u/mylefthandkilledme: I was just going to make this post but you beat me to it lol
All I have to say is:

>From Verbeek: “This was a very difficult decision, one that comes after careful and considerable deliberation,. At the end of the day, I simply feel that a fresh perspective and new voice will be beneficial for the team.” (more)
>From Henry Samueli: “We thank Dallas for his eight years with the organization as head coach of both the Ducks and Gulls. “Susan and I are especially proud of his commitment to the community in both Anaheim and San Diego, which included countless charitable initiatives…”
*Ducks stream will have Verbeek presser at noon today*
*Friedman says keep an eye on Matt Mcilvane as the next Gulls coach and long term Ducks coach prospect. No word if the current Ducks assistants are staying*
Everyone was worrying because Verbeek wasn’t directly outspoken about what he’d do. This was the obvious outcome, Verbeek is just more professional than the Vancouver front office.
I wonder who they are considering for the next coach. Is anybody else wondering if they will at least give Bruce an interview?
Praise the lord. I no longer have to watch my team give up 45 shots a game
I thank the tank commander for the tank but I want a new face
Off season off to a fantastic start
Won’t defend his coaching ability, but the Samueli’s are right on the money about him being a man of character. Hoping for the best for him.
Let’s give Selanne a chance as coach.
Hopefully, this is just the beginning of getting rid of our weak staff and creating a team that can not only coach, but develop talent better than we have.
The tank commander is gone. Job well done, dallas. Thanks for your contributions
HOLY HELL IT’S BEEN A GREAT ~~24~~ 12 HOURS
No more Shatty in the shootout!
Tank you for your service, Dallas! 🫡
God speed tank commander. I wish you the best
Now bring in Bruce Boudreau and we will REALLY be pod racing
Gabby’s fire is exactly what this squad needs now
This gives me more hope for this organization. Verbeek has yet to show that he’ll settle for anything less than a championship for this team. And I like Eakins as a person, but it was obvious he was in over his head at the NHL level.
I wish him the best of luck with his future team and a genuine ty for the top #3 pick.
