They didn’t practice yesterday so expect a morning skate update. Would be roughly 9-10am Nashville time , so about 7-8am PT.

Might have a Getzy appearance tonight

First time in a while I've felt decent about facing Nashville.

I know they struggle in Nashville but it's a different team. I think if they played like they did last game , or against Pittsburgh, have a good chance.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I want a complete rout of Nashville, no mercy lol.

Good catch, I was reading tomorrow's game info.

 

[Mr Rogers]

No doubt in my mind this will be a grind despite Nashville's record. they always, always show up for games against us. it's annoying, like they get up more for games against the Ducks.

Our PP is ranked 11th?! Weren't we like 30th or something like that a couple of weeks ago? Did Newell Brown started sleeping in a Holiday Inn?

Makes me wonder why was he so incompetent last season and to start this season. I'm still skeptical the recent production because it could be that A-students and a "Hot Franks" are carrying a bad PP coach. Gonna need a much longer burn to rinse out last season's ineptness.

Ducks	PP Splits
Game Set	Games	PPG	PPO	PP Eff		PPO/Game
1 to 7	7​	1​	24​	4.2%​		3.4​
8 to 14	7​	10​	25​	40.0%​		3.6​

The highest PP Eff % today is 38.46 PP Eff by the Devils. Talk about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde extremes for the Ducks' PP, my mind is kinda broken seeing it.

Ducks	PK Splits
Game Set	Games	PK GA	TSH	PK EFF		TSH/Game
1 to 3	3​	6​	17​	64.7%​		5.7​
4 to 14	11​	6​	46​	87.0%​		4.2​

Our PK unit amended its dastardly ways early in the season and has looked downright dominant. We are also cutting down on penalties taken. In the past five games, the Ducks have gone 15/15 on "the kill".

I'd start Gibson. He's been playing better and should get the fresher team in front of him.

The other question is, which game would you sit Carlsson, this game or tomorrow?

With Zegras not available, the org are probably forced to play Carlsson on the b2b. It would be interesting to see the lineup without Carlsson and Z, though.

Without Z and Carlsson:

Killorn-Rico-Terry​

Vatrano-Mac-Strome​

Jones-Groulx-Silf​

Johnston-Carrick-Leason​

Do you know if replays are available afterward on ESPN+? I can rarely watch the game live, so I always catch replays later. I know they're available on Bally's, but I'm not sure if ESPN+ makes them available.

Yes they do, they have an on demand section.

I don't want to see the line up with those 2 haha not quite sharks level bad, but bad nonetheless

If Mac wasn't on fire at the moment, this would be one of the weakest C lineups we've had since that time we had to play Grant-Wagner-Vermette-Kossila like 6 years ago.

 

[DuckRogers10]

Can you watch the game with just Hulu or do you need espn+ also?

 

[FiveHoleTickler]

Yes they do, they have an on demand section.

Are you able to navigate to that section without seeing the score?

 

[lwvs84]

Is the game on ESPN+/Hulu locally too or just if you're out of market?

It's an ESPN+/Hulu exclusive. So won't be on BSSC. Hoping we get the Bucci/Cally team.

When out of market, go to market and buy more market!

I don't mind that top-6, tbh. We're just doing it if Z and Carlsson are out. There's obvious chemistry between Killorn-Rico and both like to pass while Terry likes to shoot. Plus, the vets are good defensively.

Bottom-6 isn't out of place. We had Groulx as our 3C before and he was solid - not great, but also not bad.

We'd be more of a lunch pail without Z and Carlsson in the lineup.

If you must know Cronin challenged him in a blunt way to fix the special teams and change up shit. And he did. And it looks like it's working
