LucifersDog Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Lou needs to start thinking about firing DeBoer. There are too many players stuck in a slump to mention. Hedberg needs to stop playing the puck, stay in goal. Kinkaid needs to get a shot in goal on NHL ice. Some of these AHL players don't belong in the NHL, you know who they are. We have 4th line players at best playing on the 3rd line and maybe they shouldn't be with the big team. Lou trades will be difficult who wants what you have to give up? Maybe this post will bring about an afternoon win on Saturday at 3 PM. This ship must turn and soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJCroMag Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Lou needs to start thinking about firing DeBoer. If you were standing in front of me right now, I'd make a fist with my left hand, clench it really tight until it turned fiery red, rear back with all my might and... ...punch the wall, right before telling you exactly how displeased I was with that comment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Another afternoon game??? Well, expectation is at the lowest of this season. Besides the coach, the captain looks brutal both on and off the ice. Time to change captain, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoythesilence Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Lou needs to start thinking about firing DeBoer. Really?! Fire the coach who took his team to the SCF in his first year. I think he is a phenomenal coach. The team is just going through a slump and not finishing off their chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTS79 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) We are all frustrated and just like in the stanley cup they just don't have enough offense. they just can't get the puck in the net. I actually thought they played better last night than they've played in a couple of weeks (just couldn't get the puck in the net) I'm a big fan of DeBoer though. I think he's a big reason why they went to the cup last year. I don't like how Lou pulls the trigger with coaches too often. I still don't think Larry Robinson should have been fired in 02 because of a bad start (despite going to the cup 2 years in a row before that). DeBoer is not the problem. They just don't have enough offense. Elias and Kovelchek have very nice games, but they don't have a lot of offense around them Like I said though, they played their best game last night since the 2 penguins games (I thought they were pretty bad in even the wins against the flyers and caps). sometimes it's just bad bounces and the other goalie playing lights out and I think that's what happened yesterday. If they played the way they played yesterday for the rest of the season they'll be ok (they'll start getting some bounces again). All the games before this (during this 8 game drought) they were out played, that wasn't the case last night. I do understand your frustration though, but don't forget last year they had a bad start and played really well in the 2nd half. This year's start was so good that it helps them to still be in playoff position (despite being so bad for the last 8 or 9 games) Lou needs to start thinking about firing DeBoer. There are too many players stuck in a slump to mention. Hedberg needs to stop playing the puck, stay in goal. Kinkaid needs to get a shot in goal on NHL ice. Some of these AHL players don't belong in the NHL, you know who they are. We have 4th line players at best playing on the 3rd line and maybe they shouldn't be with the big team. Lou trades will be difficult who wants what you have to give up? Maybe this post will bring about an afternoon win on Saturday at 3 PM. This ship must turn and soon. I agree. Just like Larry Robinson should have never been fired in 02, DeBoer should be here for awhile. I love what I've seen from this team in the last year and a half that he's been here. I've seen heart and toughness that I haven't seen since the 95-03 era. DeBoer has helped bring the old grit back they lost for almost 10 years. Really?! Fire the coach who took his team to the SCF in his first year. I think he is a phenomenal coach. The team is just going through a slump and not finishing off their chances.

EdgeControl Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Clarkson at 3% over last 10 games, henrique one goal in last 10, kovy 0'fer winnipeg and a minus 3. zajac MIA on the score sheet patty 2 goals in last 10 is our "hot guy" a serious power shortage and avg goaltending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravityFat Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 team looked solid yesterday. they need to shoot the puck on net and we should be on a winning streak by next week's end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldply123 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Devils have a weak group of forwards right now and not much that can be added from an average defensive group, at least in terms of playmaking and speed/offense. I dont see Lou able to do much with this bunch until the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was hard finding the image in the first place. So, I think he's gone forever. This is the age of austerity after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I don't know about firing DeBoer. I do know that this isn't a slump, but a major problem with the team as a whole. They're just not clicking anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucifersDog Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Wow there wasn't that much reaction when Lou fired Claude Julian. I said Lou should think about firing DeBoer, think about. I do think this is not a slump since 2/12/13. Bench the entire team. BTW anyone that thinks that Zubrus coming back will turn this around doesn't know the Devils.

Neb00rs Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 You know it's funny, on the front page of the site - all I saw was, "It's time, bench..." I instantly thought to myself, "Oh who is it this time? You know LD, if we listened to you the whole team would be benched."......Touche sir, touche.

EdgeControl Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 agree, Slump is a misconseption, more like a correction. how much more can we expect out of patty, greene and clarkson? Zubie is a support player, to an extent so is travis. defensively we got old fast, zid looked like he was playing by a thread last year, that thread broke. we knew there were too many goals that left the team. the good thing is there arent that many strong teams out there and we have a decent system. so we'll be fighting for a PO spot. heck maybe our superstar catches fire! is it time to move patty up with zajac and kovy? or is that too much ice time where these 3 are sitting?

SterioDesign Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 and the kings didnt have a place for him, what does that tell you? Carter didnt have a place in Florida and he's been fvcking awesome for us, not that he's producing a lot but i like him since he's been in NJ.

LucifersDog Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Close this thread it didn't work. Maybe I need to start one against Lou who believes in this cheap team. We have ZERO offense. Kovy had a bad day as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 and the kings didnt have a place for him, what does that tell you? It tells me that different players excel under different systems. Or that Loktionov is a top 6 center who doesn't get a spot in the lineup over Kopitar or Mike Richards. The Kings haven't been so great this year either. I wouldn't say we're in that much trouble just because Loktionov is looking really good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
