Former Ducks (2024-25 edition)

[Hockey Duckie]

Drysdale's 2nd game back. In this game, he played 3:04 on the PP, 0:53 on the PK, and 14:31 at ES. His 18:28 is the 4th highest for D-men in the game, but 3rd line minutes at ES play. Good for Drysdale.

Nice of Farabee to make Drysdale feel at home by doing the trademark Ducks extra pass to nobody instead of shooting.

Every time there is a Drysdale sighting in these parts, I just hope the news isn't that he got injured again.

I still don't know what to make of his potential (or what's left of it), but there has to got be something there if Madden & co picks a defenceman with 6th overall, no matter the draft year.

I also remember some of his interviews, especially those when he was out, but trained hard to come back. This kid loves hockey, and it would be really sad if he didn't get to live his dream, just a while longer at least. Not many of us do (I dream of sleep, not getting any), but I hope he makes it. I hope we all make it.

Who knows - There have gotta been some young glass cannons who recovered, and got healthy later on?

How's Gauthier been doing? Last couple I watched a few weeks ago he looked stronger, faster and overall more engaged. Is that still a thing, or is the stink everywhere now?

Kiefer Sherwood on pace for over 500 hits this season

I almost thought it was a typo... the guy has 168 hits through 27GP! Pretty sure Jeremy Lauzon broke the record last year with 383. also on pace for 24G 42P. Not a bad pickup at all.

Insane.

He's also on 40 point pace. Happy for him

Just random googling and here’s something from last season from the great Dallas Eakins. Honestly not an awful read.
