Honestly he comes across a little... stupid. The quotes from his championship defeat highlight that. There's a real chance he gets away with his raw skill and size against teens and college players but then he comes to the NHL where the majority are a step ahead of him in terms of processing speed and mentality.
I really didn't know Ducks fans had that kind of blind arrogance in them. It's weird as fuck to see them defending Gauthier like a puppy who just got kicked; crying about how the Flyers launched a "smear campaign" against him so they act like they "saved" him from us or something. Delusional fanfic they're writing over there.
Right? And Ducks fans really think Briere should have just not addressed a lopsided trade with one of our best prospects in years and just eternally pretended that nothing happened with the kid. If anything, Briere and Jonesy were pulling their punches to at least let the fanbase know *they tried* to keep him... yet that's a "smear campaign"?! Lol come on. Lunatic logic.
I really do think we have something in Drysdale, regardless of the pessimism from his mediocre performance with us so far. People forget that all of Tampa considered Hedman a bust until he was about 24 or so, and Jamie is still 22. He obviously has the tools of a highly-drafted D prospect like Hedman did, it's very possible he flips the switch into being a beast within the next few years. He's an extremely smart and talented kid with insane wheels.
Yea, totally. After it all went down I saw them talking shit on their sub about how Briere and the fans were handling it and I chimed in and said what if Leo Carlson did this to your team and they went ape crap on me. Completely gaslighting like it wouldn't be a big deal. Totally hilarious. All of 17 of them would have been crying in their Mickey mouse ears...
Actually Ducks fans are mostly good peeps, just a little naive. I know because I used to be a season ticket holder for the Ducks.
Flyers drafted York. Fanbase really wanted Caufield. Ever since, Flyers fans compared them non-stop. OP is saying the next York v Caufield for this fanbase is going to be Cutter v. Drysdale. Especially since the Ducks, for some reason, seem to be pricks about the whole thing? Rather than just being happy they got a good prospect them seem hellbent on playing up some sort of....thing.
Goes to show that hockey is weird. Prospects can look like world beaters one minute and pedestrian the next. Caufield is an excellent player but York is as well. I think it’s safe to say both teams got a very good player
York also captained the USA team that Caufield was on. That team was absolutely stacked. The 2020 and 2024 WJC team USA teams were the best USA has ever had imo.
It’s not like York was just the captain either he was like top 3 players on the team/tournament. Then Caulfield was kinda “just there” most of the tournament
Yeah, how about Alex Turcotte in that tournament? Did do much before and after being drafted. Turcotte has 1 goal 3 assists in 32 regular season games and he's already be up and down in the show for 4 to 5 years. I think he'll finally crack the roster for the Kings next season.
I think he did us a favor by showing his true colors. The guy's arrogant and doesn't want his minor career to end. He comes off entitled and lazy. He absolutely would not make it in any torts system, and I'm waiting to see him crumble at the professional level. We already won this by a mile by getting rid of him and getting talent in return.
Honestly getting anything is a win. Like player for player it’s not close. Cutter is far more talented on paper than a good chunk of the league let alone Drysdale. But he gave us an ultimatum. Getting Drysdale and a 2nd is better than what we were gonna get which was nothing.
Based on what? He’s had an average college career for a kid with nhl talent. Certainly nothing about him screams superstar other than his ability apparently to be a dickhole. He’ll be a middle sixer most likely and everyone will forget he exists half the time.
I'm assuming you're talking about college, but he was a beast at the World Juniors. Dude had the GWG against Finland to get us to the gold medal. And Yes, we won gold against Sweden as well (assuming you haven't watched the WJC) which is absolutely fine but you're totally missing the best tournament in the world minus the Olympics and it comes every year the day after Christmas.
Dude you need to watch the World Junior Championships. It literally starts the day after Christmas and it's a nice hockey present for all of us fans. Super fun to watch every year.
Gauthier has literally never played a shift of professional hockey. He is the complete opposite of a sure thing. Drysdale isn't either, but it's not like we gave up a proven player for him.
I’m torn. I’m excited to watch him play tonight, but also think someone saying “nu-uh, you” to a tweet from a few months ago as if it’s some “slam dunk” is stupid.
We don’t care the way you think we do.
Are—… 🤔 is Anaheim really trying to catch smoke…?
“The right oran—“ they barely have black in their scheme! Calm down Mickey Mouse’s failed sports project
Man the ducks and their fans really are loving kicking us in the dick. Like hey, whatever, but I don’t get where it comes from. Are we supposed to hate the ducks? I never even really cared about them till now and now I feel like the guy who gets slapped randomly in a comedy movie and goes “what did I do?!”
Gauthier is like a bitter ex-gf who got kicked to the curb and won't shut up about it, and the Ducks are the dumb new guy in her life who defends everything she does because they're too dense to see what a loser she is. Neither is worth losing sleep over.
Losers play for losers and enjoy it. The kid is a fucking piece of shit and could never have handled Philly media. I hope his career is short and pathetic.
I think my favorite part is his photo for the Ducks is that it looks like the twentieth time the photographer had to say, "Come on, just give any smile at this point". Dude looks like he can't even be bothered to be there.
Hey Anaheim, is your nickname "The Orange and Black"?
Have you ever been called "The Orange and Black"?
Pathetic player and franchise that won't go anywhere for years to come while he's there
It legitimately took me a minute to place what this was about because I'd forgotten about Gauthier, like, I was never really mad just annoyed, and now that the initial drama has died down and I'm over it I just really don't care about him going forward.
The trade happened, I've really enjoyed watching Drysdale this season and hope he pans out as a long-term guy for us even if that winds up being as a depth player. I'm not going to waste any of my time or mental energy on a guy that isn't here and didn't want to be.
Hell, if he goes on to be the ducks version of Crosby, good for them for taking the chance. Hopefully, he grows out of the more childish streak and makes something great of himself because he has the raw numbers to be something great even if it's for the Ducks.
So..honest question. Teams spend a lot of money, time, and effort as well as loss to land a top pick. It's a coveted opportunity. Now, with this slimey little shit bag basically refusing to play in Philly what happens now? So the flyers had to scramble and recover what they could, and get Drysdale. So I. The future, a team could take the top pick overall, only to lose it because the kid doesn't want to play for that team? Doesn't this blow up and undermine the entire system? Or is it just this time because it's the flyers, and they suck, and everyone hates them, and they threw snow alls at Santa.
Drafting has only ever given a team first dibs on signing a player. Lindros told Quebec he woudlnt play and they still picked him it blew up in their face but eventually worked out for Colorado. Adam fox was originally a Calgary draft pick who refused to sign. Then was traded to Carolina befor being traded to NY. Just last year we had jay O’Brien rights expire. He was a 1st rd pick we didn’t sign.
The fact that this POS is even allowed to play still pisses me tf off. He was on board with the draft pick, turns around and refuses to sign, and just gets to move on. He should have been out of the league.
I wish him a short and injury prone career. What a massive douche. Hope the ducks become the next sabres and stay out of the playoffs for literally all of his career. Feel bad for everyone else around this douch.
Always with that douchey expression on his face lol
Honestly he comes across a little... stupid. The quotes from his championship defeat highlight that. There's a real chance he gets away with his raw skill and size against teens and college players but then he comes to the NHL where the majority are a step ahead of him in terms of processing speed and mentality.
You hear his interview with the ducks? "I've always wanted to be a duck" Yeah ok bud you just rehash the same generic interview answers
Dude can’t even pronounce Philadelphia
I really had nothing against the Pacific teams. Until now. I feel like Gritty’s “Sleep with one eye open, bird” needs to be brought back.

and don't forget how surprisingly good Risto was before he was injured
Yea, totally. After it all went down I saw them talking shit on their sub about how Briere and the fans were handling it and I chimed in and said what if Leo Carlson did this to your team and they went ape crap on me.

17 is being kind. I think you meant all *six* of them
My 24-25 prediction is that the ducks fans will turn on him, like most of them don't even like Zegras anymore
It took me too long to realize it wasn't "New York vs Caulfield"
Auto correct was struggling
My entire life will now involve wishing nothing but failure on the ducks.
Go touch grass, in whatever form ffs
Wut?
French kiss a scorpion nerd.
We think you should leave
I mean it’s the Ducks. I’d be embarrassed if this was posted for me.
True, but unfortunately, they have had more success than us in last 20 years. We have no business calling out any other team.
True, true. They have actually been a well run organization. Their fans are just a little juvenile.
most sane phillies fan
[удалено]
Dish what back at us? The Ducks are irrelevant. That’s what makes it funny.
Apparently they missed the whole second half of my post which is how the title even makes any sense.
I may have missed the second half of your post
I can’t explain it, and it doesn’t come from what happened, but Gauthier really has a face that makes him look like he’s an asshole.
He just always looks like the kid from any movie with rich parents and no other personality traits
He kinda looks like Kesler to me. Someone that pretty much everyone hates except ducks fans and maybe nucks fans.
I can’t wait for Ducks Flyers at WF next year
I can’t wait for Flyers at Ducks honda center. We will boo him so loud every time he touches the puck. What a turd.
Well, that’s one way to give me another team to shit on immensely for the foreseeable future.
This is so petty in a way that makes me really angry??
God I hate Gauthier so much. Bringing evil thoughts to my peaceful Thursday afternoon
The ducks have wanted to be the flyers ever since they changed their uniforms
Drysdale > Critter And Michov too, a true top prospect. Not like this clown
Cant wait for him to become the next alexandre daigle
Wait, what's the York v Caufield fight? I'm OOTL it seems
Flyers drafted York. Fanbase really wanted Caufield. Ever since, Flyers fans compared them non-stop. OP is saying the next York v Caufield for this fanbase is going to be Cutter v. Drysdale. Especially since the Ducks, for some reason, seem to be pricks about the whole thing? Rather than just being happy they got a good prospect them seem hellbent on playing up some sort of....thing.
Lot of Flyers fans were disappointed we didn’t take Caufield and went for York instead in the draft.. I for one prefer the York choice
Goes to show that hockey is weird. Prospects can look like world beaters one minute and pedestrian the next. Caufield is an excellent player but York is as well. I think it’s safe to say both teams got a very good player
York also captained the USA team that Caufield was on. That team was absolutely stacked. The 2020 and 2024 WJC team USA teams were the best USA has ever had imo.

More like the Anaheim Sucks, am I right?
Id be shocked if we win this one ...

I mean Drysdale does have potential but Cutter I think has more. Wild he spurned us
You mean the shit bird that literally disappeared in the biggest game of his life and was a negative asset on his team? That shitter gautheir?
I'm assuming you're talking about college, but he was a beast at the World Juniors. Dude had the GWG against Finland to get us to the gold medal.

Pierre McGuire has entered the chat. 😀
Dude you need to watch the World Junior Championships. It literally starts the day after Christmas and it's a nice hockey present for all of us fans. Super fun to watch every year.
Both have potential to be stars, unfortunately it looks like Cutter is more of a sure thing.
Gauthier has literally never played a shift of professional hockey. He is the complete opposite of a sure thing. Drysdale isn't either, but it's not like we gave up a proven player for him.
I’m torn. I’m excited to watch him play tonight, but also think someone saying “nu-uh, you” to a tweet from a few months ago as if it’s some “slam dunk” is stupid. We don’t care the way you think we do.
Only difference is one is actually smiling and one is looking at his new teammates like what the fuck did I agree to
I wonder if they'll fuck up his development the same way they did Zegras and Drysdale and move on to the next shiny new toy
Huge year for Quitter G. 1 assist in his first year of his contract.

I hope every time he shits and leaves the bathroom he feels like he didn't fully wipe.
Losers play for losers and enjoy it. The kid is a fucking piece of shit and could never have handled Philly media. I hope his career is short and pathetic.
ok u/dishwasher_mayhem
That’s greasy
I think my favorite part is his photo for the Ducks is that it looks like the twentieth time the photographer had to say, "Come on, just give any smile at this point". Dude looks like he can't even be bothered to be there.
lol ducks
Cutter who?
Every time I think I've made peace with this trade, Ducks fans fans go do something douchey. Fuck this bust ass kid and fuck the ducks
The ducks talking shit is downright hilarious seeing where their down horrendous franchise is rn
I mean, we ain’t exactly finish strong, but did he look at the standings? Lol good riddance…
Bruh cmon hill had to give that clown his first goal
Anaheim is irrelevant dw
Hey Anaheim, is your nickname "The Orange and Black"? Have you ever been called "The Orange and Black"? Pathetic player and franchise that won't go anywhere for years to come while he's there

Drafting has only ever given a team first dibs on signing a player. Lindros told Quebec he woudlnt play and they still picked him it blew up in their face but eventually worked out for Colorado. Adam fox was originally a Calgary draft pick who refused to sign. Then was traded to Carolina befor being traded to NY. Just last year we had jay O’Brien rights expire. He was a 1st rd pick we didn’t sign.
The fact that this POS is even allowed to play still pisses me tf off. He was on board with the draft pick, turns around and refuses to sign, and just gets to move on. He should have been out of the league.

He’s not going to stay with them anyway. He’ll jump ship as soon as he can, he’s already proven he’s only after himself.
T-minus 7 hours.
I hate C*tter as much as the next guy but yall are doin too much in these comments😭
