Ducks Fans Slam Team Over Possible Next Head Coach
The Anaheim Ducks have been one of the worst teams in the entire NHL over the past few seasons. Anaheim hasn't reached the postseason since the 2017-18 season, essentially being a bottom-feeder of the league. Despite a decent jump in the standings this past year, Anaheim decided that it was time to move on from head coach Greg Cronin. Even with the jump, the Ducks believed that it was more on the players, rather than Cronin. Advertisement Now with an opening coaching position, it seems that Anaheim may be getting closer to finalizing the next head coach. It has been reported that the Ducks are serious about bringing in former Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. Quenneville was part of the 2010 Blackhawks scandal and has been out of the league for the past few seasons. The Blackhawks were accused of covering up a sexual assault that occurred during the 2010 NHL Playoffs between a former player and a video coach. Quenneville reportedly knew about this, but was told by management not to do anything until after the Stanley Cup Finals were over. The veteran coach is one of the best in NHL history, but many worry about him being included back into the league.

Nothing has been finalized at this time, but the fanbase is very upset with this decision from Anaheim. Some fans have even taken time to write the Ducks about the concern level that they have. One fan account has encouraged others to do so as well. It remains to be seen if the Ducks will end up hiring Quenneville, but many of the fans don't seem too happy about it. Anaheim has some tough decisions to make, and with a young team, they can't afford to keep making mistakes.
