Both Randy Carlyle and Jean-Sebastien Giguere said the Ducks “found a way to lose” their last home game, 4-3 to Detroit on Wednesday.
They just did it again in Pittsburgh, losing 3-1 to a Penguins team that was missing Sidney Crosby and had lost 8 of its last 10 games.
Among the variety of ways the Ducks found to lose this one:
– Allowing two goals to Matt Cooke — Crosby’s usual left wing — on four shots;
– Allowing Hal Gill to score his first goal of the season off a lost faceoff;
– Surviving a late 3-on-1 rush by the Penguins with Jean-Sebastien Giguere pulled for an extra attacker, that the Penguins somehow missed.
