Zegras has his mojo back. Fully in control.

 

[HanSolo]

Zegras looks so good.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Zegras is starting to look like Kane

Nah, Zegras is initiating contact rather than just abandoning the puck when threatened.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Very good period. Can you sustain it for two more?

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Literally everyone screamed “DO IT” to Zegras there

I was hoping he would attempt the Michigan, but Torts Cronin doesn't do fun.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Literally everyone screamed “DO IT” to Zegras there

Was the perfect time for it, looked like he might but didn’t. Hopefully not a Cronin thing

 

[AngelDuck]

Imagine taking Alex Turcotte over Zegras

 

[ReptilianQuack]

Somehow, this is the lineup that has the team playing like an NHL squad for the last 2 weeks.

 

[Ducks DVM]

We did make it past 10 minutes today, so…

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

But I heard on the mainboards that’s all zegras does

 

[AngelDuck]

Not seeing where Fowler fits, still. Verbeek needs to be on the phones

Gunna be tough to move him unfortunetl

Detroit desperation move, and the ducks retaining seems like a decent option

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I hope someone clipped that Z shift

 

[All Mighty]

According to Natural Stat Trick, the Kings only generated 0.23 xG at 5v5 in that period (Ducks generated 0.88).

Ya I feel like Florida Detroit or maybe senators are the teams most likely to bite

Tough to figure out his trade value…. But team value is pretty meh right now

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Gotta watch the second period stretch passes. Kings are masters at that

 

[Hockey Duckie]

But I heard on the mainboards that’s all zegras does

Ahhh... so they do acknowledge Z is legendary.

 

[hockey webcomics]

Really appreciate the starting time. Just brought home wife with our 2nd kid (straight from the hospital) tho, so I hope everyone sleeps well in this (freshly expanded) household so I can watch

i hope the team put on a good show for the whole family.
the little duckling deserves to start his newborn fan life with a win!

 

[Static]

Their goalie looks terrible and we did a nice job extending several shifts in the offensive zone, but we need to finish something. Get to the crease against this guy

 

[Rooch]

I want to see Colangelo break out. He seems really close.

 

[AngelDuck]

If Verbeek truly wants to trade Gibby or Z (and I hope he doesn't), it should be TODAY. Both of them have skyrocketing value.

Gibson, maybe, but I think you fire Verbeek instantly if he trades Zegras. He’s really starting to get it, and the upside is just too immense

Ducks need to let this play out. McTavish is the same story. He’s 21

Yeah Z has been great. The points are not there but that’s the entire team. If on a team with competent coaching the Ducks would have some PPG players or at least close to it.

Gibson you can kinda see… 6.5 or whatever for a back up isn’t super realistic….. if someone is offering good value you got to at least consider.

Zegras is just plain dumb…. I think it’s fair to say he’s our best player right now…. And he’s only getting better.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Other fun - Gudas had a 94.3MPH shot, nobody else on the team over mid-70’s.
