[TheGoodShepard1]

Nah, they’ll get at least one. They know that their only true purpose in life is to make @Arthuros update the first goal thread out of spite

Hot damn, they actually pulled it off. Impressive and embarrassing

 

[duckpuck]

To respond to the loss in St. Louis with a game like this is really disheartening.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

And now we wait

 

[Rybread86]

That might be the worst 2 games played all season after a stretch of great hockey. Shit doesn't get easier on this road trip. They better find their f***s to give and start using them

 

[AngelDuck]

McTavish actually seems to care at least

 

[Goose of Reason]

Loser team, loser coach, shell of a captain

 

[ohcomeonref]

Ben Affleck energy intensifies.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Terry missing


Im going to watch because these games are going to make the games when were good again worth soo much more.

This

 

[Ducks DVM]

Never seen bitterness for a teenager motivate grown adults quite like this before.

I wonder what could spark our fans and team the same way?

Were you not around for Justin Schultz?

 

[duckpuck]

How does your captain get cross checked in the face and no one respond?

 

[KelVarnsen]

Giving up 12 goals in 2 games......probably at least 4 more tomorrow.

Lots of "development" and promise going on this season.

 

[ff8]

Go buy Drysdale a Rolex you f***ing losers

 

[Boo Boo]

Well those were the only 2 games of the road trip that were supposed to be competitive - on to Carolina Washington Florida and Tampa

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Laine has 9 goals in 14 games....
Columbus gave montreal laine + 2nd for a depth dmen.
- HOW THE HELL WERNT WE IN ON THAT.

Dylan Holloway
32 points 15 goals in 43 games
Cost the blues a 3rd round pick.

Coulda had Hollway + Laine + 2nd for a 3rd + young depth dmen (not even a great one)

 

[robbieboy3686]

it’s not all on Cronin. He doesn’t make Leo soft on the puck or cause him to the turn over the puck. As a young guy trying to establish himself in the league, the coach should honestly be the last thing on his mind. There is a lot more he needs to improve in his own game before worrying about the coach.

Leo also had a lazy af drop pass right into the front of Gibson late in the game, and as always the snap head back in disgust after. Which has gotten so old, I’m getting annoyed af about it. Also, for those defending Leo. When you hear things like “ in all recent drafts in the last years except for maybe the Hughes draft. Leo would go #1” sorry but I’m not seeing it. True fire prospects should be much better by now. Period. Obviously I hope he becomes that, but sorry if I’m very concerned

 

[duckpuck]

Were you not around for Justin Schultz?

I was. And it was nothing like this. Never was the Honda Center filled up with people screaming/chanting about Schultz. Ducks fans didn't spew hate all over the internet and stalk Scultz when he was still in college.

He got booed modestly for maybe 10 games . . . and then it was done.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Absolute obliteration two games in a row. I feel like we’ll see more of this on this trip.

 

[Doothpick]

Proud of Cutter playing through all this, while engaging more as the game went on. Pretty disappointed overall, mostly for myself thinking they could've work through some adversity.

Also congrats Philly for their Cup win, that took some guts.

Kaapo kakko has 7 points in 10 games too

Thats the other 1 i was forgetting lol

PV just waiting for the Meyers type to come available

 

[Rybread86]

God damn, they could have lost 50-0 but unless Cronin is threatening to kill players families if they retaliate in any meaningful way, the lack of response is just pathetic

Ya, plenty of things to blame Cronin for but he's certainly not telling them to not give a shit.

I'm just baffled at this point. They just came off a great stretch of games which seemed to show they hadn't gave up on Cronin, and now they play like this?

It doesn't take Terry being with the team to drop the gloves. It doesn't take loving Cronin to have some pride and stick up for your teammates.

I'm hoping this is just a weird slump and they will bounce back, but what an absolutely horrid 120min of hockey

Because Verbeek is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

He has no idea how to build a proper franchise, OR how to evaluate talent

I think playing under a coach like cronin can certainly take it out of the players, especially the young ones.

The players are not enjoying playing, def something with cronin.

The systems are visibly bad

 

[HanSolo]

yall really think Laine or Kakko would put up those numbers here?

 

[Rybread86]

Loser team, loser coach, shell of a captain

I feel like Gudas is trying to be someone he's not. The C was just too much weight for him to handle
