Former Ducks 2022

[Arthuros]

You're not about to gaslight me into thinking he is a legitimate top-6 forward.

Would be crazy if he got 60 points. The Bruins have some good forwards but it isn’t a better group than we had when we were good. I’m starting to wonder if various coaching regimes just weren’t able to unlock his offense which may have been there all along

Did we ever give him a serious look at our top PP unit? I only remember him getting shoved onto the second unit with whatever offensive misfits we had.

Long time ago i read that Nik Lidstrom though very highly of Hampus Lindholm of him having alot of potential, now he's living up to that potential Lidstrom saw in him. Maybe if the Ducks let him develop his offense more we'd have seen him break out in 2016-2017 season because he already was playing the tough match ups in 2015-16 when he was paired with Beauch for the whole season. Then they let Beauch go because he blew a playoff game and then came the Lindholm/Manson pairing.

I always thought that Lindholm had the same potential. It seemed like we always ended up putting him in a role of babysitter rather then treating him like someone who could have been a legit #1 defender.

I feel like Lindholm never worked on our pp. His ability to toe the blue line and make passes always seemed lacking.

That’s Fowler. Lindholm had the best complementary players between the two by far, (Fowler got moved to his off side to play with Beauchemin).

It’s sad that we were never deep enough to be able to play Lindholm and Fowler together. Would have been an interesting top pairing offensively.

Boston #1 and that was without McAvoy in the lineup lol

It was written in the Duck constitution that Fowler would run the first PP.

3 more assists for Lindholm

Watching these guys thrive in other places just goes to show how comically bad we’ve been the past 5 years and that coaching is an issue

I think it was a failure all around by management. We went from having the best pipeline for young defencemen...and then we traded all of them with no adequate replacements.

30% above us lol

I think eakins system is really awful... and part of the reason you saw guys like Lindholm/Manson look iffy at best.

As for Mahura/Montour/Theodore etc, we prob wernt patient enough with any of them really.

Also just seemed like we chose to go with Lindholm + fowler on left side, and theodore was really never going to get a shot here, but how we lost him was dumb

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Lindholm 4 goals, 13 assist in 16 games
Montour 4 goals, 11 assist in 13 games
Theodore 3 goals, 8 assist in 16 games

Our defense combined(all of them not just top 6) 1 goal, 20 assist in 15 games

playing for winners helps out a lot too

hard to be motivated when you're playing for a cellar dwellar in the empty honda center every night

Don't

Jacob Larsson will apparently play for Ottawa tonight. If he becomes an NHL player for them I am going to lose it.

He got more of a chance here than Mahura, so don't be surprised.

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Just saw him commit a double minor for high sticking behind his own net on his first shift tonight.

He has a turnover leading to a goal against tonight. Can't say I've really paid close attention to the game though

Poor Larsson, always a day late and a krona short.

We did pair Fowler and Lindholm together and it wasn't good. Both had the green light to jump into the offense, but unfortunately, both did at the same time. It's not a great pairing b/c the roles for both players are the same such as they are the lead in their pairing. It's like Fowler and Kulikov pairing, it just doesn't work.

I don't recall that at all. My recollection is that they had very limited minutes together and when they were they were very dominant.

Hah, I was about to say that they had such limited minutes that I couldn't get a read on if they actually had any chemistry at all. Just about everywhere on the spectrum of opinions.

I think they generally were only together in empty net situations, though. A competent squad would look good 6-on-5 most of the time, so I don't really put too much stock into how pairings perform under those circumstances.
