dtsdlaw 8,933 Report post Posted January 11, 2020 5 hours ago, PetrSykora said: Detroit and Ottawa played the funniest 3 on 3 overtime period ever last night. It literally looked like those toddlers who come out to play hockey during the first intermission at some arenas. Belly flopping, whiffing on shots, everyone chasing the puck, missing wide open nets, it was wonderful. I know they won the game in a shootout but nobody is going to catch the Red Wings. 12 wins at this point of the season is a legitimate marvel. Didn’t the Ducks blow a 2 goal lead against Detroit and lose at home? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has to be something behind the scenes? This is more surprising than the Shero firing. Vegas is doing fine and is only 3 points back of the division lead also. Nothing in the team’s statement indicates that it’s for anything other than hockey reasons either. I don’t get it either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PetrSykora 12,762 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 I think I would much rather have Gallant behind the bench over Eakins but that's not going to happen. His name sounds French so watch Montréal fire Julien for him. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadowduck 2,161 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From everything I’m reading on Twitter there’s no real whispers of anything other than the Knights being 4-6 in their last 10 and their standings. If Gallant wants to be an assistant, for the love of god throw all the money at the guy. Give him our special teams and have him give Eakins advice. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get Gallant in here. we've been talking about bold moves.... that would certainly be one. but... i think we all know that it doesn't really fit in with BM's or the ownership's general MO. it would be completely out of character of either of them, let alone both together, to do that.

hoxxey 904 Report post Posted January 16, 2020 And then there is the Montreal power play. I thought the ducks were bad but the habs are pretty awful at it... chicago nearly scored a couple of times in the first minute of the PP... Ouch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoxxey 904 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 I was listening to NHL radio on Sirius over the weekend (as well as last week) and I noticed that their coverage never mentioned the ducks. They covered Vancouver and San Jose but no mention at all about the ducks. They never even mentioned the upcoming game tonight against San Jose - they said there were two games tonight - St. Louis vs Vancouver and Dallas vs Tampa - couple this along with the zero presence of Ducks at the all star game - talk about being "shunned"... No wonder the owners don't care much about the team - I'm seeing why. Makes me want the ducks to win more and more. Go Ducks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadowduck 2,161 Report post Posted February 6, 2020 Kings trade Cambell and Clifford to Toronto for Trevor Moore , a 3rd round pick in 2020 and a 3rd round pick in 2021. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasoaks 2,435 Report post Posted February 6, 2020 wow...Kings getting rid of Campbell for two 3rd rounders?? (possibly one of them turns into a 2nd)...i dunno...Campbell looked like the real deal and was one of the reasons I was nervous about playing the Kings in the future...but...i guess....they think Quick can stay relevant long enough? ugh... i dunno.... i also have no idea what Trevor Moore brings...and losing Clifford is whatever.

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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasoaks 2,435 Report post Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) also, geez...McDavid is insane...i dunno guys...he might be the best player to ever play the game in regards to skill... he's fast, he's strong, he's got crazy accuracy, he's got vision, he's got smarts, he's got hands...and he's not even in his prime... I mean, obviously Lemieux and Gretzky and Crosby and Ovechkin are like...up there...but...man you see their highlights and then you see McDavid highlights and it just looks like McDavid is in another universe.
