🍎🍎🍎 And a great interview following the game. Go Dylan!

That is nice!

Dylan is awesome

RR is gross

Joki!!!!!

Ducks seem like a well coached team

First look I thought that was a good hip check

Sack a few people and things will turn around, just like last time 🙃

Trading young talent before it matures is, imo, mismanaging talent Of course if you get good stuff back in return, it makes sense

What do you want to do? Trade all our talent to watch them win the cup on another team? Be patient or don't, I don't care. i hope we just stay the course. I believe in the young talent we have. They do need to add vets, but I don't know if anyone will trade us a Mike Ramsey, but I would sure like that.

Isn't there a lot to be optimistic about? This is a talented roster. We have Dahlin and Thompson, any team in the league would love to have those players There is a fine line between winning and losing. All those blown leads show that they are just on the wrong side of that line. They did play well enough to get those leads after all. They look like the young team they are at times. Deer in the headlights look. If they hate losing they will learn from that. Patience is hard, but these guys will get better.

Sure, but they actually do have a lot of good young talent bubbling up now. In past years we traded Samson and Jack to improve the culture because it was "time to move on." Should we repeat that mistake?

Maybe they believe in the talent here and want the young players to improve. Young team, I'm hoping they put it all together. Of course you add a few in trades and free agents, but our young core is what it is..young and getting better

Best February and March team in history! 🙃
