The Anaheim Ducks drop another winnable game to the Vancouver Canucks after a brutal embellishment call on Mason McTavish in a tied 3–3 third period — embellishment my butt. Despite goals from Jackson LaCombe, Leo Carlsson, Mason McTavish, and Cutter Gauthier, plus multiple posts from Troy Terry, the Ducks couldn’t overcome early defensive issues and lose 5–4. Anaheim’s power play went 1-for-6 and the penalty kill 1-for-3, continuing a rough special teams stretch. This marks the 15th time in 23 games the Ducks have given up the first goal, falling to 6-8-1 when trailing and a perfect 8-0-0 when scoring first. Full breakdown of the net-front coverage problems, the LaCombe-to-Beckett Sennecke-to-McTavish equalizer, the controversial calls, and what’s next with Petr Mrázek, Lukas Dostal’s injury, and Ville Husso joining the roster. #nhl #hockey #vancouvercanucks #anaheimducks

It's going to be an interesting month without Dosty – here's to hoping we can go back to winning ways by tightening up the defence and not hitting so many posts!
Special teams need serious work. Defensemen walking down center ice then doing complete stop and drop pass to forward on PP is not working. Need better entries and OMG we need someone who can win a friggin faceoff. Maybe some turkey will help. Happy Thanksgiving.
So whats going on with dostal?
McTavish was undoubtedly cross-checked but if he "milked" it any more he could start his own dairy line! The Ducks losing such a tight & entertaining game only for the fans to be disappointed really does show how far good coaching & more maturity in the line-up has brought the team in the 1st quarter of this season? These Ducks are must watch!
Another NHL player that gets embellishment calls when he's usually already falling down, is Mason Marchment. He has worked on his skating a ton but at times, he still looks like a "drunken baby giraffe" It's really not fair. The NHL refs should already know him well enough.
