The Official 2022-2023 Anaheim Ducks Thread

Gibswim in midseason form.  Gibswim making 10 bell saves.  Well, if Gibswim was in position, he wouldn't have to make all those 10 bell saves.  

Book is out on him.  He doesn't see cross ice passes.

[gotbeer]

@deepdrive  Top 2 lines.  Strome/Terry/McTavish and Z/Vatrano/Rico  

[gotbeer]

Lol.   Gibswim already out.  Stolarz in.  

No matter how much the announcers and players polish a turd, it's still a 3 goals given up turd.

[gotbeer]

Regenda/Jones/Grant might become the secret weapon this season.  They have looked real good.

In one form or another, those seem to be our 6.

Not a bad 4th line. But, someone has to play up when Carrick comes back - probably Regenda?

I just woke up. So, these posts are subject to revision.

Right now.  I would say that Lundestrom/Silfverberg/Comtois is the 4th line.  That's how good Grant/Regenda/Jones is playing.

So, who are you using to stream the games now?

Same as last year.  Some reddit site.  Did you get the Bally's streaming package?

I'm going to try markkystreams as I generally go their first. I get the UFC fights with no issue, but sometimes NFL games can get squirrelly. No ads or popups either.

I've also started using soccerstreams as I started using them for Manchester United games, but saw they do everything else, too. Their is one link in there from someone called Supertipz that doesn't have the pop ups and never really lags that I've been using more these days. I'm on a Mac, so no issues with viruses, etc. but I'd make sure I was properly setup if using a PC.

Reddit's what I was using last year. I was going to wait until opening night for Bally. That way I'm looking at $120 for the season if I keep it the entire time. My other thought was wait a month into the season and see the reviews. Then only be looking at $100. I haven't decided yet.

Thanks for the other options. Reddit's been good, but sometimes it's a pain to get on. Then there's also the issue of them loading crap or viruses on. I have a good antivirus (ESET). But it's always a concern.

If it wasn't Sinclair and their terrible reputation, I wouldn't hesitate to put out the hundred bucks. I just don't know if they're going to be any better than the outlaw streamers.

I would think at some point I will try them and see. Just haven't made a decision yet.

[gotbeer]

He hasn't been claimed yet.  But I had high hopes for him, so much so I wouldn't include him in trades when he was a prospect.  So disappointing.  

Waivers: 10/09/22

Anaheim Ducks

D Josh Mahura

 

[arch stanton]

Lots of players get waived today. Most teams don’t have the space to claim them

[deepdrive]

The thing with for me with Mahura is the question of did he just not have it or was the development lacking? 

It seems a lot of prospects from his time didn't pan out with the Ducks. I was surprised Larson did so poorly and I wonder what would have become of Theodore if he had stayed.

There's that group in the middle of the players that make it regardless of their development and those that don't. With a lot of guys, it's really important to get them a solid base in the 18-23 yr range.

I also thought Fowler and Lindholm never developed into the players they could have been. Both had the skill level to be much bigger offensive threats.

[deepdrive]

What about Grimaldi? I haven't seen his status show up in the last couple days.

Ducks Waive Glenn Gawdin

Quote

Earlier in the day, five players were picked up off waivers – goaltender Connor Ingram (Arizona), defensemen Josh Mahura (Florida) and Jarred Tinordi (Chicago), plus forwards Axel Jonsson Fjallby (Winnipeg) and Brett Leason (Anaheim).  The other 59 players from yesterday’s waiver class all passed through unclaimed.

Ducks roster set.

Rico, Silfverberg, Strome, Vatrano, Comtois, Lundestrom, Grant, Terry, Jones, Z, McTavish, Reginda, Leason

Klingberg, Fowler, Shattenkirk, Kulikov, Drysdale, Beaulieu, White, Benoit

Gibswim, Stolarz

IR Vakanienen, Carrick, Moore

[deepdrive]

Leason - Verbeek continues to show he feels the team needs more size.

I think the preseason gave more emphasis to what he already saw as a need. Only time will tell how big a thing this is with him. For now, he had to bring in some protection.

Unless someone gets hurt, Carrick has to clear wavers from the way the roster looks

If Gramaldi had a chance it ended at 6' 5".

Yeah, 6'5", 218 lb.  He's definitely going bigger.  It also helps that he is a right shot.  We are a really left shot heavy lineup.  

I'm just wondering where he's going to play.  Not 1/2 lines.  The Grant 6'3" 209, Jones 6'3" 220, Regenda 6'3" 219 played really well and is really beefy.

So that leaves the Lundestrom 6' 191 (doubt he would be replaced though), Comtois 6'2" 214 (left), and Silfverberg 6'1" 209 (right) as the only target.  That line did not look as good as the others.

Carrick is on IR.  Doubt he'd be waived as he's the enforcer.  But who knows how long he will be on IR, and since he missed all of preseason, he'll probably need an extensive conditioning assignment to the Gulls.

We could probably use a right punch more than a right shot at the present. Until we get more info on him, no way to say where he fits in.

It's looking more and more like Silfverburg better have a good start that continues on. We're running out of room for him on the roster.

Yeah I knew that. I didn't phrase the sentence correctly. When he comes back there is no place for him unless we have injuries to cover.

If McTavish gets ten games in can he be sent to SD?

Looking at his stats, I don't think he's a pugilist.  Only when he was on the Calgary Flames under 18 team did he have more penalties minutes than games.  Usually pugilists will have big penalty minutes.
