Obviously we want ducks to do well
Stomaching another lottery season is not something I am looking forward to.
I am wondering what i will be feeling if we start as hot as last year with the ridiculous comebacks and minty and mact playing so well. Frankie with hattys etc. lol. Nevermind i will be screaming with joy in the moment. Happy memories
The start to last season was... tons of fun but incredibly fluky. The Ducks were winning games they shouldn't and coming out on games they were outplayed. That's fine occasionally, but it seemed like every win was a coin toss the Duck's didn't deserve to win but it was coming up in their favor
Lots of fun, lots of luck, lots of heroics. The bummer is that you hope early success can fuel some confidence and kind of buoy a team that needed to play above its ability in order to succeed. But that success kind of fizzled out and it didn't steamroll very long.
The Duck's team needs to be in contention for more than a couple months. They can't be out of the playoffs in December. They don't have to win the Cup or make the playoffs, but they need to be in the conversation for a majority of the year until maybe the TDL. Its kind of like what Henrique said in his interview, something about being out of the playoffs by December makes for a long/miserable season. I don't care what position they finish in, so long as they push back playoff elimination as long as possible.
