Wonder if that's maybe why he didn't play Sunday.

Vatrano-Zegras-Henrique
Nesterenko-McTavish-Terry
Jones-Lundestrom-Strome
McGinn-Grant-Silfverberg

That's how I'd ice this group too. Maybe swap Nesterenko for Jones since he started to turn the corner on that line.

No need to bother with the defense. Just like our opposition, let's just pretend they're not there.

 

[KelVarnsen]

For the billionth time, Eakins is not in charge of the PP unit.

- 2017 summer: Asst. coaches Konowalchuk (PP) and Morrison were hired by the Ducks.
- 2018 summer: Konowalchuck fired by the Ducks, Morrison becomes PP coach. Asst coach Wilford hired for defense.
- 2019 summer: Eakins becomes head coach; asst coaches stay
- 2020 summer: Asst coaches stay, finished with 8.9% PP
- 2021 summer: Morrison and Wilford fired. New assistant coaches Ward (PP), Brown (PP), and Stothers (defense/PK) hired.
--- Had a top-5/8 PP before Verbeek blew up the roster at the TDL.

​

Ducks​	2021-22​	PP​	&​	PK​	​	​	​	​
Game Set​	Games​	PPG​	PPO​	PP Eff​	​	PK GA​	TSH​	PK Eff​
1 to 33​	33​	23​	90​	25.6%​	​	12​	85​	85.9%​
34 to 62​	29​	19​	85​	22.4%​	​	17​	89​	80.9%​
63 to 82​	20​	6​	44​	13.6%​	​	14​	50​	72.0%​

- 2022 summer: Ward left the org for personal reasons. New asst coach Craig Johnson hired.

Ward leaving the org had a significant affect on the Ducks' PP for the 2022-23 season. It's the GM's job to find the appropriate assistant coach(es). Murray took blame for Morrison and Wilford, which is why we had two asst coaches to improve the moribund PP unit for the 2021-22 season.

If you're going to criticize, then criticize correctly.

For the billionth time, he is the HEAD COACH who is responsible for EVERYTHING. He has assistants who help specialize in different things but make no mistake, it is the HEAD COACH who takes the heat and takes the glory. I can’t believe a smart person such as yourself thinks the head coach has nothing to do with different aspects of the team he is responsible for.

Good managers delegate to capable people but they absolutely should step in when they see something amiss. You are absolutely correct.

That was me last Tuesday. Something going around. Lol

 

[pbgoalie]

Whole team needs to get it for stretch run

Watching the current team play makes me want to puke as well.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Now, if we are being fair about it, the ’93 and ‘94 teams played 84 games, and the ‘75 team played only 80, so it’s not apples to apples. Probably will still the the worst even pro-rated though, but it’ll be closer than it appears. Need to get to 3139 to hive the highest shots against/game. I’ll charitably say it happens in the last game, but it’ll probably be against Vancouver.

Yeah didn’t realize they played 84 games but I think they are going to way over shoot that number. Figure 5 games left give up average 38 goals? Regardless just a bad season.

This is what I’m talking about! Give the kid the net tonight !

 

[Kalv]

Was he rewatching our games?

 

[Arthuros]

Was he rewatching our games?

Nah, after playing a few games, he decided he was going to pretend to be sick for the rest of the year.

Vatrano-Zegras-Henrique
Nesterenko-McTavish-Terry
Jones-Lundestrom-Strome

Decent lineup...
If the season begins now, I would say this roster ends 22-24th.

 

[Leonardo87]

One can hope right?


Henrique - Zegras - Vatrano
Bedard - McTavish - Terry
Regenda - Lundy - Strome
Jones - Groulx - Silf

Does he mostly play LW? I thought he was a C.

He played on Mac’s wing at the WJC.

 

[DavidBL]

He played on Mac’s wing at the WJC.

For some reason I thought he played RW.

 

[All Mighty]

He did. LW is probably the last place we should put him.

 

[Leonardo87]

He did. LW is probably the last place we should put him.

Well excuuuuuuuuse me. Lol

 

[All Mighty]

Well excuuuuuuuuse me. Lol

That was unfair of me. Goalie is probably the last place we should put him.

 

[Leonardo87]

That was unfair of me. Goalie is probably the last place we should put him.

It’s my bad. I thought he played LW at the juniors with Mac. I mean some players can play either side but you want them to be comfortable on their natural side.

I think Carlsson for one example is a LW/C . I just think with McTavish, Zegras and the potential Top 3, someone has to go to wing. These guys aren’t going to the 3rd line.
