Friday’s Mailbag got me thinking aboutHead Coach Randy Carlyle coming back next year to lead the Anaheim Ducks. I wanted to expand more on his situation today.
Oh No, Too Slow
It’s been discussed en infinitum that the Anaheim Ducks were too slow to compete against the top teams in the NHL in 2017-18. Ducks fans were beside themselves wondering how the team’s brain trust could be so blind to what was happening on the ice.
It turns out they weren’t oblivious. As a matter of fact, Bob Murray and Carlyle had been talking about the Ducks inability to keep pace for months.
