We are staring a three-game losing streak in the face as Anaheim is just killing us.

 

[Maverick426h]

Lol We're absolutely terrible against the Ducks. Can't touch them.

This was pretty sad. We looked like the team that played the night before, but they actually were. Not enough jump and not near enough offensive pressure.

Mase should've definitely had the second goal against. Otherwise, he was alright. As bad as we've been at killing penalties, especially minus Couturier, we'd much rather do that than have Mason face a penalty shot.

All of that said, the Ducks and Andersen definitely got very lucky a couple times. The open net shot by White hit the shaft of Andersen's stick. Ghost's stick keeps breaking in half and often the puck just hit a body in front anyway. That and the fact that the Ducks are one of the dirtiest teams in the league and still managed to draw a lot of penalties that often cancelled out our power plays.

Just forget about this one and move on, but to be that flat in our own building (especially for the first 24 minutes or so) is completely unacceptable.

Damn straight Maverick about the Ducks being one of the dirtiest teams in the NHL. I just facepalm when I watch us play play them more times then I care to remember.

We got dominated in all three zones for 50 of the 60 minutes. That was terrible. We need to get bigger up front especially on the 3rd and 4th lines.

Also agree lasgop8.
