The Anaheim Ducks are on, what is hopefully, the tail end of a ten game losing streak. Game one of their five-game road trip kicks off tonight against the Winnipeg Jets.
The Anaheim Ducks have officially surpassed their previous franchise record for longest losing streak. To be quite honest, I never thought I’d be writing about the Anaheim Ducks and their ten-game losing streak.
Nevertheless, here we are. As discouraging it is to watch them play hockey lately, I encourage each of you to have fun with it. If you don’t, you’re not doing yourself any favors. I, along with many of you, have come to the point where we’ve realized that it’s time to “embrace the suck!”
If they happen to pull it together in the last hour and make it to the playoff’s, great! At this point, however, I’m not holding my breath.
Going forward, I can only take this season one game at a time, hoping that before the season ends they get at least one more win. If not, well, maybe they can get a decent draft pick.
The Anaheim Ducks play their first game tonight on their five-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets. Fresh off a 7-4 loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins, a game where they blew a 3 goal lead, there needs to be some major change to the Anaheim Ducks.
If Randy Carlyle is going to remain the coach until the end of the season, I think most of us have come to terms with that. However, change needs to be the keyword for the Anaheim Ducks if have any hopes of breaking their losing streak tonight.
