Ovechkin is the Wilt Chamberlain/Lebron of the NHL. Has all the records, won’t see another, but in Ovis case seems like he would have more than 1 ring with all that was just presented. Just like wilt or in lebrons case he lost a lot

On the note for Vasy, apparently when he was growing up, they didn't have a catching right glove, hence why he catches with the left.

As a right catch goalie I can say I’ve caught many low glove saves 😅

One thing ive been impressed by the ducks coaching staff is actually Cutter Gauthier. Based on watching him in college, i thought he was gonna be a pure offense, no effort on defense type of player. But by golly the kid is chasing, hitting, forechecking, backchecking and really putting in the effort and drive! Honestly very happy about that.

He is proud member of Putin team. So good player, but politically ugly person.

YES...THEY HAVE LOST CREATIVITY

Honestly, the gold plan from the PWHL makes a lot of sense. If a team tanks hard early, it would be near impossible to get a roster good enough to win enough games later in the season. Other teams would be hesitant to trade good players to that team during the season too. Im excited to see how that looks in a few years.

Great video. It’s so nice to see someone’s take that actually has watched our games. The amount of bad takes from reporters and many places online make me think I’m watching something other than my Ducks. Lol

Crosby and Ovechkin are gonna hand the torch to MacKinnon and McDavid.

Hockey players run these times with all of their equipment on which weights about 8kg. It is like running with a heavy backpack.

He’s only won one Stanley Cup, at the end of the day, it’s about championships.

Left-handed people are forced to be more adaptable in life. Every day using their non-dominant hand and developing the mind-muscle connection. Great video!

Top video, thanks !

I wonder if Gary Bettman watched this video...hmmmmm

Playing power hockey and scoring, we definitely won't see it anytime soon. Hockey has changed.

Love your ducks content. I think they ride out Cronin this year and the players will determine if he's back or not with exit interviews. I kind of disagree on the man to man d vs zone. This team was horrible in the zone under eakins. The problem with the man to man is their gap control. They are giving them too much space and watching the Puck thus making them chase players. They have been most successful in this d when they would give the opposing team no space to breath and swarming. Oddly this comes out almost always late in the game when they are trying to get that goal back and are aggressive. But outside of the st loius and Philly game, they have been fun to watch finally.

I did a project on this back on 2012 for my high school stats class. I won't tell you it was done well, but my findings were that home field advantage no longer existed at least in the playoffs.

Undisputed best LW to play the game.

last 3 championships have had it

love these videos man keep it up! ducks market needs more ANA creators

Funny coming from Ducksgamedaybreakdown where he would overreact to everygame

When they are ready to make the playoffs they will need a better coach. But for now Cronin is fine. He lets the kids play and that is pretty much all that matters right now.

It’s insane how fast he’s been at his height and weight

accidentally found it in recommendations. great work buddy! thank you

Ovi is the closest (almost) any of us will come to seeing what Gordie Howe must have been like in his prime. Mr Hockey is the only real comparable in the game's history to Ovechkin as an overall player.

I played beer league with a guy in the early 2000's that would switch as he was skating. was pretty good both directions.

Dostal is a really good goalie on a team that doesn’t help him out every night. And yes save percentage and GAA are stats that do not represent the quality of play for a goaltender

In NHL it doesn’t matter cause there’s no atmosphere. Everybody sitting on their asses occasionally shouting ”lets go ”any team”.

Stop playing mediocre vets at the expense of our young stars! This coach and GM want to finish .500. Is that what’s important? And trade Gibson - we can finish last with him or without him.

I think the biggest issue with reverse hits is, often they happen to a person not actually going in for a big body check, and more often a poke check. So they are doubly unprepared and end up hurt. I also see alot of shoulders and elbows hitting faces in these replays.

Wanted to leave a comment as a lifelong caps fan, this is one of the greatest Ovechkin videos I've ever seen. It's hard to put into words what he has meant to me and the city as a whole. He's changed things forever, not just the team but the league itself. There is no comparable for the Great Eight until we see someone else even close to him come along, He's simply superhuman in nature. Prime Ovechkin highlights during his 06-09 seasons show how Alien he is, He was and still is, in the words of Joe Beninati, Simply Sensational.

Ov....aka.the Great 8

From watching MacT, Leo an Cutter, one would assume that Senneke is 3 yrs away from being an effective NHLer with this development group. The offense is non existent, last in the league in most offense categories. I don't see how they continue with this coach after this season.

I don't have any answer but the Ducks need to stop with the weak passes, the no-look passes. They need to throw more pucks at the net while other players are crashing the net so they can get to rebounds instead of trying to feather a pass in front of the opposing crease. They need their defensemen to stay along the boards AT the blue line to hold pucks in the zone. Too many times pucks are wrapped around the boards and nobody is home.

Great breakdown! I think we miss the playoffs again this year but i think we’ll be in a better spot next year. Dumo will probably be moved at the deadline and it sucks cause he’s a good player. But it’s gonna be good for LaCombe, Minty, Helleson, and Zelly to be out there every game along with Trouba and Gudas. I think the best time to fire Cronin would be this offseason and i think we should go after Marner and bring Sennecke up

NEVER SAY NEVER !

Ovechkin's career started at the tial end of the dead puck era. COmpared to Gretzky who played 10 years into it.

yes of course, Matthews is producing at a higher pace then Ovechkin and I hate the Leafs

It would be great to hear a more in depth discussion of the Ducks’ talent development process. It seems like they really struggle in this department.

I do think it is 100% a bit easier to spot gaps if you dont have white pads, so i think there's some merit too it. But i dont think it's enough to where teams see it as a must use

Fire Cronin

Watching this post flyers catastrophe

Again great well thought out content. I wish more hockey folks knew of this channel. Quality over quantity. 👌 Of the Ducks, my thoughts whatever it's worth... I think maybe not in the future but right now they've gotten experience and leadership to their blueline and feels it kinda has started slowly showing. It's still a young bunch but couple physical hardnose guys on the blueline (and in the locker room) might be working some magic in terms of team's balance.

FANTASTIC! I’m a beer league pro who started later in his mid 20s now in mid 40s. I’m a righty who shoots left. All my peers’s shot was better than mine as we progressed, but my stick handling, deking, and poke checking was better. 20 years later and I’ve finally figured out my shot lol. My theory about this topic of left and right and dominant side… Righty shooting right understand weight distribution off the bat, and will shoot more with their bottom hand. It’s stronger, and can punch with power and accuracy. Right shooting left, like Matthews, is he’s leading with his top dominant hand, via toe drag, creates a bow and shoots square to the puck (hips forward). Pulling it tight while he loads the stick with the toe allows him to whip the puck off his toe and and near his body for MEGA TORQUE. TLDR right shooting : mechanics rewards bottom hand strength and precision. Left shooting: Load via toe (right wrist roll) pull and whip (right hand), roll wrist when shooting (right wrist). Left arm just has to punch.

Even Strength - A horrible +57 in 1452 games. For context give me Guy Carbonneau +186 and his 3 Cup rings and 3 Selke awards in big clutch games anyday.

2,56 LOL!!!😂😂😂

Utah fan here. What's a home ice advantage? 😂

Great job mate. 👏👏👏Big hug from Russia.

Jay-Mees Bett-er!!

FIRE CRONIN!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
