Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

None for Ryan yet :(

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

Silfverberg has points in all 3 games :P

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

Dammit, that trade is going to look terrible if we only get two years out of Ryan and don't win it all with him in the lineup.

Josh, its been 2 games..relax. Give it time at least before jumping to conclusion. ;)

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

Yeah, and if the Turris line keeps up at their current pace, that's gonna draw some attention away from the Spezza line and open things up for them a bit. I think Turris can do it. He's been our best player at both ends of the rink so far this year. After a year as top line center playing against teams' top defenses, now facing secondary options for most of the season, I can see 60 points for Turris and upwards of 50 for MacArthur. And they can both (Turris and Spez) play 20 minutes a game, so it won't be easy for other teams to always have top 4 D out against both. So if teams ever try to focus too much on Turris, Spezza-Ryan could break free. Personally, I'd like to see the top six spread out a bit and Turris to get a chance with better wingers, what about:

Conacher-Spezza-Ryan
MacArthur-Turris-Michelek

Or better yet, pull the trigger on Vanek or Hemsky to better fill out the top six. Other options might be Malone, Fleischman or Vrbata. I think a rental would be best for this year, since we've got a lot of young players who will be pushing for the top six spot within that time frame: Pageua, Stone, Prince, Conacher, Zibanejad.

Vrbata is an interesting option I hadn't thought of yet.

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

Just looking up the scoreboard ~ early in 2nd period, Anaheim is leading the Rangers 4-0 ...and Silfverberg has 2 goals

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

Ugh

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

This is getting frustrating. But it's a good thing he's the only piece we gave up... oh.

[Matt the Aussie]

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

lol, yep

Is he playing with Getzlaf and Perry though? I haven't gotten around to seeing the Ducks yet.

[Victor]

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

He had an assist from Selanne I think.

[Josh]

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

He's playing with Selanne and Perreault.

Re: General Anaheim Ducks chat

OK, so 2nd/3rd line minutes, like he would have been getting here...
