The Official Anaheim Ducks '13-'14 thread

[xboom28x]

By the way, Dan Wood, @duckscolorman is an excellent follow on Twitter along with Eric Stephens.  They provide tons of information on the Ducks.

 

Wood is awesome, hope he never leaves the Ducks broadcast booth.

 

Dan Wood even responded to a few tweets of mine. Seems like a real good guy. He's a big country music fan too which I like.

As for Silfverberg being dropped. I don't get it. I know BB would rather have 4 lines capable of scoring, but juggling the lines can also cause scoring slumps. It's not like we are struggling on offense this year.

[HaloCory22]

Wow. Silvferberg getting dropped down to the 4th? Guess BB wants some more thunder from all 4 lines.

[HaloCory22]

Yeah the biggest downer about being dropped is that I loved the way Jakob and Perreault played together. Then again, I'm sure BB will mix up the lines again mid game and they'll be together yet again.

BB likes spreading the scoring around.  Having Etem, Perreault, and Selanne on the ice at the same time should be pretty entertaining.  Those guys can fly.

[xboom28x]

I haven't paid as close attention but, does anyone notice if BB juggles lines more on the road than he does at home? Wonder if that is his strategy in order to keep opposing teams from matching up defensive pairings against certain lines.

Bones!  Great pass from Maroon there.

[nate]

Ducks are on the front page of ESPN.com right now.  Pretty cool.

 

[nate]

What an effort by Perreault.

[nate]

Ducks PP is just pathetic.

[HaloCory22]

Almost a minute and a half of 5-3 PP and we get ONE sog. Pathetic.

[nate]

They had no puck movement.  Just Perreault sitting there in the corner waiting for a passing lane to open.  Have to move the puck better.

[HaloCory22]

What a horrible period. Ducks got worked.

[nate]

To many odd man rushes.  Ridiculous.

[HaloCory22]

Tonight sucked. Not the way you want to start off a road trip.

[nate]

It was brutal.

 

Hopefully a new streak starts Thursday.

 

This is a brutal road trip.

Sbisa full practice today. No word yet on when he will be activated

[halobob]

Only got to watch the 3rd period yesterday.  Can't win'em all.  Hopefully we cut down big time on allowing odd numbered rushes next game.

[HaloCory22]

Just be happy you didn't have to watch that 2nd period. Horrible.

[nate]

Sbisa full practice today. No word yet on when he will be activated

 

Turns out he didn't quite practice 100%.  Still can't do the "battle drills."  Still a few days out.

[Kenny]

Season's over.

[xboom28x]

Turns out he didn't quite practice 100%.  Still can't do the "battle drills."  Still a few days out.

 

Ya, can't recall whose tweet I saw, but they obviously were wrong to use the word "full"

[xboom28x]

Any news on Garbutt's impending suspension?

[nate]

He was suspended five games.  That is a lot for a first time offender.
