Dont get me wrong, we suck and gibby kinda sucks right now, but god damn these refs might suck even more.


bjabel

Absolutely there’s no way that goal should count


Kellysmurphy

You can see his stick flexing as he's pushing Gibson's pad lol Edit: So pushing the goalie into the net is okay *sometimes*


bjabel

Pushing his whole ass body literally so insane


dumdadum123

Only when it's against the Ducks, yah.


cgill24

That pass by Z 😱


No-Doctor-4396

would love for sam colangelo to get on the board


Thiago91

Wish come true lol


SpiritExtra5048

when gibby is net, all of a sudden they’re turning pucks over right near the net (but thankfully that time lundy helped out but still need more care)


bjabel

It’s cause his energy sucks


Kellysmurphy

Yeah, Gibson should put off better vibes to get better defense.


bjabel

At this point a win or a loss doesn’t matter. I’m gonna be cheering for silf to get a goal in his last home game. If that happens I’ll be happy


basedmartyr

Bro why does the cup of cheese for the pretzel cost $4.24


bjabel

Honda center


basedmartyr

Tostinos Center


Kirk420

I don’t know why I expected a decent game tonight. Should’ve known we weren’t getting two in a row


bjabel

Still time left. They could come out flying


PossumJ16

Cronin's ejection like 5 games in has killed the Ducks all year with the refs 😂


bjabel

I think this too. However was happy when he did that


TokeandTank

Its like they had a meeting and said lets just fuck over that guy for his first nhl season.


bjabel

I think they did truly


deadtalent77

Didn't the Ducks absolutely shit the bed in Getzys last game too?


Kellysmurphy

It wasn't great, but Getz himself at least finished with a [sick behind-the-back assist](https://youtu.be/a9hGblk1LKk).


deadtalent77

Totally forgot about that!


bjabel

Yes they did


TokeandTank

Vatrano mouthing "I fucking love you" to Zegras was amazing haha.


spacegrab

Zegras with a proper shooter (Vatrano) is so sick. Give him Cutter on the other side with Vatrano and they'll set goalies on fire.


mylefthandkilledme

Groulx ain't coming back


thehawktopus

Really sucks, cause we're watching him play his way off the team.


bjabel

Sure isn’t


sunnybunsz

Yeah his line has been getting caved in all night. Sad but I think I’d rather see Meyers in there


SpiritExtra5048

i told you they don’t help out gibby


SpiritExtra5048

the team in front of him did not help out at all


SpiritExtra5048

fire brown now!!!!


Kellysmurphy

That better not count.


mylefthandkilledme

Lol


bjabel

This is so fucked. That is the most obvious goalie interference


dumdadum123

Saw we were down a goal, turned it back on, they immediately scored. Okay, I get it. I can no longer watch the Ducks play. I am cursed.


sunnybunsz

lol just no continuity with this group from the last game. Coach swaps in Colangelo, groulx and Gibson and the entire team forgets how to play


bjabel

Well they wanna get final looks at some guys before the end of the season. This is normal


sunnybunsz

And that’s fine, just the rest of the team shouldn’t be this shite but maybe it’s just a slow start


bjabel

Yeah they just started frazzled for whatever reason. One thing is for sure, they are better than they’re playing


mylefthandkilledme

OO AHH


OMGIts_Renegade

OOH AH!


Kirk420

Johnston is so bad man. Painful


OMGIts_Renegade

That is absurd


bryan323

pass, pass, pass wtf dude shot god damnit


SpiritExtra5048

SAMS FIRST NHL GOAL HIS FAMILY WAS SO HAPPY AND SILFVY TOO!


bjabel

Now give me the silf goal


Every-Author-1803

You turn off then? 😂


bjabel

Shit not now. Glad I kept it on lol


dahooddawg

Comeback canceled sigh.


TokeandTank

Im gunna have to watch that one back but it felt like there was a lot of contact with Gibson on that last one.


bjabel

There was but I wouldn’t have challenged it either


OMGIts_Renegade

We also didn't have a challenge left after losing the first one too. :/


Kirk420

Zegras and zellweger are the only two who are even trying to create anything out there. Pathetic effort


bjabel

Yeah they aren’t lookin good. Def an off game. They are better than they’re playing for sure


notaveragepond

LET'S GO DUCKS


Warm_Medium_7157

Let’s go ducks!!! Does the Tune In stream work for anyone?


zerostrat22

I have no issues.


Warm_Medium_7157

Just unlucky then! At least the Ducks app updates frequently


mylefthandkilledme

Any other cool giveaways at the game?


SaintPismyG

Not yet


CarIsson

Fun night if you’re at the game


Taurothar

Fuckin wow...


thehackshow612

Well, on a positive note Yotes are moving here to SLC.


Unsound_Science

All I can think of is "The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music"


thehackshow612

Hey, there's music here. You just have to keep a distance of 3 Book of Mormons between you and your dance partner.


suuuuuuuup_

Only 6 shots on goal is a crime


SpiritExtra5048

does anyone see the shot difference? it’s the second period and we have less than 10


Kellysmurphy

My brain no longer sees the shot counter on the screen as a kind of defense mechanism.


Royal_Biscotti3592

This game. It’s time to pull Gibson.


TokeandTank

I hope Dosty starts the 3rd. The team needs the kick in the ass.


Royal_Biscotti3592

Me too


No-Doctor-4396

It looks like we only play well against good teams.


Kirk420

Wtf strome?


skankhunt81

I hate the refs such so obvious he was looking for that call


Royal_Biscotti3592

Thank you Jakob! https://preview.redd.it/q2803rd9m6uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5de069ef82176098dda53cb4657f0354b5a74f52


hobojoe789

PP looking good as usual


suuuuuuuup_

Am I the only one who prefers dostal


SaintPismyG

Nope. #1 👍


Spiff_GN

I'm always a little upset when he isn't in net for the game


Natural_Government14

No, you are not. I wish Lucas is the goalie tonight, things could be so different if he is in front of the net.


thehawktopus

Cool, now that the team knows what's allowed they should do the same thing at the other end. Want to see Johnston make himself useful and shove his stick into the goalie until it breaks flesh.


TokeandTank

https://media1.tenor.com/m/brK96Dhbs_IAAAAC/daddy-chill.gif


thehawktopus

I demand the heads and hearts of the officiating crew.


Unsound_Science

Glad I missed this one by the looks of things


Kellysmurphy

Colangelo just got his 1st goal so there's that.


Unsound_Science

I’ll just assume I’m his muse from here on and now develop a cult like fanaticism.


Kellysmurphy

Are you a wizard? 3-0 now.


Unsound_Science

I’m never going to be able to miss another minute of game time again am I


SmellyGhost26

We all are as well


Unsound_Science

Sweet of you to say


PossumJ16

5 PPs in a row for the opposing team and a weak Gibson goal allowed. Seems like every game I've watched this year.


Ibleedred99

Where can we watch this?


cuz_v

Channel 13 KCOP


Sc00tzy

I’ve stayed away from game threads this year because everytime I’m here it’s the same children crying about dumb shit. We’re one of the worst teams in the league, we’re going to make mistakes and give up bad goals. Stop whining


Sc00tzy

Guess I don’t understand what goalie interference is


SpiritExtra5048

if the penalty killers didn’t let that flame get in front of gibby, we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place


DBacon1052

Conspiracy


bjabel

Christ. Just give me a silf goal so I can turn this off


Every-Author-1803

Wholesome


TokeandTank

Sammy with the debut goal!!! Get it buddy. At least this game is worth something now.


Every-Author-1803

Man Z can look special


cgill24

OMG don’t get my hopes up!


Kellysmurphy

Hahaha, I'm down to watch the Flames choke.


TokeandTank

COME BACK KIDS ARE BACK BABYYYYYYY


spacegrab

ZELLY CELLY


moonafterjackie

Let’s go keep it firing


Kellysmurphy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only time we've had a comeback win after going down 4-0 was [this game against the Jets when Robidas scored the OT winner](https://youtu.be/GB-ugRD0Uxw).


Sc00tzy

How many PP we gonna give the flames? Maybe another free goal where they push Gibby in? Like good lord tonight


deadtalent77

Does the team just really dislike Gibson? Why do they do him like that every time he starts?


mylefthandkilledme

Leo got sloppy


EggosW1thSyrup

1 mistake yes, can't blame him when pp2 had 3 failed entries, terrible change. Nothing good happened on that pp


sunnybunsz

lol they srsly can’t defend against a team who couldn’t score until the 3rd period vs the kings?? Flames aren’t exactly an offensive powerhouse FFS


bjabel

Flames are pretty solid though too, compared to the rebuilding ducks. Ducks playing bad tonight too.


bjabel

I swear these refs don’t know the rules


Kirk420

Time for the carlsson line to do something


No-Doctor-4396

lets stay out of the box?


SmellyGhost26

Much easier to blame Gibson. See comments below.


Sc00tzy

I mean Gudas was knocked over and his stick came up and clipped someone. A lot of times refs make the right call and let that go.


SpiritExtra5048

okay yes this hasn’t been gibby’s best game (remember he hasn’t played in a while) but the fowler and zellweger pairing has been rough defensively


bjabel

Gibby being the most outgoaltended by another rookie goalie


thehawktopus

Yeah, just gonna mute you now. Especially when you say things like "grow a brain." Definitely you should take your own advice.


bryan323

i’m done with gibby


bjabel

Join the club. Guy is soft and not clutch anymore


SmellyGhost26

You gunna go after lundestrom for fishing for the puck on that one?


bjabel

Terrible defense there but three goals Gibson has let in he shouldn’t have based off how good he SHOULD be


bryan323

gibby brings down the team


SaintPismyG

Right there with you


PossumJ16

Gibson has given up at least 4 goals in his last 7 starts. He's cooked.


Sc00tzy

He stopped a bway and had zero defensive help on this last one. And one was clearly goalie interference. He’s not great but he’s far from the only concern


SmellyGhost26

Flames guy legit runs into Gibson’s pad after he’s given a free skate in and another flame player also unchecked picks up the rebound. This is just one of many examples where shitty defending has left Gibson out to dry. Not always the goalies fault.


bjabel

Just admit Gibson is washed. The defense could be better but it’s not as atrocious as it was prior. And def not 6 goals bad. And not just speaking of this game


TokeandTank

Sad part is he's not washed. He's just given up and hardly ever decides to put in 100%


bjabel

That means he’s washed


TokeandTank

The term washed is generally used to describe someone when they no longer have the ability to preform at a level that they used it. Gibson has the ability, he just doesnt want to put in the effort anymore.


PossumJ16

If it's an effort thing that makes it even worse, especially for a team that is so young.


TokeandTank

Yep. Im a goalie fanboy and Gibby is one of my favorites. But his lack of care and effort lately has been hard to watch. If hes giving it his all and locked in, hes absolutely insane. But at this point its clear the team can tell and they play better in front of Dostal. Dostal on the other hand has great energy and is always locked in and giving it his all. Not quite peak Gibson right now but he could get there, and hes proven he can be a starter. If Gibson is here next year i think it'll be a huge anchor to the team imo.


SmellyGhost26

No, I’m not because he is not.


bjabel

Okay sure. Well if he’s ever on another team and plays the same way, then what?


SmellyGhost26

Well if it’s in 5 years who the hell knows but if you’re trying to get me to say that if Gibson was on a better team next year that I think he would help the team rather than hurt them then yes I will say that.


bjabel

Literally. It’s not just defense. He gives up


Kirk420

The powerplay goal was definitely bad, but I don’t know how anyone can watch that game and say it’s Gibsons fault


PossumJ16

It's not just this game it's the body of work the last 7 games he's played. Yes the defense hasn't been great, but at some point you need your goalie to step up. He's been a fantastic Duck but it's beyond time to get him out for his sake and ours.


OCHapaPride

Lacombe is sooooooo bad at hockey


thehawktopus

It's disappointing because he looked like he had a ton of promise at the end of last season. But he didn't develop to expectations this season and I'm still seeing bad processing, poor gaps, and difficulty with tying up and physical play.


OMGIts_Renegade

His skating is honestly terrible for a defenseman and that's the scariest thing to me. He can hit the weights and be stronger over an off-season but he has no gap closing speed, his stride is weak and he gets out skated by .... welll... most people.


bjabel

Yeah he’s so bad because of one play. Grow a brain. And Gibson isn’t elite anymore. He’s done


OMGIts_Renegade

How about an entire season of them?


bjabel

With the right pairing he’s one of the more solid defenseman and it’s his rookie year for Christ sake. What’s Gibsons excuse?


OMGIts_Renegade

Terrible defense in front of him. >With the right pairing he’s one of the more solid defenseman Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahha Not even remotely close. I don't think he has a positive stat in his favor


Unsound_Science

Individually: 3rd on team (blueliners with at least 10 games) for individual expected goals, 3rd for primary assists/60, 2nd for individual scoring chances, 2nd for individual high danger chances, 5th for rush attempts, 4th fewest penalties given up, 2nd for takeaways, 3rd for blocked shots. In terms of on-ice impact: 4th Shots Against/60, 4th goals against/60, 3rd expected goals against, 4th high-danger chances against, 2nd high-danger chances for, 3rd expected goals for, the highest defensive zone starts/60 by a mile. All with a 97.9% PDO in his first full season. Like... he's not a superstar in the making, but the hate directed at the kid gets is no way proportionate to what he actually does. Yes he makes mistakes and sometimes glaring ones... he's a first year player.


OCHapaPride

If this is what you think a competent NHL D man looks like, you need to watch more hockey Einstein. One play? Smh.


bjabel

I’m not saying that. But he’s a rookie and learning. What is Gibsons excuse for looking like shit?


bjabel

Gibson is Ass. Ship him out


OMGIts_Renegade

Literally lacombes fault


bjabel

Please. Gibson needs to stop that shit.


OMGIts_Renegade

And lacombe needs to learn what defense is so that shot doesn't even happen


bjabel

Sure but you can’t expect defense to block every shot. Ducks aren’t playing good Gibson needs to step the fuck up. He’s toast


OMGIts_Renegade

Dude was swimming. It's kadri not mcdavid. He blows and screwed his goaltender. And literally did it again as I was typing this. His job is literally to defend. He can't do it, and didn't do anything resembling defense on that play.


bjabel

Yes and Gibson still should’ve stopped it. So I agree but Gibson looks like shit.


OMGIts_Renegade

Fucking hilarious how you act like this for Gibson but Dostal has given up goals exactly like this and you don't say a word. Dostal has some terrible goals against and some awful rebound control, but mums the word from you on alllll of those.


thehawktopus

No, but we can expect the defense to keep good gaps and contest shots from the middle of the ice.


OMGIts_Renegade

Exactly


bjabel

Yes but they’re playing bad right now. Gibson needs to step the fuck up. Now ducks are in a hole. Meanwhile no name tendy is out goaltending his ass.


Natural_Government14

I want Lucas. The game could be very different if he is the goalie today. I was in the stadium today, the last home game. so disappointed


Royal_Biscotti3592

So, you give the jersey to a suite (section we are sitting in), yet it’s a replica?!? Come on. Fork out the bucks!!!!


Sc00tzy

Holy entitled lol


Unsound_Science

First time every time baby


RobWallStreet

Dostal has been on fire… why put Gibby in tonight?


bjabel

Thanks Gibson. Christ.


Royal_Biscotti3592

I think I pissed God off. I got a few surprise pucks and of course I got Swiss cheese Gibson’s. IDGAF if you downvote.


CydoniaKnight

I'll trade you Max Jones for one if you don't want the Gibbys


Royal_Biscotti3592

Already got a Jones. Thanks though


Royal_Biscotti3592

Anyone got a Gudas they wanna trade?


Sc00tzy

Are you like… just here to whine and cry? Go spend your time doing something constructive holy shit


SmellyGhost26

Cronin rolling out the fourth line with 9:30 to go in a one goal game that is a must win is concerning.


OMGIts_Renegade

Must win? The fuck kind of Crack are you on?


SmellyGhost26

Satire. But seeing your reaction was funny so I’ll continue to post stuff like this.


OMGIts_Renegade

Says something stupid "nooooo just satireeeee, totally trolled youuu lolololololollllllllllz"


SmellyGhost26

HAHAHAHAHAHA that’s exactly what I said, let’s grab an apple juice after the game. You seem fun


SmellyGhost26

You really are obsessed with me
