The Ducks seem to be talking about the need to get a fast start more often then not now these days. Several games of lazy first periods have put the Ducks in multiple holes this season.
If one more Duck talks about needing a fast start I may kick a puppy.
After a 1st period on Friday in which the Ducks looked weary and hungover from a Game 7 victory against the Edmonton Oilers, the team again looked like they had just barely awoken from a lazy Sunday afternoon nap. Nashville dominated play with little to no scoring chances in the early going.
