There was no shortage of drama as the Anaheim Ducks faced the Philadelphia Flyers, and this one spiraled fast. Cutter Gauthier opened the scoring with his 20th goal of the season on the power play after a big hit and instigator penalty, but the Flyers responded with four straight goals — including two vintage one-timers from former Duck Trevor Zegras, who clearly had this game circled. Zegras’ phone-call celebration aimed at Pat Verbeek said it all, as Philadelphia pulled away in a physical, chaotic matchup. Despite the loss, Anaheim’s special teams were one of the few bright spots, killing seven of eight penalties and getting power-play goals from Gauthier and Alex Killorn. The game completely lost control with trash hits, fights, scrums, and questionable officiating, as the Ducks fell 5–2, dropped out of a playoff spot, and dealt with injury news and off-ice drama. The Ducks continue their East Coast road trip Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. #nhl #hockey #anaheimducks #philadelphiaflyers #trevorzegras #cuttergauthier

Remember in the 2018-19 season when we lost like 13 games in a row
This team is slowly turning into trash. Embarrassing. This team's effort is a joke. Bring Husso back, Dostal is playing like crap
I missed Z during our winning run. Now I miss Z because we're the typical Ducks we all know & love.
flyer fans are such babies. their horrible reputation around the league is definitely earned.
Three words: neutral zone turnovers. A plague on the Ducks.
Fuck Verbeek loser trading Zegras for nothing
Flyers fan just subbed w coverage
I was at that game
It was like being at a playoff game
That game was a lot of fun for flyers fans. Reminds me of how the flyers penguins rivalry used to be
I dont mind Zegras scoring (twice), I dont mind the boo's from the crowd, I dont mind the physicality on the ice and I dont mind the loss, even though its 7 in a row now.
What I do mind is the way we lose, the cheap shots instead of commiting to actually trying to get a big hit. I do also mind the two-tiered refeereing (most obvious the no-call on Zellweger, and interference call on Leo), but then yet again it's the Ducks. I also don't like that nesty was waived but if it's the start of a trade, so be it. Next meeting between these clubs will be interesting, especially if Deslauriers is back as well.
Yeah, the Zegras and Gibby trade looks really good now. Too bad it's not looking good for us.
Refs def let it happen. Probably woulda been a lot more tame if Hathaway got called on the early charge. Tough watching a game where both teams are playing dirty.
Philly fans oughta own up to their team playing dirty too.
Nesterenko was then reassigned to the Ducks. What in the world is going on inside this org right now. From the outside it looks like a complete shit show.
I didn't catch the Heated Rivalry reference in the video
It hurts when we’re losing by seven losing streak, but what I’m happy about is Zegras.
Was great to hear your take on the game from the Ducks perspective and it was good to hear you still have some love to give to Z. As you can imagine, there was a lot of hype on the Flyer's end, and for all of its 'trash', the game didn't disappoint Philly fans. This orange-on-orange rivalry has now become kind of a thing and I'm sure that most of us can't wait for the re-match in March… Don't have any ill-will towards Cutter personally and totally get that he didn't want to play under Torts, but the 'hate' directed at him by Philly fans does give the games some spice. Hope the Ducks can get back on track- they were doing so well early on. Thanks for your report! 🧡 🧡
Can you imagine 7 game cup finals between these 2 with the bad blood they have.
Even you Duck fans have see what a liability Gudas is…
For hits and slashes to the head, a 10-game suspension in 2017, a 6-game BAN in 2016, and a 3-game suspension in 2015.
All of that was within the 5 years he was with the flyers. Dude slashes people to head every season and has only gotten suspended for it once. How on EARTH is him throwing TWO fully cocked elbows at Cates not a bigger deal to anyone? Elbow pads are as hard as a helmet, dude went for a kidney shot first (thinnest padding on the torso and players obviously know that) than dives with an even harder elbow and goes for the BACK OF HIS HEAD.
No hate to the ducks or its fans, but incident needs to be investigated and bro needs to retire asap…
This is getting rough
I love this mini rivalry between the Flyers and Ducks. Last nights game was great. 😂
I love how organically heated the Flyers Ducks rivalry is getting
Sad to see the ducks fall apart like this.. hopeful the trades or whatever is coming brings life to them again. Was hoping for a revitalized rivalry.. sending hate(love) from LA. Go Kings Go!
Its not just trash garbage team 😂 imagine calling out by former player 😂
The Philadelphia Divers
Pray for Carlsson next game against the Flyers.
We're a joke. Verbeek needs to go and a good chunk of the team too
I think DLo was trying to suit up and sneak in the game somehow
You must be on drugs that Johnston hit was so dirty
The longest loss streak last year was 4 games I think. I’m honestly starting to wonder if this team is a fraud. Yeah because it’s 7 in row but also the way we lose and the penalties are just…it’s the only thing that’s 90% controllable and they just choose to do it. Q should bench the top 4 offenders besides Johnston and call some kids up, send a message. It’s unsustainable when you have damn near the worst pk in the league and 4th most penalties. If they hit one more crossbar I’m going to punch something.
Pure trash
Did anyone watching the game notice that the 3 big hits delivered by flyers were absolutely textbook clean hits? No penalties because they were textbook?
Ducks tried to "goon it up" and it backfired, massively! 😂
The Zellweger hit was clean as hell
And no way you’re trying to pass that Johnston hit as clean, that was a dirty hit by a dirty guy on a kid trying to go to the bench for a line change, it was absolutely purposeful and thrown with intent to injure. Looks like someone’s team is just a bunch of sore losers.
