Curse is finally gone. You can tell that it meant a lot to those Dirty Ducks as well.
Such an unlikeable team they are. It is funny how their fan base dislikes the Flames. Tkachuk is working his way slowly up the 'pest' ladder, but I doubt he ever surpasses the likes of Kesler, Bieksa and Perry. If there was ever an 'unlikeable' player award, those three would be the three finalists every year. Do the Ducks' fans not watch their own team or something? I guess not judging by all those empty seats.
This team is loaded with depth this year. Still have Jagr and Jankowski waiting, along with a few other prospects that should get some good looks this year. Loaded on defensive prospects, loaded in net...
Injuries are going to happen, so boy is it nice to have this extra couple layers of depth this season.
Smith has been a revelation this season. He is lights-out good. It takes a damn good opportunity to get the puck by him. I have to admit, I am still wincing at the first couple of shots every game, until I remember Smith is in net. It feels so comforting knowing he is back there.
