    Let’s turn things around today….shut down zegras…let’s get some expressive mark stone tonight….

  2. NoahtheRed

    Hope everyone had a good holiday break. We went to Mammoth for a long weekend and got some skiing/snowboarding in. Now it’s time to go duck hunting, though!

  3. FridayCicero702

    Happy 33rd Birthday to Smarch Madness.

    🎉

  4. NoahtheRed

    Piss. That’s not a good start. Fix it, boys.

  5. That was such an unfortunate redirect. Get this back boys!

  6. Knights_Up

    Side note…I’m wildly entertained that Fowler is on the Ducks. Call me immature but I giggle a bit each time.

  7. RoombaArmy

    Good evening and go knights go!! I’m sick so the knights should win for me thanks.

    Really unlucky bounces on the goal. Was briefly mad but decided it’s okay.

  8. FloralDemon

    Is something wrong with the sound on Scripps?

  9. Steve_Hunts96

    Well… this defense and goaltending just ain’t it anymore.

    wow.

  10. NoahtheRed

    So…..what did the boys do while they were off for the holidays? Crack?

  11. subie_95678

    It feels like our offense is flat. Over the last month of two it seems there’s no spark to it. We’re just doing the motions.

  12. RoombaArmy

    My bf got me a Mark Stone gold jersey for Christmas, I put it on. Let’s see if it’s lucky.

  13. I would like to ask where our defense is at because they are not playing VGK defense. Only Shea is out so there’s no excuse for this.

  14. TheGiantRascal

    Everyone has off nights. I’m sure they’ll pick it up in the 2nd period once Bruce gives them a talking to.

  15. RumAndCoco

    No Net November sucked, I guess this is the true midseason slump? I’m not mad cause I know we’ll come back come February, there’s some talent in the Ducks but holy crap this sucks

  16. FloralDemon

    Welp, this is not the start I was expecting.

  17. cookbacondrunknaked

    Mother fucker….this is not going well at all.

  18. Markel100

    Wheres the defense we make them shoot outside we are letting them get to the middle

  19. RoombaArmy

    This is the worst game I’ve seen us play. Oof.

  20. subie_95678

    We’re barely halfway through the first period and already down by 4

    I’m sorry Thompson maybe it’s time to see what Jiri can do. Maybe you come back too early

  21. MidwestF1fanatic

    Stop. Turning. The. Puck. Over. In. The. Neutral. Zone!

  22. FridayCicero702

    Bruce Cassidy’s urge to kill is rising.

  23. RumAndCoco

    Y’know, we may drop from 1st to 4th, but at least we’re not celebrating our 30th anniversary at 30th in the league.

  24. cookbacondrunknaked

    We have to score to stop the bleeding.

  25. RoombaArmy

    Honestly beside the bad goaltending (which, whatever, goalies are streaky) I’m baffled by the way we look on the ice. We don’t have the structure we had to start the season, especially when defending.

    It’s hard to watch. They look like they don’t know what they’re doing.

  26. 2min4roughing

    I just got to lifetime, get on the bike, throw the game on and it’s 0-4 what the fuck happened

  27. UltSomnia

    I was reading Dracula today and saw the word “digital”. I did a double take, but I realized that it just meant “using his digits” (ie using his fingers).

  28. Make4LokoGreatAgain

    Guess I’m getting drunk for the rest of this one 🫠

  29. mortalcloak

    That was the worst period of VGK hockey I’ve ever watched in this teams history.

  30. TheGiantRascal

    The end of that period was finally looking good. I’m gonna stay positive that the next 2 will be better

  31. cookbacondrunknaked

    So…next period we remember we are actually really good at hockey and tie the game up, right?
