GDT: Game 5: Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings, 5pm PT

[Zegs2sendhelp]

This is the kind of game where you really have to question what in the f*** the coaches are doing at practice that the team is this inept at basic fundamentals under this kind of defensive pressure. I mean we have what one SOG in the last half hour of game time? I gave Cronin a pass. Unless it comes out that the whole team is playing through a flu, I don't see how you can come to any conclusion aside from he is an incompetent coach. We legitimately look worse than last year and I did not think that was possible.

Ya I think this group needs a diff type of coach Eakins/Cronin ain’t it.

Prob need a vet nhl coach

 

[Ducks DVM]

Brutal by Cam with a fabulous recovery at least

 

[JAHV]

Fowler...

 

[Mr Rogers]

basic fundamentals are just so concerning. Passing, handling of pucks, battles

 

[JAHV]

Zegras has been awful this game.

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

Never had a flu in my life. So I apologize to beavis and all of you who have had one. Didn’t know about the long recovery time

I envy you

 

[HanSolo]

Zegras has been awful this game.

Everyone but Dostal has been awful.

 

[Vaakou]

They are allergic to the slot

Its much cozyer in the corners

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Everyone but Dostal has been awful.

Idk what your talking about

Johnston has had some very nice conversations

 

[ZegrassyKnoll]

These are the exact kinds of games why it was so important to name a captain.

Gudas needs to step up and get them all to wake the f*** up.

 

[JAHV]

It's nice that there's now a sense of urgency. It sucks that it's a bunch of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

 

[Boo Boo]

we are deep into players only meeting territory

I’ve been for a vet coach since day 1. When you cheap out and try and find the “ diamond in the rough “ 9-10x you just get shit

Fowler: “sooo what do you guys want to talk about?”

 

[HanSolo]

Fat lot of good such meeting run by Cronin would do lol

 

[The Duck Knight]

The orange jerseys are good looking but I think we went a step to far into traffic cone territory based on the way we are playing.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

What was Clune’s pedigree anyway? He was like a player development guy or something, right?

Do we not deserve a coach who’s, you know, COACHED before?

 

[cheesymc]

I think LaBush was right… group is done with Bonehead Cronin. There might be a temporary boost dumping him, but long term I just don’t trust Samueli spending to hire a bonafide coach, and I don’t think Verbeek would be willing to hire a non-beta coach since he is a control freak and wants to have more influence.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Players have to take responsibility for sure, but it’s hilarious just how bad the forecheck is despite it being the central component of Cronin’s system. They’re not even one-and-done, they’re dump and out

 

[JAHV]

I thought the first period was good. It's been hot garbage ever since.

 

[Boo Boo]

Fowler: “sooo what do you guys want to talk about?”

Very clever

 

[Ducks DVM]

Strome!

Queue false hope!

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Hey look, a goal

 

[HanSolo]

I thought the first period was good. It's been hot garbage ever since.

The first period wasn't good. It was just not as shit.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Lol figures
