[DuckDuckGetz]

on a positive note, it's crazy how much more even these games look when the bullshit calls go both ways

 

[Ducks DVM]

3 stars

1 - Zegras
2 - Larkin
3 - Henrique

 

[goosemooseduck]

8 games home stand and 1 win. F that.

 

[slippingsloth]

I still want to see the second red wings goald

 

[Arthuros]

This is almost worse watching than last season.

Last season you knew going in we were pathetic. This season is just innovative in causing Ducks fan suffering.

What was the homestand record?

1-6-1

 

[HanSolo]

Bummer. On the bright side I was watching at a family party and my 6 year old nephew plopped down and watched the whole third asking a lot of questions about hockey so that was a cool little family moment. Nice to see Z get on the board a couple times.

this is absolutely worse to watch than last season.

and no, im not interested in an essay response from you know who about how i should be grateful for these losses instead.

Yep. The lack of a competent PP is destroying this team. They stand around and pass, pass, pass and eventually lose the puck. It’s awful.

No one goes to the hard areas of the ice in the crease. And on the rare occasions they actually get to the slot, they immediately pass it to shoot from no angle. It’s incredible

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Sure we're losing but we're building a winning culture with good habits!

1-6-1

Things need to change.. the only way this management actually does something if fans just stop going to games..

1-6-1

Yikes

Last season we knew we were gonna lose. This season we are finding ways to lose.

Hows he at running a powerplay?

A small part of me almost misses Eakins…

I think I might need to get some help

What’s crazy is these are professional players who constantly pass up good shots for bad ones or no shot at all. It’s mind boggling.

 

[Arthuros]

"Why aren't they shooting the puck?"

"Kid, you might be onto something."

Maybe they have been told by Verbeek to tank? I mean wtf else could it be? How is this shit acceptable?

I bet he is probably better at drawing on a white board than Newell Brown too

 

[HanSolo]

Odds are pretty good that he'd be better than Brown.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

I feel bad for gudas.. Dude is a heart and sould player. Most of our vets are not.

 

[pbgoalie]

Well
At the beginning gif the yesr, a new coach and what looked a more dynamic team.
Now
Pp still is comically bad
Basic coverages still suck
Passing still sucks
Use of silfv is a joke

I’m basically done with this coaching group.

 

[DuckRogers10]

could have just collected the puck instead of trying to rim it around when no one was there...

They do it all the Fing time

 

[Ducks DVM]

Top line looked decent. 4th line looked decent.

Nobody else has any chemistry.

Killorn spaces out good plays with fails.

Vatrano needs to be on a line where he is fed pucks and has no other responsibilities.

McTavish has been bad since returning from injury. Slow, gets knocked down, tends toward stupid penalties, and isn’t reading where the play is going a lot of the time.

 

[duckaroosky]

The whining from the red wing fans on the main boards was pretty hilarious. If Larkin is so fragile he can't take shots when in front of the net then maybe he should be on IR. Soft.

Zegs is back, and looking to burn down their villages.
