First, Verbeek created another fowler situation when he traded for trouba. Second the Ducks painted themselves in a corner by picking Gudas to be captain, and as captain you are almost untouchable from scratches or trade. Gudas is the only one out all D corps that should be considered for such moves. Minty has to play to reach his ceiling, Gudas is more liability then Mn. Just like Zegras I hope he goes somewhere he can reach his potential
Move Helleson, keep Minty and let him work out his inefficiencies.
Minty is young and wants more playing time…just a rumor…he goes Nowhere unless a top pick is involved….i doubt he will be traded…
Back to back is tough.
Didn’t even get to the heartbreaking stick break for Troy Terry where he could have tied it! Was it just not in the cards for the Ducks to win that game?
I went to the game against the Senators and despite the loss. They looked exhausted. There were multiple opportunities to score goals but didn't take advantage of them. I had fun despite the loss. The crowd is really like a family tho. I had amazing conversations with fans and the running theme is love. Or maybe it was the beer. 😅 GOOOOOO DUCKS! 🖤🤎🤍
