Then we'd need someone like Tkachuk as well. We were able to be as we were because our top players (who are playing the most), were always in your face, especially if things didn't go their way.

I'm thankful they saved the one decent performance on the eastern Canada tour for the one game a year I get to see live - but man these were two abominations against the big market original six teams. Just a bad look for the franchise really, makes things look worse than they probably are. Or maybe they are exactly this bad, I don't know.

Well it’s the push for the playoffs. Teams in that push aren’t going to give the Ducks anything easy.
We’re seeing exactly what this team is made of=10 ply TP

Matthews has 48 goals in 52 games, can only dream of having a goal scorer like that
I wouldn’t read negatively into that at all. Muscle memory, law of attraction. Lots of good reasons to always celebrate a bit for any individual. When they interview him, he seems to always have a positivity about him. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was a pretty zen dude.

They abused us on the powerplay that’s for sure…. Having an elite goal scorer, an elite play maker and a guy like nylander who is a combination of both is a nice thing to have.
Marner and nylander control the game so we’ll and Matthews just knows how to put a puck in the back of the net, we’ll prob never get to enjoy the feeling of having a goal scorer like matthews(I guess teemu is prob the closest we’ll ever get)

That's pretty obvious. You join the Ducks fan club and then attend every meeting wearing you Kings sweater.

I joined a hockey fan club…. Which was the hfboards, I post in the ducks part of it as they are my favorite team to watch…. But I watch a lot of hockey… including the kings… I don’t actively hate the kings or sharks.
And I’m not sure what was stopping Verbeek from acquiring toughness in the offseason. The team had assets to spend and should have beenjj no in win now mode. If you spend too much time rebuilding you end up with a losing culture. The core players like Mctavish, Zegras, Terry, ect are getting losing fused into their DNA.

Honestly asking, what's the joke? I've always kind of wondered what was going on with your avatar.

I guess the joke was i always referred to myself as leader of the Gabe Vilardi fan club: ducks chapter on the kings forums. And the orginal picture is gabe vilardi back when he was #42.
its the head of my old avatar put in a kings uniform.

So you like it when a GM is delusional and has no grasp on reality (or perhaps is lying to you)? Because that was Murray in his final years - totally unwilling to commit to a rebuild and instead chasing first round playoff exits with an aging core.
And you have created a false dichotomy. Being realistic in a team goal (playoffs were a reach this year under the best of circumstances) does not in any way mean that games like this are "part of a plan" or in any way acceptable.
At the end, there was a lot wrong with Murray's thinking. Part of the reason the ducks are so bad currently is that Murray failed to rip the band aid on a rebuild.
The team that crushed us last night drafted Matthews (first overall) and Marner (4th) in successive years. They also ice Nylander (8th) and in most games Reilly (5th). And then they signed Tavares (another first overall elite talent).
Sneaking into the playoffs gets you mid or lower round picks. That is not the way to rebuild.
