To add to my hate list

Gudas has been a very disappointing captain.... hes been basically invisible all season.

I think he’s been trying to let some of the kids also emerge a bit. Seems like a strat( that’s not working )

That Zegras quote was interesting. They were very clear that Zegras wanted to be a center. He said he sees the ice better, can make more plays, and is not stuck on the boards. He also said he enjoys face-offs. This also matches the eye test. Zegras has improved since going back to the middle. The Ducks really need to focus on keeping him on the middle.

Did you notice how long it took Killorn to get off the bench after the game? everyone was in the locker and that bum couldnt figure out the directions to get to get off the bench

Maybe his pride as a player finally bruising up

It’s McTavish who should be a wing. Not Z.

You can quote me on this

Zegras will be an above average faceoff guy for majority of his career.

no kidding, another shitty night but trying to take the best from a given situation, at least we shot this time.
now we need to work accuracy
it's a start, i guess

 

[Rybread86]

I'm getting to the point where it's hard to even judge the players. They all look checked out right now

Ya its pretty clear Cronin lost the room/team.

Only person that has any sort of real energy is zegras, and prob only because hes getting a chance to play center again.

 

[Rybread86]

Aly is really letting some stuff fly tonight. "Closed door meeting" and not sure if you are going to get your post game interview?

 

[Hey234]

Lundestrom has had a solid year. However, the fact that he's starting on the "top" line with Carlsson is an issue. Mixing and matching every game isn't the solution. It looks like someone gasping at straws.

This does remind me when Carlyle got fired the first time. In that time, Getzlaf and the veterans were checked out, not even fighting or slashing players when they were losing.

Hopefully its PV that closed the door.... and firing cronin.

Zs penalty shot was sad.

I'd say there are 3-4 guys who don't look checked out

I mean its how he does penalty shots... the issue is hes playing with little confidence right now(along with like 8 players on the team)... grippin stick to hard, missing shots wide or high. The team has about 0 confidence in making plays.

Said the same thing earlier. 2011 Randy vibes. Teams quit on him it seems

As annoying as Getz ryan kesler and perry antics were at the end of the game... i do kinda miss it... like they hated losing so much... didnt matter if it was game 1 of regular season or playoff game. If they were losing at the end of the game they were going out swinging.

That’s a culture, that wasn’t annoying at all, that was appreciated

Bad joke. But srsly the team needs a vacation or something

Theyve had a vacation the last 6 years

 

[Static]

I think we might actually be the worst team in the league in most metrics. This is unacceptable.

Something has to be done. Verbeek needs to make some sort of trade or change in staffing. Running back the same thing over and over again is brutal.

I hope the latter. This is Cronin.

the hell...

And I thought I was the drunk one tonight……

it’s fine we get hagans, we trade mctavish for a rhd…. And we become great again

 

[robbieboy3686]

I remember Kesler first game back in his last season. I believe he asked baggosian to fight ( when he was with the sabres) getzlaf perry and Kesler our best players back then who also knew how to change the energy in a game. This kid solberg we have, he’s going be that way for sure. Just need to keep drafting big mean players who can compliment Leo and these finess players. We have no culture and haven’t since 2018.
