Coach Q and his staff are just getting started. The Ducks are still figuring out chemistry and haven’t even had Strome on the ice. They’re still learning the systems. Wait until they know the systems so well it’s instinctual. Wait until they know what their teammates are going to do and where they’ll be before it even happens. Wait until they quit hoping they can compete with the rest of the league and starting expecting to dominate.
The Ducks are just starting to take flight and the days of Anaheim being a team the league takes for granted are over.
The xGA and actual goals against are the issue right now and it feels less like a system issue and more likely a sloppy play issue.
Feels like it tends to be more guys giving up bad turnovers, making errant passes in transition, or a forward failing to back check on an opposing rush. All of which should be correctable things as the season progresses.
A lot of these are inflated because of the high scoring san jose game. Still no excuse to give up 6 goals to san jose but this is a small sample size only 4 games.
