I definitely think of Colorado and Carolina when I watch Anaheim play.
Works for the daily news. He broke some things in the offseason, so he isn't some blogger.

Ducks are last in the league in shots against/game at 34.1, so this seems like a fair assumption.Wishcasting that Verbeek wants to establish a defensive mindset first, then take the shackles off of the skill guys. Not confident in that wish. Also think the GA/G has been largely driven by excellent goaltending.
We were actually up around 37-38 this season for a bit, too.Ducks are last in the league in shots against/game at 34.1, so this seems like a fair assumption.
Last season was 32.5.
And two days ago or whatever it was, people on this thread were talking about Whitney and the boys as if, it was evidence, it wouldn’t hold up in court, but probably true…. It was confirmation bias, and knoll’s says some barely even positive remarks about Cronin ….. in response to the splitting chicklets podcast most likely. And you immediately point out how it’s in his professional interest to instead of doing his job and reporting the facts, it is to paint the coach in a positive manner in order to gain access. Which then in theory turns all media people into (which most are) untrustworthy mouthpieces for some ulterior motive.
I really don’t even care all that much, just pointing out the logical fallacy in your statement about why knoll’s should be taken with a grain of salt, while you didn’t do the same for the VERY negative story said by guys, of whom ZERO said they had firsthand insider knowledge…. (Even though you said you believed it was said from players presently in the locker room, and current). Really like I said I don’t really care even if these 8 paragraphs say differently….. just wanted to let you know I think you used confirmation bias to believe what you wanted and poke holes in something I could best describe as not totally negative.

SA/game in the first 18 games last year was 32.7 shots against per game. Here is the chart for the first 18 games. We allowed over 40 Shots Against once in the first 18 games.

We're scoring less and allowing more shots this year than last year. Yep, we're relying a lot on our netminders for points.
