cronin

The entire coaching staff aside from the goalie coaches and the in game video guy honestly.

 

[Unholy]

Vatrano wtf

 

[ohcomeonref]

Just got home from work. Why do none of the ducks want the puck?

You're better off going back to work

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Did I tell you guys I saw the Lightning's coach giving a talk at a farmer's market workshop for honeydew growers?

It was a Jon Cooper Melon Camp.

I know everyone wants to shit on Cronin, but winning puck battles isn't coaching. Too many guys incapable or uninterested in doing what it takes to win those battles.

 

[HanSolo]

Passing is declining this period.

That joke hurts so good.

Why Vatrano? You have full control

 

[Wheatens]

So many close chances there for that Cutter/Leo/Killorn line, at least they are creating stuff in the o zone just need one of the opportunities to stick.

 

[Unholy]

Allergic to possession

100%. To be fair though, there'd be less battles to win if there were passing options instead of just rimming the puck around or clearing up the middle constantly

 

[HanSolo]

Not much doing for anyone hoping to get a lottery odds bump. Sabres and Flyers about to lose in regulation.

 

[Deuce22]

LaCombe was looking like a #1 D for awhile but I think Cronin has worn him out. Looks tired.

The "system" does them no favors, but half of these forwards just cannot win puck battles even when they are in the right spot.

I don't know if agree 100%. Board battles are still part of the practice drills.

Honestly, I'm just saying stuff. I never know wtf I'm talking about, I played like 2 years of organized hockey, lol.

Edit: 2 years of organized hockey when I was 7.

[Big Fat Rebound]

Oh Leo, that was sex

 

[Unholy]

I’m for keeping the third line in the locker room for the next period

 

[Static]

Offense predicated in individual efforts.

 

[ScarTroy]

He’s making those look easy now

 

[duckaroosky]

Oh Leo, that was sex

Well he didn't score so it was more like edging
