Ducks Gameday -- Carlyle gets Extenze'd

Anaheim Ducks (16-13-4) at Washington Capitals (18-11-3), 4 pm
Anaheim Calling and Japers' Rink -- bi-coastal and bi-curious.

Well, by now everybody's heard the rotten news: despite running a "training" camp that led to the worst 3-game start in Ducks history (and very possibly league history), despite his team being outshot by 102 shots over a preseason and 189 shots so far in the regular season, and despite Anaheim's amazing ability to continually produce terrible on-ice efforts this season, head coach Randy "Gorilla Head" Carlyle's contract has been extended another season.  Hooray for bananas!

Rcdonkeykong2_medium
Still in Vegas, so I'm recycling images once again.

It's a fairly mind-boggling move, as twice so far this season I've called for Carlyle's firing -- fortunately, neither instance really picked up any momentum, as the Ducks immediately won six straight games after the first Fire Randy post, and then won three straight after the second one.  Maybe in that sense Randy's extension is a good thing -- it does give me the continued ability to negatively inspire a win streak, I guess.

But still, this season the Ducks have been outshot in 2/3 of their games, and 14 times the margin has been by 10 or more shots.  I guess I should look forward to being severely outshot next season, too.  Good luck, Hiller!

Star-divide

In terms of today's game, it should be pretty interesting.  The Capitals, winners of last year's Presidents' Trophy, come into this game on a six-game losing streak, in which the Caps have only potted 8 goals while allowing 22.  Before this slump, the Caps were 18-6-2, and had outscored opponents 88-68.  I'm a tad suspicious -- this could be an attempt by the Caps to avoid last season's double curse:

Capscurse_medium
A doctored classic.

It's tough to say whether it's a good time to be playing the Capitals, or whether that was last game, but it does feel like an opportunity for the Ducks to kick a team while they're down.  The key in my eyes is still blueline personnel -- the Ducks are 10-2-1 when Lydman, Fowler, and Lilja all play.

Prediction: Lilja sits; Ducks get outshot, outplayed, and outscored -- it's the Carlyle way.

Go Ducks.

Carlyle doesn’t trust Swedes not named Pahlsson.

I would be somewhat surprised if Carlyle even knew about Lilja’s success rate — not evident in the way he’s been played so far.

Bonus prediction – Getzlaf turns the puck over to a fourth liner who scores and gets that look from Hiller. You know the one.

But we’ve been kidding ourselves every season since the lockout — and on nights he plays, Teemu is frequently our best player, right?

It’s all up to him, and thus far he hasn’t been very receptive to retirement.

Haha, you have no idea about the Prius, do you?

It’s sitting in my garage at home, but it never plugs in or anything, and its engine still runs on gasoline. It just utilizes its gas engine a lot less than most cars, and instead creates energy through things like brake friction.

Roughly $20 of premium gas gets me roughly 300 miles or something, but in most aspects it behaves like a normal car.

BTW, you can actually make it to Vegas on a single tank without a problem. I’ve done it plenty of times. It pretty much has the range of a normal car. And like Sleek pointed out, it’s not an electric car although it can run off of a battery. Gas is just used to charge the battery and also kicks the gas engine on when you need more power.

Shots often don’t always tell the story, its a misleading statistic, but even shot differential is improving so I don’t get why you hate on Carlyle for it, in the past month the Ducks have only allowed 40 shots or more once and it was against Vancouver, a game that went to a shootout and was on the back end of back to backs. I’d be interested to see the scoring chances for and against ratio, anyone know where to find those stats?

by kvd123 on Dec 15, 2010 1:32 PM PST reply actions  

Sure, it won’t tell the whole story, but still — the Ducks have lost more games than they’ve won, so I don’t know that it’s entirely misleading.

We’ve still been outshot 5 of 7 games in December, 3 of those times by more than 10 shots. And I didn’t even bring up the tendency to blow leads late in the 3rd — just because we’ve played one successful third period doesn’t mean that that issue is resolved.

Also, Ducks have given up 11 more goals than they’ve scored this season — is that less misleading for you?

Or why not just tell me a statistic that has you encouraged about Randy’s extension? Other than “1 Stanley Cup”, I don’t know that I’ve got that many.

Games in which we outshot the opponents 39-26, and 41-29

by kvd123 on Dec 15, 2010 1:49 PM PST up reply actions  

Oh, so shot totals are acceptable to use when they favor the Ducks but not vice versa? :)

You stumped me, anyways — I can’t find a single game this season where the Ducks outshot an opponent 39-26, but it would be nice. 41-29 would have been better had the score not been 0-4, but it did feel very foreign to watch — it’s the anomaly game, not what we typically see.

Oh, I see what happened — you’re referring to the Phoenix game where we got outshot 39-26. If you’re typically flipping those kind of results, I can see why you’re more optimistic than the rest of us.

yea my bad, I read the shots wrong, thought that was a road game, but I was using the shot totals as an example of how shots dont always matter, scoring chances do.

Sure, but as nobody’s publishing that stuff, we’ll have to use the next best thing.

Still haven’t heard you refute the goal totals, though. Does that encourage you about Carlyle’s next year?

Not trying to justify Carlye’s extension or anything, what’s the goal differential if you don’t count those first 3 games. Part of me wants to consider those anomaly games too.

by Wooster11 on Dec 15, 2010 2:47 PM PST up reply actions  

You spotted it — goal differential is even after game #3, though shots are still 989 – 873 in favor of the opposition. Goaltending has been saving our asses.

I guess we could call them anomaly games, but why did we have a training camp then?

by Earl Sleek on Dec 15, 2010 2:56 PM PST up reply actions  

yea I was just going to say since november 3rd, the Ducks are +1 in goal differential, obviously not where they want to be but it’s not a disgraceful number.

by kvd123 on Dec 15, 2010 3:02 PM PST up reply actions  

That’s not a bad number, I guess, but you are selecting a segment of games where the Ducks have played 2/3 of them at home.

www.battleofcali.com

by Earl Sleek on Dec 15, 2010 3:11 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, the shots are totally insane.

The biggest thing that bothers me as that there’s always all this talk (at least by Hayward on the broadcast) about the number of blocked shots that the Ducks have. Yeah, it’s high, but that also means that those are shot attempts that the opponents are getting. Which means to me that those are times when the Ducks don’t have the puck.

I think the biggest issue is just overall time of possession. The Ducks are having to play too much defense which means that it gets them too tired to play offense. This holds true in all sports. And when you’re playing too much defense, it’s inevitable that you’re going to give up more shots. I also think this is a big contributor in the 3 blown two goal leads.

Yeah, I didn’t include blocked or missed shots, but I’m pretty sure we get murdered in those possession-related stats as well.

And you’re right — these are all just symptoms of the bigger issue. Opponents find offense too easily; Ducks employ a system which makes it seem ever-so-difficult to generate offense on their own.

to add to this point..i think thats why i love fowler, vish and am warming up to sbisa..there dmen who carry out the puck..no ring around the boards and hope the long clear doesnt get picked off by the opposing team

the problem is though..forwards are receiving the passes either stationary or they get the puck wide and shoot imediatly from a bad angle..so one shot and the puck is going the other way…way too many..one shot..and pucks going the other way

give u example of generating offense…agains the ducks…zetterburg comes into the zone with speed of course…the defense causes him to go to the backhand…a ducks player in that situation would either:

a: try to force it and get the puck poke checked
b: make a foolish pass to the other team
c: shoot wide

zetterberg took what the D gave him..kept skating with the puck on his backhand..got close and fired a shot at hiller…the duck of course kareemed off hiller to a wing driving to the net…bam easy bang in rebound goal

the problem is though..forwards are receiving the passes either stationary or they get the puck wide and shoot imediatly from a bad angle.

When the Getzlaf line is playing awful, one thing I notice is that it’s usually because they have too many guys deep, then they’ll shoot it to center ice where Perry (usually) has to catch that pass then try to get past three defenders.

I do like Lilja’s ability to get pucks to forwards, though — I think that’s an underrated part of his game.

Agreed, if not better.

I’m not too down on Mara, though — he knows his limitations and works within the player he is. Much better than what Sutton does compared to what he should do.
