Oh sh!t!

From NJ.com

"John MacLean's short and rocky tenure as Devils coach has come to an end.

MacLean, who coached the injury-riddled team to an NHL-worst 20 points and 9-22-2 record, is expected to be replaced on an interim basis by former coach Jacque Lemaire, an NHL official confirmed.

The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the decision.

"

Too late Lou. What do you want to accomplish with this nonsense. Johnny Mac sucked. Period. You couldn't realize that fifteen games ago?

Well they're already only scoring one goal per game.

How much worse can it get with Jacques?

That being said I didn't like the decision to bring him back last year and I still don't like it. I was hoping for someone to take the team in a different direction instead of same old same old,

.....okay, terrific.

I'd buy this if it were a quitting, but if this is a firing, this is either a bitchfest from the players or a bitchfest from the owner to make some kind of change. And since no one is taking our refuse on the waiver or trade block...Johnny Mac is the man to go.

I'm not so sure Lemaire's going to save this season either, this team is still last in the league in goals, atrociously irresponsible defensively, and not getting any healthier. If they make it back to respectability, I blame Crasher, since he's the fan of both teams who quit on their coaches to get them fired. :P

That would probably be best for him anyways.

Disagree he has shown no signs to me that he cant play a full year in the NHL.

I would have said the same before the season started, but he has been fantastic. A small bright spot during this abortion of a season!
