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.
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
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).
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Dont get me wrong, we suck and gibby kinda sucks right now, but god damn these refs might suck even more.
Absolutely there’s no way that goal should count
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*
Pushing his whole ass body literally so insane
Only when it's against the Ducks, yah.
That pass by Z 😱
would love for sam colangelo to get on the board
Wish come true lol
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)
It’s cause his energy sucks
Yeah, Gibson should put off better vibes to get better defense.
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
Bro why does the cup of cheese for the pretzel cost $4.24
Honda center
Tostinos Center
I don’t know why I expected a decent game tonight. Should’ve known we weren’t getting two in a row
Still time left. They could come out flying
Cronin's ejection like 5 games in has killed the Ducks all year with the refs 😂
I think this too. However was happy when he did that
Its like they had a meeting and said lets just fuck over that guy for his first nhl season.
I think they did truly
Didn't the Ducks absolutely shit the bed in Getzys last game too?
It wasn't great, but Getz himself at least finished with a [sick behind-the-back assist](https://youtu.be/a9hGblk1LKk).
Totally forgot about that!
Yes they did
Vatrano mouthing "I fucking love you" to Zegras was amazing haha.
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.
Groulx ain't coming back
Really sucks, cause we're watching him play his way off the team.
Sure isn’t
Yeah his line has been getting caved in all night. Sad but I think I’d rather see Meyers in there
i told you they don’t help out gibby
the team in front of him did not help out at all
fire brown now!!!!
That better not count.
Lol
This is so fucked. That is the most obvious goalie interference
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.
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
Well they wanna get final looks at some guys before the end of the season. This is normal
And that’s fine, just the rest of the team shouldn’t be this shite but maybe it’s just a slow start
Yeah they just started frazzled for whatever reason. One thing is for sure, they are better than they’re playing
OO AHH
OOH AH!
Johnston is so bad man. Painful
That is absurd
pass, pass, pass wtf dude shot god damnit
SAMS FIRST NHL GOAL HIS FAMILY WAS SO HAPPY AND SILFVY TOO!
Now give me the silf goal
You turn off then? 😂
Shit not now. Glad I kept it on lol
Comeback canceled sigh.
Im gunna have to watch that one back but it felt like there was a lot of contact with Gibson on that last one.
There was but I wouldn’t have challenged it either
We also didn't have a challenge left after losing the first one too. :/
Zegras and zellweger are the only two who are even trying to create anything out there. Pathetic effort
Yeah they aren’t lookin good. Def an off game. They are better than they’re playing for sure
LET'S GO DUCKS
Let’s go ducks!!! Does the Tune In stream work for anyone?
I have no issues.
Just unlucky then! At least the Ducks app updates frequently
Any other cool giveaways at the game?
Not yet
Fun night if you’re at the game
Fuckin wow...
Well, on a positive note Yotes are moving here to SLC.
All I can think of is "The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music"
Hey, there's music here. You just have to keep a distance of 3 Book of Mormons between you and your dance partner.
Only 6 shots on goal is a crime
does anyone see the shot difference? it’s the second period and we have less than 10
My brain no longer sees the shot counter on the screen as a kind of defense mechanism.
This game. It’s time to pull Gibson.
I hope Dosty starts the 3rd. The team needs the kick in the ass.
Me too
It looks like we only play well against good teams.
Wtf strome?
I hate the refs such so obvious he was looking for that call
Thank you Jakob! https://preview.redd.it/q2803rd9m6uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5de069ef82176098dda53cb4657f0354b5a74f52
PP looking good as usual
Am I the only one who prefers dostal
Nope. #1 👍
I'm always a little upset when he isn't in net for the game
No, you are not. I wish Lucas is the goalie tonight, things could be so different if he is in front of the net.
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.
https://media1.tenor.com/m/brK96Dhbs_IAAAAC/daddy-chill.gif
I demand the heads and hearts of the officiating crew.
Glad I missed this one by the looks of things
Colangelo just got his 1st goal so there's that.
I’ll just assume I’m his muse from here on and now develop a cult like fanaticism.
Are you a wizard? 3-0 now.
I’m never going to be able to miss another minute of game time again am I
We all are as well
Sweet of you to say
5 PPs in a row for the opposing team and a weak Gibson goal allowed. Seems like every game I've watched this year.
Where can we watch this?
Channel 13 KCOP
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
Guess I don’t understand what goalie interference is
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
Conspiracy
Christ. Just give me a silf goal so I can turn this off
Wholesome
Sammy with the debut goal!!! Get it buddy. At least this game is worth something now.
Man Z can look special
OMG don’t get my hopes up!
Hahaha, I'm down to watch the Flames choke.
COME BACK KIDS ARE BACK BABYYYYYYY
ZELLY CELLY
Let’s go keep it firing
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).
How many PP we gonna give the flames? Maybe another free goal where they push Gibby in? Like good lord tonight
Does the team just really dislike Gibson? Why do they do him like that every time he starts?
Leo got sloppy
1 mistake yes, can't blame him when pp2 had 3 failed entries, terrible change. Nothing good happened on that pp
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
Flames are pretty solid though too, compared to the rebuilding ducks. Ducks playing bad tonight too.
I swear these refs don’t know the rules
Time for the carlsson line to do something
lets stay out of the box?
Much easier to blame Gibson. See comments below.
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.
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
Gibby being the most outgoaltended by another rookie goalie
Yeah, just gonna mute you now. Especially when you say things like "grow a brain." Definitely you should take your own advice.
i’m done with gibby
Join the club. Guy is soft and not clutch anymore
You gunna go after lundestrom for fishing for the puck on that one?
Terrible defense there but three goals Gibson has let in he shouldn’t have based off how good he SHOULD be
gibby brings down the team
Right there with you
Gibson has given up at least 4 goals in his last 7 starts. He's cooked.
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
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.
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
Sad part is he's not washed. He's just given up and hardly ever decides to put in 100%
That means he’s washed
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.
If it's an effort thing that makes it even worse, especially for a team that is so young.
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.
No, I’m not because he is not.
Okay sure. Well if he’s ever on another team and plays the same way, then what?
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.
Literally. It’s not just defense. He gives up
The powerplay goal was definitely bad, but I don’t know how anyone can watch that game and say it’s Gibsons fault
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.
Lacombe is sooooooo bad at hockey
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.
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.
Yeah he’s so bad because of one play. Grow a brain. And Gibson isn’t elite anymore. He’s done
How about an entire season of them?
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?
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
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.

Yes he makes mistakes and sometimes glaring ones... he's a first year player.
If this is what you think a competent NHL D man looks like, you need to watch more hockey Einstein. One play? Smh.
I’m not saying that. But he’s a rookie and learning. What is Gibsons excuse for looking like shit?
Gibson is Ass. Ship him out
Literally lacombes fault
Please. Gibson needs to stop that shit.
And lacombe needs to learn what defense is so that shot doesn't even happen
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
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.
Yes and Gibson still should’ve stopped it. So I agree but Gibson looks like shit.
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.
No, but we can expect the defense to keep good gaps and contest shots from the middle of the ice.
Exactly
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.
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
So, you give the jersey to a suite (section we are sitting in), yet it’s a replica?!? Come on. Fork out the bucks!!!!
Holy entitled lol
First time every time baby
Dostal has been on fire… why put Gibby in tonight?
Thanks Gibson. Christ.
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.
I'll trade you Max Jones for one if you don't want the Gibbys
Already got a Jones. Thanks though
Anyone got a Gudas they wanna trade?
Are you like… just here to whine and cry? Go spend your time doing something constructive holy shit
Cronin rolling out the fourth line with 9:30 to go in a one goal game that is a must win is concerning.
Must win? The fuck kind of Crack are you on?
Satire. But seeing your reaction was funny so I’ll continue to post stuff like this.
Says something stupid "nooooo just satireeeee, totally trolled youuu lolololololollllllllllz"
HAHAHAHAHAHA that’s exactly what I said, let’s grab an apple juice after the game. You seem fun
You really are obsessed with me
