Ducks Looking Ahead to the Offseason

Pretty much what I said.

That was in reference to someone earlier saying that Vegas would have taken Bieska.   I just thought it was moronic of the Ducks to not have him waive his NMC for the draft, so that we could have protected all our Dmen.  

He wouldn't waive his NMC because he didn't want to go to Vegas.

He was never asked.

Because agents never lie.

The Ducks almost certainly asked Bieksa to waive the NTC.

The Knights scored 3 goals in first 6 minutes, the Ducks 4 goals in 4 games. Must be nice to root for a team that come out energized and ready to kick ass at home to start a series.

Make that 4 goals in the first period.  As much as the Ducks in 4 games.

Yep just shows how far away the Ducks are to actually winning it all. Got swept by a team that will probably be handled easily in the next round by a team that probably won't even make the SCF 

[gotbeer]

Hey look at that.  It only took 1 period and 5 minutes for Vegas to outscore both the Ducks and Kings.

Hey, I know that feeling!

Shea Theodore with his 2 goal of the playoffs, he's having a nice playoffs. How nice of Murray to gift wrap him to Vegas when he could have bought out Bieska if he doesn't waive his NMC, traded Vatanen for Henrique before the expansion draft & then he'd have the spots needed to protect Fowler, Lindholm & Manson.

Or he could have packaged Theodore with Vatanen for someone better than Henrique.

On a side note i hope Vegas knocks out San Jose, i don't want SJ to get the cup cause then they'd have as many cups as the Ducks & i want the Sharks to stay being the only californian team without a stanley cup.

I also hope Vegas knocks out Trashville in the next round, it seems like the Sharks probably don't stand a chance to Vegas anyways.

I don’t think Nashville gets by Winnipeg 

[gotbeer]

Since we like to recycle coaches. You know what they say, where there is smoke, there is fire.  Let's just hope is bigger than both are letting on.

Babcock, Matthews 'don't seem to' have issues on Maple Leafs

 

[gotbeer]

Nothing too earth shattering.  But considering how prone a certain goaltender is.  This team does need a competent third goalie.  

 

[gotbeer]

Well, at least some of our guys are having success in the postseason.

Anaheim Ducks Prospect Focus: Goalie, Olle Eriksson Ek

[gotbeer]

Ouch.   At least we got this though.

NHL Roundtable: Which roster would you take now, Ducks or Kings?

[mrwicked]

rakell is the best contract in hockey.

[Tank]

That was a crazy goal by Kopacka. He was behind the goal line. Is this kind of production normal for him?

[gotbeer]

Watching the Knights vs Jets.  Man, Ducks are in trouble.  I have yet to see one player on either team not moving and standing around.  They are just constantly cycling, covering, up and down the ice.

The Knights are genuinely shocking.  I did not expect them to play the Jets this well.  My bad for allowing myself to continue to undersell them.
