Fair, I’d like to see him with Terry though for a bit because IMO Terry is our individual best line driver at the moment. And the thing Gauthier is struggling with the most is getting the puck from the neutral zone to the offensive zone

Liked that Cronin put Mintyukov and Leo out in OT. Last season it would have been Fowler and some vet forward. Thought McGinn was good tonight, on the puck and looked fast. Special teams are a major problem, coaches need to sort things out. Zegras and McTavish made things happen.

Why didn't Terry get credited with an assist on the OT goal?

Cutter is a sniper on a line that has trouble getting possession. Killorn is too slow to forecheck and Leo is best carrying the puck.

It’s important to remember that Leo still only has 3 points in his last 7 games. Should we be concerned?

Hope Lundy’s okay. Every time he gets his shit together he gets hurt.
Disappointing if he didn't.
When Tears made that beeline right in front of the goalie to pressure their dman i knew something good was gonna happen. I swear Terry takes some of the best forechecking routes of anybody in the league, all of our other forwards should be taking note.

That’s my take. He was so much worse tonight. You’d think he couldn’t lose that much confidence in a week.
It kills me that his goal song is candy shop… love that dude
That Terry takeaway from 2 Hockey Clubbers would turn even Eakins into Tortorella in their locker room 
You knew it was gonna be a goal as soon as Leo got it. He'd have scored a similar goal in the first but Crouse lift his stick. All alone Leo's nasty. Looks like he has shaken some rust off

leo's inability to win faceoffs is concerning. he lost a number of pretty crucial draws in the defensive zone tonight
gauthier needs to be sent down before his confidence takes a hit
really nice seeing mintyukov's offense come along. so much potential there
zellwegger has really been unimpressive. he's another one who needs to be sent down and i wouldn't be surprised if he ends up as trade bait

Terry's fitness seems to be top notch currently, did not notice him slow down at all during the whole game. He was brilliant using his quickness on the forecheck and applying pressure correctly. Did really well keeping possession in the ozone - outside of 1 really bad pass. Terry's stick was also active on defensive transitions clogging up passing lanes more often than not. He played a great game for sure.

Man, reading this thread all the way through after watching the game...it was the hfboards equivalent of an M. Night Shyamalan movie that you've already seen, only with much better writing.
It was far from perfect, but I thought this was a pretty good game for the Ducks. I would take a season of this, assuming some of the young player mistakes lessen throughout the year. There were some bright spots (Leo, the Terry/Strome/Vatrano line, Mintyukov, McTavish actually looking like a hockey player) and some negatives (Gauthier, the power play, Lundestrom going down).
The biggest one is Gauthier. It will be interesting to see how Cronin and Verbeek handle him if he doesn't snap out of it. He looked completely unsure of himself out there.

I think for Anaheim to be a "competitive" team they've got to be a high scoring teams, I don't think they're going to win alot scoring 3 or less. I know that's not championship hockey but you have to get these young guys playing meaningful games so they can learn

Should have known better that for Leo to produce, the only way was to drop him from my fantasy team...

Given the changes I've been seeing in Terry's game approach I'd be okay with that. I just don't love McGinn on the Leo line. Like at all. He was fine but I'm still not sold on McGinn and he didn't really have enough time on the line to establish that he can handle tougher match up draws.
