Anaheim held a team meeting according to The OC Register’s Elliott Teaford Wednesday morning before practice. Actually, during practice, as the Ducks didn’t take the ice until almost an hour after they were scheduled to start working.
Given the previous night’s heartbreaking loss against the Flyers just seconds after tying the game late leading to Anaheim’s 6th loss in a row, the meeting seemed logical for a team looking to snap out of one of its worst droughts in years.
It was time to see if the meeting paid off.
Period 1
With the return of Patrick Eaves and his magnificent, life-giving beard and positive attitude, the Ducks opened the game with some of the most energy they had played with all season.
