Anyone else getting tired of the gamely soft goals by Freddy?

Pointless, yet relevant halfway mark comparison

This year: 26-9-6, 58 points, +5 goal differential, PP% 15.4, PK% 79.4
Last year: 28-8-5, 61 points, +32 goal differential, PP% 16.0, PK% 82.2

Good win after pulling themselves together. Special teams are a real concern though.

I'm hopeful that a healthy defense will pull the PK numbers together. The power play's been bad for more than a season, now, so no reason to expect it do anything other than suck.

 

[Arthuros]

2/2 on GDTs. Boo-yeah.

 

[DaDucks*]

You have a vivid imagination.


Not a top defender, too inexperienced.

hamp doin his thang

I had to look up what D&D was

I do write song parodies instead of watching playoff football though

They usually aren't untimely like hiller's were. Plus his save percentage is still up there and I expect them to fade when he gets more experience. He's leading our 3 stars leader board so he's gotta be doing something right.

I hope so. But man could you imagine his stats without those soft goals

You mean if he never made a mistake?

What I don't understand is why we let the puck carrier handle the puck without any pressure on the power play. If you look at all the successful PK units, they pressure the puck, while the rest of the squad rotates over.

theres a long list of things that our special teams do poorly

 

[Ducks DVM]

Yeah, they usually play much more passively, but it was working well for a few weeks there. Lately they're losing position and puck chasing though, which is opening lanes.

To be honest I can't tell why it's so terrible. The team defense is actually very good for the most part, but on the PK the forwards are easily broken down on the points and the dmen make poor decisions with the puck.

It almost leads me to think the scheme doesn't fit our personnel.

 

[AngelDuck]

They give up point shots too easily. Simply cannot do it against a team like Nashville who has Ellis and Weber.

You gotta pressure at high and make Weber pass

 

[snowave]

as far as the PK....Defense collapses into a zone and is not aggressive at all. You hardly ever see any teams do this anymore as it's no longer effective in this league... but for some reason, the Ducks keep this style.

On the PP, we stand around too much. Period. Tonight, the passing was quicker, but it doesn't really matter how fast you pass the puck around if your guys are more or less stationary.

There are some fundamental issues here that seriously need to be changed.

Maybe this has been asked and answered before, but do we have special teams coaches? If so, they need to be fired. If not, they need to be hired.
