Wow. Leo was actually decent in the faceoff dot tonight. 56%. Everyone else who took more than 1 sucked (Harkins won one)

 

[Terry Yake]

they're not firing cronin midseason. best hope is that someone decent becomes available in the offseason

maybe a coach who can actually develop young talent. but this franchise has bigger problems than just the HC

 

[WhatTheDuck]

There's a difference between being a prick and actually knowing how to run a bench. Dude can yell in the dressing room all he wants, he just f***ing stands there like a dope all game.

One of your veteran players in particular had a disgustingly sloppy and lazy first period. Then takes a completely unnecessary and lazy penalty behind their net late in the first, leading to the 3-0 goal. Do you send any kind of message to the bench that it won't be tolerated by anyone? Nope, he's right back on the ice to close out the period. Now he's probably telling reporters he doesn't know what happened or that the young guys need to be more consistent.

I still maintain that we hire babysitter Boudreau as an interim coach

Hell I'd take Woodcroft at this point.

Brindamour gets fired after canes lose in the first round. That’s what I’m hoping

Telling you make killorn the coach

- get rid of Cronin on bench
- get rid of killorn on the ice

Win/win

I thought he had a decent game for his first back from injury and having Killorn stapled to him again.

 

[Ducks4Cup]

The hawks fired their coach mid season I don’t see the problem

 

[HanSolo]

- get rid of Cronin on bench
- get rid of killorn on the ice

Win/win

Something tells me the kids wouldn't respect Killorn as a coach. He doesn't do anything to earn respect as a player.

I still remember that game Leo kept throwing his head back in frustration watching Killorn bungle basic passes from him.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Maybe this is all part of PVs master plan

In the future he can say
“Play better or I bring Cronin back “

 

[Ducks DVM]

Telling you make killorn the coach

- get rid of Cronin on bench
- get rid of killorn on the ice

Win/win

Pat Verbeek proudly introduces your new head coach of the Anaheim Ducks of Anaheim - ALEX KILLORN!!!!

Who has himself on the top line, both PP units, and is the EBUG for the opposing team.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Still can't believe that Pat interviewed seemingly everyone except me for this job and Cronin ended up getting it. What a con.

 

[Terry Yake]

if anything, cronin should be fired solely for putting f***ing killorn on the top line and PP. bonus points for putting him out there in OT

 

[duckaroosky]

I'm glad I finished my secret santa shopping tonight after work rather than rush home to watch the game because it looks like it sucked! Now I get to sleep in tomorrow.

That might be pvs call tbh he loves killorn

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

That was really not entertaining at all. No one played well.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Hell I'd take Woodcroft at this point.

Agreed, but I specifically am dreaming of an unhinged Boudreau that is wearing Hawaiian shirts behind the bench and just having fun with everyone as we win out the season

I could see Cronin giving a good interview for the job….

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I agree. I am getting tired of losing, I'll take those Boudreau teams that score a lot and come back late in games over this loisy piss brand of hockey. He may be old but he's never been a jerk to players and they all loved him when he was coach. I miss the way he made the team seem faster on the ice than they were because of the offensive system he put in place.

He may be 69 but he would still be better than Cronin and Eakins. Even at 80 he'd probably still be better than them.

I miss Bruce so much it's unreal, we may have always lost game 7s but damn were his teams fun to watch

 

[Terry Yake]

i'd take carlyle over cronin

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

i'd take carlyle over cronin

Do NOT put that into the atmosphere

 

[ScarTroy]

I could see Cronin giving a good interview for the job….

He says the right things, as evidenced by any time there’s an actual quote from him it gets a bunch of likes. Then we get duped, rinse and repeat.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Kind of sped ran through this recording.

Just a horrendous watch. Cardinal rule of sports: if you're going to bad, you have to be entertaining. You cannot be both bad AND boring, which is exactly what this garbage is.
