Ducks with one of the weakest strength of schedule for remainder of the season

There are no weak teams in my opinion. Also I noticed the ducks haven’t even played calgary or edmonton yet this year. Weird.
If there’s something this team, the coaching staff and the GM have taught me this year, it’s that they are infinitely capable of losing to anyone, anywhere at anytime.
It’s definetly not too late to turn things around but they need to get good consistency. Hopefully beating the stars has reminded them how good they can be and what got them that first big win streak.
Read somewhere that 8 of our next 10 games are within the pacific division. That’s basically the season right there – especially if our friends over in the Central division snag both wild card slots.
Regardless of schedule, we need carlsson back. Like not back on the ice, not back to 180 pt season pace or whatever it was.. just back to being a #1C.
Carlsson looking not himself and the ducks going cold at the same time isn’t a coincidence
That’s said, the fuk kinda team collapses when a 21 y/o isn’t top 3 in league scoring. Overpaid for vets to come in. GM issue man
Average 8th seed in NHL typically has 95 points, so we need to go 21-9-6 to get there from here.
Doable with our schedule but tough. Really sucks we went on this skid
Ya I was looking at our schedule and the rest of the schedule until Olympic break is tough but March – April is pretty ‘easy’. Definitely the easiest in the league, lot of games vs Calgary, Winnipeg, Nashville, Canucks
Yeah the ducks need to grab most of the points from the next 8 pacific games otherwise it will not happen unfortunately. They should be able to if they bring that forecheck style along side their top line showing up properly.
I really hope we grab that last playoff spot so we get pumped by Colorado 4 games straight.
