The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

He will show speed and toughness.  But then it's like he loses focus.  At times he will wow you.  Then at times, he looks very overmatched.

[Pujols4MVP]

I agree with most of those, but I think Maroon will be closer to 40-45 points, and I think Rakell will still be around 35. I think in a couple years Rakell will be a 55 points or so type of guy.

 

It would be awesome though if Getzlaf and Perry had massive years and one of them won the Art Ross. Watching Perry win the goal scoring title in 2011 was so fun. I think it's possible if they get the powerplay back up and running, because they're already two of the best even strength scorers in the league.

 

Yeah I bet on the twins both being about 78-85 point players this year.

[Pujols4MVP]

3 more goals and two more assists is a stretch?  I mean I am not saying he does it but it's definitely not a stretch, he played for a team that emphasized defense over offense.

 

This. He will be getting passed the puck more often & getting rebounds from shots by Kesler or Silfverberg.

He'll have to make his shots count because he knows he won't be playing in a front of a goalie who has a shutout every other game.

Hags does great on the PK, and his speed is to die for, but by the all star break you will be ready to choke him for not cashing in on more breakaways.

I like Hags and the Ducks, so I wish you all the luck, but be prepared,

What can I expect from Etem?

So he's more of a Cogliano than anything. Awesome!

 

 

You can expect speed from Etem. His 1 move - tip off the board and around the defender.

 

That's it. However, with the NYR style I can see him being a bit more useful than he was with our power and size. I think a change of scenery will do him good.

Again, that's what we all knew when the Ducks acquired him.  He's a high energy player, who controls possession, but doesn't have a scorer's touch.  Two goals and three assists on top of last season shouldn't even be in the realm of outlandish.

 

As for Etem, he is also a speed guy who scored a lot in juniors.  Unfortunately, that was his major skill in juniors as he could skate around defensemen and score.  He still tries to skate around defensemen (he'll skate along the boards trying to beat them wide), but the competition has caught up to him and then some.  I think 10 goals and 10-15 assists would be a good projection for him.  Honestly, I'd consider him a bigger Hagelin with a little less speed.

And he'll be playing with Kesler on the 2nd line, not in the bottom 6 like he did in New York, if I'm remembering correctly.

That, and he has a severe case of tunnel vision.

Maybe Etem should develop more into a guy who sits at the net scoring garbage goals & use his speed as an asset to chase pucks down & on dump ins.

Anaheim Ducks: Top 5 All-Time

 

Nothing too surprising on the list.  Althouh Perry and Getzlaf could move up to 3-4.  

[nate]

I think you could also put Guy Herbert in there and take Perry or Getzlaf off.

I think you should put Ron Tugnutt over Guy Hebert simply because of his name.

[HaloCory22]

We're 2 weeks from training camp. Thank the Gods!

[gotbeer]

Anyone going to the Reign vs Gulls game at the Pond?  Since it's general admin.  Would be cool if we all sat in the same area.

[HaloCory22]

Yeah I got my two tickets. I can't wait!

[Gavin]

Yeah I got my two tickets. I can't wait!

Six or seven of my friends are going to the game as well, Cory.  We should grab a drink before the game.  GB, same goes to you as well.

I'd put JSG there before Guy Hebert.

This. Jiggy had great Save% seasons, won a cup & a con smythe trophy.

[nate]

Yeah good call.

[UndertheHalo]

Jersey is a bit different from earlier concepts that we saw, but pretty much what we expected.  I do like the pattern coloring on the arms and the Anaheim text on the neck.  Definitely gonna pick one up.  What do you guys think ??

[gotbeer]

Too horizontal for my tastes.  Like the more angled look of the original jerseys.  

 

 

I do like the Anaheim on the collar.  

[TeemuTrout]

I'd change a few things (like have the hem and arm stripes match), but for the most part it's nice. Much nicer than the primary home uniforms, in fact.

I like this shirt.

I like that we can actually paint in orange in a Jersey other than the winter classic jersey.  I'd like the Ducks to have an "Orange Curtain" night or something to that effect once a month when we play a team like the Panther or Blue Jackets that will have few to no fans in the building where all the fans wear the orange third jersey, the orange WC jersey, or an orange Ducks shirt of some kind.  Would be pretty sweet.  

[HaloCory22]

I love the jersey. So stoked to have a true "paint it orange" jersey aside from my favorite jersey "The Stadium Series jersey"

The Ducks were in a Winter Classic?!

The new third definitely looks better. They need put out a black one now and make it their home jersey.
