I can't take seriously such funny arguments. 'We're total joke, but at least we're not bankrots'
You support an opposite point? OK, lets' see. Time will show who's right
Sure i have no idea about team's future. But you probably have no memories what Lou did for Devils
'The Devils made the playoffs in all but five of his 27 seasons as GM, and appeared in the Stanley Cup Finals in 1995 (won), 2000 (won), 2001 (lost), 2003 (won) and 2012 (lost)' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Lamoriello#Devils_President_and_general_manager
Nobody lost Kovalchuk. Man announced himself that he 'want retire from the NHL, expressing a desire to return to Russia along with his family'. And Lou had nothing to do with it. Parise, Clarkson? Look at the time, when they run. Coincidence? Maybe
Losing to toilet teams, and became leagues' laughing stock. Incredibly clear way to playoffs
Excellent. While others' goal is Stanley Cup, we must be satisfied with only fact, that our team saved from bankruptcy.
This team was a Stanley Cup finalist. And since the arrival of the new saviours, they're total nonsense. That's truth
Its' like an endless tragicomedy
When Daryl Katz bought Oilers, he told locals - no playoffs in this old barn. Edmontonians and all fans around the globe waited patiently, before the Rogers Place finally open it's gates. 12 terrible seasons of waiting, losing fans, dissapointments, etc. Now the Place is ready, and Oilers is flourishing
Our problem is neither Shero, nor any of the management send us some glues. Do we need a new place? No. We move, as example, to another NJ city? No. What should we wait for? No idea. We don't sink, but not sail. Just stuck on the rocks
Good point - maybe they are preparing some kind of surprise. But i don't know what to expect from them
Bad point - look at 76's and English soccer team Crystal Palace. They are own by the Devils' owners
They can keep them in the West. Theoretically. Reasons for Houston
1. More than 6 mln. metro population; 2. Excellent Toyota Center; 3. History of legendary Houston Aeros. Four-time WHA champions, four-time division champions and two-time Avco Trophy; 4. 'Texas derby' - Aeros vs. Stars;
Just an assumption, of course
I think there's no need to trade someone. Just improve RW and D lines
KHL, Finnish, Swedish, Czech, Slovak and even German leagues is full of cheap talent lads. Bring them to Binghampton. Then choose the best of them. Show the road to an NHL. Make their dreams come truth - membership of big boys elite hockey society. And who knows, holding the Stanley Cup. First for them, fourth for us
It's like watching Slapshot. Not single movie, but Survivor-style reality show. About unfortunate hockey team, who sooner or later became real stars. Not now, but next series. Next seasons
I assumed it 3 or 4 months ago. Players don't respect Hynes, lot of fans too. But management don't care
Remind me the Leicester story. With two differences. First, Devils isn't a defending Stanley Cup winners. Second, Leicester management showed respect to the opinion of their players, and fired Ranieri
