@Freudy Losers shouldn’t get points.
In a 2-1-0 point system the Ducks would have 67 points (we weren’t able to put it away in regulation a lot) and the Kings would have 57.
@Chewbakka42049@ieatantz@DucksKeys False, Allah is just the Arabic (a language) translation for the word God.
Muslims have a mistaken understanding of Gods nature, but Allah isn’t some demon.
Anyway, he was just being facetious, he doesn’t believe in actual hockey Gods I’m quite sure.
@ieatantz@DucksKeys allah is a fallen angel
A demonic idol
We do not worship allah or pedophile
muhammad in the USA
It is highly illegal to be muslim in the USA
Hockey Gods if you’re listening… make this the script 🙏🏼
If Ducks & Kings win on Thursday AND Oilers lose in regulation then round one would look like this:
Ducks vs Kings
Mackinnon vs McDavid
Vegas vs Utah
Dallas vs Minny
@NHL@Canucks I don’t understand why losing deserves a point. If anything, it deserves subtracting a point from the winner and that’s it. (Since the winner couldn’t put it away in regulation)
@TUnit1427@DucksDaily93 Personally, I favour keeping Minty. Love Zelly, but I just have this instinct that Mintyukov is gonna really thrive down the stretch.
@ACTAnalysis@DucksDaily93 yep 100% agree. on the right side ideally it’s a shutdown d man, trouba or Carlson, luneau and the left side is Lacombe, zelly or minty, and hinds
And no, criticizing this team doesn’t make you a bad fan.
It’s awesome they made the playoffs and there’s no doubt they’ve taken steps forward this year. But the immaturity and constant clunkers is definitely an issue. It’ll get better as this team gets more experienced, no doubt. But it’s bad right now
@TUnit1427@DucksDaily93 I think we need a bonafide shutdown D Man. We can move Minty or Zelly (not both) as one of them will command value in a trade, and we have lots of offensive D men (including Luneau in the back end).
Solberg will eventually pan out for us I think, and Hinds looked good.
@DucksDaily93 yeahhhh. making the playoffs is a big deal but the play these last 9 games has washed all the shine away. defense/goaltending needs to be the priority this offseason
@DucksDaily93 Criticize all you like, the reality is that the lumps they take now only add to the learning experience they get out of this playoff run.
And I didn't talk about Mason McTavish. I still really like him but he's pushed to 4th line. Wonder if he stays in Anaheim after this year and takes over the 2nd line C spot ... or could also be someone that say... oh... DETROIT targets to solve their 2C
there is no rush by Ducks of course
@rollingdux Most important point is number 1
Then the un mentioned number 4:
Points 2 and 3 are exactly what makes going to the playoffs a learning experience for young inexperienced teams.
Everyone arguing about different things but all correct at the end of the day:
1. Ducks season no matter what has been a success.
2. Ducks have thrown away an opportunity to make lives easier for themselves
3. Ducks are right where they belong.
An emotional and angry Rick Bowness goes OFF on his #CBJ team after their 2-8-1 finish to the season: “These guys, they don’t care. Losing is not important enough to them … If I’m back, we’re changing this freaking culture.”
Sennecke with the most unnecessary open ice move that leads to a turnover, forcing the Ducks to take a penalty and eventually giving up the GWG. The learning process continues.
Playoff momentum is everything. 📈 But who is actually driving it?
Stripping away the noise, the Context-Adjusted Lift (CAL) reveals the truth. Over the last 20 games, these are the ultimate difference-makers for their playoff-bound rosters. 🏒🚨
Playoff picture just locked.
Here's who's been the most dangerous context-adjusted, 5-on-5, last 10 games:
🥇 Nick Foligno · MIN
🥈 Colton Dach · EDM (traded)
🥉 Emil Andrae · PHI
Michkov. McAvoy. Hintz.
These guys didn't wait for the playoffs to start playing like it mattered.
@PASQUALEFO69435@NYsportSufferer Gatcomb seems to have played well for the last 10 games of the season. Trying to prove himself to be resigned?
Over the course of the season it would seem he's been more of a defensive center than offensive.
Gatcomb is on a one year deal which expires after this season.
So is Shabanov.
Maclean is making $775k and will be in the AHL next year.
Engvall and Duclair will either be traded or waived. Hello buyout?
Palat comes off after next year and
Schenn is actually good.
And the best part is even if they keep all of them which they won’t, they’ll still have $18 MILLION in cap space.
Did you even bother to google any of this or is this doomer narrative to intoxicating?
#isles forwards that suck that are under contract next year
• Kyle Maclean
• Max shabanov
• ondrej palat
• Anthony duclair
• Brayden schenn
• marc gatcomb
• Pierre Engvall
7 THAT'S 7 BUMS
TRADE EM ALL
Playoff spots just locked. These were the guys still fighting hardest to get one.
Except Joseph, he was just enjoying being a wrench in the gears of others.

Recent footage shows a crowd of people taking pictures of the astronauts, but nothing appears on their camera screens, as if the astronauts aren’t even there.
Very strange…
@BringHockeyBack I’m just happy for the Ducks getting a shot. As someone else said, we are ahead of schedule, so all of this is a bonus. The experience will be good for the young guys. If they can pull out a series win (which I think would have to go to at least 6 games if they do) all the better
