Better to hold your assets than give them away. Not trading someone can actually turn out to be the best deal.

Dumb to have your first power play stars out there in a chippy game that is already decided.

So who gets traded between game end and noon tomorrow?

That was a good tilt with ND and OBrien. Kudos to O’Brien for being the man Kadri’s not. It’s gotta suck for a team to need player to due the bidding for zeros like Kadri. Same guy repsonsible for the forum page is working on the trade deadline.... ——-JK

I would rather the officials set a uniform standard of infractions. My beef is the league is throwing Peel under the bus for long standing sanctioned activity. Game management is not a new thing.

Tim Peel gets removed from officiation duties for getting caught discussing "game management" by an open mic. Game management has been an open secret for decades. What makes me laugh (and cringe) is the league offices are acting like they're doing something for the integrity of the time, while they have been in on the plot all along. Tim Peel could be an adverture to watch officiate a hockey game, but this response is closer to a case of throwing the guy under the bus who outed the leagues dirty little secret, despite evidence it's closer to unofficial NHL policy. Peel should retire, start drwaing his pension, and seek a job in broadcasting.

I also remember it well. I got on a waiting list for season tickets too. Was able to get into a few games the opening season. Saw more games at the GWF than at the Ponda that opening season. Locked in a set of seats in the nosebleed endzone starting in the shortened 94-95 season. Worked my way to a better seat over time. No nets up on the ends back then. Would have been crazy to sit down low in an endzone without nets. I would agree that the inaugural team would beat this one in abeat of seven. In five or six games. They were a better team just on coaching.

Whilst it’s not intentional they tank, it’s what’s going to happen. They’re just not very good.

Losing is good when you have no hope of making or advancing in the playoffs. Complete rebuild. Trade anyone under 25 if the return is right, Hampus and Gibson might be the only exceptions to that thought. Someone being a fan from 1993 should see the writing on the wall. Ducks are bad....really bad in fact. They look worse than in the expansion days.

My plan is to suck and get a lotto pick. This year for sure, and maybe next year. Eakins is an effective Tank Commander.

What exactly would you do, and who would you hire to replace GMBM? I’m all for firing Eakins, but what is your succession plan? Moaning and groaning without a plan is not an effective strategy.

This is great news to me. I find Darryl Sutter's post game pressers some of the most entertaining out there (since they are mostly out there.) I'm glad to see Mumbles back behind the bench. Reported to be a three year deal. https://www.tsn.ca/calgary-flames-fire-hc-geoff-ward-name-darryl-sutter-as-replacement-1.1602864

Good article about the Ducks current struggles in the Athletic this morning. The comments are good too.

Some of the players look like they’ve tuned out. It looks like a dumpster fire in the making.

I had viewed the Samuelis much differently. How I felt prior doesn't need to be explained. I'm glad they are now taking care of their people.

All I can say is my opinion of the Samueli's has gone up 500 percent with how they are taking care of their Arena and team employees. Bravo..... https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/anaheim-ducks-owners-will-pay-part-time-employees-through-june-30/

A few folks are not taking this COVID-19 virus seriously. Partying at the beach, partaking in large gatherings. Although older persons are more likely to suffer more serious consequences from health conditions, an unanticipated high number of younger people are catching the virus based on behavior.

Agreed Moose. I sense this getting worse before it gets better. 2-3 months....

I saw this and it greatly changed my personal opinion of ownership. A real positive move by the Samueli's considering many of their arena employees are dependent on those salaries.

Even Gallant couldn’t fix this mess. Time and experience is what’s required.

Watching VGK and SJS on NHL Network. Evander Kane picking his spots. He wants to fight some Russian guy when a perfectly willing Ryan Reeves is available.

The buyout works in Perry’s favor. If I were him, I would have outright refused a trade, and pushed them to either keeping me no or forcing the buyout option. It’s a business on the player side too. I think he makes more salary this way and controls where he wants to sign. I wish Perry nothing but the best.
