from Eric Stephens of Ducks Blog at the OC Register,
Consider that after three days of stewing over a 5-0 home beating at the hands of St. Louis, their response Wednesday night was falling behind to Dallas by three goals and being severely outshot by the Stars in the process.
That the Ducks rallied to make it a close game in the third period did not assuage any ill feelings. In fact, the temperature seemed to rise in the dressing room afterward.
When asked if guys are fed up, Ryan Getzlaf said, “I think so. I am. It’s kind of at that point where we’ve got to decide if we’re going to play and we’re going to be a good hockey team. I’m more fed up with myself than anything.”
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle was seething between each word that he uttered in his postgame news conference.
“My message is that obviously what we did prior to this game and to the previous game against St. Louis wasn’t enough,” Carlyle said. “Because the results in the hockey game are one where we got beat 5-0 and then in the other one, we were down 3-0 in our building until the third period.
