The 2023/2024 Anaheim Ducks season was...disappointing based on my preseason prediction video. I recap the season as a whole, and what it means for the future of the Ducks in this video!

It's going to sound counter-intuitive but the players need to stop thinking about scoring and focus on controlling the play. stop going for flashy passes or shots and focus on bread and butter hockey. Focus on the fundamentals and once they start playing as a team the talent will find the net. They need to make defense the priority.

That's a great point. Maintaining the puck is key, and it starts with defense!

The Ducks had that one good run at the beginning of the season. I could have seen one or two more of these during the year if they weren't hurt all the time. You nailed it on the head with all those injuries. "IF" the Ducks can stay relatively healthy next year we will see the improvement we were expecting last year. Even more awesome young talent coming next as well year so that could help even if they are a bit raw. I won't expect the Ducks to make the playoffs next year (probably not) but I very much doubt they draft in the top five again unless they finally get lucky with the lottery. My prediction is they pick somewhere between 10 and 12 for the 2025 draft finally making the playoffs again the following season.

Yep, lots of ifs, but we are about to get lucky with those ifs I feel!

@Statikshade Ай бұрын

Verbeek says they're targeting a top 6 forward and a top 4 defenseman this summer. Lets hope that pans out well.

Bargain Bob could never, so its exciting!

@AnaheimRob Ай бұрын

Well, they have two first round picks and two 2nd round picks, so they have a legit shot at getting both is they do well after their first overall.

@ivantot506 Ай бұрын

top 4 veteran D and defensive forward (to replace Silf) and then depending our draft position top 6 F

Plus was last 5 games ish, we stopped taking stupid penalties. And suddenly got competitive. Last game we took 3 penalties, 2 marginal (even the one against Vegas) and the third was accidental. Next season looks bright.

Stop the penalties 👏

Hopefully next season will be better. I know there’s a lot of growing pain but at the end of the day it needs to get better.

Hey! Surprised to find out that Vegas had the most man-games lost to injuries! And My Flames...didn't. Anyway, the Flames can get first in the lottery! 5%!🤷‍♀ Have a week!

Vegas and their LTIR 🤣 We battle for the 1st 🤝

Can’t wait for all the young talent to shine. And captain being named this summer👀

Gudas or a young kid 👀

@jomh832 Ай бұрын

Gudas is not here for a long time it has to be someone with long term

@Simone-uu8ne Ай бұрын

Losing 25 games by one goal is a shame, but I believe some of those losses had to do with the number of injuries and the penalties. Once we address the latter (and are lucky with the former), we'll definitely get better point-wise too! Let's hope for a lucky draft this year too, and we might be ready to shine starting next season

Please new assistant coach AND new strength and condition staff. If we can bring in any of Cronin guys please do. Retool the PP1/PP2 units along with the PK unit. =)

2194 SOG for the Ducks vs 2666 SOG against the Ducks for the season - the difference is huge...

@duckmylife Ай бұрын

Defense got a lot better. The offense stayed about the same. So definite improvement!

@rayrangel3377 Ай бұрын

Great coverage this year! On point with your assessments. Who do you think the next captain will be? Sounds like Beeker is naming one this summer. MacT or Leo?

@duckmylife Ай бұрын

Thank you! I think Gudas, a video will be coming out later today on why.

To be fair no major injuries is nearly impossible. But mid-level injuries would have been a win.

@duckmylife Ай бұрын

Yea, that's true haha

@bigdogthegamer8958 Ай бұрын

This team has plenty to improve on but I’d say they did better than they did last season injuries was the thing that destroyed us this season can’t really blame the team for that it’s hockey injuries happen. I think they’ll make the Wild Card next season maybe but time will tell. Go Ducks!!!
