Hopefully it won't be like the Angels, and the team realizing they need a change in coaching 10 years later.

That was just filthy by Rakell.  

[UndertheHalo]

Lindholm fu*cked up that play massively. 

As always, underwhelming play from Hampuis Lindholm.

This team is so awful, their fundamentals are completely lacking.

I am not at all surprised either, you have a dinosaur in charge trying to lead a team to play in a system he has no idea about.

[gotbeer]

I think it's time to go to Dallas. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dallas Eakins that is.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Randy gave the new system the preseason and the first few games in. When he saw all the mistakes and his lack of control over the system, he pulled back to his comfort zone. I don't think he's going to be able to change to a faster moving game.

And Getzlaf, I think he pretty much kills the new style of play also.

Too bad. Because with all the mistakes, it was still working. We we're winning.

Even pond hockey works better for this team than slow, methodical death.

[deepdrive]

Larrson is the new Theodore. I don't know where he is going to end up (Seattle?), But he's probably toast as long as Randy is around.

And for Ritchie, they were commenting about how he looks better, skates better and is willing to go to the front of the net. The problem is he doesn't have the mental or talent ability to do much when he's there.

Prior to the game they had their light the lamp picks. After the pick someone (I think it was Kent French) said something about no one picking Ritchie.  I just laughed. I hope he was being somewhat sarcastic. 

How much better off would we be with Pat Maroon for three years than Ritchie?

A wise thought passed my way.

[nate]

I miss Maroon too.

I thought Richie was fine in his game back.

The whole team just looks lost, like they are torn between two systems.

Time to dump RC and BM.  Need some fresh life breathed into the org.

[UndertheHalo]

All they’re doing is dump and chase but....faster!  That’s why they F*ck up constantly turning the puck over and are terrible at connecting passes.  That’s why the possession stats are horrible.  Also why the possession eye test is horrible.  They are horrible at it.  Have to control the puck sometimes to win games.  

Carlyle is incapable if coaching a scheme that is competitive in the league now.

Watch the next time Kings & Ducks play there is 0 shots on goal from both sides & the game is decided in a shootout lol

Quick & Gibson get so bored they start tweeting to each other.

[gotbeer]

Lundestrom should not fight.  lol.

Getz is in best mode tonight.

[gotbeer]

Theme of this season so far.  Other team on a breakaway and scores.

On the flip side, like usual, Ducks on a breakaway and looks inept.

[gotbeer]

So pathetic.  So many Ducks just standing around.  Aberg can go away to the AHL.

[gotbeer]

This game is over.  Have Miller start the 3rd.  And Eakins start the next game.

[tennischmp]

Gibson must be kicking himself for signing that extension. I feel bad for him

[gotbeer]

Must be nice to have a team that holds coaches accountable.  Instead everyone is sleeping like a baby in Duck land.

 

[gotbeer]

 

[gotbeer]

Ducks ask too much of Gibson, and Getzlaf isn’t happy

Just take the million dollars from one dumpster dive and add it to the $5M Silferberg thinks he should get each year.

You can get a pretty decent scorer for $6M.

Add Ritchie at $1.5 million.  And you can come close to meeting Nylanders asking price.  Probably Stone's too.

I'd take Nylander, isn't he a better skater than Stone ? Either team is a fit because they have decent trade history with the Ducks.

Nylander would be a good center replacement after the Getzlaf days.  The big gamble with Nylander is that he is still young.  Don't know if he is going to progress, regress or stay the same.  Stone would fit perfectly, since he is a two way player, and give scoring punch on the Kesler line.  

[gotbeer]

Lol at Kane skating around Montour.  This team needs a coaching change at minimum.  

[gotbeer]

At intermission, it's going to be something like Sharks SOG 20.  Scoring chances 18.
