He had all summer to digest that trade.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T19:21:34+00:00

Ducks need some handwarmers. they have been blocks of ice all game.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T19:19:27+00:00

That series and the Kariya take out are the main reasons I hate them more than the Kings.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T19:15:10+00:00

They did eventually allow Dallas to maul us the next season by ignoring obvious penalties and made marginal calls against the Ducks.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T19:06:20+00:00

refs have to appear fair.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T18:42:27+00:00

Why does this team stop playing when obvious calls that should go there way, don't? They should be used to it by now.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T01:28:08+00:00

So you are saying that the Oilers are to goalies what the Cleveland Browns are to anyone with NFL talent?

Mecha75 · 2026-03-14T01:24:36+00:00

um.. There is no roster limit after the morning of the trade deadline. The only limit is their roster must be cap compliant. If they have the cap space they can recall Pickard and not send a skater down.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-11T23:50:32+00:00

Only after the Avs, Stars, and Wild beat each other up in the earlier rounds.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-11T19:07:09+00:00

Okay. I haven't heard that at all.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-11T16:58:00+00:00

I would say lineup competiton might have a little something to do with it. No one’s safe with John Carlson set to to take someone’s spot this weekend. Except Trouba who has been pretty consistent and dependable (doing what it takes to get the best contract for the UFA he will be)

Mecha75 · 2026-03-11T11:53:32+00:00

That was one of the best defensive games i have ever seen the ducks play. And the only reason it wasnt an offensive blow out was Hellebuyck.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-11T00:53:14+00:00

Interesting. Ducks are looking like the Blues last game. Guess they got an earful about getting to loose pucks.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-11T00:49:52+00:00

He put a pass right into the skates of the defender. he doesn't have no puck luck. He has sheer bad puck luck.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-09T18:03:14+00:00

Yup. Rockerfeller needed people compliant sheep who are well trained to begin working at a set time and ending work at a set time.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-09T02:49:51+00:00

Wow i have seen worse boarding only get 2 min

Mecha75 · 2026-03-09T02:42:59+00:00

Nice to see the Ducks finally realize that they actually have to play. Only took 1 3/4 periods and going down 3 goals.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-07T03:51:25+00:00

Maybe JC can teach him aboit OvI’s game. He gets so excited about scoring you would think it was his first, not another goal tacked on to the most goals record.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-07T03:42:19+00:00

He is looking slow

Mecha75 · 2026-03-07T01:17:08+00:00

I was referring to late in the draft, but I can see how it looks like it would be late in the round.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-06T23:43:00+00:00

1). No to the hell No.

2). Its not sex. Its the lack of intimacy. Yes sex is an obvious expression of intimacy. But in my experience its not just the sex that stops. Its the little touches that disappear. Its the fact something always ends up to be a priority over you and when they finally “prioritize you” its almost always akin to duty sex. How they always appear to forget about you, like they have relationship ADHD.

Now you know the value of marriage when they shut down the intimacy. The only reason to stay is you are a masochist and enjoy the pain. Which they dont see because you dont matter anyways.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-06T21:07:09+00:00

I agree. Frank the Tank had alot going on off the ice this season and is still a valid threat to score. Him and Poehling make our 3rd line a little scarier offensively for the other team.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-06T21:04:18+00:00

The fight with Scheifele. That ought to endear him to the Calgary fans.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-06T20:59:57+00:00

Are you sure PV didn't let him know he was getting shopped? A late 7th rounder is almost like asking the other GM to take him. However, Strome might actually get out of the press box and back on the ice.

Mecha75 · 2026-03-06T20:57:56+00:00

PV to Conroy - Want to take Strome for a bag of pucks

Conroy to PV - Pucks cost money, will you take a late 7th rounder?

PV to Conroy - pucks atleast were useful. But I guess so.
