I can't even find a gif to explain how low this feels.

I think he’s a smart guy without much to work with, but the rhetoric doesn’t seem to match the results.

I don’t mind Cronin so far and don’t think he should be fired but it’s getting a little annoying how seemingly unwilling he is to trying new combos despite losing 24 out of the last 30.

Terry and McTavish have made some nice plays on the PP together, why not try it?
Put Henrique and Vatrano with Leo

I’m a Ranger fan but the overacting by Fox was embarrassing

Oops. Sorry bout that last post. Wrong thread haha

 

[Henrique Iglesias]

Terry is this teams best player

Has his warts but man I have a hard time blaming him for much…

Really….I find him incredibly frustrating to watch. He loves to skate into traffic. Turns the puck over numerous times every game trying to stick handle through everybody. Tries to slow the game down when we should be pushing the pace.

He would be much more effective if he just simplified things. The end of today’s game was a perfect example. You don’t need to get a perfect shot. You just need to get the puck to the net and hope the net front guys can score an ugly one.

I actually don’t know who I would say is our best player, but I do know if I had to choose one to go between Carlsson, McTavish, and Terry….Troys out the door.

lost a step and can't handle all those minutes anymore

 

[pbgoalie]

I agree

Wrong thread but Lord that was bad

Was listening on tunein at the very end. Carroll said it was mctavish’s first goal since Jan 9th and made it sound like that was some super long period of time lol. It’s literally the same road trip still. Have always found Carroll to be (very) overrated by fans.

First goal or first point since Jan 9th? Before Mac's back injury and then going on IR, the longest he's gone without scoring a point was two games. Mac hasn't been the same despite being cleared to play medically. Four games without scoring a point for Mac is long when compared to pre-injury Mac this season.

Mac's goal this game wasn't his usual blister of a one-timer, but a well placed wrister. The Jan 9th goal was a backhand goal. He's shooting like he's running on fumes. Poor Mac is mostly broken, but not all broken.

I wonder how many EN goals against has Fowler been on the ice this season. Feels like a lot.

Can’t imagine being @Leonardo87 staying up til 1 in the morning to watch both his teams throw up stinkers like that. At least he’ll be happy with the outcome tomorrow

I found a meme:

 

[Ducks DVM]

McTavish & Strome : -3
Vatrano (All Star): -4
Fowler: -5 (on ice for all goals)

The sad thing is you can’t fault Fowler on any of the goals.

Goal 1 - Fowler pushed forward, no forward covered for him, comedy ensued.
Goal 2 - Fowler tied up his man’s stick in the crease, Johnston didn’t cover his man who got the puck.
Goal 3 - Fowler covered the open wing, LaCombe…just sorta fell next to the puck carrier, Gibson needs to make a save
Goal 4 - Fowler tied up his man’s stick, puck shot in off McTavish.
Goal 5 - Fowler blocked the shot at the open net at the blue line, Vatrano took the wrong line and didn’t get to the missed shot.

But he still isn't good. oh sad panda.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

How do you not find a way to put McTavish on the ice at the end? dude has an incredible shot and it finally lead to a goal and hes sitting on the bench for the final 2.

bozo coaching tonight.

 

[JAHV]

I know he had the snipe of a goal, but McTavish has looked really bad lately. He can't maintain possession of a puck to save his life.

And I agree with others that Terry is incredibly frustrating. He's just got to shoot the puck.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Gibby is not going any where this year or any other year. We will have him for the duration.

John

Yeah, a lot of people shit on Gibson over the years but were really off the mark.

This season he has been downright rotten. Even if the team is bad, there's no justifying getting distracted during play and yelling at the other team or yelling at the ref. This is the NHL not a beer league.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Only watched the highlights, but can't believe Sharks scored on 3 consecutive shots after having only 4 shots through 35 minutes. That's ridiculous.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Idk why I woke up and finished the 2nd and 3rd

At least Henrique has kinda heated up before the deadline…

Are we allowed to say fowler and Gibson are just not good anymore

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I fell asleep early first period, no ragrets this morning

 

[Trojans86]

How did Leo look?

 

[ScarTroy]

How did Leo look?

Had some decent plays but overall his timing and execution seemed off.

 

[Arthuros]

Had some decent plays but overall his timing and execution seemed off.

Not surprising - he has zero consistency on his left and a play-killer on his right, so he's kinda trying anything that might work.

 

[snowave]

Game sucked. I think I'm gonna take some time off from the Ducks, they're just so bad.

p.s. I had to watch to the Sharks feed. I forgot that those guys are actually pretty good and not annoying to listen to. They even made some jokes about their own team being bad.
