The Anaheim Ducks don’t make sense…and that’s OKAY!
The Anaheim Ducks have been one of the biggest surprises of the NHL season, sitting near the top of the Pacific Division and playing their most exciting hockey in years. In this video, I break down why the Ducks took such a massive step forward under Joel Quenneville — from elite 5-on-5 offense and increased freedom for young players like Leo Carlsson, Cutter Gauthier, Beckett Sennecke, Olen Zellweger, and Pavel Mintyukov, to major changes in system play. I also dive into the Ducks’ inconsistent power play and penalty kill, the defensive growing pains, and how teams have started to adjust. Plus, a full goalie breakdown on Lukas Dostal, Petr Mrazek, and Ville Husso — including what Anaheim should do next. Are the Ducks legit playoff contenders, or just outscoring their problems? Let’s talk Ducks hockey 🦆🏒 #hockey #anaheimducks #nhl #icehockey

If we could just figure out the power play we would be crushing it lol but husso was a huge life saver, he is doing great and glad to have dostal back. loving the season still. LETS GOOOO DUCKS
Hmm still to much up and down from the Ducks for me.
The lack of stability is not a good thing if you wanna see your self as a playoff team.
They definitely need to clean up the defensive zone mistakes, but this year is so much more fun that last year.
OTL Points are BS
GO DUCKS
Coach Q Already better then Cronin
You need to get a press badge and start doing this professionally. It would be cool to see you questioning the coach and players. Excellent take on this team!
I just don’t understand not switching up the power play personnel. The first unit isn’t working at the moment and the second unit seems more eager to shoot and not overpass. Also not putting Cutter in his sweet spot on the second unit is CRIMINAL.
Unfortunately this will follow Q forever but he served his time away and true to improve himself. You can’t forget. If you gotta move forward.
This is too funny. I was just having a conversation with my Australian friend who I introduced to hockey and the Ducks, about how we can’t figure this team out. Glad we aren’t the only ones who are scratching their heads.
This channel is great!! Love catching up from 🏴 !!
Go ducks!!!
Zelly absolutely deserves a prolonged look at the PP1 QB spot.
Dudes got all the attributes to excel there.
Last line of defense and only line of defense, oh my goodness is that ever so true.
Ducks powerplay looked great at the beginning of the season. They were moving the puck and making plays. It now looks like last year.
