I know we’re only 10 games into the season here, but to say I have impressed by the Anaheim Ducks would be an understatement! They finished last season as the NHL’s worst team. Yet this season, lead by new head coach Greg Cronin, who clearly has some fire in him after getting ejected from the recent Penguins game, the Ducks are fresh off sweeping a 4 game road trip for the first time in 10 years beating out the Jackets, Bruins the Flyers and ripping the heart of my Penguins with a shorthanded winner from McTavish with just 12 seconds to go. After their game last night against the Arizona Coyotes the Ducks have now won 5 in a row! How is this happening? I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Who has impressed you more this season – the Arizona Coyotes or the Anaheim Ducks?
The Pirates were 12 games over .500 before Memorial Day.
If the Ducks are still playing like this in February, I'll start to buy in.
"Just when you think they’re about to break apart, Ducks Fly Together.”
This is just the beginning. 😄
I don't think it's a controversial statement to say that even with their recent play, the Ducks are not a serious playoff contender this year. That being said, anyone saying they aren't the real deal simply hasn't been watching their games. Arguably their worst games of the season have happened during this win streak, and even then they've looked extremely dominant through a good % of play.
If they can improve their discipline and take fewer penalties (they've been awful with PIM this year), they'll be monsters by next year.
The ducks
Deciding i wanted to be more of a hockey fan a few years ago i chose Anaheim as my team soley because i liked the mighty ducks movies as a kid. I dont mind rooting for a losing team but last year was pretty sad. Glad to see the new talent is paying off and excited to see how this new team developes
I know people have to make content, but I'm so sick of videos that are about how good teams are performing 10 GAMES into the season. Give me a break.
Quack attack. The next game will be a big indicator
This was a great game terry killed it
Its great to see as a netural fan, bright future ahead.Terry, McTavish, Mityukov and Carlsson leading the way.
Minty will be a Star Player in years to come.
I'm just having fun watching the Ducks grow as a team. The young players are showing they belong in the NHL and if they make the playoffs, bonus! If not it won't be long. On top of all that Z hasn't even started scoring like he will and then there is Killorn and Drysdale who are injured. When they get back the team will be even better. Just a lot of fun with no real expectations right now. I do like what Arizona has been doing. They have some good young talent as well.
Duckguin fan here, That was a GREAT game!

And Killorn has yet to come back from injury as well
They’ve got pieces, people wondering why the gm squeezed Zegras etc. because they’re gonna have to pay all these guys. they’ve still got someone like Zellweger coming too.
Gibson has been my favourite goalie since I've started watching hockey. If Dostal is under his wing, I think he'll do great
I don't think it's sustainable. I mean what's Frank V's career high? 22 and he's already got 9? With two hat tricks? I just don't think it's likely going to maintain. It's certainly fun to watch and I'm not suggesting people not enjoy it. But I don't think there being much a shot that this continues long term.
How is Vatrano among the league leaders for goals? 😂
