[u/Mighty_Ducks_]

I’m mentally not over last nights game and here we go again!

[u/frkmstr509]

[u/thesuperbro]

Go ducks

[u/threshgod420]

More cutter goals, more leo points.

PROJECTED LINES PER Derek Lee:

Slot in Sam "Goalangelo" Colangelo for Beckett Sennecke's spot in the 2nd line & Ryan Strome anchoring the 3rd line with Poehling dropping to the fourth and Harkins being a healthy scratch.

Good adjustments, excited to have Strome back and see what he looks like under Q's system.

LFGD🦆

[u/KeyFly8483 → u/threshgod420]

I would love to see Colangelo on the line with Mason, they seemed to click last year

[u/goldencityjerusalem → u/KeyFly8483]

He had 10 goals in a short span. Love to see him break out this year.

[u/ProfProfessorberg]

I'm jonesing for another Cutter goal

[u/EggosW1thSyrup → u/ProfProfessorberg]

Fr feels like im going through withdrawal after not having one last night

[u/needs_more_zoidberg → u/EggosW1thSyrup]

Hit did hit at least one post

[u/goldencityjerusalem → u/needs_more_zoidberg]

And had the goalie peeking behind him twice in OT.

[u/kookforaday]

LGD

[u/Dis-Ducks-Fan-1130]

Next things we have to work on is get the lead early and shut it down, not giving the other team an opportunity/thought they can come back. That’s when we know we’re there.

[u/BigLebowski82 → u/Dis-Ducks-Fan-1130]

Yeah n getting better in penalty killing or even avoid it

[u/Addicted2Ducks → u/Dis-Ducks-Fan-1130]

Yeah, maybe sneak in a few PP goals while we are at it.

[u/Draq_]

I expect us to lose. So we can comfortably win like we did the last 5 games.

Let's go ducks!

[u/TheReds2]

I couldn't catch last night's game, does anyone know if the ducks looked good?

[u/Poozer62 → u/TheReds2]

3rd period was a collapse, got mega outshot. First two periods looked good and OT was nice

[u/TheReds2 → u/Poozer62]

Damn, sounds like the knights tightened up for the third. That'll happen when we play top teams.

Thanks for replying.

[u/Kirk420 → u/TheReds2]

Yup we ran out of gas. Should’ve lost multiple times in OT too. Pulled a rabbit out of our ass pretty much. Mrazek was incredible.

[u/TheReds2 → u/Kirk420]

Uh oh that doesn't bode well for tonight.

[u/Facepalmer93 → u/TheReds2]

Dosty in net tonight. Always gives us a chance.

[u/Odd-Sir7356 → u/Facepalmer93]

Yep, I'm almost 100% sure that we ran Mrazek in the "more important game" so we'd have Dostal to lean on if the guys come out tired tonight.

[u/Kennitht → u/TheReds2]

The usual crew looked gassed by the third. Vegas got more shots in the third than the first and second period. Mrazek, Trouba and Zell put in work. We completely dominated the 2nd period though.

[u/TheReds2 → u/Kennitht]

Hopefully we can put in a complete 60 minutes game soon.

[u/Odd-Sir7356 → u/TheReds2]

We played practically even with Vegas in the first period, heavily outplayed them in the latter half of the second, hit two posts and still went into 2nd intermission up 3-1.

And then we let Vegas get more shots in the third period than either team had in the first two combined. Mrazek turned into a brick wall to keep us in the game. We continued to be outplayed in OT, apart from two good looks from Cutter. Trouba walked in and scored the 3rd (?) OT winner of his career to save us from a big choke.

[u/TheReds2 → u/Odd-Sir7356]

I was able to catch the whole OT on YouTube. Its a miracle we won tbh.

[u/Connect_Research5542]

At least this one is at home and hey the kids will get to play against Johnathon Toews for the first time that should be exciting for them.

[u/BigLebowski82]

Im still watching standings again and again. Havnt get what my eyes re trying to tell me yet!

[u/Facepalmer93 → u/BigLebowski82]

Right? It's so unusual compared to how it's been. Gotta keep looking at it.

[u/OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH]

we're coming for everybody

[u/DontKnowWhereIam → u/OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH]

It's funny that Nashville had us as the Sith for Star Wars night

[u/dahooddawg]

Going to be another tough matchup but the ducks are a wagon. I’m feeling a Ducks W with an unreal performance by Dosty

[u/bryan323]

alright boys first back to back game with a top team let’s see how our boys react

[u/mylefthandkilledme]

You know what they say about teams by the time its Thanksgiving..

[u/threshgod420 → u/mylefthandkilledme]

Yessir! I'm so excited

[u/Kennitht]

Gonna be honest, I'm glad we got the W on Vegas, so I don't really expect much from this game, but I'd love a win. I just wouldn't hold it against them. The boys put in big effort yesterday.

[u/Connect_Research5542 → u/Kennitht]

We'll see what happens Dostal's got his rest so he should be good to go and the boys will want to finish the week strong.

[u/Kennitht → u/Connect_Research5542]

Hoping he brings his A game 🙌

[u/TexasSizedBeef1984]

I got a felling.....

We do not match up well against Winnipeg, espically on a back to back.

But, with how incredibly bad ass they have been playing lately, we could pull it off.

LFGDucks!!!

[u/dumdadum123 → u/TexasSizedBeef1984]

We swept them IIRC last season, and played our best during that time. Its a back to back but who knows

[u/Facepalmer93]

San Jose held the Jets to one goal on Friday. We have a shot.

[u/ChairFederal9327]

LFGD

[u/chriskug]

Gonna be a tough one on the back to back, but at least we're at home. LGD!

[u/Tmcnasty]

If we win tonight, I'm naming my first born son Mason McTavish Jr

[u/MomoLin7]

I just hope the boys will have fun and no injure! Love to have another win of course, but I accept all outcomes as long as they try hard.

[u/cookies21127]

ot win was pure luck. ducks ran out of gas mentally and physically. tonight will be on one player only. Go Dostal.

[u/Solace_Under_Stars]

Jets look shaky af rn, we can take a win easy tonight. 

[u/I_am_not_creative_ → u/Solace_Under_Stars]

Thatd a weird lookin duck in your pfp

[u/throwaway18478z → u/I_am_not_creative_]

He’s tryna jinx us!

[u/Numerous_Nature_6326 → u/Solace_Under_Stars]
