GDT: Voodoo Magic vs Ducks

[SlavinAway]

Rod seriously doesn't see anything wrong with the way this team is currently constructed to play...

Here's quotes from his presser last night.

"The game could have gone either way..."
"I feel like we’re pretty much doing everything we can..."
"we played good enough to win and we don’t get any results...”
"..you think ‘It’s a terrible game’ but I didn’t see it that way at all."
"..we’re going to have to...stick with the game plan."

Reading this is almost more frustrating than watching the games....

Does he actually think everything is fine? or is he just too stubborn to change anything up? Not sure which is worse.

Or does he just not give a a crap. Behind the bench lately he's looked pretty checked out.

Maybe this is his polite way of saying i need more than 3 of the 4 lines being AHL plugs and i need real talent if you want to win. Just an idea.

 

[Hulkacaniac]

Checkers recalled Lorentz from the Everblades. Wonder if we'll see a call up for tomorrows game.

Edit: NVM, saarela out.

Watch them bring lorentz all the way up. Echl player for this echl team

 

[Roboturner913]

So, apparently Staal got injured last night?

Gosh, I hope this doesn't hamper him offensively

Maybe the most appropriate use of this gif ever...

I can deal with the losing as long as the effort is there. What I can't deal with is the losing and not doing anything to switch things up. At this point, f*** the chances. Switch things up until a line starts scoring.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

It's not lost on me that Peters begged for some more NHL level forwards and now Brindy is insinuating the same. You can't miss on this many first round draft picks and expect to have a really good team. Part of the blame lies with the scouting. Other teams have been good, been bad, and are good again while we're just stuck in the middle. A move has to be made to get some scoring. Everyone's patience is wearing thin and our coaches are begging for help.

Brindy Better not be insinuating that when he ran Skinner out of town on a rail and traded Lindholm. Yes I know hes not the GM, but the way Dundon was talking about him in the Summer it was clear he had the keys and was the driving force behind these moves (at minimum the Skinner move). I'm going to try to not go back and talk in hindsight, but him implying that they don't have enough NHL talent should be grounds for him to be sacked.

Edit: To clarify - I realize that it is a fact that we don't have enough offensive talent. But you don't get to complain about it when you caused it.

Even if Brindamour did advocate trading Skinner, I doubt he did so with the idea that we'd be getting no NHL talent in return. Hell, even after the trade, there was still the expectation that we'd trade Faulk for a forward.

Waddell's the main reason we're in the mess we're in.

Based on Dundon's comments in the summer it sounded like Brindy would be the one making the decisions. I kind of doubt that Weddell has final say on trades either. For whatever reason Rod wanted Jeff gone (Maybe he squats more than him) so he called him a determent to the locker room and got his way.

0% chance that Waddell trades Skinner out from under Rod without his blessing. Not after the Canes hitch their wagon to him for the foreseeable future.

Let's be clear: Dundon has the final decision on anything this organization does. In his stead, however, I'd put money on Waddell being the next in the pecking order. Besides the obvious of "He's the GM and thus actually the one making the trades", he's also been the one in Dundon's ear since he bought the team.

Again, I don't doubt that Brindamour advocated trading Skinner. He certainly made that decision easy with the way he played last year. However, I doubt he did so with the understanding that Cliff Pu would be return and we'd make zero effort to replace Skinner and Lindholm's talent.

We will score more than one goal and at least one will be from guys we are trying to peddle on the trade board.

Also JR still owes us for the Staal trade. Time to even the balance sheet.

 

[The Faulker 27]

We can bring up kuokanen but just remember he has less points, and goals than Chris Terry and Zac Dalpe. He may spark some offense but I wouldn't hold my breath.

He's clearly a punchy Paluka just like Kirk Muller was. Too many checks to the frontal lobe. Furrowing his brown in a vain attempt to grasp why his master plans arent coming to fruition.

 

[Stickpucker]

I think calling the team by another name in the gdt may improve our odds.

Superstition

A supressed MAC-10 always did send a solid message.

 

[HisIceness]

5-1 loss.

 

[Breakdowns]

Should I even bother watching this on demand tomorrow or just watch highlights to save some time? I don't think I can handle seeing another game like last few

[Negan4Coach]

This Meg person amuses me.

 

[Lempo]

It's becoming a trend for Canes fans to state things they put more efford in than Canes put in scoring.
