My expectations were low, but holy duck…



Expectations were low, but holy duck… With the Ducks fielding mostly AHL players and the Kings rolling out a near-regular lineup, it wasn’t pretty. Brian Dumoulin stood out in his unofficial debut, but beyond that, few players impressed. Trevor Zegras and the team struggled defensively, falling apart after a decent first period, losing 4-0. I recap round 2 of Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings preseason action in this video! #nhl #hockey #anaheimducks #lakings

  1. Cro has a lot to prove, as does everyone else… So why do I get the feeling no one is gonna prove shit

  2. As always your impressions of the game is highly appreciated!

    Concerning stuff to read about the Ducks culture and coaching…

  3. only spot that is up for grabs is backup G until Gibson comes back. everything else is locked up. nobody gained or lost anything that game

  4. How long until Verbeek is held accountable for the results? Has he had long enough time to rebuild the team into a winner? How is the Ducks' situation different that Vegas' situation? They seem to put a good product on the ice season after deason.

  5. It’s preseason..it’s preseason…it preseason but it Sucks to lose to the Kings. It wasn’t boring hockey…it was ugly hockey. I hope we don’t see any of this regular season. This had remnants of past seasons with bad passing, no shots, passing up shots, puck watching and just constantly turning the puck over or giving it back. Your comments are spot on. The vets didn’t bring their A game or any game for that matter. Strome still taking stupid penalties and Z not shooting??? What’s up with that! The start looked promising, the PK had some positive moments, the rest sucked and the end showed signs of life …too late. The new D-Man Dum shows he can handle pressure and not just get rid of the puck. Our goalie 🤨🧐🥴…why did we sign him again???? More cuts please especially Helleson…why is he still being looked at. Kid is no where near ready for the show. Still happy to see some Ducks hockey but this one was hard to watch. go ducks 🎉

  6. At least the team learned that Trevor is a wing and Dansk is not an NHL goalie. As for the Lybushkin stuff, it's one person's opinion. Whitney hated Carlyle but Getzlaf and Perry loved him. That being said, though, there better be a noticeable improvement in play this season or they need to get rid of Cronin.

  7. Yep, has to be something going on, 59 pts an no push back in most losses. The coach/team doesn't show marked Improvement this season might be time to actually hire a real coach cuz the last 2 aint got it done! Like you said strange how they can't figure out where/when to play Z. J Woodcroft out there?

  8. We need a backup goalie. And I was impressed with victory. For a free streamer, the ads seemed less and the quality of the pictures was still there. As for Z, quit playing around and make the line have mct and cutter around him.

  9. That lineup was too soft. This reiterates that its going to be a long losing season. We are near a sure bet to be bottom 5 if not bottom 2-3. I expect Cronin to be axed fairly soon.

  10. Cronin won’t last long. Even though I hate to say it, based on what we’re seeing in preseason, the systems haven’t changed much and I suspect there won’t be much tangible improvement this year. If that ends up being the case, Cronin will just have to go. To be honest, never liked the guy for whatever reason and it has seemed pretty obviously the players don’t like him much. Lybushkin saying what he said kind of just confirms it.

  11. I appreciate your videos! I have always been a casual duck fan but want to really learn the lineups and players this year. Your videos are great and they're helping me figure it all out!

  12. “Holy Duck!” I love it! Can’t expect much from last night when you compare the talent level.

  13. im not a cronin fan based on the on ice product.. not great hearing those comments from a former player
