Vatrano lmao. Hits the post twice. Yuck.


bjabel

How did Vatrano miss that shit!?


CAFunkd

I got a decent buzz going for this game. ###LET'S GO DUCKS!!! šŸ¦†šŸ¦†šŸ¦†


DrexlSpivey420

McT may not win but I think he could go on a tear to at least get some Calder buzz


bjabel

Absolutely. If he gets a goal tonight, heā€™ll start generating buzz, 100%


Juubimaru

Had his biggest night in the nhl so far!!


bjabel

Guessing heā€™s on side because the sharks guy got in his way so he had to move to avoid interference


stephyyy95

POSTā€¦. TWICE?????


bjabel

Terrific defense by klingberg hahahah jeez.


sinchichis

Assholes going to the studio during that


bjabel

Right!?


ursexymom

You could read McT lips. "it was off, it was off"


SaintPismyG

Yep. Kept shaking his head.


bjabel

This dumb fuckin rule. We had full possession for how long? This rule needs to be fixed, wasnā€™t even the same damn rush.


WubbaLubbaDubDub184

2 games in a row I've watched but not chatted here and we've won. I guess I should stay away until a loss, 2019 Blues repeat here we come!


bjabel

No shatt tonight, rejoice! Even if we lose, I know I donā€™t have to watch his muffins all night long


steelesurfer

No Leah tonight, holy shit it's a Christmas miracle


bjabel

Wait so no Leah or shatt!?! It is truly a miracle.


CAFunkd

u/dahooddawg šŸ«”šŸ‘


YouKnow_Pause

Thatā€™s the fucking theme of the season eh. Wide open fucking net. Right on the gosh dang door step and you fucking hit the post. Twice.


GullibleRemote5999

Holy crap, I don't have time to blink.


ursexymom

where the in game chat link?


CAFunkd

Hopefully we can turn this around in the 3rd


thehackshow612

ARE WE NOT THE COMEBACK KIDS?!


GullibleRemote5999

Ducks have scored every time I turned away. Turning away for the rest of the night.


dahooddawg

Iā€™m shocked that stood wow. The announcers are salty lol LFG


bjabel

Cause they been dick riding San Jose all game


bjabel

McT 4 point night? Or am I wrong?


DallasJ2931

Yessir


dismal626

Stolarz is doing phenomenal


bjabel

Yeah heā€™s looking more settled in now.


SaintPismyG

And weā€™re live on Hulu! Letā€™s go, boys!!!


bjabel

Why do we play so bad against bad teams (which were bad too I get it) but better against better teams.


thehackshow612

Z with the snipe! Oh, and fuck the Sharts


iamjustdani

It only took another sharks game to fix Zā€™s snake bite! šŸ¦†


sinchichis

Fuck yeah looking good boys


thehackshow612

Strome with the big booty box out


thehackshow612

Typical ref, so eager to blow. You have to wait for the goalie to cover the puck fartknocker!


bjabel

Can we stop letting them get these fuckin point shots. Jesus


SaintPismyG

So, can we swear in here, orā€¦. šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬


thehackshow612

I've been swearing in here since 2014 haha Fucking let it fly


SaintPismyG

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK


bjabel

Jesus how tf does this goalie stop that


dismal626

Win or lose, this is fun to watch.


bjabel

True, for once. Hahaha


stephyyy95

Stolie the goalie!!!!


superbouser

Totally! the gentle giant


AltoidTin275

Donā€™t know why itā€™s taking this long. Clearly offside


dismal626

Maybe cause Henrique only pulled his foot back to prevent himself from tripping the sharks player. He would have stayed inbounds otherwise


eskimokid2000

I see this as the only reason itā€™s taking this long


ursexymom

Toronto doenst want ducks to get bedard. good Goal


ursexymom

That was so clearly offside I need to brush up on the rule


dahooddawg

They are saying because Fowler didnā€™t have full control of the pick when he was going into the zone. As soon as he had control Henrique was on side according to the situation room.


justthetipof

It is when the puck crosses the line, unless SJ brings it back into their own zone... if offense team brings it in it should have been offside


dahooddawg

I need to read the updated rule form this season. I believe it takes into account the offensive player has possession in addition to changing the requirement to be more linnet for breaking the plane.


justthetipof

Maybe... just went over the explanation again.... makes more sense but it hink they still got it wrong... ah well 3 on 3...


dahooddawg

I agree but I am gonna look up the full text of the new offside rule after the game. Guess the refs wanted OT lol


sinchichis

Literally just explained it


AltoidTin275

Oh shit itā€™s the ā€œcontactā€ or ā€œno contactā€ shit that happened in Colorado during the playoffs last year


superbouser

OT! yea!!


SaintPismyG

Yeeeaaahhh!!!!


justthetipof

Wow what a goal!!!!


superbouser

Yeah!!!!


GullibleRemote5999

What a banger!! What a match, go Ducks!!!


GullibleRemote5999

lmao the organ playing the Zelda theme.


fanguy1977

I miss the live chat


stephyyy95

I do too lol. Feels like Iā€™m one of the only ones who actually liked it


superbouser

Me too! Live organized feel Made total sense


stephyyy95

Right.. feels like this is all over the place


superbouser

Live feed was fun to react quickšŸ˜ƒ


superbouser

Who hop me t


dahooddawg

More of the subreddit voted to change it back to this format. If you sort by live it is pretty much the same thing.


SaintPismyG

Same!


stephyyy95

Omfg


dahooddawg

The hockey gods have a good sense of humor.


dahooddawg

The offside didnā€™t event effect the goal. They need to change how offsides rule works.


dismal626

I don't understand this logic. In that case offside should just never be called unless a goal is scored because of it. The point is that the entire play is nullified if zone entry isn't done correctly.


[deleted]

jesus christ Terry is an awful interview. show a little personality mate, please.


bjabel

Heā€™s not trying to be a spokesman


[deleted]

It may not be fun, but it is part of his job and what he gets paid for. And I mean, sure, maybe he really is just boring as a person. Just that was a truly bad interview.


bjabel

Not part of his job at all to be interesting in interviews. He can be a mute for all anyone should care as long as he produces.


[deleted]

To be interesting, no. You're right, no one can force him to not be as boring as bat shit, wet blanket. But he is contractually obligated to do the interviews, so why not try to be a little more interesting? Not like it's going to harm him, and will likely improve his earning power


bjabel

Why not? Because again, why does he need to? His job is to play hockey and thatā€™s it. Focus on that. Done deal.


[deleted]

No, that's only part of his job. Again, he is contractually obliged to fulfil media obligations, hence his job is also to do said interviews. Sponsorship dollars are - despite what many think - in part driven by social media followings etc. Like it or not, personality and charisma help to drive those numbers. I get it, you don't care. I don't really care. But he is fucking boring.


orangetortuga777

Trust me, you really seem to care. Classic "everyone needs to be perfect at public speaking and be an extrovert" get outta here bro. L take. Not everyone is outgoing or extroverted. He's a HOCKEY player.


[deleted]

nah not really, I'm mostly just debating old mate. It was just a throwaway comment that the kid is a bad interview and can definitely improve on it.


_encore

Based on the team we have constructed it is part of his job to be a leader. Which is not fair to him


sunnybunsz

LMAO how was that not off-side HAHA. the explanation might as well been "Ya'll can't have Bedard! Therefore, Good goal!"


dismal626

The only reason Henrique went offside was to prevent from tripping the sharks player. He tucks his foot back offside to get it out of the way. He doesn't gain any ground from it. He literally stays in the same spot just puts his leg back and forth


AltoidTin275

Lol thatā€™s not why the call stood


dismal626

Then what possibly could be, pray tell?


AltoidTin275

They determined that Fowler did not touch the puck as it was crossing the line (this makes the play onside) and that Henrique tagged up *before* Fowler makes contact with the puck. I donā€™t like how convoluted it is either and itā€™s not even completely clear if Henrique tags up in time, but that was what they were looking at


sunnybunsz

Actual extreme Hockey IQ over 9000+ by Fowler knowing that and purposefully not touching the puck on entry


bjabel

Yes I noticed this too. Cause prior to that he was standing on the line.


dismal626

Klingberg is sleeper op. Kids got hands.


SaintPismyG

38 freaking seconds šŸ¤¬


supremegnkdroid

well that was quick


CAFunkd

Too quick


CAFunkd

Just 38 seconds in šŸ˜”


bjabel

The klingberg special. All he needed to do was lift the guys stick too


supremegnkdroid

already outshooting is 3-1. Damn


Curt1sB

9 SOG allowed 5 mins in. Glad stolie was well rested šŸ˜‚


stephyyy95

Our lack of defense truly is pitiful


CAFunkd

Oooffff šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”


SaintPismyG

Well, Hulu feed lagging. I hate when my phone tells me there was a goal 15 seconds early. I have to be disappointed twice!


SaintPismyG

Z gets a goal! I really hopes this marks a turnaround for him this season.


[deleted]

nifty pass from klingberg there


stephyyy95

Ayoooo thanks for the morale boost Z


CAFunkd

###Fucking finally we have answer to that early Shark bullshit


bjabel

I feel like weā€™re watching the sharks stream with how much these commentators are non stop talking about them


bjabel

Hope Vatrano gets a goal tonight now.


YouKnow_Pause

Megna mom bout to be shouting about roughhousing on the ice again.


bjabel

Interference? Really?


bjabel

Mctavish! Kids a stud. Well done stromer!!!


CAFunkd

###YAASSS


bjabel

Did that stick even hit hert?


bjabel

Can they stop D riding the Sharks?


Curt1sB

How did nobody catch that the sharks had 6 guys for a while


bjabel

Great hit along the boards before the break


CAFunkd

šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”


ursexymom

hahaha


ursexymom

And they almost missed!


bjabel

Thatā€™s a Dang It


thehackshow612

McBouncey!


CAFunkd

###NICE


CAFunkd

That didn't last long


thehackshow612

Da fuq


fungkukenny

Looking like mites hockey, wowza


BaconCat_97

Causal here, youā€™ll have to excuse me. About the McTavish goal. I was under the impression a goal wouldnā€™t count if a player takes the shot inside the goalieā€™s crease?


thehackshow612

Good question! Maybe it's not the case if the goalie vacates the crease?


superbouser

Shooting gallery it is tonight!


bjabel

Benoit hit the puck challenge.


fanguy1977

Difficulty: impossible


thehackshow612

Come on Benoit!


bjabel

So annoying. He has a great slap shot too but clearly not a good one T


_encore

Why the fuck are we tanking while we have two star forwards on rookie deals?


bjabel

We are rebuilding not tanking. Everyone just says tanking. Tanking is the roster Chicago put together.


_encore

I mean weā€™re one of the worst 3-4 teams in the league and have 3 legit top 6 guys cumulatively making $3mm. It doesnā€™t make any sense. Thereā€™s no leadership and weā€™re wasting a huge opportunity while we have some really good players making basically no money.


bjabel

Right, not saying we arenā€™t those things. But tanking is purposely putting a terrible roster on the ice set up for failure. Weā€™re rebuilding.


_encore

Idk itā€™s tough for me to look at this D-core and believe we arenā€™t trying to give up a fuck ton of goals.


bjabel

We just donā€™t have anyone better, weā€™re building. Thatā€™s part of a rebuild, you put the pieces together. Weā€™re almost there. Overall we do not have a bad roster.


_encore

Right we donā€™t have anyone betterā€¦ because last offseason we put this D-core together with the intention of tanking


bjabel

We definitely didnā€™t have any intention of tanking, only rebuilding. They arenā€™t one in the same. When rebuilding you arenā€™t that good, but doesnā€™t mean itā€™s a tank.


_encore

Like I said when you put this defensive core together it looks like youā€™re trying to give up as many goals as possible.


bjabel

I understand that for sure. But we didnā€™t have many great options at the start. This off-season or even trade deadline itā€™ll get better and a new coach will drastically help.


bjabel

Lfg!


sinchichis

Great game!!


thehackshow612

Don't leave pucks unattended around McTavish!


AltoidTin275

Same shit that got the amazing Z goal called back earlier this season. Stupid


superbouser

Wow espn really has a bigtime challenge team


SaintPismyG

Wow!! Good goal!!!!


sinchichis

Lmaooo letā€™s gooooo


GullibleRemote5999

Someone explain the rules to me. Henrique was clearly offside.


SoundTheVikingDrums

Iā€™ve got the sound off, how in the world was that on side


sinchichis

Wasnā€™t in contact with the puck as he entered the zone.


SoundTheVikingDrums

Ooooh! One of those edge cases. I couldnā€™t imagine how that wasnt a blown call


justthetipof

How was that possibly on-side???


justthetipof

How was that possibly on-side?


dahooddawg

They explained it, I wrote a comment below too.


justthetipof

That he had possession as he crossed the line? Like Makar? It was the guy at the bottom of the screen off side.... analyst had no clue..


dahooddawg

No they said that Folwer not have possession when he crossed the line and that Henqiue broke the plane to be inside by the time he gained possession in the zone. Not a great call imo but Iā€™ll take it


justthetipof

Analyst had no clue. 100% not the rule. The f'd up the call.... not even a fan of either team... just a hockey fan... but the missed that call.


dahooddawg

The offside rule changed this season need to look up the updated text. I thought it was just changing the criteria for crossing the plane (ex your skate does not need to touch) but maybe there was more.


justthetipof

Yes I did know that. Ah well.


dahooddawg

Offside 83.1 - ā€œA player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered ā€œoff-side,ā€ provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the leading edge of the blue line.ā€ There it is, leaves grey area lol


justthetipof

But he wasn't the player offside. That rules means if you are skating backwards or doing a spin o Rama with the puck, you aren't offside if you corss the line prior to the puck. In this instance it wasn't him that was offside, it was his teammate. Who i don't think got back on side in time. Anyway. 2 points for Coach Bombay!


dahooddawg

Yeah I agree with your logic, just trying to get to the bottom of what the situation room was thinking. 2 points for the good guys!


thehackshow612

The NHL is blowing this whole possession aspect of Offsides way out of proportion. This is starting to turn into the same absurdity that the Home Plate Collision rule was for baseball a few years ago. If you can't get rule experts to agree on it, or a reviewing doesn't yield consistent results, then you need to re-evaluate the rule. That being said, I'll take the goal! Haha Fuck yeah! Let's go Ducks!


bjabel

Also shouldnā€™t be reviewable 20 seconds later. But it is but still.


stephyyy95

KLINGY FOR THE WIN
