The Official 2017-2018 Anaheim Ducks Thread

So with the Avs loss the Ducks stay in the Pacific bracket, question is who would you rather face in the 1st round? For me SJ with home ice would be the ideal scenario. If no home ice then either SJ or LV with the edge going to SJ just because that would mean we had more points than the Kings and would have home ice if we face them next round.

Cogs/Manson/Silfverberg.  That was a nice tic tac toe play.

[gotbeer]

Geeze.  Rakell made that look easy.  

[UndertheHalo]

Nice start that’s for sure.  Hopefully this one is painless and they cruise from here.

For me I’d rather have Vegas.  They’re fast which the Ducks can struggle with but they’ve also slowed down quite a bit.  SJ plays such a tight defensive game.   Tons of veteran experience and I think Martin Jones is great.  Let the Kings deal with them. 

[UndertheHalo]

So much for cruising. 

[gotbeer]

Lot's of standing around there. 

[gotbeer]

penalties.  I think Stars 3, Ducks 0.  That's just weird.

[UndertheHalo]

Josh Manson is a great player.

It just seems like yesterday that the talk on here was his contract wasn't worth it, and he sucked.

Never once heard that from me.

From what I saw when the Ducks played them, it looked like their defense was stout, suffocating, better GAA than the Sharks. They also have Fleury who has had a bunch of postseason success.

It’s pick your poison for sure.  Honestly I don’t really care. They’re probably about the same.  But since you’re asking us to pick, like I said I’ll take the Knights.  No experience. Weaker goalie.  Those are the reasons why for me.  Anything other then Nashville or Winnipeg.  Mission accomplished. 

[UndertheHalo]

Dallas has made a game of it.  Always seems to happen in these types of games.  3 goal lead ! Most dangerous lead in hockey. 

[UndertheHalo]

Hopefully that’s the dagger.  Way to go Cogs.

Where the hell has this skill come from with Cogs lately?

After Beauch had his best game of the season against Colorado, he was pretty bad in this game.  Lindholm was all over the place too.

Hopefully Lindholm stops being a bitch gets his shit together.  With Fowler out the Ducks aren’t doing shit in the post season if he keeps this inconsistent garbage up.

Just makes you appreciate Fowler even more.  

So I wonder who has the tiebreaker if the Kings and Sharks tie?

There's still a chance of meeting Winnipeg, no? 

1. Kings win

2. Sharks win

3. Ducks lose

Or am I missing something?

How? They would be the 1st WC.

[Lou]

btw, in my scenario, all games are won in regulation time.

The two division winners play the wild card teams.  NSH would play WC2, Vegas would play WC1.  Jets would play the Wild and Kings would play the Sharks.

Damn, I don't know why I was thinking Winnipeg was a division winner.
