GDT: #16 ⋅ DET @ ANA ⋅ 7:00 PM PST
- Thread starter anezthes
- Start date
Yzerman was this god of a manager and Pat was part of his success.
Tampa didn't start actually winning until he was gone
Detroit is still shit
Ducks are runnig their young stars to the ground with a system that was last successful when the dinosaurs were still roaming around.
This is my first thought when seeing the GDT title
sorry, I have been a party pooper pessimist on these boards lately. I hope we win this one.

One wonders if the “hire a disciple of Steve Yzerman” path of GM hiring should have at least waited to see whether Steve Yzerman has a method that works or is just a guy who did a thing once.

Fire everyone!
I like your pessimism and pessimism in general. I'm also fun at parties.Yzerman was this god of a manager and Pat was part of his success.

No need to wonder. Verbeek's performance (or lack thereof) speaks for itself.

He could at least get the AHL team in the playoffs lol. How many franchises have both their minor league and NHL team at the bottom of the standings for three years in a row?

At this stage I'm surprised our whole roster has even scored 5 goals all year.

Today's GDT will be a bit late; my oldest son got tickets to see our local hockey team.
To be fair, pessimism is a lot closer to realism than optimism is in most circumstances. It's also funnier.
One could say the yzerplan was to pollute several other teams with false hires in backoffices to ensure the redwings werent the only terrible team in the league

That depends on how good you are at it!
This team is so bad, the stress of being a fan is going to give me a prolapsed rectum!
I mostly agree with the first sentence but vehemently disagree with the second. In the context of sports fandom, pessimism just depressing. If there's no hope, what's even the point? This is supposed to be entertainment.
As I discovered with the Angels about a year and a half ago, if that well has finally run completely dry, better just to let it lie dormant and not care for a while. I'm not there yet with the Ducks.
Score more than 1 or 2 goals? Has the bar fallen that low with this team that all I want is a game they score 3 goals or more?
Different strokes I suppose. I find hyperbolic pessimism to be pretty funny in GDTs. "Stroke will never score again." Or: "fire Cronin to the sun."
Yeah, I think that's right. Unless I'm feeling particularly frustrated and need to vent (which, frankly, is happening more and more often with this team), I usually avoid game threads. I don't have a problem with immediate reactions to stuff that's happening (e.g. Killorn looks like crap tonight), but I don't find the over-arching statements to be amusing. I'd rather discuss those things postgame, once the passions of the moment have died down.
Even in the most frustrating moments, I want to hang onto hope that the team will win, both in the short-term and the long-term.

I'm with the 3 goals or more stance.
I also would like to see the difference between old to new system.

Why do people worship guys like Dubas and/or Yzerman? They haven't done shit to back up their bravado
