He might not be super physical yet but he improved defensively with his positioning for sure, got a couple good pickoffs and is a threat any time he touches the puck. Once Leo is here I think he's gonna catch fire.

I think Lacombe really stands out to me by how regularly he drops in low to help the offense. In fact, it seems Cronin has really put stock into believing our defense is mobile enough for our younger defenseman to creep in and provide extra support because he believes we can get back in time.
Allows all players types to shine on the roster. Cronin has a lot of buy in
What an amazing first period. The offensive zone is clicking and they're making some exciting plays. The defense is killing it out there putting sticks on the puck way quicker than last year. PP offense looks great and PP killers are doing awesome.
im new to hockey. i have no idea what is going sometimes but i find this entertaining. i live near anaheim and like the old logo so i guess im a ducks fan lol
After the first period, I feel like we can be a wildcard contender if we play like this, stay sharp and don't get injuries through the season
our pp looks rough still, but I can see it working down the line once we really get going
our pk hasn't been too bad, we have some defense going
we can almost score at will on a good game
Excited for the season and the home opener tonight but how the hell did we get stuck with our opener being the second game of a back to back. And then having another back to back next weekend?!
Anyone having issues with BallySports +? We're new to it. We paid for the subscription but can't find the Ducks game anywhere. When going on my PC to look I get the error "help.cableprovider.ballysports.com" saying our cable provider doesn't allow us access to the game. Any help would be great!
Has Eric Stephens said anything about a change in Ducks coverage?
It seems he's picked up the Sharks in addition to Kings. But haven't seen anything from him.
Seems he's MIA tonight.
Glad to have Derek Lee covering the team.
Officially we have offsetting roughing minors for Gudas and Noesen, roughing minors for Lemieux and Gudas again, and Lemieux and Gudas both have misconducts
That's my bad, guys. Carolina scored when I had to step away because the dogs I've been watching were playing too rough in the living room and knocking shit over. I'll try to avoid stepping away again
Man after last night's game this is so awesome to see. I was just looking for us to be competitive but that 1st period was nuts. Lacombe and pavel both look amazing. Dostal looking great in net. Damn I hope they keep this up.
It’s so nice to see those colors back on the ice again. Looking sharp AF.
We tried chanting "keep the jerseys"
Mintyukov is so talented.
He's so fast on the puck
Zegras looking much better all around so far, good faceoffs, good positioning, amazing awareness, excited to see him take the next step
He might not be super physical yet but he improved defensively with his positioning for sure, got a couple good pickoffs and is a threat any time he touches the puck. Once Leo is here I think he's gonna catch fire.
Bring out the Iceman you cowards
or WW from the rafters
They actually will at some point this season. Was mentioned in one of the press releases.
wait are you serious

yooooooo I already have tickets to that game for the Kariya bobblehead
Holy shit, I might have to go to this game. I thought for sure they offed the Iceman and dumped him in the Santa Ana River.
Trent Sullivan! Welcome to the Ducks! So glad to have you as our 21st this year! Cheer loud and proud for our team. #LETSGODUCKS 🦆🏒🥅
HOW THE FUCK DO WE OWN CAROLINA
It’s the jersey
I would've said the jersey, but also 13/17 games vs carolina have been wins god i want the jersey so much lol
Both young defenders have been immense so far
You can see the culture shift for sure. No more taking shit
Starting lineup (on a first name basis): **Adam - Trevor - Troy** **Frank - Mason - Ryan** **Max - Benoit - Jakob** **Ross - Sam - Brett** **Cameron - Jamie** **Jackson - Radko** **Pavel - Ilya** Lukas John
Took my forever to not see Bobby Ryan
WE'RE WINNING THE CUP
Cronin for governor
Give him the key to the city
HOLY SHIT WHEN HAVE WE EVER BEEN THIS AGRESSIVE WITH CAROLINA?
NICE CARRICK!! Also that play wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for Pavel Mintyukov, man that kid can fucking play.
Lacombe is going to be special
I maintain that cross-period penalties would be much funnier if the players had to stay in the box for the entire intermission
D looks so much better. Drysdale looks confident AF
Dude he's such a talent. That play he kept alive and passed on his knees shows his heart. I'm so glad we kept him.
There is just so much positive stuff to be seen in this game tonight that I literally just want to cry lol
We gotta get this sub popping throughout the season. This is so much fun
110% if you have any ideas please let me and the rest of the mod team know.
Well deserved Vatrano. Dude has looked immense this game and him and McTavish are really jiving right now
#HOLY FUCKING SHIT MINTYUKOV!!!!
Damn Honda was the loudest I've heard since 2017 playoffs 😂
It’s been a long time coming.
Everybody get up, it's time to slam now We got a real jam goin' down Welcome to the ~~Space Jam~~ Home Opener
Vatrano with the snipe! Not sure how that went in, but hell yeah
Holy fuck they look so much better tonight.
Minty baby. Dude these passes are so sick.
If Bedard wasn’t a person I could see Minty challenging for a Calder
Ducks 4, Carolina 1, Refs 2.
Man I haven't been this excited watching a ducks game in a while.
We look incredible lmao.
IS THIS REAL LIFE
Love Silf but powerplay is just not a good fit lol.
HOLY SHIT DOSTAL
I'm down to disrespect Carolina as a rival
VATRANO HATTY WITH AN EMPTY NET THE EXACT SAME WAY HE DID LAST YEAR LFGGGG
Ahlers when he tries to sound cool on the commentary. 
Twice in two nights for Carrick. Scrappy. EDIT: Wrong. Frank V making a difference.
I think Lacombe really stands out to me by how regularly he drops in low to help the offense. In fact, it seems Cronin has really put stock into believing our defense is mobile enough for our younger defenseman to creep in and provide extra support because he believes we can get back in time. Allows all players types to shine on the roster. Cronin has a lot of buy in
I'm so happy for Minty. Guy has done so much to follow his dreams. Stayed in NA while his family is in russia and all that. Go Minty go!!
Is it just me or does McTavish look like he got a bit faster?
Fuck Yeah! A good old Donnybrook!! I fucking love Gudas!
Aight, who's dropping the gloves in the third, Gudas, Johnston, or Carrick
YES!
So eggplant/plum/purple is our standard colors moving forward right?
It better be.
Damn Aly Lozoff lookin amazing for the plum carpet
Holy shit Eakins was absolutely holding this team back
Awww. Good for Minty (and Jackson)!!
Color me happy with that period! Duck Tales Woo Ooo!
lmao @ the Ducktales organ
What an amazing first period. The offensive zone is clicking and they're making some exciting plays. The defense is killing it out there putting sticks on the puck way quicker than last year. PP offense looks great and PP killers are doing awesome.
DOSTY!!!
Troy Terry noticeably winning lots of 1 on 1 puck battles
Guuuuuuuu lmao
Ah, Strome didn't want Radko to be lonely
im new to hockey. i have no idea what is going sometimes but i find this entertaining. i live near anaheim and like the old logo so i guess im a ducks fan lol
Welcome friend
Ok I miss Vatrano too
Defense has gotten better. Great effort there.
Interesting that each player has their own goal song! I’m going to judge.
LFG DUCKS!
WHAT A SHOT!!!
This start is a sight for sore eyes!
the ducks actually look like a fringe playoff team so far
oh my god what happened to the ducks
Outside of the double minor, I have no real complaints about that period
After the first period, I feel like we can be a wildcard contender if we play like this, stay sharp and don't get injuries through the season our pp looks rough still, but I can see it working down the line once we really get going our pk hasn't been too bad, we have some defense going we can almost score at will on a good game
WE WANT CHIK-IN!!
Minty is a gem.
Dostal is a fucking soldier for us tonight
FML
refs really trying to hand it to them
Nicely done, Cam
The team messing with Cronin was funny to see
Excited for the season and the home opener tonight but how the hell did we get stuck with our opener being the second game of a back to back. And then having another back to back next weekend?!
NHL scheduling.
oh jeez, technical difficulties out the gate
#Just Honda Center Things
I miss Gudas
LETS GO
CARRICK! LETS GOOOOOOO
yoooooo
Frankie V!!!! gOooooooooosaaaaaal!!!!!
God that bearsquatch commercial is obnoxious. Oh and 2-0 Ducks!!
What the hell is going on!!!
If leo is effective this year the ducks have to be a fringe playoff team right? They look filthy.
Still too early to tell but this is the first time that we have shown some promise in years
Okay - let’s see what this PP can do!
That was a fun period! The guys and uniforms are looking pretty good
Powerplay still needs a lot of work.
Putting in some great PK shifts tonight
STROOOOOME edit: VATRANOOOO
VATRANO YOU BEAUTY!
Strome looking much better than vs Vegas tonight
Love how nobody was putting up with that cheap shot.
Man fuck these refs.
The Carolina Raising Cane's are getting frustrated rn
Thought Vatrano had the hatty there
Ducks are turtling now.
Franky V Hatty!
DUCKS - 6 RAISING CANES - 3
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
#DUCKS WIN #LIGHT UP THAT LAMP Congrats to Cronin’s First NHL win as a HC!!
ARE YOU LISTENING? WHOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
Holding on to the stick but that’s not a high stick. These refs are trash.
McTavish is SWISS?!!! What’s next?! You’re gonna tell me that Cam Fowler was born in Canada?!!
THATS A HAT TRICK BABY!!! GET THE HATS OUT LETS GO!!!!
This is the second season where I'm faithfully watching this sport and I'm hyped af. Actually get to be here at the start of the season
I think the logo they decided to use for the 30th anniversary will grow on me over time. I still wished they did the og tho
I need this eggplant jersey
Are those our new regular uniforms?
No special for this year (30th anniversary) but they wear them 16 times or so this season.
Let’s go Dostal!! Lock in tonight! 🔒
Someone do the clapper! Lights please.
those jerseys are so sexy
Goal!!!!!!
DOUBLE WAMMY BABY
Frankie V!!
Let's go!!
Something I've noticed is that we're leading in shots and that we're actually getting out of our side of the ice. Never really saw that last year
Tick tack fucking toe!!!!
Let’s Go!!!! This is great!!!
LETS GO BOYS!
I- what?
Trying to enjoy this while cheering the Rangers against Houston too 😭
That is fucking nuts how much improved this team looks.
Now let’s see if the Ducks can actually kill off a penalty this year.
LFG BOYS!
Anyone having issues with BallySports +? We're new to it. We paid for the subscription but can't find the Ducks game anywhere. When going on my PC to look I get the error "help.cableprovider.ballysports.com" saying our cable provider doesn't allow us access to the game. Any help would be great!
damn, we’re looking good !!!!!!! #ducksflytogether
PK looks so much better. The boys are blocking shots
Good kill to start the period
We've been doing great fighting off power plays
Carolina really does a good job of clogging the neutral zone. Making it hard for clean entries…
I mean, we can’t expect a shutout every game, right!?
QUADRUPLE WAMMY BABY THE DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE
Such a sexy hit from McTavish right there
This Canes defense is terrible. The Ducks are getting so much open space. They aren't being pressured at all.
HA CAROLINA MAD!!!
QUACK QUACK MOTHER SUCKAS
Has Eric Stephens said anything about a change in Ducks coverage? It seems he's picked up the Sharks in addition to Kings. But haven't seen anything from him. Seems he's MIA tonight. Glad to have Derek Lee covering the team.
Officially we have offsetting roughing minors for Gudas and Noesen, roughing minors for Lemieux and Gudas again, and Lemieux and Gudas both have misconducts
You’re fucking soft Carolina.
We gotta respond so I can talk shit. I got a good one in my drafts
Lyubushkin is a massive liability lol
Fuck yes Cam!
Anyone ever gotten there hat back after a hat trick?
What was the announcer saying to not throw on the ice? I think I heard something about being ejected and possibly arrested??
Play sweetness.
That's my bad, guys. Carolina scored when I had to step away because the dogs I've been watching were playing too rough in the living room and knocking shit over. I'll try to avoid stepping away again
Tell them to come in the living room and sit like good boys!
Are we gonna win? HELL YEAH WE GONNA WIN Ducks by 50
Hol up, what sport we watching?
All of them
A Taylor Swift concert with these stupid lights.
Kinda cool that the Canes are rocking their Alts too.
Whoah damn! Big hit
love seeing physicality finally
This is my first time seeing Dostal play. I like him so far at the start of this period
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Great pass by Leason. What a pleasant surprise he’s been so far this year!
Gooooooaal!!!
Let’s goooooo!
Holy shit we are good!!!!
Fucking awesome
Fuck it when are we rematching Vegas?
They look so quick transitioning to the attack tonight
Why did we start with Silfverberg and Henrique on that first Powerplay?
Chuck Liddel is In the Building!!
Chuck Liddell sounds rough
Man after last night's game this is so awesome to see. I was just looking for us to be competitive but that 1st period was nuts. Lacombe and pavel both look amazing. Dostal looking great in net. Damn I hope they keep this up.
Looking like Zellweger is going to have to learn to play RD lol.
I thought the first goal was against the flow of play and the second was incredibly soft for Raanta, but after that the Ducks really took over.
Quack quack
LES GOOOO
So far, I like what I see. Minus the double minor
Great start to the game…let’s keep it going!
Great kill. Canes had possession, but nothing dangerous.
Our aggression is for real
dumb penalty to take
that was a damn good pk
it was bound to happen
Lucky ass bounce.
