The Official Anaheim Ducks '13-'14 thread

Hiller was absolutely amazing tonight.  Best game I have ever seen from him.

[deepdrive]

Andersen v. Smith ?

Good chance of another low scoring game.

[HaloCory22]

Hiller in net again tonight according to BB. I don't like it. Hiller has a bad track record in back to backs.

[halobob]

Last night was one of the most exciting 0-0 regulation games I have ever been to.  The Ducks had so many scoring changes but Bishop was insanely good the whole night.  Cogs had one hell of a ****ing game.  Hopefully they come out with the same urgency against Phoenix tonight (only other team to not have lost in regulation at home this year).

Sbisa injured in the fight yesterday, out 6-8 weeks, needs wrist surgery.  Fasth is also out 3-4 weeks with a lower body injury.  Don't like cheering injuries but this is a good thing.

 

Fasth is becoming a bust.

 

Andersen and Vatanen back up.

 

Beauch is out for at least the Dallas game.  Koivu still experiencing dizziness.

[deepdrive]

Sbisa out 6-8 weeks. Whatever will we do.

[halobob]

Man it's a good thing we are such a deep team.  If we had all of these injuries 2 years ago we would've been one of the worst teams in the league!

[HaloCory22]

I smell a trade for a defenseman coming soon. So stoked Sbisa is out until possibly the Olympic break. I'm really starting to like Fistric. Dude has had 2 really solid games.

Defensively, we were one of the worst teams in the league.

Interesting that Jackman is playing D tonight and he has Perreault/Selanne/Beleskey together.

[HaloCory22]

Hiller has been nails. Sucks he gave up that 1 goal, but ****. He's been making me eat crow.

[nate]

Hiller looks great.  Big question what to do next season.  Andersen/Gibson?  Fasth seems to be always injured.  he also didn't play well when he is healthy.

 

It is clear that Hiller is the best goalie the Ducks have this year.  He has played with a shitty D too.  We all know that when Sbisa came back is when he started to give up goals.

[HaloCory22]

I think the biggest question will be if we trade him and get something for him now and go with Fasth/Andersen for the playoff run or just go for it all this season and let Hiller walk in the offseason and then go with a Fasth/Andersen/Gibson trio.

[nate]

Just like that Hiller gives up two soft goals.

 

Vatanen caught way out of position there.

[nate]

And then Fowler caught out of position.

[Tank]

Three goals in 53 seconds, followed by a high sticking penalty. Ouch.

[HaloCory22]

**** the Stars. **** them hard. Benn is a little bitch.

[nate]

Ducks definitely feeling the effects of having their top 3 defenders out in this game.  They even have a forward playing D.

Hiller is just way too inconsistent. This is his 5th game allowing 4+ goals. No way do I want him starting in the playoffs.

[Tank]

Now 5-2. Went downhill fast. These are tough games to watch.

[HaloCory22]

LOL. This ****ing game.

[halobob]

Brutal third period.  Hopefully we come out firing on Friday.  Day after thanksgiving game is my favorite regular season game of the year!

What? That didn't happen.

Same here. I wish they had more day games to be honest.

[HaloCory22]

This happens every time I give Hiller props. He then implodes. I blame the loss last night on me.
