The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

I want Maroon back on the top line with Getz and Perry. That line seems to have the best chemistry.

 

Sekac needs to go back to the 3rd line. He had good chemistry with Rakell last year.

I want to get down to SD and catch a few Gulls games this season.  If they build a nice following I wonder what will happen with that arena.  That place was a dump when I use to go down there as a kid and has been largely unchanged minus the new scoreboard. Is there any other arenas that they could upgrade to in SD?

 

No, if there was they would be playing there instead of at VVCC. The only other decent sized arena in San Diego is at SDSU, and that's basketball only. 

 

In 10 years or so, if the Gulls are a long term success, I could see them going in on an arena with SDSU.

I think the important things to note about the Sports Arena are (1) it's old and it shows it's age. But it's clean and they're improving it steadily. They need to hire a good designer. Some of their decorating lacks a quality appearance. (2) The width of the seats and leg room are excellent. Smaller arena and the seats have good sight lines. There may not be a bad seat in the Honda Center, but I think the cheaper seats here are better. And, the better seats are more comfortable.

sigh.  soft goal allowed.

[nate]

very soft goal.  this crap is getting old already.  New guys have no chemistry and these new boards make home ice more like neutral ice.

[gotbeer]

Yay.  Another soft goal.  

[gotbeer]

Dobin.   Not a good first appearance.  Already Andersen back in.

[gotbeer]

Man, all the offseason moves and changing the team up is looking to be a bad move atm.  Hopefully it gets better.

[tennischmp]

not a good 1st period at all

[nate]

So much for giving this team more speed lol.  How terrible.  Horcoff is so bad and Rakell seems to have regressed.

 

When is Thompson back?

[NJHalo]

You want Etem back? He has yet to suit up for the Rangers

[gotbeer]

Wow, what a roll over game.  

[nate]

At least I get to go to bed early.

[UndertheHalo]

this is an ugly one, but i'm not ready to get to worked up yet.  Lots of new personnel, the team just has no chemistry right now.

I think the move is right to put Maroon back on the top line.  I like how Sekac was playing.  But he doesn't seem to fit well on the top line.  I think Getzlaf works better with net crashers.  Sekac is more of a skater and puck handler.  

[gotbeer]

After the first 3 games.  This is how I feel right now.

 

[Oz27]

Glad I missed this one. What the f**k happened?

[gotbeer]

First, Dobin decided to goaltend from the bench.  Because it was like he wasn't there.  And by the time he was pulled, it was 3-0 middle of the first and the Coyotes just played D.

[HaloCory22]

1 goal in 9 periods. I think we were shutout twice all of last season.

[mrwicked]

baby yotes looked legit.

had to assume they would be good eventually with all those high picks, but when mike smith plays like mike smith look out.

khudobin looked like beach ball cloutier.

 

[gotbeer]

Forgot, today is the third jersey reveal day.  Hope they made some changes from the leaked photos.

[gotbeer]

sigh.  WTF ducks.  

[Oz27]

This is horrendous. What the **** is wrong with these losers?

[gotbeer]

At some point you have to get worried.  And that time is getting closer and closer for me.  There just doesn't seem to be any urgency.
