1. First🎉

2. Ho guardato questo video e mi sono reso conto che i miei piani per la serata sono cambiati. Lo rivedrò ancora e ancora😘

3. I’m not shocked they did nothing in the off season

4. If I had as much talent as the man in this video, I'd be famous by now✨

5. "Guy Herbert" lol

6. Doing a preview of a team where you don't even know who's on the team. The defense core for example is far better than anyone is making it out to be.

7. Explain how their defense isn't good though? If they just get better than subpar goaltending from Gibson and stay semi healthy, they should absolutely be competitive.

8. The video of say you know nothing about Pacific division and hockey without saying you know nothing about Pacific division and hockey arrived. If you really think that Sharks can finish 5th or 6th with two talented rookies on their roster vs. the team that has established core of young players finishing 8th, then you should only talk about Leafs from now on. By the way go read the scouting reports on Cutter Gauthier who is projected as the biggest favourite to win the Calder this year by most of the scouts. He is a much better prospect than Will Smith. That trade is an absolute masterpiece from Verbeek. I get that you need views, so you have to exaggerate, but be at least a little realistic.

9. I blame Seravalli and Pagnotta for stirring up Z trade rumours.

10. Zegras has literally never been in a trade rumor because the Ducks has any intention of trading him. The trade rumors has always started because the outsiders want to treat them like a minor league. This is a rebuilding team, and yet any time their young player start playing better it's "Troy Terry trade rumor" or "Zegras trade rumor". Is someone going to trade a top 10 picks for them? hell no. Then there is 0 value to trading any of them. If those guys bust, the Ducks end with another top 5 pick and try again. What's the point of trading those guys for "value"? to end up bottom 10 instead of bottom 5? The latest trade Zegras trade rumor started THE DAY the Ducks traded for Cutter Gauthier because a certain president of hockey writer, whom has always been wrong on anything ducks related, is upset he missed out on a scoop. Said hack of a writer also proudly proclaimed Gibson has played his last game with the Ducks, of which was rebuked the very same day by Gibson and that was a full season ago.

11. Jesse: "He's a brother"
    Steve: "…is he bla.."
    Jesse: "HE HAS A BROTHER"

12. Ok let’s take this duck hate down a notch.
    Zellweger, Mintyukov, Lacombe and I’ll even throw in Vaakanainen is a great young d-core to build around and surround with Veterans who won’t let them get pushed around like Gudas.

    Zegras is on the block because they have higher potential and younger centers in Carlsson and McTavish. His defensive liability of play has become expendable.

    I’ll put it into this perspective. The Avs in 2009 had a banger draft. Duchene, O’Reilly, and Barrie. But it took trading that core for pieces to compliment their younger core to push them over the top.

    Dallas Eakins isn’t the coach anymore. Expect an improvement on their defensive team game that makes them struggle. There is skill, but lack a team toughness. Gudas as captain will help fix that.

13. 70 points is a very achievable target for the Ducks this upcoming season. I'd take the over on that in a second. The team was decimated by injuries last season and they took an absurd number of minor penalties while having the 30th PK in the league. If (and sure these are big if's) the team sees better health, takes fewer penalties and has just a middle of the league PK converting 10 of their 1-goal losses into 1-goal wins won't be hard.

14. mason mctavish is going to be a beast. we are fighting for a wild card spot this year
