This list is a freaking joke.



They're just plain wrong. The article claims that the Ducks are "bad at tanking". This is not true; they're actually quite good at it.


As a Ducks fan, at this point I would probably be OK if they started using the Flying V. https://youtu.be/VpjiCv2jPdU

Very rarely. I've only ever been to four games: One against Newcastle when they still had a team, one against either Manchester or Nottingham (I can't remember which one and, if I do find out because I was actually in the crowd on a highlight reel video, I'll make a new post even though the video might not work outside of the UK), one against Guildford when the Blaze completely collapsed after the first period and a Team GB vs Lithuania friendly where they handed us our asses. It doesn't help that I'll be moving to Cumbria soon and the nearest actual team will be just north of the border in Scotland (and the two nearest EIHL teams, Manchester and Glasgow, will be at least two hours away).

depends.
Babs... the last two games against the sabres kind of already proved their problems had less to do with him and more the fact that they've spent half their cap on one line of forwards one good goalie.

Hughes... yeah with anount of money they spent this offseason getting continously blown out by 4 plus goals is bad.

So after Babcock was ousted the floundering Leafs have gone 12-4-1. Looks like I was wrong and he really was the problem.
