[The Midnight Burrito]

Anticipatory WTF.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Last 2 games got me down

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

I’ll be watching the Packers and refreshing the score on my phone for this one. Expecting to be able to put my phone down early.

 

[hockey webcomics]

uh no prompt this time, is this a kind of protest? maybe some statement towards cronin?

 

[Goose of Reason]

Oh great another game

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

 

[DucksFanDFW]

If I saw last night's game as a Carolina player, I would come out and start bullying this team from the drop of the puck. Guaranteed W. This one is on so early, I might actually forget that it's on and not subject myself to suffering through it.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

I'd take Zellweger as a forward over most of the forwards.

He really should never be out of the lineup. I don't care if he throws it in his own net on purpose, hes much more useful than most of these dudes who probably belong in the AHL (at best)

 

[Mr Rogers]

The reporter’s question about how the Flyers didn’t seem to give us any space was interesting. I feel like we rarely have time and space to make plays on the ice. It’s really obvious when you watch games not involving the Ducks. Most of it is due to the speed we play at - but not necessarily footspeed although that’s part of it too.

Our decision-making is often slow and our passing poor. We really struggle in the transition and breakouts. Always feel like guys have a backchecker all over them even when we play a team that isn’t considered “fast.” It’s a combo of a bad system but there’s poor execution too. We give teams a ton of time to set up against us.

 

[Quack Shot]

I feel like each time we take 2 steps forward, we take 3 steps back. Desperately need Z and Terry back.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

lol games at 2….

wonder if Cronin is bag skating them

 

[dracom]

Watch we win this game and cronin keeps his job for another month

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Watch we win this game and cronin keeps his job for another month

This is the type of game we generally randomly win for no reason

 

[anezthes]

uh no prompt this time, is this a kind of protest? maybe some statement towards cronin?

Load management.

 

[jiggsawpuzzle35]

I’m going to have a good day today and try to not watch this game. Three hours of watching The Office reruns it is.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

Just don’t hurt us too bad we’re a fan base at its breaking point!

Maybe just beat us like 2-1 or something

 

[freikugel]

Saw a guy with a "Fire Cronin" shirt at a Costco in the IE, made sure to say "nice shirt" to him.

 

[duckaroosky]

Oh, another day of torture? I mean ducks hockey. Yay!

 

[tomd]

The next 5 games have the potential to effectively end the season.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

you're in luck! these major event games almost always go poorly for us, so a 2-1 game either way is certainly in the cards!

Lord only knows how bad a duck drowning in a hurricane would look in walle or zora etc…. Given last two games , no z or terry, it aint like the prompt would be majestic duck soaring over a hurricane

They’re usually cheap anyway, but bringing too much bullying would distract them from all the diving they’re going to be doing.
