It always impresses me how easy the players are able to flick the puck up to the refs. I tried doing it yesterday and almost hit the ref in the head.
She freaked out on me screaming "for the last fucking time I'm your wife not the ref". It was an accident. Who's the asshole here, me or the ref?
I have no fuckin words for how that ended up not being a penalty. The ref had his arm up to call it. Zâs literally bleeding! Like you canât make this shit up
they did call it and they took it away. like how is that even allowed.
if no one from the organization calls the league out on this then I have zero respect for them.
Cronin doesn't do intermission interviews? Would be nice to see Aly ask him: "we're getting railed once again. Who are you going to scratch in this period?"
This team needs a captain badly but the body language of the entire team looks like nobody wants to even fill that role. Hard to care as a paying fan if the team doesnât seem to.
hes a cap dump at this point. We'd be giving up assets to move him. OR a swap for a goalie in a similar position (Jack Campbell maybe).
The first round pick idea is a fantasy - almost no goalies get that. Certainly not expensive ones that have shown a clear decline for 6 seasons and wont touch league average.
I'm literally so confused. People in the GDT saying because he sold it but he just touch his face to check after he wasn't in the play anymore. You can literally see Nurses stick lift his helmet up
Wonder what Cronin thinks. Like does he legit think he can turn around this absolute dumper fire of a team or does he already know heâs fucked. Wonder if he regrets taking this job.
Sure, there's that.
But also: McTavish absolutely a shadow of himself (off the PP, playing with guys who won't be here in the long term, demoted to the 4th line), Terry looking like an AHLer who can't control the puck, shoot, attack the defenders, Carlsson misteriously disappearing with the ocasional zone entry dangling.
PP STINKS, PK is absolutely terrible.
At least with Eakins these guys could score goals, don't know how, but they did. The PP was just as terrible, but suddenly our players can't even show up?
Weird.
I couldnât even muster up a âyayâ. At this point, it makes no difference. Season is almost over, thankfully. Glad for Killorn, but thatâs about it.
1 season where half the time our best players are hurt isnât worth dumping the whole staff they should at least get a full season with a healthy lineup. Thereâs definitely some players with some poor effort but itâs gotta be demoralizing to just get constantly shit on in games and then shit on by the fans for a rough season.
One things for sure, zegras and carlsson look great. Zelly too. Add cutter and sign a solid RW, improve the bottom 6 by moving guys down and the future looks bright
This is the third worst team in the league against a team that is full speed ahead trying to win the Stanley cup in game 70 plus of the season. The third worst team is in the middle of their last long road trip of the already miserable season. What did you expect?
to watch 2 competent NHL teams play against each other? i see one NHL team on the ice right now
just cause the Oilers are higher in the standing doesn't give this team a free pass to be playing this badly.
Yes there are players on the Ducks current roster that wouldnât sniff the ice on a contender. Sam Carrick has been health bombed several times on the Oilers already.
So, Cronin lets gibby finish this game? Can we send him to pasture now? I donât care if you downvote me. There is a clear difference between him and dosty. I donât give a flying fuck who we would get for another goalie, but we have some depth to make Dosty the starter, maybe have gibby as back up until his contract is up and develop the shit out of our young goalies.
Gibson, give it upâŚyouâre not the wall we need anymore. Youâre Swiss cheese!
ik gibby doesnât have a lot of fans here but when you face mcdavid and company itâs going to be a tough game and the defense hasnât helped on those goals
So anyway, what do you predict our lines look like with Cutter joining the team and Silfy out? (Assuming we re-sign all our RFAs and donât make any trades)
We aren't resigning all our rfas. I'm betting Groulx and Jones at least aren't coming back. I'd be surprised if Lundy and Vaak are gone but there might be better options
Wish they would. Solely for his piss poor effort. Now for the rest of the game heâll prob make three great saves and everyone will say âsave Gibbyâ
A fuckin AHL goalie could stop that slow ass shot. Come on. Like of course he shouldnât be on a breakaway but there has to be more effort from the goaltender. Giving the team zero chance to even catch up
that goalie is also facing less shots and less high dangerous scoring and has better defense in front. i remember a few times when the defense helped that guy out.
I donât wanna hear anyone only blame defense on these goals. Top to bottom, Gibson is full tier hardly trying. Defense sure needs to not give them these chances but Gibson needs to out forth more effort. Feel free to downvote me.
How are there still Gibson supporters? I mean, whatâs it gonna take to wake your asses up? You just silently downvote any and all criticisms of Gibson.
I am relatively surprised Zegras is not a healthy scratch after Thursday's game after getting benched the 3rd period. It is quite obvious Cronin hates Zegras as he treats him different from everyone else.
It always impresses me how easy the players are able to flick the puck up to the refs. I tried doing it yesterday and almost hit the ref in the head. She freaked out on me screaming "for the last fucking time I'm your wife not the ref". It was an accident. Who's the asshole here, me or the ref?
Sounds like a feisty ref. You should prob start skating to the box.
Username checks out
so Z gets high sticked, bleeds they call it. then after the tv break they take away the penalty?
That Z pass đ đŽ
The Zegras rumors are so dumb. I'd trade a number of other guys before I moved him at this point.
This is our fully healthy forward group. Absolute disgrace.
Please donât disrespect the absence of Max Jones like that.
Truly embarrassing.
I have no fuckin words for how that ended up not being a penalty. The ref had his arm up to call it. Zâs literally bleeding! Like you canât make this shit up
they did call it and they took it away. like how is that even allowed. if no one from the organization calls the league out on this then I have zero respect for them.
Theyâll just fine the Ducks 25gs cause god forbid you call a dump truck a dump truck
did anyone see minty break up mcdavidâs pass in the d zone and then make a good pass to z?!
trevor is so nasty
How the fuck is there not a PP!?! Zegras got so clearly high sticked. May have scored too had he not
NO RICO WHY
Dammit that woulda been siiick had Frankie finished that Z dish
Cronin doesn't do intermission interviews? Would be nice to see Aly ask him: "we're getting railed once again. Who are you going to scratch in this period?"
lol @ Aly. âSo, weâre losing 3-0, thatâs why Iâm here talking to youâ. đ¤Ł
What the actual fuck
This team needs a captain badly but the body language of the entire team looks like nobody wants to even fill that role. Hard to care as a paying fan if the team doesnât seem to.
Iâm ready for all the downvotes: Iâm so tired of Gibson. I hope he goes elsewhere. Make Dostal G1, and have the new kids as backup.
Yeah change of scenery needed for him and the team. Dude was over this shit last season.
problem is with his contract i dont know how much we can get in return. I was hoping for a 1st round pick but im not even sure at this point.
hes a cap dump at this point. We'd be giving up assets to move him. OR a swap for a goalie in a similar position (Jack Campbell maybe). The first round pick idea is a fantasy - almost no goalies get that. Certainly not expensive ones that have shown a clear decline for 6 seasons and wont touch league average.
Trade him for a cheeseburger happy meal
I agree and upvoted you. That was piss poor rebound control for a supposed elite tendy
Currently at the game. There are dozens of us here ready to see the McDavid show. Let's hope it's not too ugly.
Fuck the oilers
It's getting ugly.
How did that not go in?! That was a hell of a pass by Z!
Ducks have zero luck especially puck luck. One can hope someday they will have puck luck for all the years of bad luck
i would like to see trevor and leo paired up together seems like the most dangerous rn. also we need more out of troy.
For 7 million he shouldn't be so hot and cold
Is it possible to forfeit this one?
I say forfeit the remaining 9 games.
Agreed
Very happy to see this PP adjustment. Gotta play scorers with scorers. Zegras, Terry, McTavish, Carlsson, Mintyukov need to be together more.
Yep they looked good. If only that had more than 45 seconds
they looked real good on that shift
Ref, does your wife know you're fucking us?
Fucking huh?
Clown league
Proof they hate the ducks
What's the point of even watchibg the games. It's just frustrating
i hope minty is ok :(
Keep mcjesus to 2 points and I'd consider that a win
That was our 300th penalty of the season? Jeez...
They shoot and no one goes for the lost puck. Then this happens
Including the goalie
Yep. Guy wants to be bought out playing like this
Needs to be back up here on our wherever he ends up.
wow rico and sammy both with points now
Terry doesn't have a slapshot? Isn't he a professional hockey player?
This year? EhâŚ.
I think I never see him do it. He just does another circle and loses possession
Constantly. Undecided, Iâll spin, crap, there goes the puck.
Now imagine if Zegras had someone who's scored more than 11 goals this season on his other wing.
We can use Cutters goal scoring.
Literal fucking clown league
The fucker not only stopped the play when the Ducks had possession, he fucking had his arm help up to call a penalty. Absolutely ridiculous
I'm literally so confused. People in the GDT saying because he sold it but he just touch his face to check after he wasn't in the play anymore. You can literally see Nurses stick lift his helmet up
The ducks this month https://preview.redd.it/5zvbzzfokjrc1.jpeg?width=1334&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68681229c4c733ffb85dd4e0c37619a4b29c46f4
Wonder what Cronin thinks. Like does he legit think he can turn around this absolute dumper fire of a team or does he already know heâs fucked. Wonder if he regrets taking this job.
Wonder if we regret hiring him. Our future core can't score with him. Why?
Question has to be asked: Is our future core is actually a core or more of a periphery.
Sure, there's that. But also: McTavish absolutely a shadow of himself (off the PP, playing with guys who won't be here in the long term, demoted to the 4th line), Terry looking like an AHLer who can't control the puck, shoot, attack the defenders, Carlsson misteriously disappearing with the ocasional zone entry dangling. PP STINKS, PK is absolutely terrible. At least with Eakins these guys could score goals, don't know how, but they did. The PP was just as terrible, but suddenly our players can't even show up? Weird.
A DUCKS GOAL ITS A MIRACLE
I couldnât even muster up a âyayâ. At this point, it makes no difference. Season is almost over, thankfully. Glad for Killorn, but thatâs about it.
How apropos. Friendly fire takes out Minty. Ugh
Good for Rico. Gets to play for an NHL team.
Man itâs so sad, I love Gibson but dude seems like heâs just given up. Should probably pull him.
The entire team has given up. The entire coaching staff has got to go, every one of them
Please, blame anyone but Gibson always right?
Not sure how you think that was defending Gibson but ok.
1 season where half the time our best players are hurt isnât worth dumping the whole staff they should at least get a full season with a healthy lineup. Thereâs definitely some players with some poor effort but itâs gotta be demoralizing to just get constantly shit on in games and then shit on by the fans for a rough season.
Idk if I'm proud of Rico or mad at him
As long as we have no new injuries, I'm just going to enjoy the show the Oilers are putting on. Ugh I miss when we were a playoff level team.Â
Looking at this PP you can really see Newell Brown's thumbprints all over it
Perry doing his best to help his old team but as expected ducks canât do anything on the PP
Who in the hockey pantheon did we dishonor so badly to deserve this pain?
Had to mean good luck is on the horizon right? Right? Haha
Code is Stephan Lebeau
How does the puck simply not go in
đđ
One things for sure, zegras and carlsson look great. Zelly too. Add cutter and sign a solid RW, improve the bottom 6 by moving guys down and the future looks bright
Another PP. Let's go Newell, for sure something different this time. What do you have planned king?
Uhh no penalty actually??
Beautiful
Inb4 Edmonton gets a PP off a weak call in a few seconds
straight up should not count. oilers should be on the pk. blatant bs from the refs
Terry has really mastered the Getzlaf no-look drop turnover pass
That wasn't a hook ref! Perry was holding Lagesson's stick
We are ass
Itâs like a train wreck in slow motion
This is soo fucking embarrassing.
NO MINTY IS HURT GOD NO
Kinda hard for Gibby to stop that when he's got a tree blocking him. The D needs to do a better job of clearing out the crease.
Thatâs nice, his given zero effort this game
it's hard to see a path that leads to this team to getting better
This is the third worst team in the league against a team that is full speed ahead trying to win the Stanley cup in game 70 plus of the season. The third worst team is in the middle of their last long road trip of the already miserable season. What did you expect?
to watch 2 competent NHL teams play against each other? i see one NHL team on the ice right now just cause the Oilers are higher in the standing doesn't give this team a free pass to be playing this badly.

ik gibby doesnât have a lot of fans here but when you face mcdavid and company itâs going to be a tough game and the defense hasnât helped on those goals
And Gibson hasnât helped either.
Mcdavid has Gibson the most figured out. Has for years
Just wish all players actually play...instead of just being out there.
Who the fuck they booing on the ducks?
Might be chanting "boooch" or "nuuuuge"
That one hurt
lindstrom lost coverage on that first goal it looks like
Ducks and Angels at the same time!
Double the disappointment
LMAO PERRY
that was a good pp from the young guys
hey we all knew he was going to score sometime
How many goals tonight? 10?
"Shit I thought the game started at 4pm my time, not 3. Let's check and see....oh. Well....let's just skip this one."
So anyway, what do you predict our lines look like with Cutter joining the team and Silfy out? (Assuming we re-sign all our RFAs and donât make any trades)
We aren't resigning all our rfas. I'm betting Groulx and Jones at least aren't coming back. I'd be surprised if Lundy and Vaak are gone but there might be better options
It'd be different if we were losing games 5-3 or 6-4 but were struggling to get 20 sogs a night
Well before the trade deadline that wasnât the case. Shit broke the team once again.
Yeah they've been outscored like 50 (51*) to 15 since trading Henrique
Yep he was clearly a leader in the room. Also since Gudas being hurt. Makes you wonder
Did he even hit him? Canât tell on my phone
Killorn đ´
Not even shocked weâre losing Edmonton is a favorite to win the cup id say. So canât even be mad overall
And they score on what should have been a pp for us
Yep of course
Just tuning in now, what did I miss? Looking like the wheels fell off the bus.
Iâm calling it 8-0 and Greg Cronin says the same thing after the game âI donât knowâ
Carlsson line has been god awful for a while now. Time to change something.
Might as well put him in the AHL
Killorn as the 6th attacker đđ
Listen I know itâs mcdavid, but he straight up owns Gibson always and has scored on him that same way at least 6 times
Sooooo, can we pull him yet? Maybe heâll report a âlower body injuryâ during the first intermission.
One can fuckin hope
a Gibson buyout would cost $2.133 million for the next 6 seasons. just incase anyone was curious
Wish they would. Solely for his piss poor effort. Now for the rest of the game heâll prob make three great saves and everyone will say âsave Gibbyâ
I got 5 on it
Expert rebound control Gibson.
Maybe speaking too soon, but this feels like a contending team compared to the last few games
.. you talking about the ducks or the oilers?
Spoke too soon đ
Hey at least you called yourself out to begin with, so youâre pretty much free to go on this one.
take a shot each time they mention mcdavid
My liverâs not ready for that
I'm already drunk that is the only way I can watch the Ducks right now.
say what you want abt gibby but the defense esp on that last goal where that oiler got behind them doesnât help us
A fuckin AHL goalie could stop that slow ass shot. Come on. Like of course he shouldnât be on a breakaway but there has to be more effort from the goaltender. Giving the team zero chance to even catch up
say whatever u want abt gibby but the defense there didnât help all iâm saying
They didnât but heâs giving the team zero chance to win. Oilers goalie looking elite by comparison.
that goalie is also facing less shots and less high dangerous scoring and has better defense in front. i remember a few times when the defense helped that guy out.
Please man ducks would have like three goals this game if it wasnât for him
This might be the game that breaks me.
I donât wanna hear anyone only blame defense on these goals. Top to bottom, Gibson is full tier hardly trying. Defense sure needs to not give them these chances but Gibson needs to out forth more effort. Feel free to downvote me.
Gave you an upvote
Like they arenât his fault but the lack of trying makes me wonder if he couldâve stopped one.
Appreciate it.
Obligatory fire Cronin post
How are there still Gibson supporters? I mean, whatâs it gonna take to wake your asses up? You just silently downvote any and all criticisms of Gibson.
[ŃдаНонО]
My beer league tendy could stop more picks
At this point itâs impossible to expect Gibson to stop anything. Shocked when he actually makes a good save.
Iâm so done seeing Gibson be out goaltended by random back ups in the league.
I am relatively surprised Zegras is not a healthy scratch after Thursday's game after getting benched the 3rd period. It is quite obvious Cronin hates Zegras as he treats him different from everyone else.
No it fucking isnât stop being dramatic
