    By "mid range guy" you mean someone who is being compared to the likes of Mikko Rantanen, Leon Draisaitl, and Evgeni Malkin, right? :lol:

    I personally don't care who they take between Fantilli or Carlsson. Both guys seem like they will be HUGE additions to this team. I'm more just curious about what kind of thinking goes into the final decision. 

    I'd be shocked if it's not Fantilli.  He's so Verbeek.

    Well Its Official......Anaheim Ducks will select no2 Pick in NHL Entry Draft for the 3rd time in Franchise/Team History.....Very Happy with where the Ducks are Selecting....However I was abit Hoping they get no1 Pick yet You know how I feel about the NHL Draft Lottery. 

    Speaking of the NHL Draft Lottery....What Happen tonite shows and validates WHY Tanking is NOT nor is never the Best Strategy for Any Sports team including Anaheim Ducks.

    Well, first off, she did put out a heartfelt comment about the victims. Second off, the trans community IS under attack and it's important to shine light on that as it was Trans Day of Visibility. There are a ton of anti-trans bills being written up and so much attempt around the country to completely deny that they are people with any sort of validity. You can disagree with their "lifestyle" all you want, but you can't deny that they are under constant attack.

    Even IF her comment was in response to the shooter -- which it wasn't -- there are a so so so many bigots out there who are looking for ANY excuse to attack ALL people in the trans community and have ANY reason to continue to deny that they are valid human beings and they are using this to continue to fuel their hatred. It's not hard to find or see.

    That shooting is absolutely horrible and heartbreaking and tragic and just another terrible thing brought on to this country, and that shooter is absolutely disgusting.

    Sorry she turned this tragedy into politics.  Take trans out.  This person that killed children was mentally ill, period.

  4. uh no, Teemu's right.  She's worried about trans feelings when 6 people were just killed and more outrageous 3 of them were KIDS!  Well done Teemu for calling out that fool.

    Teemu's comment has nothing to do about the Trans community being attacked and EVERYTHING to do with KJP feeling sorry for the trans community just because a person who just killed 6 people happens to be trans.  How bout she doesn't make it political and puts out a heartfelt comment about the victims.  That was a foolish comment on her part.  Bravo Teemu!!!

    Last game vs St Louis in the two periods I watched, which involved 6 goals against, more then half of them were two on ones or breakaway goals. The goalie has next to no chance if they have to come across on a 2 on 1 and try to make a save. Gibson wasnt to blame for the majority of the goals against. Then there was another one that hit Benoit, then the Blues forward and into the net. By the way, how many goals have gone in off of Benoit standing close to the crease and gone in. It seems coming on a shot missing the net that it hits him and bounces in.

    It's painfully obvious to anyone with a clue that we have ZERO defense.  Any team with a defense like ours is going to have goalies with a crap save %.

    Absolutely. He just HAS to nail that 1st point I think. I'm not saying he needs to find the next Scotty Bowman but he can't get someone we are frustrated with and fire a season or two down the line. It's gotta be someone that works with the team style wise and being in good systems play, not whatever we currently have. And it better not be Randy, who will say he's learned something new... again. 

    Agree he does have to nail the first point.  Curious though as to who everyone thinks would be a good fit to coach this current Ducks team?

    The east is going to be incredible to watch. Already amazing storylines....

    Boston - fastest team to ever get to 100 pts. Made a bunch of moves already paying off. Will get presidents trophy. Presidents trophy curse?

    Carolina - got PoolParty...didn't do much though. They are solid and coached really well! But not much has changed.

    NJ - Looks terrifying on F. Not much expectation, but they are scary.

    Toronto - oh man...toronto...they went all-in like they never have before. What a TDL. And all this to get out of the 1st round. Is that enough for them with these moves? Do they see losing in the 2nd round as progress?

    TB - 3x Stanley Cup finalists with 2 cups. Rooting for Perry. made some great moves. They are really just as difficult to face as before. This opening round series of TB vs TOR is gonna be INSANE. I hope it goes 7.

    NYR - I mean...Kane and Tarasenko...this team got some big names and were already a scary team. This NYR vs NJ series is gonna be epic, too!

    Now for the wild card...Pittsburgh probably makes it in. And then it's really between Buffalo, Ottawa, and Detroit for that final spot and it's gonna be fun to see them all fight for it! I'm rooting for Buffalo.

    ...and then the west....lolz

    like....the playoffs are basically set. Calgary aint getting in lol like....we have Colorado who will be a threat even with injuries. But like...Dallas Minnesota and Winnipeg from the central? lol Dallas is just on the first-year Deboer high...Minnesota has Klingberg but i don't think they really have much...i mean...Vegas I guess is scary...LA is kinda scary but still...Seattle didn't do anything...Edmonton will be interesting to see if Ekholm gives them some stability on the blue line.

    Anyway my hot takes:

    Buffalo is gonna sweep Boston. Toronto is getting out of the 1st round. NJ will beat the NYR in the first round. leading the way for Carolina to come out on top in the East. And Dallas will somehow make it to the finals...Carolina wins.

    Obviously anything can happen come playoff time but I really like Boston's chances this year.  Easily the one team that made our team look like elementary school kids when we played them back in January.
