KovalCup played pretty well!

JMAC said "fvcking Stop Fanning on the fvcking power play I am glad the fans booed you. fvcking disgrace."

He should have added "stop fvcking drinking all my vodka before the game, you drunk fvckers"...

KovalCup played pretty well!

I saw some nice plays, considering everything. He seemed to be playing like he had a few too many shots of vodka before the game...

So how are the Rangers able to score 6 goals on the mighty Islanders while we got....0?

The more burning question is how can the isles score 5 goals and we only score 1?

Maybe it's because the Rangers are better than the Devils

Lou, trade MacLean to Toronto for Ron Wilson.

Not just the New York Rangers but the Texas Rangers, Army Rangers and National Parks Rangers are all better than the Devs at hockey.

You forgot the Kitchener Rangers, they'd kick the sh!t out of this brigade of losers.

This is one of the worst games ive ever had the displeasure of attending.

It's only tied for the worst this year with the Sabres game...both times where I actually left during the second intermission and I've never done that before this season. Among my other worst (re: noncompetitive) games were a 6-1 beatdown by the Isles a few years back and a 4-1 game against Calgary where Brodeur gave up four goals on seven shots.

johnny mac just said to robinson

"these ******* fans. They're unbelievable. They booed us on the ******* powerplay. They're all ******* selfish."

i had to replay it back twice to read his lips to the full effect, but that is no joke what he just said.

Oh for crying out loud...well maybe he was looking for a way out of this ****hole, this would be one way to get fired if he did indeed say it and it gets into the mainstream media.

[Satans Hockey]

btw I looked on my dvr to see what you guys were talking about and I didn't see him say anything to that extent.

[HellOnICE]

I left after the 2nd too. I wasn't going to delay my 75 minute ride home for that sh!t.

You should leave after the game is 2 minutes old (2G against already).

[trailblazer]

i left at 2nd intermission as well.
was actually sitting 3 rows behind the bench and i had some choice words for these guys.
the effort is and energy level is shameful.
they deserved to get booed.

[coldply123]

Ugh.

MacLean is getting fired soon. The powerplay is pathetic and it's becoming worse by the moment. And the amount of ice time he gives Stephen Gionta is a joke.

For the record, I was never a fan of the hire and never thought much of MacLean from a coaching standpoint and never really liked how he handled himself towards the end of his career in leaving the Devils. I wanted Haviland and said so repeatedly.

Hopefully Arnott keeps putting up some points, and maybe we could finagle a 1st rounder from a team desperate for some scoring and size at C and some veteran experience. Langs needs to pick up his game if we are to be lucky enough to get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for him. And I know it's sacreligious, but if Brodeur comes back healthy and plays reasonably well, I'd ask him to consider a trade.

[ringtwins]

In the spirit of team they all should give up their no trades

[Devs1965]

Mac's time is up. I'm not even an advocate of him being fired because there must be some player movement as well but it's just time. Making a run to the playoffs this year will be a long shot at best but Lou can't continue to let this get more toxic. There is a lot of hockey left and this team is just playing ugly way too often. Tickets are not cheap and for those that are paying good money, well they deserve better then this. There have been way too many games that haven't even been competitive. The horrible defense on the first two goals and that 5 on 3 power play basically summed up the Devils season.

I really don't know about Mac's alleged comments about the fans but if he indeed get caught saying that.....wow. Not good at all. And imo he sh!t the bed big time by pulling Hedberg tonight. The team was just flat out awful in front of him to start this game. Perhaps a timeout to settle them down? I know it was early but Hedberg got a raw deal out there if you ask me.

I can not agree more, Lou needs to do something there is no chemistry, accountability . We need a coach who is going to hold players accountable. Kovalchuck has tied Lou's hands so the quickest shake up should be to get rid of JMac, Oats and offer the head coaching job to a strict coach, even with our injuries there is no reason for the inability to score it is a joke, and Kovalchuk looks like he has given up and is not in a slump he looks lost out there. No one seems comfortable on a steady basis.
I just watched the DVD of 2003 this afternoon and tonights game made me sick to see how far this team has fallen.
Hell put Scott Stevens and Dano as coaches they can't do much worse and they would not except the play of this team if we can even call it a team.

I really did debate leaving after the 5th goal but I stayed anyway, I hate leaving early, it makes me feel like I wasted even more money then I already did.

[hit the post]

well, here's the best i could do, by all means, you decide.

I think he said....hey Larry,can you believe I still coach this fvcking team.

[NJDevs4978]

The money's already gone anyway, I'd rather not waste the extra hour waiting for the next train to top that off. In ninety years of hockey there's been exactly one five-goal comeback after two periods and that was the LA-Edmonton playoff game in the early '80's, so that's pretty much my cutoff point. If we'd scored even one lousy goal on that 5-on-3 I would have stuck it out but that was pretty much the icing on a cake of ****.

[maxpower]

you can't decide once someone wrote a script. it's like Stairway to Heaven backwards. sounds like gibberish by itself, but if you listen to it with the script... lol.

I watch it without the script, and I see nothing but a very, very, very pissed off man

[Jerrydevil]

Gulitti said in his blog that Kovalchuk split without talking to reporters for the second straight game.

http://blogs.northje...ched_nine_guys/

About putting Kovalchuk with two of our scrubs:


When MacLean was asked why Ilya Kovalchuk (no goals in eight games, one in 16 contests) played with Adam Mair and Stephen Gionta in the third, he made it clear Kovalchuik was one of the players he would have liked to bench.

“It’s just the way it worked out,” MacLean said. “Guys were playing in different positions. Everybody had to work. As I said, one of probably nine that I could have (benched).”

[Whatthechuk]

Thank god this was the game I passed on for watching. Saw some highlights, and the joke continues.
I dont care if its not the coach making them place this bad.. the coach should always take the blame and since they aren't playing hockey change sh!t up. Not too educated on the devils prospect tendy situation on "who would be next".. how we looking?
