Watching the ducks try to put together a play gives me the same feeling as being in a dream where you’re hitting something and it just has zero power lol

There’s a two part answer to that

Sure, we may be number 1 at scouting, but do we develop that talent and make it successful? It’s doubtful

Burke/Murray era prior to the 2019 rebuild was being playoff bound 10 times out of 13 seasons, which includes a Stanley Cup, 3 Western Conf finals, and five consecutive Pacific Div titles.

In 2021-22, Murray's team was 3rd in the Pacific when Verbeek took over in Feb. Murray was gone in early November. Lots of youths helping to get to 3rd in the Pacific in Terry, Z, Drysdale, Lundy, but they also had some talented vets to go along with.

Unfortuantely, Verbeek decided to do a reset rebuild. We still possess high end talent youths, but we lack the appropriate vets under Verbeek. Drysdale helped facilitate a trade for top-5 prospect Cutter Gauthier.

There's the rest of the team that Verbeek is mismanaging, but the scouting group has been tops.

Speaking of 2-0, St. Cloud is up 2-0 on Western Michigan in the middle of the 2nd period. Colangelo is on Western Michigan. It's game 1 of a best of 3 series in the first leg of the NCHC conference championship.

No matter what. Lacombe has to make at least 1 egregious turnover. He no matter how well he plays, always at least 1. It’s why our Gm isn’t long on him

Just cracked open my first beer of the night but this broadcast quality is making me feel like I’m already drunk. Is it just me?
