SS-SS Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I can already picture Stevens whispering in the ear of Volchenkov and telling him to go destroy this or that guy and then give him a tap on the shoulder when he comes back to the bench. "Not bad Volchy, but you forgot to the tell the other guy that he is next" Edited July 17, 2012 by SS-SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseydevils0324 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Adam Oates signs deal with the Caps Devils trade Larry Robinson to SJ for Matt Shaw Devils call up Scott Stevens So maybe Larry left because Stevens was ready to become an assistant.

ironsights Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Does that mean that Larry pointed to Scott and said... "You're next !" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grcenter47 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I wonder if PepperKorn bought season tickets behind the Devils bench this coming season both of these additions seem to be very good. i think stevens would be a great mentor for larsson and any of the possible rookies who try out for the team (e.g. merrill..etc. Is hoping for the next Rangers game where Tortorella opens his mouth again across the Devils bench and seeing Stevens react Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Excited that Scott Stevens is going to be behind the bench for the Devils next year! Hopefully Shaw works out but I'm never one to get my hopes up on the Devils having a strong PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs1965 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) PK must of passed out with all the great news, too think that she will be seeing Scott behind the bench every game and not a peep??? On the other hand I can't wait for the first game when Tortorella starts mouthing off, just to see that Stevens stare again= priceless! Welcome back behind the bench to a true Captain! Let's Go Devils!!!!! Edited July 18, 2012 by Devs1965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 This is great news. Sounds like shaw has done an amazing job. And Stevens is, well, Scotty fvckin Stevens. I like these hires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hmmm well see.........I am neutral right now on this. I've been Macleaned so I am very distrustful of former Devils player to coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 MacLean was a great assistant coach, though. good point. We know we have a good head coach anyways - that's really all that matters and whether or not Shaw can make our pp score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My jersey is relevant again This nearly made me fall off my chair! By that standard if you want a relevant item buy a suit jacket with Stevens stitched onto the back of it!! PK "retiring" sucks. I know you are out there PK!!! You are reading this!!!!!

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I get the feeling if Stevens works out, within the next 2-4 years he's a head coach, or at least will get an offer from someone...maybe even here if DeBoer's team ever were to falter. Not like Devils coaches stick around for terribly long under Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I can't wait for Torts to start sh!t again. Stevens doesn't get into shouting matches like Mac or DeBo. He kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Coaching has been so puzzling for NJ. You look at the structure we have, you would think we would have a Lindy Ruff type longevity. I don't want to think about Steven's as a head coach... because I want to ride with PDB for the ups and downs, and not can him in the first losing streak.

Colin226 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I can't wait for Torts to start sh!t again. Stevens doesn't get into shouting matches like Mac or DeBo. He kills. I've been thinking the same thing.. We've seen PDB vs Torts, Torts vs Lavi, Lavi vs Bylsma.. As much as you need an enforcer on the ice in the Atlantic Division, it seems like you need one on the bench even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95Crash Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Does anyone else follow (or I should say "like") Martinbrodeur30.com on Facebook? The reason i ask is about a week or 2 ago (whenever it was announced that Oates was leaving) i was going through "My Wall" on Facebook and there was a status update / article posted by MartinBrodeur30.com with something to the effect of "Devils Name Scott Stevens Asst. Coach" and when I clicked the link on it to the website it was a dead link and when I clicked back on my browser that status update was gone; forever. Long story short, it's like Marty (or really whomever runs his site) knew this a couple weeks ago and posted it by mistake and i happened to catch it for a split second. Not really news or anything, just wanted to share... PS - I like Scott Stevens. I did see when that happened, and I thought the same thing, that maybe Marty knew about it and posted it early by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Besides JMac, which coach got canned because the team wasn't getting luck? JMac was terrible... It wasnt about not getting luck lol you dont go 29-10-something just cause ur unlucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Besides JMac, which coach got canned because the team wasn't getting luck? Ftorek and Robinson the first time. Given that the only other true firing was Julien - Robinson stepped down, Sutter left, Burns had to step down - that's a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Like the addition of Shaw and love the addition of Stevens. Excited to see what they can bring to the team, especially now with Stevens on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion15 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Ftorek and Robinson the first time. Given that the only other true firing was Julien - Robinson stepped down, Sutter left, Burns had to step down - that's a lot. Ftorek with his bench rage episode. That was comical to watch but now its one of those moments from a professional standpoint. a bench!? I could see a stick or a water bottle or something loose, but to throw a bench!?
