Well Shit, with 6 fights in the last 2 games and a total of 54 penalty minutes I think it’s time for the ducks to get off their fancy pants high horse and get back to what made them the best team in the league a long 4 years ago, The Gritty Grime.
Yeah we all know the ducks can be fancy, the ducks can make pretty plays, but what they aren’t doing is letting the opportunity’s come naturally. As everyone has seen over the most recent 4-1-1 is that everything seems forced. The plays look forced, the motivation seems forced, and frustration is starting to build. It’s about time the ducks get back into the swing of things and start to be the agitators not the agitated.
Nashville and Columbus did a number on the Ducks moral. They deflated the ducks early in the game and it was all down hill from there. Does anyone remember when the ducks used to be the most hated team in the league for doing the exact same thing to their opponents? You guessed it, it was sometime ohhhh around 2007…..
So with 3 games before the next meeting with Nashville, I think its time to go back to what was originally ”Good Ol Ducks Hockey” and lets get inside the Caps heads tonight. They need to be gritty these next few games and get into the swing of things because a week from tomorrow has quite a bit of pride on the line and you know its not going to be a walk in the park.
Let’s Go Ducks!
