"Everybody looked like they're competing for a job.” Quenneville pleased with effort, systems progress in return, but Ducks lose Harkins to injury, preseason opener to Kings, 3-1, in Ontario. Plus, full postgame media session from Quenneville, Nesterenko, Luneau.

Thanks again for the write-up, u/ZachCavSports! I kind of remember when Cronin was first hired and implemented his system, no one really knew what his system really entailed, Verbeek kept saying that the players were “drinking out of a fire hydrant” in the sense that they were taking in a lot of information in not a lot of time. The paragraph you had about the defensive zone coverage kinda delved a little deeper into how this D-Zone schema works and what happens when you get caught. Love that from the new coaching staff!
Dang that Harkins hit is so weird, wonder if he smashed his arm into the lens that was sticking out.
