  1. I’m super amped about this season. So much to be excited about, even if the team isn’t great.
  2. I think if I’ve learned anything is that whenever things leak about the Ducks it’s never fully true. They’ve alway been very tight lipped. So this is all probably some ploy from Zegras’ camp. I feel it’s a failure to not have this and JD ready for camp, but I don’t feel panicked, maybe a tad annoyed.
  3. He also had a career best offensive season last year. Killorn’s contract should have zero impact on a Zegras deal. I still think Killorn was a great signing. I actually think the AAV is fair, it’s probably 2 years too long, but Killorn brings some nastiness, some goal scoring, some defense and the ever illusive intangibles. I’m not the biggest believe on that, but it’s obviously huge to have some players who have won at the highest level and maintained success is important. If Killorn is a 20-25 goal scorer and 50-60 pt getter for 2-3 years of this deal I’m happy.
  4. It’s always frustrating that the biggest names in hockey have no clue about anything related to the Ducks. Just listened to dangle’s podcast where they talked about Zegras being unsigned. It was painful. I don’t understand the sentiment that this team is still trying to lose, it’s very apparent the team is trying to take steps forward.
  5. every time Cronin talks I like him more. He’s a very new school guy underneath the hard nosed guy exterior. This is something I saw Mintyukov do a lot of in the rookie tournament.
  6. McT is reportedly a minor in injury, so I’m not concerned.
  7. Not having Zegras and Drysdale ready for camp is a pretty large failure from PV in my eyes. New coach, new players. Drysdale just missed an entire year, you want both of these guys on the ice asap.
  8. Regenda was more ready than most bums this team employed last year. Nesterenko looked great. I’d say he should be a shoe in, but this team employs too many bad forwards on NHL deals.
  9. Ducks are firstly. There’s obviously been a point to play hard, they’ve been crunching people all tournament, finishing every check and dropping the mitts. Wonder how much of this we see on the big club.
  10. Sidorov reminds me a lot of Kase. The way he utilizes cut backs and is hard to get off the puck along the boards. He’s also dogged on the puck and possesses a lot of dynamic offensive talent
  11. I’ve been impressed with Suchanek, Alexander was pretty disappointing. Wonder if Suchanek can get a contract after this.
  12. Nesterenko wastes another perfect Carlsson pass
  13. Ducks look slow the last two games. Issue with the draft big strategy. They also lack forward depth.
  14. If Nesterenko could finish Carlsson has like 3-4 assists this game. He was very good. He’s so much like Kopitar, nothing super fancy, but always is dangerous and has the capability to beat you at all. He’s been so good. Not sure stars, but I think he has 3-4 pts in 2 games and should easily have 2-3 more
  15. Some notes i saw. Carlsson was just better than anyone in the ice when he was playing. He looks more explosive on that first step and when he’s at full speed he’s a moose, he absorbs contact so well and imposed his will. He’s got sick hands. Lacombe was rock solid couldn’t ask much more of him tonight sidorov was dangerous several times, just couldn’t finish. Zellweger was so dynamic at the offensive blue line. I was not impressed with the PK at all. And they still got hemmed for long periods of time in the defensive zone team looked bigger and faster, Vegas didn’t have a single clean break out it felt. Team causes a lot of turnovers and layed several massive hits. Felt like they finished every check.
  16. I was totally wrong on Gaucher so far. He was PPG for the Ramparts, lead em to a memorial cup and won best defensive for forward in his league. Looking at who was drafted after him, 2 names stand out as guys who I think might be on better tracks? Yurov and Hutson? But even then it’s way too soon to tell. Then PV promptly got Noah Warren and Tristan Luneau in the second round pick. I’m willing to give Myatovic a year before I really make any conclusions. I learned my lesson. I feel like there was players that could’ve been better, but all reports about Myatovic was that more GMs were willing to reach for him. So he’s got something going on.
  17. Way too early to be out on Myatovic let’s relax
  18. 3 out of 4 goals scored by a defensemen is pretty telling of the strengths of this farm
  19. That Nesterenko turnover on the PP late in a game you’re winning by 2 is unacceptable in a real game. Warren with a bad penalty too. That late 3rd period was a very Ducks third period.
  20. Good job from Clang. Exactly what you need from your netminder when you’ve dominated a game
  21. Luneau has been great tonight as well.
  22. Could really use a save for Clang. Ducks have by far been the better team.
