I've repeatedly said whenever I get asked why the Ducks struggle, that it is Specials teams that is the issue. I was planning on making a video about it but what you have here is better than anything I could make so I'll just link this when asked. Great video!
I feel so bad for Jackson Lacombe. The kid came out of college and played first line minutes on his off side in his rookie year and did *fine*. That is extremely impressive to be fed to the sharks and live. (Which is hilarious cause i remember the first rookie camp after drafting him he was by far the worst defensemen) But do I see a future with him? Between Minty, Zelle, Solberg, the left side is locked up tighter than when we had a young Fowler and Lindholm. Is he doomed to be traded? What even is his fair value? I wonder if he knows that even if he plays well he probably doesn't have a future here.
Totally agree. Big fan of Lacombe's game. It's never sat right with me that they haven't given him a real chance. I do fear he won't bring the return a player of his calibre deserves in a trade, just based on how he's been deployed. Unfortunate situation, but you never know. Maybe he makes himself an absolute necessity to keep. Uphill battle for sure though.
How do we feel about the future of coaching with the ducks? It is obvious Cronin won't be the coach of the future due to his more defensive play style probably won't mesh with the Duck's undersized duck-moving D. It seems like the writing on the wall is that Matt McIlvane of the current Gull's head coach is supposed to be the next head coach but I wonder if he will be the one. He is very young and inexperienced which definitely showed during the gull's season. A 13 game losing streak, a 7 game losing streak and two 5 game losing streak which made up 30 of the Gull's 46 losses last season. While terrible, if he can figure out how to break there long streaks there is a lot of hope for him. A morale coach can work in the NHL, look at Jim Montgomery but will he be what a young core ducks core need in 2-3 years? Maybe! Sorry this was way more rambly than I wanted, I just want a consistently good ducks coach and I'm tired of old school defense minded head coaches like Carlyle and Boudreau.
Honestly no clue. Haven't given the future of coaching much thought. But, the current crew better at least attempt to practice what they preach. Also, I hope they (for lack of better term) shut the hell up during games, because clearly the refs aren't fans. If not, I hope everyone is absolutely done being soft on these guys.
