Ducks get competitive juices flowing at practice
Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf, shown in a game in December, shouts at assistant coach Trent Yawney during practice. (Nick Wass / Associated Press)Ducks Coach Randy Carlyle still has trouble speaking at times because of a case of strep throat that won’t go away. But the Ducks’ frustrations were still voiced loud and clear Saturday.
In the middle of what was a business-like practice, captain Ryan Getzlaf shouted at assistant coach Trent Yawney so vehemently it brought practice to a brief, awkward pause at the team’s bustling practice facility. The argument apparently was over differing viewpoints on the defense, of which Yawney is in charge.
