    From Bald to Beards, these are the Ducks of our lives

  3. JiveChicken00

    Had a few too many suspensions when he was here.

    Gudas is a weasel bitch. Ducks could have done better.

    I thought this was a troll/joke post – had to google to verify. This goon is actually captain? He might be a good guy in the room, but the optics of this looks really bad.

    From his wiki page:

    Gudas’ style of play has resulted in criticism, ejections, injuries to opposing players, and subsequent reviews and suspensions from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. NBC Sports writer James O’Brien noted Gudas’ growing list of indiscretions in late 2016, writing that “If the Department of Player Safety had a speed dial list of regulars, Gudas would have a prominent spot on it.”[35] Hockey writers have described him as reckless[36] and as a player who consistently demonstrates no regard for opponents in vulnerable positions.[37] As a member of the Flyers, he has been referred to by the Philadelphia sports press as a player who “represents everything that the Flyers once were and should no longer aspire to be”, as well as “a cheap-shot aficionado, reckless, careless, damaging to the Flyers’ chances of winning and to other athletes’ health and safety, a player who can’t be trusted by either his teammates or his opponents to play a tough, clean game.”

    That means he’s going to stop sitting on people right?….right?

  7. navygamer

    Umm……ok……. I don’t think I could have seen this coming.

  8. asparagusbruh

    It would’ve been really funny if this is how he found about it 😭

    “Oh nice”

  9. shmoove_cwiminal

    1 year with the team and already the best option for leadership? 

    Hmmmm……

  10. Fit-Meal4943

    So…they found bottom and kept digging…

  11. OrganicSciFi

    Don’t see him in a leadership role.

  12. Anne_Chovies

    Has a captain ever led their team in penalty minutes?

  13. notyomamasusername

    Uhmm…..*slow clap*

    Congratulations I guess this is efficient because he can talk to the refs directly now for all the dirty plays and penalties he gets.

  14. Whiskeylung

    Worst captain in the league candidate?

  15. What’s next? FLA strip Barkov his C name Bennett their captain?

    Gudas: Multiple ejections, suspensions, and questionable plays, as well as literally screaming at a young goaltender during a game.

    Ducks: This is the perfect Captain of our young up and coming team!

    Of all they could have chosen from, why Gudas? What has he done to deserve Captaincy? He’s a Top 6 D at best, not known for a good personality, and is disliked a lot by both players and fans. Heck in a couple years when the Ducks have gotten some of their D prospects up, he will probably be a healthy scratch. I know Captaincy isn’t based on just skill, but Gudas seems like the opposite of a good leader to me. They couldn’t have waited or given it to Strome, Vatrano, or McTavish instead?

    Ok does Fowler have some deep dark secret or something?

  18. Temporary_Help_4073

    Smh. Gudas lol. Imagine playing in 748 games and scoring only 39 times. Or playing in 57 playoff games and scoring once. Having a average of 1 goal every 20 games which means he might get 4 before the season is over. He is a goon. A waste of 18 min ice time per game. Make him captain lol. Did the coach need a bench assistant. Lol

  19. suprunown

    Hanson Brothers named as alternate captains.

  20. Strypes4686

    How hard up is the team that GUDAS is the guy they see as the locker rooms leader????

  21. pkfreeze175

    Feels weird seeing him get this after his time with Flyers, but to me the bigger thing about this video is the ducks should use the actual colors for those unis. The orange doesn’t work for them.
