The Official 2015-16 Anaheim Ducks Thread

-7.  And that is including 4 assists.  Oh do I really need to see if those assists were in garbage time? 

 

****ing disappeared in the playoffs.  he's supposed to be one of the nasties, and he needs to go to the god damn transgender bathroom. 

[gotbeer]

I can't watch this postgame.  **** giving Nashville Credit.  **** you Hebert. 

[tennischmp]

Your coach is now 1-7 in game 7s, most losses ever in league history.

 

Your third period intensity was impressive. 

Not having a lead once in the 4 game 7s with the Ducks says it all about him and his teams 

[gotbeer]

McLean needs to be the head coach next season.  Tubby can go measure stomaches with the Catchatore.

[Tank]

it would be a stunning thing if the ducks, kings, and blackhawks, the true heavyweights in the west, were all eliminated in the first round.

 

well, there ya go.

yeah, that's just an incredible thing.

[AngelsFaninGA]

well, there ya go.

 

Can the Ducks really be considered a heavyweight?

They measure the headcoaches.

If bb isn't fired I'd be pissed

[Pujols4MVP]

Trade for Babcock + prospects & picks in exchange for Andersen ?

Leafs got alot of rebuilding to do, they don't need Mike Babcock.

[gotbeer]

We have McLean.  He turned a crappy PP and PK into the best in the league.  I'd rather give him a shot, than a guy that went to Detroit for better pastures.

I dont really think this is on Boudreau.  If they get rid of him.  So be it.  Theres gonna be a lot of changes this off season.  I guess its time to switch over to the Angels entirely.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Kesler deserves so much better.

****ing Perry was atrocious. Where the **** was Rakell? Stewart? ****! What a disappointment. Jesus Christ this is disgusting.

[UndertheHalo]

I dont get the Kesler deserves better sentiment.  he's part of the team.  I love the player but I dont know why he would be singled out for any exemption.  Getzlaf deserved better.  Andersen deserved better.  Lots of guys played well.  Mostly Corey Perry was worthless the entire series.  They played poorly in 3 games this series.  Ultimately Games 1, 2, and 3 did them in.   They played their best game in game 7 and lost.  Thats hockey.

Are you kidding me? This is mostly on him. His teams don't come into game 7s with the intensity needed. The Ducks were outscored 7-0 in the 1st periods of the 3 game 7s he was coaching. They didn't score 1 first period goal and never had a lead. And twice they were down 0-2 to start the series. First Kings and now Preds.

Its about what another coach could do differently than what Boudreau did, he did do somethings that either worked or didn't work.

He moves players up & down lines too much, makes it harder for there to be substained chemistry, many times he held back Lindholm's minutes even though he's the best possesion defenseman on the team.

Selanne called him out on some of this.

Well at leas the Ducks are a franchise thats willing to fire a coach, the Angels stand by Mike Scioscia every F##%@ing year.

[gotbeer]

****ing god damn losers.  They will probably sleep like babies tonight.  Probably with pacifiers.  Perry will skip the pacifier and suck his thumb.

Perhaps Perry wanted the playoffs to be over so he can go play the playoffs on NHL 16 on PS4.

 

He has been known to play the game.

Except for the part where Boudreau should've been fired 2 years ago. His penchant for choking was well known with the Caps and he should've had a much shorter leash.

I get it, you're pissed.  I'm as disappointed as you are ( probably more, I had like 80 bucks on the game tonight - big spender i know) but its silly to be so irrational about this.  Other then its game number 7 in the series and we lost, theres not really any pattern or common thread between these games.  Different Ducks teams lost each one for different reasons.  I think more then anything, Bruce Boudreau is really, really unlucky.

[tennischmp]

Not for the first period, that dug them in a 2-0 hole. Not for the first 2 games which dog them in a 2-0 hole. 

 

To your above point, I see a pattern in the 3 game 7 loses. Digging themselves in holes to start the game in the 1st period as well as to start the series. 

[xboom28x]

BB starting Stoner and pairing him with Despres was mistake #1. Dropping McGinn to the 4th line was mistake #2.

 

BB isn't unlucky. It's a definite pattern. Look at his failures in the playoffs with the Caps.

 

This was the Ducks best game of the series? Are you kidding? What game were you watching? Ducks missed on a lot of center ice passes, failed to dump the puck in the offensive zone, refused to get in front of Rinne in the first period. Best game of the series?

[UndertheHalo]

I think it's coincidence. Boudreau maybe had his best coaching effort of his career this year. Like I said, if they think a new voice is needed so be it . It's unfortunate tho, Bruce is a good coach and if anyone deserves better it's him. Lots of guys on this roster disappeared for long stretches on him this season.

[Tank]

just saw a tweet that said the ducks have lost more game 7s at home in the last four years than the canadiens have lost in their entire history. Ouch.
