  1. I wonder if the rumor Ducks were talking to Vatanen are over now that they acquired Shattenkirk.
  2. I wrote 1.5 million but went back and though it was 5. my bad.
  3. I'm already resigned to the idea that GMBM is going to be sitting quietly on his barstool today, and then sometime next week he'll sign or trade for one or two 30+ yr old reclamation projects. Definitely a 3rd or 4th line forward and a 3rd line D-man. Players that we all have to go look up since we won't have heard of them.
  4. Gratz to Perry and Cogliano. I like Vegas but nice to see some former Ducks go to the Cup final.
  5. Definitely father time has caught up to Perry. It seems like all the injuries and punishment he took going to the dirty areas expedited his decline. But even Getzlaf is not nearly as dominate on the ice as he once was. Over the last couple of seasons I've seen younger guys push him off the puck. That never used to happen. sadly time waits for no man.
  6. Hey Everyone, I have not been able to watch any of the games live, I've only seen highlights on Youtube. But it seems to me (based on the highlights) that almost nobody on any team is bothering with defense.. It all seems to be hail Mary passes and run n gun offense. More so than I can ever remember. Am I the only one who sees it that way? I can't imagine the current Ducks team doing well against this type of play.
  7. Maybe he is considering retirement after next season and heading back to Regina. If next season doesn't start until December, by the time that season ends he'll be 36 years old. Maybe he's planning on taking a page from Scott Neidemeyer and skipping his last year. After watching the chaos in this country between Covid and the riots I could see him wanting to get out of dodge.
  8. Thing is.. Ducks need forwards who can score goals at this point.
  9. Tell me this isn't rigged. My money is on Montreal snagging the number one pick now. F this lottery system and F the Kings.
  10. I was never a Gibson "hater" but I always thought Freddie Andersen was the better pick. My biggest concern with Gibson was his durability. In his first couple of seasons he seemed to have issues moving post to post. Several teams picked up on that issue and repeatedly exploited it.He also was weak on breakaways and I rarely saw him steal a game. Over the last two seasons I've had nothing but respect for his performance. He's done more than his share to try and keep the team in games.He has had neither defensive nor offensive support from the team in front of him.
  11. Once this thing gets into the homeless population it is going to get really ugly. Those people already have compromised immune systems due to living outside, addiction issues etc. And they are the last people that want to be told what to do so they will run from authorities even if they are trying to help.The most vulnerable are the elderly. Some recent stats. AGE DEATH RATE confirmed cases DEATH RATE all cases 80+ years old 21.9% 14.8% 70-79 years old 8.0% 60-69 years old 3.6% 50-59 years old 1.3% 40-49 years old 0.4% 30-39 years old 0.2% 20-29 years old 0.2% 10-19 years old 0.2% 0-9 years old no fatalities
  12. This report is disturbing at the very least. https://www.foxnews.com/health/coronavirus-live-plastic-stainless-steel-for-up-to-3-days
  13. I think it was more likely that nobody wanted to pay the asking price for Quick. I have not really followed the Kings this year but from what I have heard in commentary regarding this trade the Kings have another prospect waiting in the wings they think will be better than Cambell and they needed to make room one way or another. As far as Clifford goes, my fondest memory of him is when Sheldon Brookbank rang his bell. I can still see the slow motion replay in my mind's eye.
  14. Kings trade Cambell and Clifford to Toronto for Trevor Moore , a 3rd round pick in 2020 and a 3rd round pick in 2021.
  15. Canadian fans are googling whether or not Gallant speaks French.
  16. There must be some behind the scene issues going on. The teams current situation does not warrant this sort of change. And like Jasoaks questioned, why Deboer when Laviolette is available. Very werd.
  17. Cogs got shafted in that whole ordeal.About a month earlier when cogs signed an extension with the Ducks it was mentioned in the press release that if he remained healthy he would exceed the current iron man record during that contract. I believe there were powers that be in Toronto that didn't like the idea of a "Mighty Duck" holding that record and when they saw the slightest chance to suspend him and break his streak they did.
  18. He has a meeting with DPS on Friday. I don't know if the hit was intentional.(probably was) but Ellis sure flopped down in typical prediver fashion.That walk of shame when Perry was ejected was terrible. Perry's production over 34 games is 3 goals and 10 assists for 13 points, 0.38 points per game. It's sad to see him decline. I wonder if he gets traded at the deadline or if the Stars resign him next year.
  19. It should have been blown dead, but the refs let it go. If one of the Ducks had pulled that move it would have stopped play.
  20. Seems like every time the Kings play a division rival they always give up a three point game. Can't hold a lead.
  21. Best of luck to you Corey Perry. I had hoped you could make a comeback next season. If you do it won't be with the Ducks I'm sad to say.
  22. As long as he doesn't get injured I think he can do it. But I think it will take another six or seven seasons. Even then it's going to take a concerted effort by players around him to feed him the puck. And as he gets closer I think other teams will naturally key on him to keep him from scoring. He succeeds now because that one timer he has is so fast,strong and accurate. At 33 he is in his prime. Over the next several years his reaction time is going to suffer. Unlike Selanne or Gretzky, he does not have very adept hands.You don't see him scoring many goals via his agility. But I do believe he can break the record at this point. Lets check back in two years and see where he is then. 😎
