GDT | Game #61 | at Ducks | Friday, March 6th 2026 9:00 PM EST

[worm]

Ducks really exposed Monty's weakness last night.. long shots.. that 1st one even though it was called back was brutal.. it set the tone

I was thinking during the shootout that they were gonna let one go from the blue line

Two late tying goals because they couldn't tie up two big bodies in front of the net, Kreider and Anders Lee.

 

[Krustchev]

You would think long shots would be the easiest thing to correct.

It has to be mental. There’s no way he’s always had that problem. He would have never been drafted

He's had it for years. He's trash.

Should get Diekembe to chat with Chuck Knoblaugh

Habsy and I said he needed his eyes checked 2-3 yrs ago, he can make a brilliant save and then a let one in from the red line

He did both multiple times last night.

They're still fun to watch.

Now, I keep thinking what might have been "if only". I wasn't expecting them to be this good, or the goaltending to be this bad. With good goaltending, there's no telling how far we could have taken this.

Next year is the year . . . Even with better goaltending this team is still a year away. HuGo know that too.

Bingo , plus expiring contracts the roster construction is still underway

Organically at least 2-3 years away:

- Fowler needs to experience the trials & tribulations of NHL G

- Hage needs to become an NHL regular and learn the 200ft game

- Redenbacher needs to cement himself as an NHL top-4 w Slavin-esque capabilities

- Beck needs to seize & become that PK specialist/ modern shutdown C

- top-6 missing a big bodied W (likely acquired externally)

There’s a lot left to be done

bingo bango bingo

turning two 1st rounders (who might be solid contributors by 2028) into Dobson was an accelerant...maybe yesterday's failed trade was a similar attempt. In any event, I suspect Hughes will take a similar swing over the summer.

I also think the possibility for something surprising is huge. The team has a lot of talent other teams covet. Roster spots are becoming scarce and zero percent of our top talent is even close to approaching retirement

So we'll see...

I hope Fowler works out because I don't want to be stuck in that Oilers infinite loop of bad golatenders

Alex Tuch

 

[Sal_Butera]

Alex Tuch

I’d be all over it IF he hits the open market but he’s going to be asking $11M+

 

[Habsy]

I’d be all over it IF he hits the open market but he’s going to be asking $11M+

I would give him $9.5m. You sure he’s getting that much?

 

[Sal_Butera]

I would give him $9.5m. You sure he’s getting that much?

He’s apparently not budging from that number w Buf. He wants to bank $$$$

This is his 401K contract

 

[GEEMAN]

fuck em

 

[GEEMAN]

This FA period is brutal with limited talent , some fool will pay him

Bingo but after next year with expiring contracts , if Dach can stay healthy and be a 40-50 point player ....huge bonus

 

[Habsy]

We do not have a power forward in the system that can play the top line aside from Slaf and that’s only since games that he feels like playing that way. Tuch or Wilson would be very good adds.

Ducks are 1 top 4 and a few depth forwards away from true contender

Nobody has Senneke , Gauthier , Carlsson , Mac and LaCombe as 5 young horses
