What agaimst us?I want Cronin fired as much as the next guy but this weird vendetta that Spittin Chichlets has against the Ducks org is getting out of hand.
This is the thing, It's not like Anaheim fans are some amazing market to unlock for their viewership so there isn't a whole lot to gain by focusing on the Ducks. There is likely much more viewership for drama surrounding Vancouver, NY or Buffalo.What agaimst us?
They have had a lot of our ppl on, I even thought man, they're the ones finally giving us exposure

You know this how? You were in the room or heard it from a reliable source?When Verbeek told the owners that he needed to blow up the team instead of taking the next step to be contenders as he promised, then the Samueli's knew it would be a five-year process. The org is overpaying for lower talent brought in with $7 mil for Klingberg, $6.25 mil AAV for Killorn, $8 mil AAV for Trouba, and $5 mil to Strome.
They have always been wealthy, true, but they were worth about $4 billion 5 years ago and are now worth about $23 billionYou know this how? You were in the room or heard it from a reliable source?
Separate point not directed to the quoted post. It is weird that people are focused on the Samueli's increasing wealth. They have always been billionaires and the NHL has a salary cap. All major sports team owners are massively wealthy. Their wealth is largely irrelevant. So posting about it smacks of jealously and/or some sort of odd political statement ("there should be no billionaires"). The Samuelis are first generation wealthy - he created something of immense value to society. They are very philanthropic. All of that should be admired, not viewed as a bad thing

Also Z said he hated playing wing and I think it was Killorn that said no one really knows where others are on ice. All this stuff screams Cronin is out to lunch and there is absolutely a disconnect between the coaching staff and the players.i don't care for the SC group personally, but there's far too much smoke for there not to be something going on with Cronin and the locker room. Them, plus the Lyubushkin stuff earlier this season; it's pretty apparent that Cronin is just not mixing well with this group. but Pat wont do shit until the damage is done.

I agree. If anything they are trying to support our players.What vendetta with the Ducks? Nobody was saying they had a vendetta with Columbus when they were shit talking Babcock, why are Ducks fans being weird about them talking about Cronin?
I believe Pat is from the same cloth. There was a case he was rude/made fun of a journalist (was it Helen Eliot?) when asked if Pat valueates himself. Made a super rude and full,-of-himself impression. Now even more feels like it's not a coincidenceI agree. If anything they are trying to support our players.
In Cronin’s preseason interview with Alexis, and in previous interviews he’s given , I’ve gotten this vibe that he’s pretty impressed by himself and his ability to communicate with and evaluate players. He seems to say all the right things but just doesn’t really enact any of it. Seems like Pat fell for that in interviews.
Yeah it was a curt response to Lisa Dillman. The comment Biz made about Cronin thinking his philosophies are a big deal kind of resonated with me a bit at least. In preseason interviews, I got the impression that he thought his coaching ways were kind of profound.I believe Pat is from the same cloth.

Again this stuff actually sounds good but it’s not resulting in wins either because it’s not actually that good or he’s not implementing it/actually staying true to his word.
Around 46:00 is the type of stuff I’m thinking about
