Watching kids devolope a losing habit? Losing atmosphere? No it's.not fun. We flat out suck. We are supposed to better than last year. Right now we are no different.

a team solely comprised of developing kids would be both atrocious to watch and atrocious for their development

Again - zero of those kids would be in the NHL, so no, I would not be. I’d be watching the current kids getting their faces caved in with whatever UFA scraps we overpaid to come here. I also wouldn’t have gotten Getzlaf’s last season here, because there’s no way he would have returned to Anaheim for that shit show.
Tell that to the sacramento kings or the okc thunders. They blew it up all for kids and are finally putting it together

When did hockey become a sport that only requires 2-3 star players to not suck?

A lot of tough losses. The Ducks get called for a lot of penalties, a lot earned but enough of them marginal.
Personally it is the lack of the Ducks getting calls, especially blatant, is the real problem.
How can a team stay, or even be motivated, when the refs swallow the whistle? At some point there is no play through it.
If the disparity between what qualifies as a penalty continues it doesn’t matter who plays for us. Unless of course, it is Crosby, McDavid, etc.

i decided to skip this game since i just can't deal with losing anymore, life sucks enough already. then i saw the score, saw how Terry coughed up a puck on the PP for the SHG and saw Gibson let in that softy, wasn't even surprised. franchise has created a losing culture that i don't see changing any time soon. just need to step away from this team for awhile.

murray not trading gibson when his value was at an all time high in 2019 is easily one of the biggest f*** ups in franchise history

Signing a goalie to an 8 year contract period was the mistake.

I remember how most of the board made fun of Eakins for not earning a Regulation win until game 20, against the NY Rangers last year. At least that team knew how to take it to OT for at least a point. We're having trouble securing a point despite having a better PP, PK, and ES defense. Cronin still has a better roster than Eakins, but the improvement has been marginal. We need more out of Cronin and the players.
If Mac or Z aren't back, then I'd move Strome out of 2C and back onto the wing. Move Rico up to 2C. Rico has offensive upside as a center, but he's stuck on the third line.

Yeah, really hard to justify that anymore. Hell, you see backup/AHL guys winning cups. Its nice to have a top tier goalie but to extend yourself out that long just doesnt seem like the move anymore

Some teams are deep enough to weather a storm with top guys out. Those are your Cup contenders. Some teams can scrape by, your playoff/bubble teams. Then there are teams that go completely upside down. That's us.
Majority of our vets are nice additions to playoff caliber teams. They aren't guys that can carry a bad team.
We ain't there yet.

This has been the case for what feels like ever with the Ducks not getting deserved calls. Tonight, the team found a way to be tied at the last minutes with getting a call, but blew it.
Oh cmon they gave the ducks a pp with less than 2 . minutes left at least they could have got it to ot. They couldn't even do that shit. No this one is one Gibson and the players

Yeah, when we get back 3 of our top 5 players, they’ll go back to being watchable/fun again. Getting Lundestrom back will also be a boost.
Those are the upgrades Verbeek will make before canning the coach, sending out players, or making panic moves. I think there’s a roughly 0% chance that he moves out any draft pick higher than a 5th or any prospect at all unless it’s overwhelmingly in the Ducks’ favor, and that won’t be for a rental.

I still don’t think it did, because they didn’t move up. I could be wrong though (with my track record, I probably am)
