[TheGoodShepard]

LOL wow. What a break.

I can't believe this is a one-goal game.

 

[Magnus the Duck]

I'm shocked, they score

 

[duckaroosky]

Which one?

Both, they can fight over what music to play on the radio.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

It will be a travesty if Vatanen is traded because of Bieksa.

 

[ducks8]

Game

 

[TheGoodShepard]

Oh my god, Hampus. Brain cramp.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Well, I picked a great time to finish appointments and sit down.

 

[Tecumseh]

Actually, no. They had Kariya and Selanne. They sucked, but they were fun to watch on a lot of nights.

You also had zero expectations beyond that. If they won, it was awesome, but you just expected hockey.

I mean, we have a lot of young talent in the system and on the team. Gibson, Lindholm, Fowler, Vatanen, Ritchie, Montour. You're right the teams in the '90s had Selanne and Kariya so there must have been at least a little excitement there. This team just loses in the most boring fashion possible. I'm hoping Bieksa's contract doesn't cost us any RFAs. Hell, I might come to fear that from Getzlaf if he can't ever find where his talent went.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

this team has to be blown up but i am afraid bob will make another stupid move

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I wasn't a hockey fan until the 2000s. Is this what it felt like to be a Ducks fan in the '90s?

No, because they weren't supposed to be good then. So everything was gravy.

I'm more entertained reading SpaceX tweets than watching this.

 

[Reveille1984]

Does any team make direct passes to the opposition more than us? Has somebody replaced our sticks with slabs of recycled cardboard?

 

[Tecumseh]

I'm hoping to God that Henry Samueli takes the initiative and cleans house completely after this season. Don't think he will but it's a nice thing to picture.

 

[Exit Dose]

The team doesn't have to be blown up. The difference between the team winning again isn't in overturning a major chunk of the roster. We're talking probably 2 or 3 changes at most. One of which looks like it will be taken care of internally when Ritchie is ready for regular starts up here. Getzlaf is having a bad season, but there's no reason to think he's incapable of bouncing back next year.

 

[evomacky]

its like one big gongshow. the heck are the boys doing?

 

[Reveille1984]

Kind of hard to blow up a team with a bunch of mediocre overpaid dudes. The only guys with trade value are the young defenders that we need to develop for the future.

 

[Elvs]

We scored two goals in just one game. We should celebrate this!

I've never seen him this bad. To me, there's no comparison between him this year and 2011-12. There's got to be a structural problem with the team if they really are this bad. Firing a coach or making a trade for that elusive top 6 winger won't do much good.

Head straight to Legends, do not stop to watch.

That's exactly where I'm at. This team is done for this year. It needs to be analyzed and seriously reconstructed this summer.

 

[Elvs]

This Ducks team.

 

[illpucks]

That was ********. WTF was that

 

[Reveille1984]

Ducks the ultimate slumpbusters
