2024-25 Coaching/Management/Ownership

Cronin is f***ing awful. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. Continues to be some of the absolute worst hockey I've seen Anaheim play when you factor in the talent on the ice.

It's hard to argue that he has been effective as a coach. Statistically, the team is bottom of the league in most areas. Line decisions are confusing to say the least. He has players playing out of their natural positions to low effect. Special teams are atrocious. He overplays 4th line players and matches them against top lines for some reason. He's publicly acknowledged to changing his system 3 times since he's been here. That's too many times..

The Ducks have a clear system issue. A good coach provides a structure that allows the team to build from. Cronin has not shown he is capable of doing that. I don't think I can renew my season tickets if Cronin returns. I can't support wasting another year.
