ducks4cup 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Yeah, Getzlaughed at must of been sick with the flu last year when Ducks choked, too... huh He's just a product of their system, another classless cheap shot artist. When he or his team take cowardly cheap shots, that's the only way they can win. Pretty pathetic really. Bad for NHL. You are not worth my time man. If you can't see that the ducks are a good team and think they only win with cheap shots you are obviously 100% biased towards your team. You want a none physical game go play in europe, this is the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ducks4cup 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Haha, good call on that Bobby Ryan kid. Goes from Calder candidate to invisible. Bobby Ryan was DOMINATING in the SJ series. He has definitely been invisible in games 1-5 of this series but had a VERY strong night last night and I think that will carry into game 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidish 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Perry is not invisible w/o Getz (game 5 is an example of nothing since we played a bad game all around). Bobby Ryan leading rookie scorer this year (sure you have heard of him). Like I said he hasn't done squat in this series but he had a VERY good game 6 and I am willing to bet that carries into game 7. Funny that you think our team is a joke yet the series is tied and we knocked out SJ. Nothing in the regular season matters in the playoffs. Nothing in the previous series matters in the current series. It all starts over with each new series. Bobby Ryan could have been Jesus walking on water out there at any point, but against Detroit, he's been invisible, and at the worst possible time--you need your star guys to step up in big games. Perry is fairly invisible without Getzlaf. Be realistic. I don't have the hate against Anaheim like most the league does, because I like some of their players and dig their coach, but just be realistic: Perry has numbers when Getzlaf has numbers. Otherwise, he's a fairly average player, that's it. He's good enough to hang with Getzlaf, which is a compliment, but I mean...so was Kunitz, and his "skill" is pretty questionable since he continues to get lucky in his career and play on lines with guys way over his head.

Funny that you think our team is a joke yet the series is tied and we knocked out SJ. ***We have a much different system than the wings, which apparently none of you seem to understand since there is so much talk on these boards about our low scoring wins, etc... We are not a high scoring team. We are a defense first team. We win games by shutting other teams down (ie: game 6), not by scoring as the wings do. Ryan should have had about 3 goals last night but couldn't pull the trigger, fired wide or just couldn't settle the puck. Getzlaf has set him up so often in this series the Ducks should have swept by now. He's a perfect example of a rookie that's hit a wall. Yes, this series is tied. You got a fluke goal in game 2, you got a gift early whistle in game 3 and outside of that we have 3 wins in 4 games. You also did get past San Jose. A team that showed less heart than the Tinman. I don't mind giving the Ducks credit. They are getting the absolute most out of their team and arguably the best collection of top 4 dmen in the league. They do it by playing rope-a-dope hockey and taking advantage of turnovers. But in all honesty, without Getzlaf this team is absolutely NOTHING. If any NHL or Anaheim fan really believes that this team would even be sniffing the playoffs without Getzlaf they're high. And they're getting a lot out of him in the postseason too. The truth is though, if the Wings played in game 6, like they did in games 4 and 5, it's a white-wash last night. For whatever reason, we just weren't battling and working like we did previous. But the fact still remains that if we can bottle Getzlaf up for game 7 this series is over and the Ducks are golfing on Friday. And then maybe Ryan can use the long summer to find his game that went deathly cold 10 days ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stormboy 47 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 The Ducks only scored 2 goals in Game 6. The biggest problem for the Wings is to get some scoring. Our defense and goaltending has looked solid, despite Getzlaf picking up some points (mainly on the PP). who during the regular season would have expected *this* to be our problem? not that i miss getting scored on five times a night, but i do miss scoring six goals. also, this is a bit off topic, but just for the record i wanted to point out how near the end of the regular season a majority (or at the very least an extremely vocal minority) were saying that the wings would be incapable of playing a tight game in the playoffs. if they're giving up four goals a game now, they said, there's absolutely no way they're going to get back to letting in 1-2 goals a game in the playoffs. well, look where we are. we've lost two games 2-1. how the hell did that happen?

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 I know its sacrilege to say on this board, but it would help if Nciklas Lidstrom played like his old self. The reason the 2nd goal was scored last night was becuase Perry easily got behind Lidstrom and had all day to park himself in front of the net and get the tip. Stepping out of denial, Lidstrom is showing his age more than he ever has in this series. He's still solid out there, but his skating is costing him. And Lilja - our best shutdown Dman in the season - is gone. We're lucky Stuart has stepped up his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 On a side note, I agree with what everyone else has been saying about Getzlaf. You simply can't take anything away from the guy - hes phenomenal. Hes worth more to the Ducks right now than either of Crosby or Ovechkin are worth to their team. Getzlaf IS the Ducks offense. And he does what he wants.

And Lilja - our best shutdown Dman in the season - is gone. We're lucky Stuart has stepped up his game. I've noticed this too. And because his skating isn't what it once was, his 5-on-5 offensiveness has gone down as well. But it doesn't matter. This team is still the most solid defensive team because they all work as a 5-man unit. We have the offense, we just need to bury more goals. Last night we played like crap but we still generated chances off of Hiller's huge rebounds. If the ice didn't resemble Michigan Ave. some of those rebounds would have stayed flat and we would have buried a couple more. That's what has me thinking so positive. That was the Ducks absolute best effort and it was our worst, and yet we lost by 1 goal. Imagine if we play game 7 like we did in games 4 and 5? IT'S OVER BABY. We are the hardest working team and the most talented. That combination is deadly to contend against. When we work hard, we have won every loose puck battle and beat their dmen with ease. And the AHL lowlites like Miller, Brown, Nikoleinen, Ebbet, etc. have their heads spinning in place trying to keep up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was real strong last night and I think will be real strong in game 7. He was crap last night. Just like Perry he feeds off of the Getzlaf-teet. Without #15, he's been useless. How many open nets did he miss, or blown chances did he muff up? I can only fathom how many goals a guy like Hudler, Cleary or even Franzen would have if they were lined up with Getzlaf. Maybe 50 each? Make no mistake, I like Ryan. I was excited to see him break out this year and I think he's going to be a dandy down the road. But in this series, he's been Casper and shown his inexperience. He's only looked average on occasion because of Getzlaf. And we could lose Zetterberg and we still make the playoffs. Hossa? Yup, still making the playoffs. What about Datsyuk? You bet, still making the playoffs. Getzlaf is a beast. Nearly impossible to defend. He's so good, he has his team tied with the Wings after 6 games. You take Getzlaf and Zetterberg out of this series and it's a sweep for Detroit. EASY.

ducks4cup 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) So, cheap shots is part of NHL? Since when? Since the few years Mighty Ducks even existed in National Hockey League? Your team is classless bunch of goons and a disgrace to all professional sports. You've lost all credibility. Below is an image of: "cheap shots is part of NHL" Datsyuk takes a cheap shot butt-ended stick to the face from a gutless coward named Neidermayer Stay classy, Ducks You mean cheap shots like the elbow that Kronwall threw to break Carter's nose or the one Homer threw to an injured player, or the sucker punch Hossa threw to start the scrum last night.

The defense has been better in the playoffs, for sure, but take a look at the Anaheim roster and who's scoring. The only real threat they have is coming from their top line, and the Wings are completely incapable of slowing that line down. The Ducks game plan from Game 1 has been to pray that Getzlaf and Perry get them a couple goals and then hang on for dear life. No one else on that roster is a good scorer (except Selanne, who's playing with scrubs) so there's no one else to defend. Their first and only priority has run roughshod over them so far. With all that said, if they can just get a win tomorrow, I think they'll be in much better shape. The Hawks are good, but they don't have anyone as dominant as Getzlaf on their roster (himself a natural Wings-killer) to give them fits.

Wombat 26 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 Getzlaf has been great. When he hasn't been 100%, the Wings have dominated. When he's been on his game, the Ducks win more than the Wings. I don't think it's coincidence by any stretch. The Wings must try to do everything they can to shut him down in Game 7. If they come out with 100% effort, I think they can.
