GDT: #34 ⋅ PHI @ ANA ⋅ 1:00 PM PST

[KelVarnsen]

At least I heard some Boo’s.

Good. Cronin is destroying this team and the development of the young players.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Losing to the 1975 stanley cup champions is craaaazyyyyy

The actual players from that team would likely still win vs this coaching.

 

[Mr Rogers]

after watching this, it’s totally possible Cronin goes mid-season.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

going on 3 years of verbeek and this team hasn't left the bottom. thinking he needs to go along with cronin

A rebuilding team by definition is going to spend 2-3 years at the bottom.

Pat probably has another 2 years or so before any real scrutiny

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Four days off to watch that absolute shit effort. Edmonton may do illegal things to this group tomorrow

Mcjesus gonna get a double hat trick

 

[Rooch]

Blow this team up, starting with the guy in the suit who doesn't shave on gamedays. Night after night of ineptitude and weakness.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Come on Oilers, seal this clown’s fate tomorrow. Run it up

 

[emptynetter3]

strome needs to go away.....he isn't a NHL player

 

[WhatTheDuck]

after watching this, it’s totally possible Cronin goes mid-season.

Will ownership pay two coaches? Not sure

 

[ff8]

And now there are what, zero good coaches to replace Cronin?

 

[duckpuck]

It is so anathema to the Samuelis and Verbeek, but it is needed. This team is poorly coached and the young players are not developing.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Will ownership pay two coaches? Not sure

They are fine with paying Trouba $8mil so I doubt they care

 

[Ducks DVM]

[FiveHoleTickler]

I do think this has been McT’s best game in a long time.

It was definitely the type of game that best suits the way he plays. Not expecting to see that against Edmonton tomorrow.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

When Hazy finally lets his frustration out publicly you know this team is garbage.

I turned it off in disgust, what did he say?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

strome needs to go away.....he isn't a NHL player

He'd be ok as a third line winger. Shouldn't be centering a line with our top forward, even if it works sometimes

 

[freikugel]

Will ownership pay two coaches? Not sure

Doubt it they also have a track record of being way too hands off, Bob Murray had to re-sign himself and Verbeek likely won't want to fire his guy

 

[WhatTheDuck]

They are fine with paying Trouba $8mil so I doubt they care

We'll it's 6M salary for him, but maybe yeah. Cronin needs to go

 

[duckpuck]

It seems pretty clear the veterans have tuned out Cronin and the younger guys aren't benefitting from any development under him.

 

[Frosted Tips]

So... What's Pat's contract length?

 

[Static]

They are fine with paying Trouba $8mil so I doubt they care

Technically $6 million, and also they would have to with the cap going up significantly next year. By rule they will have to spend more money.

Will they spend more on another coach if they don't have to? I doubt that, mostly because they have done it like once in 20 years.

 

[FlyingV09]

Man I’m sick of watching this team score 1 or 2 goals every game. It’s so boring to watch.

And is it just me, or are Zellwegers legs the only ones that don’t look like they’re moving in slow motion all the time?

 

[Ducks DVM]

They are fine with paying Trouba $8mil so I doubt they care

6 million, but yeah. His salary was front loaded.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Technically $6 million, and also they would have to with the cap going up significantly next year. By rule they will have to spend more money.

Right… I just think that if they didn’t veto an overpaid player, they are not really the penny pinchers this board thinks they are

 

[Terry Yake]

A rebuilding team by definition is going to spend 2-3 years at the bottom.

Pat probably has another 2 years or so before any real scrutiny

going on 3.5 seasons at the bottom with no signs of improvement should be a big red flag
