Your Anaheim Ducks gave us whiplash last night against the Oilers
Okay, so waking up this morning, it still feels a little… *ouch*. The Anaheim Ducks went on the road to Edmonton and, like, really tried to make a comeback, but ultimately lost to the Oilers 4-3 in regulation. If you fell asleep after that first period, I get it, because Edmonton scored two quick ones from J. Dickinson and K. Kapanen, and it felt a little grim. But then the Ducks, like, *woke up* in the second period, with Troy Terry getting two goals, including a power play goal, and Leo Carlsson adding another. It was honestly a wild swing of momentum, and for a bit there, it felt like maybe we could actually pull off the win.
* **Period 1:** Oilers score two quick goals from J. Dickinson and K. Kapanen. * **Period 2:** Troy Terry scores twice, Leo Carlsson adds one, bringing the Anaheim Ducks ahead 3-2. * **Period 3:** Edmonton's J. Dickinson ties it up, and K. Kapanen gets the game-winner with less than two minutes left.
This loss, even though it was a tight one, stings, especially since the Anaheim Ducks were on a bit of a winning streak heading into this. We're still sitting at 3rd in the Pacific with 92 points, which is great, but our last 10 games haven't been amazing, going 2-6-2. The team showed a lot of grit fighting back, and seeing Leo Carlsson and Troy Terry connect like that? Super promising! We needed those points, though, because every single game right now is like, super important for staying strong in the standings. Heading into our next few games, the mood here in Anaheim is still optimistic, but with a quiet, like, determined hum. You can practically hear the Disneyland fireworks from here, and it reminds you that anything is possible.
