ZeroGravityFat Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 with his defensive style, we actually have a shot if we hunker down in our own end all of the game and wait for a break out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneykoIsGod Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Oh please let this be true. Not as anything against MacLean. I just wanna see what dastardly head games Lemaire has thought up with all that time off. And hopefully he has a badass evil stache now too so he can twist the ends of it while maniacally chomping his bubblegum of doom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundstrom Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 i wanna see TG on this - i think we'll have an answer by 11 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allthegoodnamesweretaken Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I won't believe it until someone credible reports it, like TG. If it did turn out to be true I think Langs is as good as gone. obviously it's hard to believe, but i want to believe..

HellOnICE Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'll take it at this point - at least Jacques is better at press conferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg19 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The rumor translated from French that I read, said MacLean quit after 33 games, but it was a translation so who knows. Probably all just a rumor, though I would like to see it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 If this is true ... I mean come on! The guy "quit" months ago. Get down here and coach your mess, Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown01NJ Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 http://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2010/12/devils_fire_coach_john_maclean.html 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. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
