Lfgggg! I have a feeling someone mixes it up with Crosby. Crosby team is desperate right now and he might try and start some shit

 

[slippingsloth]

Lets go ducks. 7 in a row pls

 

[Hockey Duckie]

I want to see us win starting from the first period as opposed to coming back to win. It's pretty unsustainable to win that way all season.

Killorn-Rico-Silf is a vet savvy line! They're all on the same page... and at the same pace!

 

[Ducksforcup]

It's a little surreal seeing the Ducks have better stats in almost every category in relation to Pittsburgh.

Penguins are gonna come out hard after that embarrassing loss they suffered against Anaheim. Have to be ready.

 

[Kalv]

Pens, you'll gonna get it. Tell Sid, he's gonna get it too

 

[Arthuros]

Think it's 7PM PT?

 

[Mr Rogers]

Carlsson’s gotta be sitting this one out right?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Carlsson’s gotta be sitting this one out right?

idk we’ve had time off between games I def could see him in…. I also think it starts to create chemistry issues taking him out so often

 

[Quack Shot]

I took one for the team and dropped Zegras from my fantasy team and added Byfield. Expect Zegras to have a 4 point night and for Byfield to start sucking.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Keep having The Offspring at Duck games and they'll keep winning.

I added Byfield too! I have Terry, though... I might try to trade him so he'll start going off

Perry quote! Man I miss him!

Our Special teams have made significant turnarounds! The PP unit took it's sweet time getting there, though. Both units are helping the team win and be on a six-game win streak.

Ducks 2023-24	PK Unit	Splits
Game Set	Games	PK GA	TSH	PK EFF		TSH/Game
1 to 3	3​	6​	17​	64.7%​		5.7​
4 to 11	8​	6​	39​	84.6%​		4.9​

The Ducks are a little bit more disciplined in the recent five games, helping the TSH/Game rate come down.

Ducks 2023-24	PP Unit	Splits
Game Set	Games	PPG	PPO	PP Eff		PPO/Game
1 to 7	7​	1​	24​	4.2%​		3.4​
8 to 11	4​	6​	11​	54.5%​		2.8​

With our PP, I don't know if we're good or extremely lucky. Sample size for the turnaround is small, but I'll give credit to Brown for the recent success.

• PP Goal scorers
  • Vatrano = 3
  • Terry = 2
  • Rico = 1
  • Zegras = 1

Unless someone gets hurt, gotta think one of those guys on the 5th forward line is going on waivers imminently

So Leo playing again.

With the way that Derek listed it, think LaCombe is being put on the left to test out "natural" side, and have Cam play off?

If so, hope it helps. LaCombe has been a bit of a mess lately.

 

[KelVarnsen]

I think he has been ok. Not as good as earlier but not terrible.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Interesting that Jones appears to be sitting two games in a row after Wednesday. Coaches must’ve thought he wasn’t too good and I don’t disagree.

Hate to say it because I like the guy and he seems to genuinely love being here but there isn't really a place for him on this healthy Ducks squad. Trending towards being an offseason non-tender

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Weird, thought we’d see Dosty in this one. No complaints though

 

[ducks8]

If Gibson has another performance like he did against Vegas, gotta think he starts pulling away from Dostal
