Totally offtopic but that visual very reminds me of the Latvian animated movie Flow, that just received a Golden Globe and some speculate it might get an Oscar (TBD).

I have yet to watch it, hope to do next week. If I can find time in the middle of the night to watch how Cronin takes a piss into my sould with his player development, I can find time to get my ass to the cinema.

Go Ducks. Panthers are our inaugural(?) bros. Now we both have a cup.

The lines look a lot better on the eyes without players like Lundestrom and Leason playing with Carlsson and Killorn. When Zegras gets back:

McTavish-Carlsson-Killorn
Vatrano-Strome-Terry
Gauthier-Zegras-Fabbri

Need to upgrade Fabbri’s spot with a gritty skilled puck possession RW that can score. That’s got to be Verbeek’s focus going into the TDL and offseason. Has to be someone under 28 with some term on their contract

Basically, we need one more Terry level RW and we’ll have a solid top 9 IMO

I like Sennecke but I really hope we go outside the organization for help in the near term. Let him develop one more year

#3 picks don’t usually stay down in the minors for 2 seasons (unless it’s a Russian player ) definitely expecting sennecke to be on the ducks next season. Possibly the Leo plan? We still need to do anything possible to trade for Tkachuk if he becomes available and or sign ratenan though

 

[Arthuros]

I'm scared.

 

[GermanRocket7]

Coach Cronin's gameplan seems to be a different breed.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Hoping for the same lines. McTavish really compliments the Leo/Killorn tandem well.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Mac centering Leo-Killorn does kick Cutter to the curb with Lundy. Hopefully, Zegras comes back to center Cutter and Lundy be the defensively minded wing.
