George Parros has no business being in charge of DPS. If he is truly calling the shots, his decisions are inconsistent at best.

I'm happy with today's game results this far. Hope Florida can keep it rolling.
LA Kings announcer Faust on the Florida / Tampa game. I think he does a real good job.

weird. younger player with maybe, just maybe, a better potential upside, but that's about it. and we gave away a 6th round pick. so, with Hutton, that's two defensmen for a low end prospect and replacing a 6th with a 5th.
that's about as milquetoast as it gets, no? at least now we know if there's any deal with Seattle, it doesn't involve those two, and probably involves Shatt and Larsson, if not a forward.
i think that means we see Larsson every game from here on out.
Hayden Fleury was a first round pick (#7). It was a good hockey trade for both clubs.

Hayden Fleury from Carolina. Hakanpaa goes to Carolina with a 6th rounder.

That is a fair return.

Another thing to consider.....with no fans, the importance of post season gate isn’t an issue, so borderline teams may just stand pat.

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....

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.

The phantom call and make up calls have been going on for years. 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.

Nobody is "moaning and groaning here". When a team is on 9-games losing streak, and GM tell that coach is "doing a great job", we, dedicated die-heart Ducks fans express our concern. I understand that doing nothing is the easiest thing to do, but what kind of message it sends to the Ducks fans? As far as strategy, the first step to do is to find a competent GM. There are few names available right now, do I really have to be specific?
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.

I didn't hear your plan? Ill give you first shot...What's your plan?
My plan is to suck and get a lotto pick. This year for sure, and maybe next year.
Eakins is an effective Tank Commander.

Exactly...Its on ownership
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.

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

when the players make a visible effort to execute the plays on the ice during the game, each period, then we can talk about whether Eakin's plays suck and whether we need a different coach. until then, it's all on the players. if the players won't commit for 20+ games straight, and at least give the new system an honest try, then it's time to shake them up. if that means losing Hank or a few other vets at a low price, then i think that's what we have to do. getting a new coach now would be a huge sign of weakness on the part of the GM, and the players would forever know all they needed to do is sandbag a few games and they decide which coach they get, the style of game they play, and frankly, i've seen those teams, and they're almost always trash fires (we don't have players on the team right now that can muster a winning strategy across all the lines).
Some of the players look like they’ve tuned out. It looks like a dumpster fire in the making.

Our ownership is really great. I hope the fans appreciate this. We could have a Melnyk or Jacobs running the show.
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.
