The Official Anaheim Ducks '13-'14 thread

[HaloCory22]

Lindholm hasn't been great, but I'd still obviously rather have him in there instead. Fistric still in?

[Gavin]

I've been reading the Getz is most likely in tonight. Apparently he "reaggravated" an old injury. I'm hoping he's playing, but he needs to be his normal self as well to be effective.

[halobob]

Lindholm definitely has a concussion.  He got rocked and was completely dazed at the end of a shift, could barely get off the ice.  

[xboom28x]

Lindholm came back and played the rest of the game so he must have been cleared by team doctors. However, Lindholm has seemingly been overmatched the entire series. Sbisa isn't much of an improvement. Fingers crossed that he gives us a decent game tonight.

Honestly, a good skater like Sbisa might be what they need against Dallas.  I know that BB likes to do the big bruiser line against speed teams but I am not sure the Ducks have the right guys to do that right now with all the injuries.  Gotta match speed with speed.

We really needed that first PP goal.  Looks good so far.

[gotbeer]

You can't have an ass, without a garbutt.  Should be a suspension hopefully.

[nate]

Only the Ducks would go on a 5 minute major PP and surrender a shorty and then go 4 on 4...

[Angel Oracle]

Garbagebutt should get at least TEN games!

Garbage like he and Rafi Torres have no business being in the NHL.

Maybe Garbagebutt needs to have someone line him up at 50mph and slam him against the boards. That'd put an end to his garbage.

Do you think they took Perry into the locker room to make sure they were both still there?

LOL

[gotbeer]

Much better.

Great 3rd, was getting a bit worried at the end of the 2nd

[nate]

Andersen got lucky, he was giving up a lot of rebounds.  Need him to be better.

I think he only stopped two pucks cleanly. Everything else was a fat rebound. Dallas just couldn't get sticks on them to bury them.

 

Andersen is merely a stop gap to Gibson going forward.

Totally.  The Sharks will bury those.

"Dallas Stars forward Ryan Garbutt was fined $1,474.36 -- the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement"

So basically Garbutt gets nothing. I thought the NHL was going to be tough on repeat offenders?! Guess not.

You misinterpreted.  The NHL was going to be tough on Duck repeat offenders.  

 

The refs have been making so many phantom calls on the Ducks, I was really surprised Perry didn't get a penalty for delay of game.

[tennischmp]

Horrible start

[AngelsFaninGA]

Well hopefully they show up in game 7.

[Spirit]

They seriously suck right now.

[xboom28x]

I'm tired of Andersen and his fat ass rebounds he gives up. He rarely collects a shot cleanly.

[mrwicked]

The softies are just killing us.

Your goaltender has to save you at least one game a series. Lehtonen did. Anderson has just been giving up momentum killing softies all series.

I think it's Hiller from here on out.

[tennischmp]

Way too many penalties

[nate]

Andersen was terrible in this game but also Dallas is so much faster than the Ducks.  Beating them to every puck.  Have to win at home.  Not looking forward to another game 7 after last year.
