Biggest issue with our team is inconsistent play from the vets.. and Young guys didnt step up.

So our biggest issue is that both the old guys and the young guys are bad lol

 

[All Mighty]

We need to trade him ASAP. I don't think he's this bad, but we just don't need him anymore.

Record with Fowler out: 5-4-2 (only one loss by more than 1 goal, the first game he was out)

Record with Fowler back: 0-3-1 (3 losses by 3+ goals)

Defense gave up 4+ goals only twice while he was gone, already three times since he's been back

Hey, what are you doing manufacturing a narrative out of thin air?

I’m not gonna be as hard on him as some here, he gave us many good seasons, but he’s definitely gotta go at this point. Too many young LHD who need to be playing over him and unlike guys like Trouba, Dumo, and Gudas, he is clearly not a fit for the way Vercronin want this defense to be playing. I really don’t think it’s a coincidence that the defense had settled in and was playing well in his absence and now seems to be struggling again with him back. Gonna have to figure out a trade soon

Correlation vs Causation

Seeing two variables moving together does not mean we can say that one variable causes the other to occur. This is why we commonly say “correlation does not imply causation.”

The negative that Fowler coming back does bring is a lack of consistency in the lineup and the pairings. I don't trust cronin's ability to manage that effectively.

Ducks are dead last in GF, and 2nd to last in GF/GP, only Nashville is worse. Look at this team's production...

This is not good hockey or a good way for the kids to develop. Cronin needs to go before Jan.

We’re also last in shots against. We’re literally not doing anything good under cronin

His elite skill (skating) that made him good is no longer a thing. There is no way in a rebuilding/developmental year that two young D who are NHL players should be scratched every night. It's past time.

I've been one of his biggest defenders and even I'm having a hard time defending him at this point.

Yeah, this is where I'm at. Mostly I still defend him just because I don't want to hear, "See?!? He's bad! I've been telling you this for years!" from his detractors, completely missing how erroneous that line of thinking is.

But he isn't good any more, at least not for this team in this system. It's time to move on.

Cutter could realistically finish 2nd in points

With 20.

Terry might get to 60 and will be our leader, but i think he'll finish mid to high 50s assuming he stays healthy. I think Leo will finish 2nd but i'm not too confident about that. Our 2nd leading scorer probably maxes out in the mid-40s with a considerable chance of it being in the 30s. Just absurd lol

Absolute shit tier hockey.
