Reverse chicken?

I think I am a pretty good fan but not as good as you guys lol. Sounds like things are becoming as painful as last year

We don’t have a large enough fan base to pick and choose lol. We’re all in this together; honestly you’re smarter than us for not watching this

 

[goosemooseduck]

Game over. No more pain tonight.

Meh these types of painful seasons are what makes the 03/07 type seasons so much better.

Gulls are playing tonight. 0-0 in the first. Shots: Gulls 11, Wild 5.

I don't think Cronin is an NHL caliber head coach.

I don't think Cronin is an NHL caliber head coach.

I think you start by giving him capable assistant coaches, a roster that is capable of scoring, and benefit that a lot of the issues are injury/talent related

We had a good 1st period. The 2nd period with penalties, though... tough. We wore down. Not enough offensive weapons at the moment. Terry and Mac were MIA in this game.

Everybody barf up some chicken.

The toughest part of these games are the phantom penalties, at times, and then the lack of getting obvious calls.

I can a little too upset if I keep watching. I can usually accept poor play, up to a point, but the officiating causes me to turn off the game.

Terry has had a tough year, but I’ll look up PLD’s numbers and contract and then I don’t feel as bad.

Despite Strome and Killorn contracts, worst PV move was trading Des.

We might be losing as much, but we wouldn’t get bullied as much. At least we would get a pound of flesh for the antics our young players have to endure.

Theres just nothing really keeping me invested at this point. This year was supposed to be all about the young players progressing and everyone has missed significant time with injuries (save for Mac who looks like he should be on the shelf right now). Otherwise, it’s just watching generic 4th line muckers and grinders, and though they’re trying, it’s a chore to get through these games

There isn't a lot of high event hockey this year. The first period was boring and nearly put me to sleep, but it was a 0-0 game. Then the penalties came and Tampa put us away.

At least next year, we're gonna be adding Cutter's offense and speed. That's so far away, though.

 

[FiveTacos]

Wtf is the plan on our powerplay

 

[Ducks DVM]

The Gulls are lassoing their ice girls at intermission.

 

[pbgoalie]

My shithead 3 year old just threw a toy through the TV. I was on the fence whether I was going to watch anyway

Leo fan I guess?

 

[duckaroosky]

I hope they left Killorn at the arena.

 

[pbgoalie]

One day Fowler will take a calculated risk to step up and keep a puck in the zone.

BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

Or
Fowler will attempt the step up and keep the puck, the puck temporarily transforms in to an o jest with no mass, passes right through him and leads to a break the other way

 

[pbgoalie]

I rather they got the shooting opportunity they got then get another penalty against this team. A lot of game left for a make up clean hit.

Remember when the response for a big,clean hit would be a huge hit on one their good players? Instead of this garbage retaliation against a good play

 

[pbgoalie]

If you think sending a message or standing up for team mates is dumb then we have nothing more to talk about it

That would work out well for the rest of us

 

[Dirk316]

But at least now the Lightning know we're tough guys who won't get pushed around! And I'm sure Leason will magically recover because of Groulx's acts of support.

This right here is a typical Ducks fan that ownership loves. Let's gently beg opposing players not to hurt us

This is your take-away from the sequence of events that occured here?

Unfortunately this is the Ducks fan base

 

[pbgoalie]

Don’t get scored against apparently. Zero attempt to drive play

I miss it, I do. But this team really isn't it anymore. Same for most of the league times have changed.
