Trade you!
Yeah, score 5 goals and someone wins a million, some guy ended up winning when Laine scored 5.

Taking bets on who we sit against the Leafs to "send a message" starting now.

I don't believe in tanking in a sense that players are told to lose on purpose. They're going to want to win hockey games. But GMs WILL set up their rosters in a way that gives the team the best chance of finishing at the bottom of the standings. And there's the decision that Murray needs to make. Keep things as they are and let the team finish the collapse this season (tank) or make some changes and try to make the team competitive.
If no major changes are made, then Murray's decision is to tank. The coach has clearly lost the team, Gibson is burned out, and player morale is at an all time low. No, the players aren't being told to lose on purpose. But they are being kept in a low-morale situation by the powers that be, so if BM doesn't fire Carlyle or make some significant roster moves, then he's chosen to give up the season. Despite a horrid stretch the playoffs are well within reach, and making no major moves in spite of recent results says a lot about how our GM feels about the team.
Keep Carlyle after tonight, and he's chosen to tank. I'm fine with that personally. Bring in a new coach next year and hopefully a different looking roster along with a high draft pick and see where things go. Trying to make the playoffs at this point is just asking for a first round exit and a mid-draft pick. I wanted Carlyle gone before all this, but now it's at the point where you almost have to keep him in order to ensure a good pick.

I herewith demand the motto of our tank to be "Stay with the fossil - strike for oil!".
I was told Carlyle lost the locker room before the first losing streak. You can clearly see it.

Said it before, I'll say it again: I do not believe for one second that the veterans who were around for the end of Randy's first term wanted him back and that Murray framed it that way to save goodwill.

Ducks obviously have waived the white flag since Murray won’t fire Carlyle. We definitely need to trade Silver and any high cost veterans if possible.

RC needs to go tonight. It's no use riding him out this season, it's far too damaging leaving him in the rest of the season. But that would require BM to actually have some balls when it comes to RC which we all know he doesn't have. Just waiting for BM to give a disaster long term extension to Silf
Also why is Holzer with the big club? That was one of the most pathetic efforts I've seen. How many times can one defenceman fail to cover his man ffs

Yotes make it to OT, officially passing us. We are now two points out of the fourth overall pick. Keep them coming, jack hughes would be a godsend.

They've given up. The front office, the players, etc. Murray wants the highest draft pick possible, it's obvious. I think he realizes that we need a chance to draft the next elite forward and that it likely isn't going to happen picking 13th or whatever. That comment he made at the draft last year about Florida having a higher pick than us stands out to me. Whether the benefit of that is worth the risk of alienating/slowing the development of players is up for debate. But they've already made their decision, so don't expect a firing. BM will do another call out of the players through the media without naming specific names as a saving face move.

Quack Quack Quack!
It appears clear that the kids are down to get quality minutes in the A and make a push for the Calder cup while subsequently making a push for that #1 spot!
Went to the movies instead of watching the game, which was clearly the right decision. BTW, bring tissues to How To Train Your Dragon 3, it is awesome and bittersweet.
Not sure I will devote time to watch this team again until management acts like they care.

I love that Randy Carlyle is making franchise history. Most goals conceeded in a period. Most losses in a row.
