Speculation: Fire Rob Blake Blow it Up Offseason Thread (update: Robitaille, Blake and Hiller stay)

[Raccoon Jesus]

Was gonna say I suppose we should be happy we expanded our search to *checks map* a 30 mile radius but it turns out we didn't

It would be funny if it wasn't us

Since you are admittedly crazy I am going to read this as the opposite of what you posted.

Here is my google translated version for the laypeople:

"f*** man as Ducks Fans...Weve wanted him to get promoted and wear a cape for a while.. Ourpp and pk have been viagra'd the last 2 years.. f*** man, I can't believe he left Anaheim

The whole time he was here, I was like

See it how you will. But truth is... We have wanted wanted him out for a while

 

[GameNight]

I hope they lose every single game. Just get it over with.

Newell Brown is the Ducks' Jamie Kompon.

 

[Telos]

Pretty sure be coached our powerplay…. And our power play is awful

Good luck

Sounds like he should fit right in.

You mean a traditional rebuild actually works?

If "Blake knows it too", why didn't he attempt to construct his team in a similar way?



There are metrics to judge defensive ability, you could also just watch the games or listen to what those who have played with or against him and those who coached him or against him.

I would have thought that by now we wouldn't be having debates about how good Faber is, with what he's done...

D+1 - B10 Freshman of the year + dominant defensive performance and WJC gold
D+2 - B10 defenseman of the year + US Olympic team at 19
D+3 - Repeat B10 defenseman of the year + jumping right to NHL playoffs
D+4 - Calder Trophy finalist

Maybe if he wins the Norris next season you can be fully converted.

I don't know how you don't see a Charlie McAvoy clone.

I'm not saying he's not good, What the actual f***?

I asked what metrics are you going to use to determine if he's better next year than this year, or we just going to go off of the eye test?

McAvoy is apparently much more offensive than Faber, (even with Faber's 50 points etc)

Just curious, did you have 15 margaritas with lunch?

Probably would have resulted in a better afternoon.....

Lol As ducks fans.. Weve wanted him out for a while.. Our pp and pk has been dead least in the last 2 years.. Soo good luck

Most of us feel like this ship needs to fully sink before we can get back on the right track so.... yay? f*** idk

Newell Brown is the Ducks' Jamie Kompon.

I miss the Jamie Kompon drinking games I used to play back in the day.

Take a shot every time he says one of these things.

"Get pucks in deep"
"Throw pucks at the net"
"Greasy goals"
"Establish the forecheck"

4 shots in 30 seconds was always fun.

 

[HanSolo]

RIP LA's special teams. I genuinely feel bad. Not here to troll, but, bad hire.

Forget if that was before or after PRIDE POWER PASSION

 

[AbsentMojo]

LAK is excellent at mediocrity... or mediocre at excellence - however you want to perceive it. When you're not trying to be great, you make decisions based on other criteria. I wonder what that criteria was in this case.

 

[Lt Dan]

Before.

Serious Hockey was their response to the Ducks entering the league

 

[DoktorJeep]

Shocked it wasn’t Craig Johnson.

 

[Buddy The Elf]

After I posted I thought of a great last name joke
"Downtown Newell Brown"

I like it! I think the Kings should play Metallica's "Newell" whenever they go on the powerplay. Show a picture of him on the Jumbotron with fire blowing out his ears. I think it would really win the crowd over.

this is my exact face watching Kings games the past few years, he'll fit right in

Can someone photo shop flames coming out of his ears? I want to make that my new avatar. I haven't changed it in over 10 years.

He'll be joining soon, don't worry

Trust me the 5th compartment is filling with water. Adding Fiala and Dubois, hanging onto Kopitar and Doughty...they are the pumps. The pumps only buy you time. Robitaille is Ismay, he will find a lifeboat even if he has to screw over someone else.

 

[BigKing]

Why stray from the uninspiring offseason now?

No surprise that Bluc would like a guy that has somehow had three different stints as an assistant with the Ducks. That is exactly the kind of shit they've been pulling in LA since Luc first returned in 1997-'98.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Doesn't really matter who the assistant coach is so long as Kopitar and Doughty are out there killing the Kings when they have the man-advantage.

 

[Little Psycho]

If we needed another failure of a pp coach we could have called up Strum.

I really hope they tank in ticket sales this year

Newell Brown is the Ducks' Jamie Kompon.

No. He’s now our Jamie Kompon.

The "emperor" has no clothes.. Ie Luc's robe untied
