THIRTEEN OUT OF FOURTEEN BABY!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!

Look, I know this is the Ducks forum and I'm probably not welcome here, but I gotta say something - this is what happens when you play the Sabres when they're HOT. Jack Quinn with the two-goal game, Tage doing Tage things, and UPL standing on his head with 31 saves. You love to see it!

Sorry about your losing streak though, genuinely. Eight straight is rough and I know that pain all too well as a Sabres fan - we've had our share of basement dwelling seasons. The Ducks started so strong at 19-10-1 and now this? That's brutal. Hockey can be absolutely cruel sometimes.

But hey, at least you got to witness the Sabres FINALLY playing like the team we all knew they could be! After that 11-14-4 start I was ready to throw my TV out the window (again), but this turnaround has been incredible.

What's going on with Anaheim anyway? Injuries? Goaltending? Just ran out of gas? That's a pretty dramatic fall from where you guys were sitting in early December. Genuinely curious because that kind of collapse doesn't usually happen without something going wrong behind the scenes.

Either way, GG Ducks fans. Hope your team figures it out... just not against us!

Explaining the Anaheim Ducks Slump by the Stats

The Anaheim Ducks slump is best understood through expectation, not emotion. Early in the season, Anaheim surged to an 11–3–1 start and climbed to a point where playoff models put them near a 90 percent chance of qualifying.
