, no need to break up that Kesler line but man.. That would be fun especially seeing how well they are on the PP.

Perry was pretty streaky last year as well.  He's always gonna attract the most attention from the opposing D's and that's exactly what's going on here.  Perry will get his, I honestly don't see any difference in his play this year vs. what we've seen in the last few years. He's never been fast, and he always is tangled up with opposing players.  I think the biggest marker to look out for is how many shots he's getting.   He got 6 SOG against Montreal and last night he got 2.  He's averaging about 3 shots a game, which isn't horrible.  What does suck is his shooting percentage which is like less then 6 percent.  That is far off of his norms which are like in the 15 percent range.  So I expect that we'll see some some positive adjustment.  Getzlaf I think has been great this season.  He also has a very low shooting percentage that is bound to improve.

Silfverberg now with 16 points in 24 games, Bobby Ryan with 8 points in 21 games.

Ottawa is stuck with that contract, ouch. Bobby Ryan's shot has fallen off a cliff big time. Will he ever have a 30 goal season again ? or even a 25 goal season ? He hasn't reached 25 goals in a season since he was traded out of Anaheim.

Hahaha. I had more fun in San Jose than Vancouver. Nicer venue, more fun people, more fun town. I didn't love Vancouver actually, just not really my kind of place. The game was still fun though. I'm back in So Cal now, heading to a couple of Ducks games in the next week before I go home.

[gotbeer]

Big game.  We need to win against Edmonton to keep @bucbrettin his place.

[gotbeer]

why oh why is Bieska still getting ice time.  he doesn't hit, he's slow, and he doesn't handle the puck well.

[gotbeer]

What a quick period. 

[gotbeer]

Kessler still on fire.

[gotbeer]

It would help if they played D at the end of the power plays.

[gotbeer]

Perry at least contributing in some ways since he can't get goals.

Please don't be concussed #17

Yeah, that would suck.

[UndertheHalo]

Man, Ritchie and his line have been awesome their last couple of shifts.  Ritchie is just a beast, Edmonton has no answers for him.  Great to see him playing so confidently. 

[gotbeer]

His line didn't come out, and the fourth line did.  WTF.  Put the Kid or Getzlaf line only if the Kessler line can't come out.  But don't put the 4th line in.

Ever since Kase and Ritchie has been teamed together, it answered a lot of the Ducks problems. 

[gotbeer]

Yes, Kessler back in.

[gotbeer]

We need to convert here.  Golden opportunity.

[gotbeer]

We just suck in OT.

Wasn't it like a year or two ago when we just dominated OT?
