Sigh

 

[Dryish]

Yeah eff that. We didn't hire a coach, we hired middle management.

 

[Static]

Hmm.

Hard to imagine anyone being sold on Cronin after remarks like that from Boosh.

I really hope he has a short leash this year and I hope the Ducks are keeping tabs on potential replacements.

Bring in the Bruce B and this team would be in in the playoffs.. For sure

 

[AngelDuck]

Good lord. I want to defend/like Cronin. But good god

What the f***

 

[KelVarnsen]

I wish Derek Lee would ask PV about these comments. Someone needs to push PV with a little pressure to actually try and defend Cronin.

We’ll see. It’s obvious Verbeek was going to give Cronin a couple years all along. This is PV’s hire and he’s going to make sure he gets a fair shake.

This season is massive for Cronin, particularly the start. If things start off real bad then I’m going to assume he’s a lame duck

Those comments by Lybuschkin are a real real bad sign. It’s not enough on its own to get someone fired - he even said he thinks Cronin’s a good coach - but I don’t like this trend

The truth is . Like someone said earlier.. He is not an NHL coach.. Plain and Simple.. Verbeek took a swing and missed.. Problem is Verbeek needs to read the room.. By the looks of it.. The players have tuned him out.. Thats not a good sign..

Is it possible that this is why it was so difficult to sign people this off season?

Perhaps word got around that there were 40 min sessions of motivational speakers like you see around social media lol.

It certainly doesn’t help.

Well, these comments are nothing but depressing. The Ducks need an NHL coach, not Tony Roberts.

Especially at this pivotal time in the rebuild.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Might also explain why some players want out, and why there are so many rumors.

 

[Boo Boo]

I’m definitely not ruling out lybushkin just being malcontent for having to play for a cellar dweller like us - even though he seems to have a super valid point is that how the rest of the team actually felt?
