[GT] Ducks vs Flames

[Vedder]

As painful as this, at least Kelly isn’t on the broadcast droning on about how great the Ducks are.

I heard Hubadore.

####ing never

Glad I'm not the only one grinding his teeth about that decision

This is what happens when you fill your roster with grinders like Duehr, Lewis, Coleman, Dube, etc. All the talk about goaltending but to me it's the lack of legitimate scoring chances

I find them both endearing.

[Strange Brew]

Hard to believe you let a bad team like this retake the lead on you, in a game you must have. That's just disappointing at a deep level.

Also, Bedard might take their place in the lineup.

The players don't give a #### about the franchise getting a lottery pick pick. They care about maximizing their value, and getting the best contracts for themselves. It's in their best interest to play as good as possible so then they are valuable players that the team, or other teams will pay for.

Tanking is purely for the organization. Not the players. So giving them #### for trying to win games? #### outta here.

Yes, we can confirm you made a dumb post. The players don't care about getting a shot at a generational player? Lmao, boy are you out to lunch! Why would players care about that? They would much rather get meaningless points right? Fn clueless bud.

Don’t forget, a bad team on a back to back who got shelled the night before.

Even in the year he was talking about, the tanking took place via icing a horrible team. They played 5th string goalies.

Trying to lose for a player is a good way to get hurt, or to lose money.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

If they can even it again, must immediately simplify their game and be aware & responsible. No more swings.

[Barnet Flame]

Average goalies and we’re closer to 100 points than 90

Shouldn't be disappointing since it Flames '23. Would be surprising if they actually were comfortably winning.

Every possible thing with this team gotta be aa difficult as possible.

Players don't play to lose. And they don't care about draft picks.

Bad time to be calling them idiots.

Hahaha. I love your posts. Keep being you.

100% agree with this. Many speak of him as found money for the bottom six, but I'm not convinced that's his ceiling, personally. He may explode with someone like Huberdeau.

[OldSam]

Do they have it in themselves to come back down after 40 for the second game in a row? Stay tuned.

[midniteowl]

The only thing I can hope for is that this game eerily like last game, and they came back and win last game. And I'm hoping Canucks are better than the Ducks.

20 games...I could score 2 goals by accident and I can't skate anymore.

Team worst -17. Milan Lucic is -11. The next closest player is a -7. He was supposed to be defensively responsible right?

He's 100% checked out of this team. Doesn't care, doesn't battle through anything, just whines to the ref when things don't go his way.

So just to summarize: isn't producing offensively, isn't playing good defense, isn't leading the team or showing good character.

I'm really starting to dislike him.
