You can agree or disagree with a post, but there's no need to insult the individual themself. That's just common decency that should be "obvious." I'm late to the party but I support all things MooseDuck. This dude is all pride and passion as a Ducks fan and we could only hope to aspire to his level. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He basically half-assed the entire season and still ended up with 30 goals. That's already better than anything we've got and he's not even close to reaching his full potential. A trade might be the kick in the butt he needs. If history is any indication, we should be rubbing our hands together in anticipation anytime Winnipeg is thinking about giving up a Finnish goal scoring prodigy. Laine can be a beast. I'd love to steal another hot shot young Finnish player from Winnipeg. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your seats are center ice (200 level), or in the second row of the 200 level, I know the prices went up significantly. Otherwise, I find it hard to believe a $40 increase in other areas.

Possibly Rakell, defenseman and 1st round pick in 2020? I think that’s a pretty good guess. Given their needs, I think that Rakell + Manson + 2nd round pick would get Winnipeg’s attention. Losing Myers and Trouba killed their right side. We’d have absolutely no RHD depth if Manson gets moved though, which would only make Gibson’s life more miserable. They could use a 2C upgrade also but I think the only upgrade that we have to offer them there is Getzlaf. I just don’t see us as being in a good or realistic position to trade for Laine right now.

DuckFan4Life 5,647 Report post Posted September 7 On 8/28/2019 at 2:18 PM, HockeyIzCool said: Most of the time I disagree with Mooseduck's rose colored outlook on all things Ducks. He's like our own Chicago Cubs fan from 10 years ago, always proclaiming that this will be our year....and then when all hope is lost.....it becomes NEXT Year Is Our Year!! There's nothing wrong with optimism, and he has that right, and his pro Ducks stance is certainly welcome here. I sometimes listen to Roger Lodge on AM 830, and on Monday he spent most of his show asking whether it was time to say the Angels won't make the playoffs this season. Gee.....I don't know....they're only about 13 Games out of the 2nd Wild Card spot with a month to go. But he's a homer, hired by the flagship station to drive up enthusiasm even when there's zero chance of changing the inevitable. I expect to come here in November, when the Ducks have single digits in points, and see Mooseduck posting about how it's still possible to turn things around. Heck, he even eventually jumped onboard the Dump Carlyle bandwagon last season. We've been season seat holders since Day 1, so we're always pulling for the Ducks to excel. But honestly, after the 2017-18 Season, and especially after the 2018-19 Season, I have seen no effort from Ownership or Management to make me think anything other than the team is merely going through the motions. I have very low expectations for the upcoming season, and I just don't see how we intend to keep up with some of the other clubs that have improved their rosters over the past couple of years. I really foresee another sub-90 point result, but hope that I'm wrong. BM made some great moves. 🥺 Anaheim Ducks Signed Goalie Stolarz signed to two-year contract; defenseman Hakanpaa signed to one-year contract Forwards Poturalski, Pietila sign one-year contracts Forward Martinsen signs one-year, two-way contract Defenseman Del Zotto signs one-year contract Forwards De Leo, Kloos, defenseman Wideman sign one-year, two-way contracts Free Agents Group 2 FAs: Chase De Leo (re-signed), Justin Kloos (re-signed).

BombaysTripleDeke 1,104 Report post Posted September 8 Watched the Ducks/ Kings Prospects game. The Ducks looked discombobulated for the first few minutes but then pretty much controlled the entire game (given our NHL experience compared to LA's, this is what we should have hoped for). Some guys that really stood out, to me at least: 1. Kiefer Sherwood - Guy was flying, creating chances, getting good shots off while being defensively responsible. 2. Lukas Dostal - Looked absolutely unflappable. Made saves look very easy, particularly with his glove. 3. Hunter Drew - Unafraid to step up and deliver big hits, especially Drew. Knocked guys off the puck. Well positioned. The Ducks physically dominated and LA had no answer for it. Aside from Sideroff, no one else stuck out as being bad. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
