Too many men you mean?Hebert was in the intermission too. I don't want to rag on the new guy in charge too much but there are some very coachable issues plaguing this team right now.
If he’s trying to do what the coaches want and simply and failing, the coaches may well not feel he needs to be accountable for anything.It’s more about holding him accountable… in theory he figures it out and can play with the better talent again
Even more reason to take time off.And if the baby or the mother is having lingering effects from the pregnancy? Or she’s got post-partum depression? Or he just can’t shut off?
Hes not playing well, aside from the 3ish minutes per game he does, but I don’t get the vitriol and assumptions. Not saying that’s you.
We’re getting nothing from our Dmen right now from an offensive perspective as well. And team-wide our passing is just brutal, pucks constantly in skates of our guys or flat out getting picked off.
Happy holidays!Wife and I going to start to get pregnant for the first time ever this month. I’ve been slacking for months playing poker ( I’m a pro poker player) need to get serious. The ducks being this frustrating takes a toll on me that I can’t afford anymore. See you guys end of seAson. Happy holidays
I don’t think any changes are gonna happen until the trade deadline. Legit lottery teams don’t move OUT assets.Ugly. I know it's early and I know we've got injuries but I'm hoping Beeker starts looking at some moves soon.
Silfverberg and Jones both +1
Thats it for + territory.

this team is worse to watch than last season. the rookies that were looking good at the start of the season have started to hit a wall. no depth scoring, defense can't put up points (side note, why does Minty never shoot?), and the highest paid players are trash.

I feel like he’s had more impact than any of our veteran top players and at 18yoCarlsson isn't great more often than we like to admit. He makes a lot of flashy plays, but he also disappears for parts of many games, doesn’t always puck support well after the flashy plays, and is a non factor every 3-4 games. He’s only really played a couple of complete games this year IMO.

I would agree and would also add that we do a horrible job of getting the puck to the “home plate” area in the offensive zone. We spend too much time on the perimeter without creating anything of substance offensively. I think the solutions to that are a healthier lineup and throwing pucks at the net. We need to be ok with scoring ugly goals.Right now the two biggest problems for me are general team speed and passing execution. We rarely get separation thru the neutral zone - backcheckers always catching up to strip - and our bad passing only exacerbates that and in some ways might be caused by lack of speed.
He makes his fair share of mistakes, especially at the blue line. That’s to be expected though, he’s a kid still trying to figure out the timing of the NHL level. I’m not frustrated with Carlsson going invisible, this is a tough league and he’s learning.I feel like he’s had more impact than any of our veteran top players and at 18yo
Invisible also means nothing glaringly bad too?
Compared to Terry, Fowler, Killorn less mistakes is t bad for a kid
Any good team would be really hamstrung without 3 of their top players (literally saw it tonight on that Jets 5 min penalty without Connor or Scheiffele).
And even at our healthiest I’m not sure I’d call us a good team. Winning games without guys like Z, McTavish and Drysdale honestly just comes down to grit and puck luck and it seems like we never have those at the same time.
I really think the 3 of them returning won’t just make us a better team but a completely different team. Their absence is a massive hole for our roster. Not that we’ll be amazing but we’ll be cohesive.
Why? What vet do you trade that makes a difference?At this point a move needs to be made and that might involve a veteran being shipped out. Something needs to change.
We'll you make the trade to shakeup the team. It's either that or the coach gets cannedWhy? What vet do you trade that makes a difference?
No trade is going to make a difference, and no point in losing a trade to shakeup a team that’s still rebuilding. And Cronin ain’t going anywhere, he has earned way more rope than to get canned with all these injuries and 2/3 of his top line forgetting how to play good hockey.We'll you make the trade to shakeup the team. It's either that or the coach gets canned
