Okay so the Ducks may not have deserved to win that one, but they most certainly did in a David vs Goliath-esque encounter to get the season started on the right foot.
John Gibson set the scene and laid down the gauntlet for any goaltenders wishing to challenge him for the Vezina - or he at least did his darnedest on National Television (TM) to garner some remote interest from pundits who pay little to no attention to games played in small markets out west. #EastCoastBias
There is no debating he was the difference, turning away 31 shots and facing down Evander Kane on a clear cut breakaway in a tied game proving to be the turning point for his team-mates.
