Earlier this season, the Anaheim Ducks didn’t want to leave Honda Center.
Through the first 22 home games, the Ducks posted an incredible 20-0-2 record.
Now, Anaheim can’t wait to get out of Anaheim.
After a stunning Game 1 loss in which the Ducks were seven seconds away from pulling ahead 1-0 in the series, the Ducks find themselves in a 2-0 hole as they head up the I-5 to Los Angeles.
Following Monday night’s loss in Game 2, captain Ryan Getzlaf was understandably frustrated.
"“I’m ticked off right now. We’re in playoff time right now. There are no excuses for anything. We have to be better, I have to be better, and I expect our group to respond.”"
Getlzaf and fellow linemate Corey Perry have combined for only one point in the first two games and have to step up if the Ducks are to get back in this series.
But besides the two stars looking to get back on track in Los Angeles, what else do the Ducks need to do in order to climb out of a 2-0 hole?
We asked our fans what they thought.
@PucksofaFeather Get in front of Quick so he can't see the puck and make the easy saves! Get back to playing Ducks hockey!

@PucksofaFeather Get bodies in front of Quick, before and after the shot. Make a little contact, get him emotional, off his game.

@PucksofaFeather Maroon needs to park his butt in Quick's face every time he's on the ice. Crash..Crash...Crash the net. #PaintItOrange

@PucksofaFeather Play a simple game. Be physical, get pucks on net, and crash the net with bodies. (1/2) Cont...

@PucksofaFeather Put the pressure on Quick. We need to take away their spirit.
