Nope. Gibson hasn't been as bad as Mrazek. Last night against the islanders he had a bad 1st period. But he picked it up after. And I'm not sure where you guys are getting that stolarz or dostal are better than Gibson. Their is no proof of that. I mean maybe Dostal will be better In 3 or 4 years. But everything I can tell is that Dostal is smaller and less athletic than Gibson. Maybe Dostal will have better Mechanics than Gibson. But Gibby has been working on his Mechanics this year. He's doing way Less of his break dance moves that he use too. He stays on his skates and doesn't dive as much. And Gibson looks really uncomfortable playing this way. It's like he wants to jump at every puck he sees. But he's really focused on staying on his skates. Somebody should ask the coaches about this. If this is part of the plan for Gibson. Because this would explain some of bad stats.

That's part of it. The Ducks are also young and prone to mistakes. And our system is more of a two way system. The Ducks have alot of two way fowards and puck moving dmen. So far this mixture of players seems best a winning 4 to 3. If they give up more than three goals they don't have the offense to score five or six goals. And they don't have the defense to win 2 to 1 or 3 to 2. It's just a narrow window of victory. To me this means they just need more talent in the right places. Maybe another one or two goal scoring wingers. And optimally just one defensive foward line.
