Anaheim Ducks – Raise, Call, Fold on Randy Carlyle
By Ed Stein
The Anaheim Ducks season ended after they were on the wrong side of a four-game sweep in the playoffs. Many fans see Randy Carlyle as the cause of Anaheim’s failure.
Welcome to another edition of Anaheim Ducks Raise, Call, Fold, where our staff responds to statements about the subject. In this month’s crosshairs is Ducks Head Coach Randy Carlyle. There is quite a bit of discontent in Ducks nation about Carlyle after the Ducks were swept by San Jose in the first-round of the playoffs.
If you missed it last time, this how we do it: Raise means the contributor agrees with the statement. Fold means they disagree. Call means they feel “meh” about it.
The Pucks of a Feather staff will respond to the following four statements:
1) Randy Carlyle did a good job this season.
2) Looking back Bob Murray made the right call by re-hiring Carlyle.
3) Carlyle is a better coach than Bruce Boudreau.
4) Carlyle should be the head coach next season.
