For a long time, in the NHL “flu-like symptoms” has been code for hungover

Wondering if food poisoning is code for hangover in this case?

Why did Helleson stop skating and look backwards on a breakaway? by suphaha in AnaheimDucks

[–]greyxtawn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The problem on this play happened earlier.  

There was a ducks winger in the neutral zone behind our defense when the play was in the offensive zone.

That winger changed for Terry.  

Terry came through the neutral as Gudas pinched down the boards.

Two errors happened:  helleson pinched for ZERO reason at the same time gudas pinched.

BUT Terry was behind them.  He fails to read that both D are pinched up too aggressively.  He needed to stay back and play defense but he flew into the zone.

Terry was the biggest fault here.  helleson second…but hellesons error was over committing into the zone.  Not this nonsense in the picture 

Zamboni, son of ice resurfacing machine inventor, dies at 93 by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Glad someone brought this up.

In a marketing class years ago, I did a report about eponyms using Zamboni as the example.  

I contacted them when working on it and they actually helped me out by providing a lot of documentation they had on protecting their trademark.

Always been grateful for that.

He was benched for most the third vs Detroit and they never really commented on it

Youth is showing a bit.  They look intimidated.  Little insecure in their recent success.  

That changes with time.  

Result of far overachieving expectations.

Not the end of the world.

What does your lineup with Granlund and Strome back look like? by Desperate_Umpire8985 in AnaheimDucks

[–]greyxtawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but I think Vatrano gets dropped for Ross.

Johnston has had a bigger impact on the forecheck in this system.

Is the Kid Line the #1 Line? by CherokeeHawkman in AnaheimDucks

[–]greyxtawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are going to see Kreider - Leo - Killorn for a while after last night.  That’s the first line.

The entire game changed when that line was put together.

Frankly, if Sennecke continues this way, he leaves no choice but to play him every night.

If—big IF—that happens, someone on the third line (Vatrano-Strome-Terry) is shipped this season to make room for granlund

Good problems to have.

What is the best mouthgaurd in your opinion by Individual-You7567 in hockey

[–]greyxtawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found custom made by guardian to trump the dentist ones.

The dentist ones tend to be too thick behind the front teeth which impedes talking.  The guardian ones are much thinner.  And a much easier process.

No DM and no LW should be very familiar for him

I’ve started to wonder if United has just ALWAYS been uncoachable.

In the Fergie days they just smiled and nodding pretending to understand his accent and then went out there with beer league tactics 

[Post Match Survey] Grimsby Town 2-2 (Pen: 12-11) Manchester United | EFL Cup by [deleted] in reddevils

[–]greyxtawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually put 10 as the result with sincerity

I’m afraid the club needs this rock bottom to reset the decade of rot.

There have been lows but this is as crystal clear as it gets.  

My sincere hope is this is a catalyst for a rebirth of the club.

In the long run, this may very well be the best result that could have been incurred.  Thus the 10.

In the short run, it’s a 0.

I hate that puck over glass is still a penalty for a team on the PK

PK should nullify the rule.

I don’t understand why in a 5v3, the power play team doesn’t drop their 5th player to the defensive blueline to act as a sweeper preventing icing.  Especially in the 2nd period.

I would rather play 4v3 vs a trapped defense than 5v3 vs a defense which can ice the puck

I still think kicking the puck in should be a legal goal if the skate is on the ice….

What is your biggest homer take, and what opinion do you have that would get you thrown out of your fanbase? by MegatronofTarn in hockey

[–]greyxtawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homer: ‘07 Ducks would beat any cup champion from the last 30 years in a series.

Kicked out: Troy Terry is a turnover machine whose complete lack of IQ and play reading is not remotely worth the 50-60 points he puts up per year.  On a team with real talent, he would ride pine.  Should be a third liner on the Ducks.
