The Official 2016-2017 Anaheim Ducks Thread

When Wagner plays like this.  Is when I think you guys are right about trying to keep him.  Man is he using his body.

[UndertheHalo]

Wagner is a fine wrecking ball here and there.  I just don't want him being an integral part of the forward corps.  Same for Shaw.  They both suck,.  I'm still sort of baffled that these two get ice but Garbutt does not.  He's a far better NHL player imo.  A victim of the cap situation i guess.

Huge stop there Gibson. 

[UndertheHalo]

Rakell has looked pretty good at center tonight.  Thats a plus.

[gotbeer]

hey look, Kase didn't have to make an acrobatic goal.  That was a pretty goal by the Ducks.  Nice hustle by Ritchie to keep the play alive.

[UndertheHalo]

the good old bang bang play.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

That was a beautiful goal. 

[UndertheHalo]

is it just me or are the Ducks just incapable of scoring the empty net goal.  lol

[UndertheHalo]

nice w

[gotbeer]

Shutout.  Solid game for the Ducks today.  Kid line comes through big.

[UndertheHalo]

also, where the hell has Nate been ?

[gotbeer]

I think I scared him off in the Politics Forum.  I was being an insensitive jerk.  Which means I was being my normal self.

[UndertheHalo]

tsk tsk 

[Pujols4MVP]

Patrick Maroon scored a hat trick tonight. 14 goals on the season. Perry has 7 goals, Perry is the NHL Pujols. Complete nose dive at age 31.

Players with more goals this year than Perry: Cogliano, Maroon, Kesler, Rakell, Silfverberg, Ritchie.

Even Vermette has as many as Perry & he's a 3rd line center.

Kesler is aging better than both Getzlaugh & Peary.

Team USA wins gold at World Junior Championships in dramatic shootout

Quote

Anaheim Ducks prospect Troy Terry is king of the shootout and the American Under-20 hockey team is the world champion.

Terry scored the only goal in a five-round shootout to give Team USA a 5-4 win against Canada at the World Junior Championships in Montreal.

 

 

7 GP, 4 G, 3 A, clutch in the shootout.  19 years old.  Looks like he needs to put some lbs on him.  But hey, I'll take him in the Ducks system.

[gotbeer]

The Kid line is just swarming again today. 

Good for Cramerosa to get credit on that goal for going into the dirty place.

[gotbeer]

Nooooooooo.  Kase goes down into the boards.  Possible shoulder.

[gotbeer]

Wagner scored an Andersen special.

[gotbeer]

What a waste of the power play to begin the third.  Perry should not be out there on the main PP line. 

Right now, I would say the Perry line is probably the worst line on the Ducks right now.  Perry just stands around and waits for things to happen instead of moving around making things happen.

[gotbeer]

Kase!!!!!  WTH is he not playing in OT more. 

[gotbeer]

Buyout by Arizona Coyotes turned into 'real positive' for Anaheim Ducks' Antoine Vermette

[UndertheHalo]

nice to get a w in 3 on 3 finally !

I'm really loving the development of Ritchie and Kase.

I'd love it even more if Carlyle would stop F'ing around, and keep the Ritchie, Kase, Vermette line together  instead of doing a Scioscia and playing platoonstones.

#1 line Kesler, Cogs, Silfverberg

#2 line Ritchie, Kase, Vermette

#3 line Wagner, Cramerossa, and whoever else.  Man, that's one bruising line.

#4 line Getzlaf, Perry, Rakell.

And yes, IMO the Getzlaf/Perry/Rakell line even though Getzlaf is injured is not playing at the level of #1 or #2 lines.

Kase has been a very pleasant surprise!
