I know that I'm not exactly breaking any news here but goodness gracious, the Predators stink (and it brings me great joy).

I know i shouldn't take joy in schadenfreude, but in this specific case, it's so deliciously enjoyable

Yet another example of how turning over management of a team to one of its icons doesn't usually work. The list is pretty long now.

It's why I cringe whenever someone suggests Getz or Niedermayer or whoever be hired to run the Ducks.

The ducks should hire Dan Sexton

Yeah I'm sure there's plenty of blame on both sides. I'm expecting he'll be moved by this deadline, it's usually pretty telling when a guy starts speaking so candidly about his discontent.

Jones to Florida for Knight + future 1st

Jones to Florida for Knight + future 1st

My guess is the Hawks should be happy with that return. I’ll also bet Jones ends up being a good fit in Florida.

Getz shouldn't necessarily be running the Ducks but we should've done anything possible to try to keep him in the org. That is a huge failure imo

What. The. And I can't stress this enough. f***.

There was never a shot at acquiring him, which is too bad because I understand why Mason Lohrei was basically an untouchable in any Hampus trade even with an extension. Kid is damn good.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

All I gotta say. WTF!!

Thread 'What's wrong with Connor McDavid this season? Lowest PPG and GPG output in ~7-8 years for him'

Friday at 6:40 AM

Connor McDavid seems to be struggling a lot this season to stand out from a scoring perspective. He's certainly not playing "bad", as he is still one of the league leaders, but he no longer seems to stand out as the league's best offensive player, but rather more as part of the pack.

League leaders as of this posting:

MacKinnon 90 points
Draisaitl 88 points
Kucherov 86 points
McDavid 74 points

That's a big gap from the top 3.

I expected he might come roaring back after the 4 nations and go on a tear to end the year, but so far in 4 games he has 3 assists, and is a -7, in 4 straight...

I wish the Ducks had a player who was struggling with only 74 points now. Lol.

I was curious and had nothing to do yesterday, so I had to look it up: the last Ducks to have at least 74 points in a season were Ryan Getzlaf (87) and Corey Perry (82)… in 2013-14.

Granted, Getz had a 70 point-season the year after that and 73 in 74 games in 2016-17 (so he likely would have hit playing a full 82), but actually discovering this was unbelievably depressing. 11 years (9 full seasons) of not having a single player being able to hit that mark (which isn't even a point-per game, it's approximately .90 points per game!)

Terry is the only hope for that right now but even that’s a tall order. I put a lot of that blame on the PP.

What. The. And I can't stress this enough. f***.

I knew something wasn't right about Brandon Tanev...

Yuck. Weirdo.
