Post-Game Talk: Post Mortem Analysis

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Can somebody translate this quote from Bob? Was Bob actually pulling for a better draft pick?

“I think it’s remarkable that we made the playoffs. But in making the playoffs, did we screw up some other things? That’s where I’m trying to get my head around. Sometimes it’s better to miss (the playoffs)."

Yeah, I noticed it too and thought it was a bit of an odd comment. Maybe he was going for a semi-tank (which failed) with his deadline acquisitions.

Yeah, those acquisitions sure would play into that idea.

 

[snarktacular]

Damn it, Carlyle double failed! He failed to get a better draft pick and he failed to win a series!

He failed to even win a single game.

I think that's just Bob reacting to Dale Tallon, who called to "congratulate" him for making the playoffs yet again...

“I talked to (Florida GM Dale Tallon) this morning and he says look at you and look at me. My pick’s a lot better than yours right now. I said, ‘You’re bloody right it is.’ Those are the things that you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. It’s just the way the game is. I’m confident in Randy.”

Yeah, well that whole exchange confused me too. No idea WTF either was talking about.

I did, unfortunately, clearly understand “I’m confident in Randy”.

Yawney out. It's something I guess.

 

[duckaroosky]

Oh thank god... all our problems are solved!

 

[Ducks DVM]

So, they fired the guy probably least responsible for the way the season went. Probably blamed him for Montour tripping.

They should get rid of both. Our defense, for as talented as they are, gave up a million shots from high danger areas this season.

Yawney was awesome two years ago, don't know what happened.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Yeah, Yawney deserved the axe after this season. Whether he was directly responsible for the d-zone play or not, it was putrid and that was his area.

Who runs our PP? That guy really needs to go.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Just fire all the coaches

 

[AngelDuck]

What the hell has Konawlchuk done that has been a positive?

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I've never been a fan of Yawney, but this is just ridiculous. When does anybody in management take some responsibility in this organization? Not Bob? Not Randy? But Yawney?

Henry, these guys are a joke and are embarrassing your organization. Do something.

Montour must have pointed at Yawney.

 

[MMC]

Hope that clown Konowalchuk is next.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Yawney seemed pretty good with developing guys but also fits in with wanting to change how the defense plays. Could also be something of convenience if his deal was up, or are all assistants on one year deals? They never really say, I don't think.

Be interesting to see who replaces him. I wonder if they look at a guy with head coaching experience, maybe someone like Gulutzan?

 

[Paul4587]

The D system looked decent (not great but decent) until Carlyle took over. Not sure why Yawney pays the consequences for that.

 

[Paul4587]

Both those teams "star" forwards are also like 10 years younger than ours

Wheeler is basically the same age as Getzlaf.

Difference is their stars are flat out faster than our stars. Cogs is the only one in our top 9 I would say is fast, Kase is above average but not a butner. The rest are slow to average.

Somebody has to be held “accountable”.

Kase is a weird one. Sometimes he looks flat-out fast, sometimes he looks average. I think he has serious wheels but it's not a cornerstone of his game the way it is for Cogs, Kase relies more on his hands in tight but can rip when he wants to.

 

[Terry Yake]

lols yawney is the scapegoat for the 4 game sweep

great job BM

 

[ZzZz]

Yawney was my favorite guy behind the Ducks bench

Yawney will be an assistant coach in the NHL again.

 

[AngelDuck]

I think BM is going to have to go down with the ship at this point. No big changes happen until the Samueli's sack up and move on from Bob. When that will happen, who knows.

You can't let him pick another coach IMO
