Winning

Coaching great Scotty Bowman, Herb Brooks are one thing …. But creativity is something missing in today’s hockey… where are the NFL type coaches who use creativity like McCay and Andy Reid? Leadership, system that players can visualize and yet have the freedom to create from within it?  I think hockey need a shot in the arm in this area. I see too much of the same thing and nothing evolving. I love hockey. It is a man’s game! You must have grit and that puck could end your career, or a skate or stick could as well … you have to be a man with guts to play.  But I want to see a new coach, develop a new system, let creativity exist for talented players to make it there own and be creative on every play May 27, 2024

This 2024 Draft

Draft should be best player regardless of position, our #3 pick in first round etc. I love how ducks have drafted the last couple of years.   See so much about how we should draft for this position or that position…. You fill the team holes through free agency.  You draft for the best team.  If you end up with 20 centers …you trade 2 … to get the position you need.   Your draft capital must be the best playersMay 27, 2024

Coaches

Ducks need to hire more coaches, young team needs specialists in areas that talk to each player on weaknesses, set drills to improve them, and work on them  mentally.  Winning faceoffs … penalties… killing off penalties 10 commandments… power play 10 commandments.  Ducks need to have a system that complements the skills of the players on roster… not force a system on the players … I did see not creativity in their play this year … do not let our opponents know exactly what we are going to do. May 27, 2024
