And or being happy about ten years of “moral” victories while actually winning nothing. Thing is though....if you JUST watch hockey for the end result you're shortchanging yourself. Sure, it's what we all want but some here seem to be in sheer misery. Do nothing but complain. Just like relaxing on that boat...some of us relax by watching hockey/our team. And we got some good games during that spell that you're complaining about. A win is having hockey back for some of us (me)....when it was gone it was brutal. You're constantly harping on the team and it is a sad way to go through life...letting something like a game that's for enjoyment control your mood. Which has been displayed as "big disappointment". I've seen lots of good stuff over the past ten years...namely, watching Petey emerge. Quinn. Demko's performance. Miller (ok, some of us anyhow). It's not as bleak as some here make it out to be. We're not a bust of a team and you shouldn't expect them to act like it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, he is doing, what he was hired to do.... #rottentothecore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stepped into a bubble team and played a huge part to make it into a Stanley Cup calibre team. The season before he played they were 8th in the west and 17th in the league. The following season, his first year, they were 2nd in the west and 3rd in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Fantilli proves that he is franchise level. McTavish is a complete gamer. I wasn't overly impressed with Anaheim and it takes a lot more than talent.

You don’t control my mood at all, I’m amused myself that someone gets so triggered to post the mindless crap you post ad nauseam. I also understand what I want has no bearing on what actually happens with how my team is run. Something you really, really struggle with and project about endlessly.

They were much better than a bubble team.......they hit a roadblock for a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL97OneTimer Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Watching the Bedard interview before the lottery was interesting. He looked somewhat disinterested saying it was for the teams. Perhaps he already knew it was Chicago and just finished chucking up his third lunch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Ducks fans are hurting I think they'll be pleasantly surprised by Fantilli Bedard could still grow, and 5'10 ain't all that short, but Fantilli already being 6'0" and almost 200 pounds bodes well for Fantilli transitioning as a center We'll see if Bedard can, he may end up as an uber talented winger Edited May 9, 2023 by Coconuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably see buffalo be the next team to take the next step since they are further along already but Fantilli makes things smoother for Anaheim. They’ll probably be next team after buffalo. They better off than most rebuilding teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, I'd say having a #1 pick who was starting to peak helped his case. I don't know that we should overlook that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackinnon peaked two years prior in 2017-18 and they still struggled despite his play. Makar joined the team in 2019-20 when they became true contenders.
