Ducks lose franchise record 12th straight game - (Streak ends at 12)

[clownshoes]

Horrible move from GM

Bergevin did this with Therrien a few years ago and it was an atrocious mistake.

I'm not saying he has to fire the coach right now - but do not commit to not fire the coach in the midst of an 11 game losing streak. What if they lose 3 more? or 5? or 10? He'll just look stupid.

he just hitched his wagon to carlyle and threw his players under it. This blind commitment could be his downfall. if they continue the downward spiral, he'll start rethinking that comment. i also don't think this callout, will inspire getzlaf and company,it probably pissed themoff even more with the situation they're in as players, stuck with a mediocre roster and a crap system coached by a stubborn ass-hole. getzlaf is probably the most motivated he's ever been to suck.

Corey Perry hasn't played, and Kesler is clearly badly impaired, so that's not going to help the goal total.

Impaired as in he sucks now?

In other words - this is just like Montreal 3 years ago lol.

That's some BM from the GM.

He has had major hip surgery.

Why do people think you can't get seriously hurt playing sports?

People do it doing much less.

He may not be the same player, but he is clearly injured and trying to play through it.

What do you want from the guy?

 

[MMC]

Well, guess we’ll see if Shore fixes anything

 

[Man Bear Pig]

RC did a good job his first year here the problem is he has a shelf life and he's expired

The game has simply passed him by. His style just doesn't work anymore. It's like hes stuck in the 90's.

I swear just 2 weeks ago or something someone posted a thread how the ducks turned things around and that the quacks are here to burn our village down.

Pretty sure that's when our losing streak started, the game after that post if im not mistaken.

HFboard jinx is real.
But honestly if you watched us on the winning streak, we prob didn't deserve to win more than 1 of those games... Gibson was doing Gibson things

 

[Rabid Ranger]

The fact they can compete at all with their current roster is a miracle IMO. Was it my imagination or was Rowney getting prime minutes yesterday? Yikes!

 

[Ducks Dynasty]

Time for a major overhaul/retool of the forward corps.

I'd rather the Ducks draft high rather than limp into the playoffs at this point.

 

[Deuce22]

I seriously think I could skate faster than Kesler.

Don't insult our "shut down center" like that!

Clearly he needs more minutes at key time

Kesler was likely brought back too early. Probably should've waited long or even the entire season for more physical rehab.

Well...not quite that though. They are pretty bad on paper as well (in my opinion)

A tier: Getzlaf (1985), Gibson
B tier: Fowler,Lindholm,Montour
B2 tier: Kase,Henrique (1989)
C tier: everyone else not named Kesler (1984)&Perry (1985), who are beyond trash

Top young guns:
Troy Terry(F),Maxime Comtois(F),Isac Lundeström(F),Sam Steel(F),Max Jones(F),Marcus Pettersson(D)

Why does everyone think Perry is beyond trash/not an NHL level player? It's unknown what he is now, but he was still a 50 point player up until last year playing on a bad knee (apparently). Yes he's overpaid, yes he isn't close to what he was before... but he was still an NHL level player, and even a decent/good middle 6 player. Kesler has been bad for the most part (outside of the odd shift or game here or there), but saying Perry was on that level of bad is just hating the player. He was about $3-$3.5 mil overpaid, that's about it.

Saying he is not considering coaching change means nothing. Lots of coaches have been fired soon after getting a public vote of confidence from the GM.

1 hip surgery is like a 2 year recovery.

2 surgeries?

 

[Osprey]

It looks like Anaheim is doing the tank properly. I wish that LA would take some pointers before it's too late.

The cycle of Randy continues. I wonder what team is his next victim...

Doesn’t he have to go to Toronto to hit for the cycle?

 

[robertmac43]

I guess that would make sense but I was hoping he could just go to a different team thats falling from their prime days.... maybe St Louis :p

I was going to say this as well.

 

[Rubi]

The only reason the Ducks have lost 11 in a row is because they haven't played the Flames at home recently. If there ever was a Duck slumpbuster it's the Flames. Unfortunately the next Ducks home game against the Flames is April 3.
Sorry.

 

[pbgoalie]

He is just doing what he's told.

I know.......his misuse last year and so far this season is honestly staggering.

Not only is he not looking like he can play, he’s probably getting run in to the ground again
