Former Ducks Thread II: AKA Wild Bill is good

[Paul4587]

BB should have been fired. Whether Carlyle is the right coach to replace him or not remains to be seen.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Wild are not as good or as talented as their regular season score implied.

Yeah, I really don't think that was the case at all.

On bizarro HFBoards it was the case.

Agreed.

We won another division title and are leading our series 1-0 while BB's Wild is down 0-2. Don't miss BB at all and glad he is gone.

 

[terranraida]

Darryl Sutter is available now

 

[Ducks in a row]

Now BB Wild are down 0-3 to the Blues

 

[Hockey Duckie]

The bolded is why.

For me, it was hiring RC as well. BB had to go. Four different seasons all ending the exact same way. Something just had to change and BB was the most expendable b/c we can't trade away our roster. No need to continue the definition of insanity.

 

[Ducks in a row]

BB's Wild eliminated in round 1 in 5 games.

Zero surprise. BB is what he is, a great regular season coach unable to elevate the level of his players when it really matters.

In my opinion, Wild over performed during regular season. They just weren't that good. Very similar to CBJ. Don't think any coach had mattered in Wild, even if I shed no tears for BB.

That's pretty much it, they overachieved and ran out of talent in PO.

Sounds like the same thing have heard people use to excuse BB before hmm...

Regular season and playoffs are different. In the playoffs you play the same team over and over again until someone wins 4 games. You watch video of the opposing team and try to make plans to beat them. You have to make adjustments over a series. In the regular season you can be playing on back to back days against different teams not having the time to make plans against a team you just play your game. BB teams do well in the regular season not so well in the playoffs it isn't because his team talent just isn't that good. It takes talent to do so well in the regular season. Worse teams then this Wild team have done much better in the playoffs before. BB is responsible for his team failures in the playoffs with the Capitals,Ducks and now Wild.

One thing the Wild board stated was that beginning in February Bruce started shuffling lines and they never got the chemistry back. We all remember how Bruce couldn't leave any of the lines alone, no matter how well they were going, that is until the WCF, when he was paralyzed to make any adjustments to counter the Blackhawks.

I believe that was one of the problems Teemu had with him as well.
And yeah, I really feel more comfortable with Randys approach rather than Bruce`s, who just juggles until you can`t see reasoning behind that juggling anymore. It`s just like counterattacking the oppositions coachs attempt to line match...

 

[70sSanO]

It was nice to see Bobby Ryan really step it up on the playoffs after coming back from his recurring wrist injury. He had 4 goals (2 GW) and 3 assists, one was the primary series winning OT goal.

Not sure if this was posted before, but Maroon posted a video of his dog rubbing its ass on his Ducks jersey. I'm glad he's gone now, such a ****** thing to do.

Knowing Maroon it's probably his own jersey.

Wouldn't surprise me. He seems to do whatever he can distance himself from the organization that made him relevant. You would think he would have some respect for the team that gave him a chance to actually be ab NHL player.

very mature of him

i never liked him when he was with the ducks and i sure as hell don't like him now that he's an oiler. never understood the love for him from a majority of the fanbase. guy can go screw himself

 

[Magnus the Duck]

When he starts to show off his fat lazy self again in Oilers, they too will get rid of him.

 

[Terry Yake]

he's too stupid to realize he'd still be playing roller hockey in missouri if it wasn't for the ducks

 

[mightyquack]

I never got the love for Maroon, guy literally sulked soon as he got demoted in line up and didn't give a **** anymore nor try to play his way back up the lineup. If it wasn't for the Ducks taking a flier on him years ago he would never have been an NHL player, but you would never have guessed that with his attitude.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

I laughed out loud when the terrible commentators on NBC said that Maroon also had great hands. When his flash in the pan dies out, Oilers will move up a better player to his position. Then later we will get traded for nothing.

 

[Paul4587]

Trading Maroon was a bad move but he's done a great job at making me hate him since he's gone. The guy might be the dumbest person in the whole league, he can barely utter a coherent sentence in interviews and posting videos of that kind of stuff is just flat out idiotic.

Made it a lot further than most in life

 

[Mr Rogers]

Only because the Ducks gave him a chance. It's pathetic for him to post something like that, but then again, he isn't smart enough to think it through
