Speculation: Anaheim Ducks Training camp/Preseason 2024 (First Preseason game Sept 24th @7pm PT)

[Ducks DVM]

Fowler to Killorn for a very nice tip

After watching Verbeeks interview on spittin chiclets, he’s definitely taking the slow 10 year plan… he’s not a mover and shaker like a Burke or Dubas.

I just put $100 on Zegras to score 70+ points this season. +260 odds. Terry is +310 and I’m considering that too although it would be a lesser wager

McTavish is +550. Some pretty good value if you’re a believer I’m just not sure he’ll get there this soon

 

[JAHV]

I want to see Verbeek's face and hear his comments when one day in April I open up the Ducks Management thread after McTavish has had yet another middling season, Terry has been invisible for most of it, Leo has spent time injured, and Zegras has been traded away at the deadline.

Are we still going to be in the hunt for the playoffs the following year?

As (presumably) a Ducks fan, why would you want this?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Carlsson does not look significantly bigger or much stronger in these drills to me. Granted, hard to tell in pads.

Luneau does look as big against the big boys as he did vs prospects.

Regenda looks very motivated. Took a shot to the face earlier.

 

[Ducks DVM]

They’re working on dump and chase drills trying to teach the forwards where to actually go. Sorely needed if we are still gonna be wedded to that as our only system.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Blais and Masse bent over looking like they’re gonna puke, Hinds in between then looking like he’s making sure they’re not gonna die

 

[Ducks DVM]

Gazizov is missing from this segment (they switched rinks)

 

[Ducks DVM]

Fowler being paired with Luneau sometimes, but these drills are just the defensemen giving the forwards the pucks

Yeah, there's a lot of piss, vinegar and negativity floating around here lately. I'm not a fan of it.

We have a young team. The start of the new season is a time for optimism, especially for a team like ours.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Wiebe out, Lovsin in

Gudas has scored twice from range. Terry with a nice snipe

 

[Ducks DVM]

Helleson just leveled Mysak front of the net.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Zegras looks like Zegras.

 

[Ducks DVM]

McGinn looks decent, just scored.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Defensive pairings

LaCombe gudas
Vaakanainen Helleson
Smith Lindstrom

 

[Ducks DVM]

Terry looks bigger again.

Terry and McTavish play well off each other, and Zegras and McTavish play well off each other, Zegras and Terry appear to still be a work in progress.

Zegras is in super skilled mode though, and Terry is possessing the puck very well and putting passes where they should be, and McTavish is sniping like crazy and being very effective as the defensive forward.

In a recent "Light the Lamp" episode on the official website, Terry said he was able to put more mass on this summer. He said that he and his wife were always on top of what their babies eat, but didn't make the connection that he should do the same. Now, he's eating better as well as taking proper supplements. Also, he put in work in the gym like Verbeeks wants.

Light the Lamp has three episodes posted on Sept 16th, 18th, and 19th.
