Tough loss, Kev. I got bit, also, tonite.
Gotta give the B's some credit, too. Down 3-0 to the Kings and down 3-1 to the Ducks the 1st 30min of both games, only to make a furious comeback to not only tie the games, but to win both. That's 3 straight wins on the western road swing. I'm not sure many teams in the league can do that this early in the season.
Totally agree with you on Giggy. I've gone anti-Ducks all 4 games until tonite, for similar reasons. He was not in game shape, and looked bad in the pre-season. Came to camp late, and slightly over-weight. On top of that, he has to deal with the new goalie pad rules. I was telling Chenks in the season opener that he doesn't look as big as he did in the playoffs. Having said all that, it is extremely hard to sweep a B2B in LA and Ana, especially in that order, and if you add shutting out Dallas a few nite before that, that is quite an accomplishment. With the Quacks hungry for their 1st win of the season, and the reasons above, if the same situation arises again, I'm pretty sure I'd still back Anaheim every time. They had every reason to quit and have a let down game, but they fought hard tonite and beat the percentages, that's all. They deserved the 2 points way more than the Ducks deserve their 1 point.
