No excuses in 2023 for Anaheim!

There is much to be excited about surround the Anaheim Ducks right now despite their extremely poor 2022-2023 season. They have a plethora of young talent that should only get better with more experience and they hold the second overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft. The team also hired a new head coach in Greg Cronin and his skills at developing young talent was a major reason why.

Anaheim should look different than they did a season ago when they ended the year on a 13-game losing streak. They will play faster and should implement a more modern style as well. 

New Ducks coach spoke with Bally Sports West about his philosophy and what he believes is the key to coaching well. 

"I'm excited to coach them, to get to know them as people. Again, talking about the value system. Find out what makes them tick. Find out what their expectations of themselves are.

This is the coaching style that Cronin will bring to this franchise. He demands the best from his players and has his own method in bringing that out of them. Anaheim got a good one and he should help bring that team from the basement of the league.

It remains to be seen what the Ducks roster will look like exactly but for a team that hasn't reached the postseason since 2018, any sign of hope will be welcomed.
