Olen Zellweger stickhandling on the ice nearly two hours before puck drop, as is typical from 51 #FlyTogether

Trouba recognizes Montreal is changing, so he gets his legs pumping through the neutral zone in the final minute of the game to gain the offensive zone and singlehandedly sustain pressure #FlyTogether

Trouba angling a forechecker off a puck, keeping his feet moving, and igniting an easy exit #FlyTogether

Nothing too spectacular here, but doing little things right, like displaying a quality gap and an active stick to break up a 1v1 rush attack #FlyTogether

120

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Trouba, again, timing his activation to pinch and keep a play alive in the offensive zone. He could have laid a big "Trouba Train" hit here, but recognizes the priority of extending zone time #FlyTogether

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Trouba reads his backchecking help and seals the strong side wall, killing a play before it starts #FlyTogether

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

🧵Some key plays from Jacob Trouba's Ducks debut: These switches, weaves, and picks are key to breaking down man coverage like the Habs ran here. Trouba doesn't hesitate to activate in hopes of creating lanes for puck carriers #FlyTogether

Sennecke undresses Dickinson before going bar-south + shelf-south as his WJC snub response train chugs along #FlyTogether

Leo Carlsson spotted on the ice in a red jersey today at Ducks morning skate #FlyTogether

As F3, Strome chooses to pressure in the corner instead of track back and gets beat up ice by the opposing F3 Gibson takes a calculated risk to eliminate the shooting angle, not anticipating the pass back across the grain connecting #FlyTogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Fantastic regroup and entry sequence between Leason, Colangelo, and McTavish to establish positions against a tired PK in the dying seconds of a power play to set up the screened (McTavish) point shot from LaCombe #FlyTogether

060

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Helleson is late to judge and gets caught in no-man’s land with no high F3 support Strome gets beat up ice by an activated, trailing Theodore, who pots a rebound after a tremendous save from Gibson on a 2v1 #FlyTogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Replay of the play that sent Zegras to the locker room. Incidental contact and an awkward recovery Awful break for a player who has made leaps defensively this season and was starting to really feel it offensively of late #FlyTogether

082

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Zegras gets caught on the outside of Olofsson when the pass goes up high and overcompensates by shoving Olofsson (who gets the initial tip on the point shot) into Fowler, allowing Karlsson to find that loose puck #FlyTogether

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Canada’s World Junior selection camp roster Beckett Sennecke will be the first 3rd overall pick (not playing in the NHL) since 1997 to not make his country’s subsequent WJC roster #FlyTogether

092

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Drew Helleson has been dialed in all night on both sides of the puck He angles Tkachuk perfectly, he doesn't get outmuscled or give up any ground #FlyTogether

0100

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Dumoulin tries to join the rush, but a turnover high in the o zone leads to 4 flat-footed Ducks. The 5th one (Helleson) was caught trying to change and by the time he recovered, Tkachuk was gone #FlyTogether

040

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

This was LaCombe's goal from start to finish. Great breakout sequence from him and Terry through the neutral zone. Both players keep their feet moving downhill after entry and drive to the crease #FlyTogether

050

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

I love this kind of player movement on the power play. By driving to the net after the dish to the corner, Terry forces the diamond to collapse Vatrano recognizes and drifts to soft space above from the bumper to create a passing lane #FlyTogether

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Killorn turns a puck over trying to feed it to the front Gudas misses a step up in neutral, then gets beat to the crease and outmuscled in front by Laferriere #FlyTogether

020

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Zegras does a nice job of buying time after the outlet, but misfires on a pass to McTavish in the neutral Laferriere and Turcotte catch all five Ducks on their heels with a 2v1 #FlyTogether

040

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Helleson shows some poise along the blue to walk and wait for a lane to open Strome beats Danault to the front, gets a tip, and pots the rebound #FlyTogether

060

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Excellent sequence from Mintyukov to close out the period He evades the F1, sparks a rush with an outlet pass, finds soft ice before missing the net wide, and breaks up the ensuing 4v2 rush defensively. Nearly everything that makes him special in rapid succession #FlyTogether

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Ducks on the ice for today’s optional morning skate ahead of their game against the Kraken: McTavish, Gauthier, Colangelo, Helleson, Mintyukov, Killorn, Fowler, Zellweger, Carlsson, and Zegras #FlyTogether

091

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Johnston gets a bit distracted jawing with Lafferty and doesn’t cover for an activated Dumoulin. An ensuing disrupted slot pass leads to a breakaway for Zucker, who enacts a little revenge for a big hit he received earlier in the game #Flytogether

040

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Lundestrom fails to establish position and box out Krebs in front, who gets a screen in front of Gibson and pots home a puck that squeaked through the Anaheim netminder #Flytogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Nice give and go entry between Zellweger and Colangelo in the dying seconds of a man advantage. Lundestrom able to get a tip through a layered screen on Johnston’s perimeter shot #FlyTogether

040

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Killorn drives the center lane and parks it in front of the net. The Sabres had a good backchecking effort, but gave Zegras too much space to find a seam. Helleson uses a layered screen to beat Luukkonen #FlyTogether

070

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Same personnel and lines at today’s morning skate #Flytogether

090

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

“Power play quarterback” is an overused term to describe any defenseman at the top of an umbrella. However, tonight Olen Zellweger is dictating play and creating chances enough to truly earn that title. Terrific screen from Carlsson and shot from Terry #FlyTogether

080

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Great entry from Zellweger to ignite a give-and-go with Killorn and draw the weak side D before finding Zegras in soft ice off the rush #Flytogether

060

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Mintyukov gets caught trying to do too much at the offensive blue, two of Detroits quickest forwards (Raymond and DeBrincat) pounce and make him pay #Flytogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Dumoulin loses a race to a loose puck and can’t eat it in the corner when the Ducks are down two men. LaCombe is late to support and Berggren is left alone on the doorstep #Flytogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Killorn was drawn to Compher at the bumper, who made a nice little touch pass to Kasper coming off the bench. Kasper didn’t have much room, but drilled this one. Just a great shot and a memorable 1st NHL goal #Flytogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

Looks like Zellweger toed this one and hit Lyon with the old changeup from the point. Puck luck actually went the Ducks way on this one #Flytogether

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Zegras, Gauthier, Carlsson, Lundestrom, Zellweger, Mintyukov, and Helleson are the Ducks players on the ice for today’s optional morning skate Gibson took shots for a few minutes before heading off (projected starter) while Dostal stayed on for reps #Flytogether

090

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Ducks’ forward lines at practice remain unchanged from last night’s game Drew Helleson will go through an NHL practice for the first time this season Fabbri, Fowler, McTavish, and Vaakanainen are not on the ice #FlyTogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Terrific late individual effort from Leason to transport the puck and catch Hanifin on a poor angle on that dangle before putting it on a tee for Vatrano to bury #FlyTogether

031

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Uncharacteristic turnover from Lundestrom in a dangerous spot at the end of a long shift. Wonder if there was some sort of miscommunication or if it was just a poor decision #FlyTogether

010

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

The latest example of teams exploiting the Ducks at the bottom of the diamond on the PK, where they can outnumber the low defenseman and win battles for rebounds if the structure doesn’t collapse #FlyTogether

242

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Take a look at Terry absorbing two VGK forecheckers before exploding out from behind the net, beating all three opposing forwards up the ice, and finding Vatrano with a nice slip pass on the rush #Flytogether

030

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Harkins abandons his assignment in an attempt to pressure Theodore on the far post. Roy gets the inside track and Theodore finds him from the near post #Flytogether

041

Patrick Present @patrickcpresent.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Lesson does a great job of tipping an outlet deep to a spot he can pressure the VGK defender. McGinn supports as F2, winning the puck back to Leason, who finds Mintyukov smartly creeping in from the point. McGinn finds a rebound and pots it #Flytogether

Puck is down for tonight’s Ducks v Knights game #Flytogether
