Anaheim Ducks Claim Goalie Chad Johnson off Waivers

[gotbeer]

Kase with the hatty!  Who are these guys?

[gotbeer]

I don't think I've seen a goalie as snakebit as Bishop is right now.  You could just see the indecision in his movement.  

 

[deepdrive]

Bishop was a mess. He was so far out of position a couple times, it was hard to believe he was playing in the NHL. Our sloppy play was the only thing that kept it from being a rout early on.

[Pujols4MVP]

We did get more shots on net than them though.

[Pujols4MVP]

Whats Kase's ceiling ? 14 points in 15 games. He drives the play more than Rakell ever has. Fans around the league are always impressed by him more than Rakell.

[UndertheHalo]

People around the league are not more impressed by Kase then Rakell.  

Kase is obviously a good player.  But he doesn’t have the skill set that Rakell has.  Rakell is a near elite forward.

Sprong has been a surprise, sure he's a 1 dimensional forward but he's good at that one dimension when he's given a scoring center & ice time.

[gotbeer]

WTF is going on with the Ducks.  These nothing pickups are like Murray is crapping diamonds.

It's great when that one dimension is the primary dimension we were comically lacking. 

Great pick up!

[Pujols4MVP]

Kase. God he is fast to the net with quick hands. He plays the game like he's a top line forward.

[gotbeer]

WTF Ducks.  Down by 2, and you win again.  Not only that, you score the unicorn of an empty netter?  

Fire Carlyle.

[UndertheHalo]

Who knows.  They’re getting a lot out of Aberg and Ritchie.  Getzlaf is scoring goals.  This Sprong kid looks good.  

Up is down, left is right.  Would be hilarious if this is the year that shit comes together.  Hopefully this winning and scoring trend keeps going.

and alot to be had on the trade market this year: Blues are rumored to be open to selling anyone on their roster including Tarasenko, Schwartz & O'Reilly.

Capitals rumored to want to move Burakovsky. RedWings have 29 yearold Nyquist who's having a good year & would be a rental i think.

Ritchie.  It looks like he finally sees the light, and is putting that big frame of his in front of the net constantly.  Instead of doing way too much and trying to chase down the puck on the corners.  Let's just hope he keeps it up.  Because net front presences are what we need.

So um.  What now for the Ducks?  I think now, top priority is trade Perry for anything or even nothing, if it means unloading that contract.  Some how, Murray has at least temporarily made diamonds out of really only Pettersson.  Only other players that might get moved is Silfverberg and Cogs.

Make Kesler play a physical checking role & get injured so they can put him on LTIR & insurance will cover 80% of his salary according to Eric Stephens.

Btw SJ wouldn't mind swapping Vlasic for Perry or Kesler, that Vlasic contract is gonna be alot worse than Perrys especially since he doens't have injury problems & can't be LTIR. Thats how bad of a contract Vlasic has, 31 yearold with 8 years remaining with 7mil AAV that also includes signing bonuses making him impossible to move. Vlasic has played like a poor mans Dotchin according to Shark fans.

[gotbeer]

That was a brutal way to lose the game.  

[gotbeer]

We suck again.  

Fire Carlyle.

[Pujols4MVP]

Carlyle: puts Kesler on PP units, thinks using the 'shutdown line' with minutes left in the game is smart.

The only thing the shutdown line does is shutdown the Ducks from scoring because Kesler is more useless than Pujols & Cogs can't do shit anymore.

And BTW.  PP TOI, Getzlaf 6:32.  Aberg 6:00.  Kase 5:55.  Henrique 3:26.  KESLER 6:32.  

It's not nice to make baby Jesus cry this time of year.

Thats on par with Scioscia batting Pujols 3rd.

Carlyle & Scioscia are probably drinking buddies, fishing buddies, hunting buddies, etc

Can't wait till Perry decides to show up.

After Rakell & Perry are back: If Cogliano & Kesler were to both get injured & they recall both Steel & Terry they could have a 3rd line of Ritchie/Steel/Silf & a 4th line of Terry/Rowney/Perry.

Pfft.   We all know that Perry is going to replace someone like Aberg or Sprong or Kase.
