@TheHockeyNews My Thoughts...

Patrick has officially coined "the tall kid" moniker.

Three points in three AHL games, and this one was a rip Does the tall kid get an ELC and make his Ducks debut in the next week? #FlyTogether

Congrats to Lukas Dostal! #FlyTogether

Leo Carlsson said that being booed off the ice three games in a row hurt and that it was “a huge motivation” for the team heading into tonight’s game. #FlyTogether

My Thoughts...

Article: "One of those games where we needed it in the worst way, and we showed that we were going to do everything we could to find a way to get it.” -Joel Quenneville My Takeaways from the Ducks 6-1 win over the Sharks⤵️ @TheHockeyNews | #FlyTogether thehockeynews.com/nhl/anaheim-du…

Monster victory in Anaheim to snap their six-game winless streak. Carlson got the hatty, and Poehling shut down Celebrini, but Carlsson took over this game like a true 1C franchise player Final: 6-1 ANA #FlyTogether

Relentless motor from McTavish on this forecheck and drive to the crease. Vatrano cleans up the mess ANA 6-1 #FlyTogether

5v3: Terry, Granlund, and Carlson run a high weave, setting up Carlson for the one-timer, and hats rain down from Honda Center ANA 5-1 #FlyTogether

Terry misses the net high and wide. The rebound bounces past Hinds at the point, sending Toffoli on a rush. Anaheim over-backchecks, leaving a trailing Mukhamadullin streaking downhill through the middle Sharks are going to push hard in these final minutes 4-1 ANA #FlyTogether

No idea how Carlson kept this puck in at the blue, but after, the Ducks are able to reset, work it low to high, and Carlson uses two high Sharks penalty killers as screens and rips another by Askarov ANA 4-0 #FlyTogether

Ducks take a 3-0 lead into the locker room after two periods. Shots on goal read 18-8 in favor of Anaheim Atmosphere is much different than Tuesday vs Nashville, when they were booed after two periods. This time, they got a standing ovation #FlyTogether

After what could have been a catastrophic sequence, Dickinson whiffs on a low-high pass, sending Sennecke and Killorn on a 2v1 against Leddy. Sennecke's reach gets it around the sliding defenseman, and the puck bounces to Killorn, who buries ANA 3-0 #FlyTogether

Leo Carlsson brought his dancing shoes tonight #FlyTogether

Granlund with a big o zone faceoff win. Sennecke pressures Misa with a good forecheck. Toffoli can't clear. Sennecke gets to the net for a screen, takes a beating, and Carlson rips one by Askarov to extend the early lead for Anaheim ANA 2-0 #FlyTogether

Kreider with a clever slip pass to hit Carlsson with speed out of the Ducks' d zone. Carlsson gets to go 1v1 against a forward (Dellandrea), covering for a pinching Leddy. He gives a huge gap, Carlsson dances, and puts the Ducks up one early ANA 1-0 #FlyTogether
