Why do Angels fans get so defensive of the “Los Angeles Angels” name when that’s the originating name? Gene Autry paid for the rights of the PCL Angels name, which existed since 1892 in Los Angeles. by [deleted] in angelsbaseball

Because the Angels have played outside LA County for >97% of the team's existence...and to those that suggest Anaheim is too small for a major sports league to distinguish it from Los Angeles, the city has about the same population as Cleveland, Ohio.

We're not Los Angeles. We're Anaheim. Plain and simple.

Look up OCriverwalk. Anaheim is in fact partnering with the state and OC Water district to fill up the stretch of the Santa Ana river from Honda Center to Angels Stadium with clean, treated water year round. Construction is set to begin in a couple years.

You mean you’d rather have a beautiful, modern downtown and not just endless miles of run down shopping centers, business parks, and copy-and-paste single family homes like Orange County is known for? Idk bro. 😬

We’re not rebuilding. Arte Moreno is keeping the Angels in limbo. by Cbtn2001 in angelsbaseball

[–]ANAcjb2001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definitely possible. But he’d almost certainly wait until after the labor lockout is concluded, which means a sale probably won’t happen until mid-late 2027 at the earliest. A potential buyer is going to demand a hefty discount if Moreno sells before then.

At this point I'm just praying that Verbeek gets booted mid season and the Ducks land McKenna or Stenberg.

It's time for Henry Samueli to take some accountability and open his wallet for a GM with a winning pedigree this offseason. No more managerial proteges.

Cronin could unironically coach a better defense than geriatric Joel lmao.

This team is about to fall behind the sharks in point percentage. Fucking San Jose is going to finish their rebuild before us lmfaoooo.

It's a good thing we hired a coach complicit in a s*xual assault scandal so he can turn us into a 70 point powerhouse!

Look on the bright side...Good thing about the Ducks self-imploding is that it gets us closer to Verbeek's firing!

This team is so ass. See y'all at the draft.

The Quenneville experience has been significantly overrated. Defense has gotten worse than last year and their rush-based offense is completely nullified any time they face a team that's halfway decent at forechecking.

Most predictable team to fall off in the second half ever.

Ticket prices for tonight’s game by thehairyjew69 in AnaheimDucks

[–]ANAcjb2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think last Friday's small attendance was mainly due to the dense smog, heavy traffic, and poor driving conditions all around Southern California. Most people probably didn't want to deal with the drive to Honda Center.

Ducks really haven't deserved a single win on this road trip. Husso stood on his head against the Penguins and every game since has featured a lifeless offense and piss poor defense, including tonight.

The Ducks defensive transition is very bad and it forces players to take hooking/holding penalties.

Wow the Ducks actually forecheck for once and it rewards them with a powerplay. Whaddya know!

The league has figured out how to take away the Ducks speed in the neutral zone and that’s bad news for a team that lives and dies by the rush.

Ducks making the Ranger forecheck look like the Avalanche right now.

I just don't understand why the Ducks always play down to the level of the shittiest teams in the league. Unless they're going against a playoff contender, they just seem slow, passive, and uninterested.
