f***ing one-hopper to the point. Why do we make the simplest plays incredibly difficult and stupid?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hot take

Mintyukov is already our best dmen

Not a good team!

 

[Steppin Razor]

No, but apparently McGinn is allergic to peanuts.

I'm probably going to hell for this, but after I heard about our 21st Duck this season I couldn't not think of that Louis C.K. skit

Seriously, we give them so much f*#&ing space in our own zone it's absurd. Just a bunch of puck watchers waiting for something to happen.

They’re collapsing in tight. Guarantee that is how they’re being coached. It makes it tougher to break out and ever create anything in transition. Playing not to lose.

Getting there. He's playing with a lot more fire than he did in preseason.

 

[Deuce22]

First line doesn’t have a forechecker

 

[Mr Rogers]

Terry’s been great.

 

[HanSolo]

Leo's been doing it a bit.

 

[AngelDuck]

Minty is starting to look like a top pairing D

i dont know if any of our defensemen really stand out as far better than the others.

That’s killorn job

Horrible defense

 

[la patineuse]

Lukas!!!

 

[Ducks DVM]

Fowler did a good thing!

I think McTavish rode him the full 8 seconds

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

First home opener I’ve missed live in a very long time. Are we at least keeping it even?

 

[LuGBuG]

That’s killorn job

Well no. It’s the F1s job.

 

[Deuce22]

Fowler is shaky in his own zone

mctavish gave him a big old bear hug

 

[AngelDuck]

What is wrong with Fowler?

It’s looking that way

Wake me up when Mac wins a puck battle, could use the rest.

What isn't wrong with the guy at this point

Sordof… but it was kinda his fault he was in that situation too

Soft on the puck

 

[HanSolo]

My bigger concern with the first line is they keep getting hemmed in the defensive zone. They're just letting Utah have the time and space and are sticking with the collapse but then don't react fast enough when Utah drifts in between the dots so they're just weaving around unchallenged.
