The Ducks faced a tough challenge against the red-hot Vegas Golden Knights, battling injuries, missed opportunities, and power play struggles in a hard-fought 3-1 loss. Despite going down a forward and losing Gibson early, the team showed resilience with key moments from Dostal, McTavish, and Gudas. Unfortunately, defensive lapses and turnovers sealed Anaheim’s fate as they head into the holiday break. On the bright side, Helleson returned to the lineup, and the Ducks showed signs of promise in a tough matchup.

I feel so bad for Gibson 😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This season is based on injury’s
Ok we got to try to trade Gibson before he gets hurt again
Merry Christmas
Ngl I think we need to work on our pass control one of the things I notices was that our passing was a little wonky but still great game
I was going to head to the watch party, but then I saw we were playing Vegas. Eeesh. I can predict these games without trying. Until next time
The most disturbing thing I saw during this game, the Ducks 3 Star leader board. I took note that none of Zegras, McTavish, nor Carlsson are listed. I thought that was the core going forward on offense. Guess we get coal again this year….Thanks for the spirited vid
I think you are right to feel a little more hopeful. I feel like the ducks are playing solid for the most part, with the exception of the PP output.
Seeing Helleson come back was good! He didn’t seem to miss a beat so I hope he stays in the lineup moving forward.
I really like what I’m seeing from Cutter. When he gets the puck he is skating with intensity and confidence. He’s made some great looking passes for scoring chances.
The Ducks need to construct their team to beat the Golden Knights. They are the golden (pun intended) standard right now.
10ply Terry struck again. So much for Rich Clune making our powerplay better. Didnt think we actually played all that bad for the 2nd half of a back to back.
Puck didn't bounce their way. Strong effort from the club. Power play needs some Z.
Merry Christmas to y’all and your families! 🎅🎄
Looked like the boys either spent the night with the dads or were thinking about it during the game
I turned off the game after 3-1, the ducks need to work on their passing. Great video btw!🦆🦆🦆🦆
2:40 Gudas getting zoomies and going through the entire lenght of the ice to setup a goal definitely wasn’t on my bingo card for this game lmao
Solid observations!
I just dont know who you scratch in that D pair. Gudas is probably the biggest one I would but hes our "Captain" and I dont see them doing that. We just traded for Trouba, and Dumo has been one of our better Dman. So sadly the young guys will get rotated alot. I understand why they named Gudas our captain but its starting to hurt us a bit. He looked so great last year, and this year he just forgets to play hockey and go bash brothers style and go for the body all the time. Im still liking how we are playing. Atleast this year is somewhat watchable. Also Leo hasnt looked good at all from coming back from injury a month or so ago. Idk whats up with him, but hes not the same Leo we all know and love. Hope this break is good for him. Thanks for the content this year. Living in the south makes getting Ducks content hard, and glad to see others share my passion for this team <3.
All I have to say is… F… 😉
But also, MERRY CHRISTMAS! <3
Killorn on the power play gives me an aneurysm, how can one be so bad at hockey and still get power play minutes
Respectfully, I don’t see the ducks doing any better than bottom 5 this year, maybe next year I can see them being bottom 10, then 15 the next year, but currently they don’t seem like a playoff team, or anything near it. Dostal is gonna be a heck of a goalie in a few years, if Z develops.. decently, and the young defenders develop like they already are they’re gonna be contending for a spot in the playoffs in a pretty stacked pacific
I should be spending time with my family on Christmas but instead I'm watching Kimmy videos and I don't even care
Dosty having to play 2 nights in a row
So after crushing it with the Star Wars clips. You absolutely hit it out of the park with the holiday clips. Oh, and just more evidence that Z is really needed on the PP. But hey, according to everyone outside of the Ducks, he's available for trade.
Not mentioned but Lacombe has definitely picked it up the last games and looked very solid last game especially in person. He is proving me wrong and I’m all for it
Dammit Killorn!!
