Why do you think that?
Saw him in a video a while back giving out an after-game award to another Duck teammate, you know, the hockey equivalent of the "game ball." He seemed confident, well poised in mannerisms. I heard he has a good workout ethic. I dunno, just a sixth sense. Seems like he might lead by example. Too early to tell.

Not sure if I should start ANOTHER playoff thread, but here goes. Thought this article from NHL.com would be a good post to start:
"2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs rooting guide for fans of eliminated teams" (NHL.com)
ANAHEIM DUCKS
Who's playing where?: Boston Bruins: Danton Heinen, F; Hampus Lindholm, D; Kevin Shattenkirk, D; Colorado Avalanche: Andrew Cogliano, F; Josh Manson, D; Dallas Stars: Jani Hakanpää, D; Sam Steel, F; Edmonton Oilers: Sam Carrick, F; Adam Henrique, F; Corey Perry, F; Florida Panthers: Brandon Montour, D; Anthony Stolarz, G; Nashville Predators: Luke Schenn, D; Toronto Maple Leafs: Ilya Lyubushkin, D; Vegas Golden Knights: William Karlsson, F; Shea Theodore, D; Washington Capitals: Sonny Milano, F

Call it a hunch, but I could see Zellweger wear the C in a couple seasons.

"The Arizona franchise would be inactive, and owner Alex Meruelo would have the right to reactivate it if he built a new NHL arena within five years." (NHL.com)
I personally don't think he's going to get a new arena built.

You're probably correct about the players. I was thinking more along the lines of what the GM/coach would do to get a first overall pick.

Well, here we are. The end of the Duck's 30th Anniversary Season. At the beginning of this 30th Anniversary Season I had hopes of a better year than 22-23. However, this 30th Anniversary Season was to be a bit disappointing, and the Ducks didn't meet the lofty expectations of this 30th Anniversary Season. However, as the long hockey-less summer months pass, let us remember this 30th Anniversary Season with fondness and the conversations we all shared during this 30th Anniversary Season. Some of us were happy with our 30th Anniversary Season, but most of us were unhappy with our 30th Anniversary Season. Our 30th Anniversary Season should have been more like, you know, a better 30th Anniversary Season. So here's to the hope that next season will be better than this 30th Anniversary Season, and this 30th Anniversary Season will be remembered as the season that pushed the Ducks to greatness. As the years pass and we grow mellow with age, we'll smile at the memories of this 30th Anniversary Season, but also realize with a sense of wistfulness that we'll never have a 30th Anniversary Season again. But the days are coming when our children and grandchildren will sit on our knee and ask, "What was it like to watch the Ducks in their 30th Anniversary Season?" And we'll delight them with stories of Fowler, Gibson, Johnston and other legends of the 30th Anniversary Season. So, farewell 30th Anniversary Season, and thank you for making 23-24 the best 30th Anniversary Season ever!

Players and coaches have zero incentive to tank. Zero
If it gets you a so-called "generational" player like Bedard, there's plenty of incentive to tank. There's not much tanking incentive to move from, let's say, 5th overall pick to 4th overall pick.

I meant it in a good-natured way, Moose. Was actually poking fun at Sask! 🤪
You keep posting just the way you've been posting. The board wouldn't be the same without you!

Hey. With all this recent talk about Kevin Bieksa...
Would he make a good head coach?

Can't believe the Caps made it with a -37 goal differential! 🤯

Moose, you're going to make Sask slap his forehead with the "30th Anniversary" comments! 😃

Let's bring this up again. If in one season a team has 50 losses and all of those losses are by 3 goals, but the next season the team also has 50 losses but those losses are by 2 goals, it's an improvement even though the number of losses are the same. There's more than one way to measure improvement.

Oh, and the 66/64 thing is bullDehydrated Donkey Dung.
If I were his coach/agent/GM I'd tell him, "If you want to wear number 66, phone Mario and ask for his permission first. If he's fine with you wearing it then you can use that in your defense of any criticism about it."

I dunno, I don't think the Coyotes will be in AZ much longer anyway...

With Chicago's win tonight (Apr 6) we're once again separated by only three points.
1 - Is Chicago just toying with us?
2 - Does this mean the Ducks will automatically win tomorrow?

With Eakins we were reakin'...
With Cronin we're groanin'...
(Thought I'd try to be funny for a change)

Because you can’t teach leadership.
I'll disagree with that statement in principle. To me, there's three leadership types:
1 - Born leaders. Just like some are born athletes, born scholars, born musicians, born mathematicians, etc.
2 - People with average leadership, but who become good leaders by study and following the example of born leaders.
3 - People who are terrible leaders, and will never be anything but terrible leaders.

Nine games left, only five points ahead of Chicago. Any chance Chicago collects enough points to let the Ducks slip into 31st place by seasons end?

What about Fabian Zetterlund?
Zetterlund, Zellweger, Zegras. No way. Too many Z's on the team...

Yeah, but they'd run out of pucks by the second period!

There's a couple people on this board that I'd like to see put their money where their mouth is and apply for the job! 🙃
