Man. I met brother Kyle in person and forgot my manners. Definitely didn't expect that. He didn't trip out on me for yelling his name and asking for a pic like a little kid. Real cool guy! GOOOO DUCKS!
Why so many days since last upload,I was waiting 🙁
Let’s Go!!! 🍻🍻🍻

Skating, physique and hands aside, Carlsson's greatest strength lies in his master hockey mind. The other teams tries to track him down on the ice but he's simply not there and the next moment he's set himself up unmarked infront of goal. Truly remarkable to watch. Tell tale of a great player rather than a good player.
Slow down homer-hes a tremendous young player,& the Ducks have a super bright future. I picked you to make the playoffs in the preseason-when most people weren't. I had you 3rd in the Pacific & I still think that's about where you'll end up.But it's a process-you almost never see young teams with very little playoff experience just explode on the scene,& win the Cup or even get to a Finals immediately. They almost always have to lose in the playoffs to learn how to win in the playoffs. Might win a round the 1st yr- but rarely get to conference final even.You have a few vets with playoff experience which helps-but most your kids have never played a playoff game & that does matter.
And as great as Karlson is-& he probably is a future Hart winner-I think he's still 12 points behind McKinnon in scoring,& like 3 goals-so slow the f down. I haven't looked at the stats but I think even Makar A DEFENSEMAN-has as many points as him. And btw-weve lost 1 out of 17 in regulation. That's not to dis Karlson or your team. I've said I expect the Ducks to be a legit Cup contender by next yr,& probably win 1 in next few yrs,& some people laughed at me last yr when I said that-they aren't laughing now. But just like my Broncos-I don't care if we finish 15-2 (which we won't)-I still think we are a year away,& will lose early in the playoffs-same with you. Then next yr both teams will be legit title contenders but both still need more playoff experience 1st.
I work at Ball arena,' & Anaheim played a pretty damn good game last night. But AVS did show who's still odds on favorites in the West. Our core has been through so many playoff runs,& already knows how to win a Cup-Ducks just don't yet. You guys have a great future,& are already an incredibly talented team with a super high ceiling. But slow down on the Hart nonsense,& "best defensive pairing" crap. It's still early but Makar,& Towes will be Canadas top pairing at the Olympics. And if the season ended today-Mckinnon would easily win his 2nd Hart,& Makar his 3rd Norris,& the vote wouldn't even be close-granted that could change.
I’m not a Ducks fan, farthest thing from it as an Oiler fan, not sure why this came across my feed.But the Ducks look for real and I hope they can keep it up for a full season. Good luck Ducks fans!
Heading to Little Caesar’s Arena tomorrow night. Start a new win streak!
