  1. No but we're the only one with 'two' lol...even now it's hard for me to ding Fitz because it's impossible to know what he actually KNEW and when about either player, but then again I didn't want to ding the apparent scumbag either based off of his...no commenting of the situation when most other people issued public denials (mostly cause public denials don't mean jacksh!t anyway - exhibit A the other scumbag Foote), but here we are with one guy who no-commented and another who was more vociferous on his innocence both being hauled away.
  2. Yeah odds are he wanted a two-year deal and nobody was willing to give it to him at 38, with his career of being up and down (albeit he's been mostly up in his two years here).
  3. Sure Fitz just keep sitting up in your box drinking Chardonnay as the season burns
  4. Marty in 2013-14 lol, those win or stat debates were a barrel of laughs
  5. Plus he was really supposed to be an AHL signing only, make just a token bro reunion with Nolan but he wouldn't have been anywhere near the Devils if Hamilton, Siegs and Smith weren't all out long-term. Imagine if this kind of thing broke a little closer to the outdoor game with three of the five players involved on both teams lol
  6. I find it hard to believe Fitz was on a lame-duck deal for this long, especially after last year. Especially after the head coach got an extension this offseason too. They weren't gonna let Tom give Lindy an extension and be cool with letting his contract status play out, especially since he would be sought after if he were a free agent.
  7. Especially when everyone knows who the five players on leave are, it's not like you need an announcement at this point for that.
  8. Considering this has been investigated for the better part of six years, and Hockey Canada's done their damndest to quash this with all due respect I don't want to hear innocent until proven guilty, it's not like someone just made an accusation yesterday and they were all hauled in today. I don't even want to hear any distinction between guys who did it and guys who just helped keep the secret, they're all pretty well culpable for me.
  9. Yeah that does have the feeling now of 'getting it in under the wire'.
  10. They'll both likely be on leave for the rest of the year while this all plays out then they're FA's anyway. None of the players involved were under contract beyond this year, that's not a coincidence.
  11. I can't remember the last GM who wasn't named Brian Burke that did that lol
  12. Compared to my other GM’s yes Fitz is up there with anyone since prime Lou so far (granted there isn’t a long illustrious list between the Mets, the Jets and Shero here), but now we’re coming up on a crossroads where is he going to be Joe Douglas and punt a season that doesn’t need to be punted or not?
  13. Welp that’s one way to get him to take questions lol
  14. I saw elsewhere that the Devils have scored first at home in just 3 of 22 games...holy hell. One of them had to be the Buffalo romp, literally our only home win this season that wasn't by one goal or one goal plus a late empty-netter.
  15. The unfortunate part is the way last year turned out after fans were calling for Lindy's scalp two horrible seasons in probably compels him to double down on the patience approach now. The possibility for that definitely exists with Vegas, Carolina and Tampa before the break...they could literally be 5-6 points out of a spot by the break.
  16. I doubt ownership cares about $4-5 million total maybe on a two-year deal for a head coach when they're spending up to the cap for a sh!tshow this year and own a billion other teams. What they should care about is the growing fan angst at the Rock but they probably are out of touch on that too.
  17. Say what you want about Lou and his post-2012 career, he showed again yesterday he still isn't going to tolerate underperforming and is still willing to think outside the box for a head coach hire. I wonder when that accountability shows up for anyone not named Holtz here.
  18. Marty was definitely shown making comments during one of the stoppage in play montages, don't know why you conveniently missed that one. I dunno what he's doing, it's a bad look on the surface that he's not in the building but it's not like anyone's gonna ask him, he's not in front of a media member every day anymore. Even if he was, it's not like anyone other than maybe Ryan would dare to tweak him.
  19. Yeah I don't get that either, but Marty's a stuffed suit now so maybe he had a meeting somewhere? It did seem like a random collection of players that showed up. A few guys like Driver and Andy Greene who barely played with Brylin, but obviously you're not going to get most of the big names to show up for a ten-minute ceremony that isn't a jersey retirement. At least Lou invented an all-time excuse to get out of it lol (firing Lambert for Patrick Roy).
  20. If I was just there myself I would have gone during the intermission too...but I did want to visit other friends a few sections over that I haven't seen in a while. Even they decided to clear out at 6-0 and they're not the most hardcore hockey fans in the world lol
  21. I don't know why people are saying there was no booing though, there was fvcking plenty of it and deservedly so. The loudest ones were at the end of the second period. At that point half the crowd left.
  22. Audible's a very loose term...it certainly wasn't the united front it was last year. I still think a very large chunk of the crowd is gunshy after having egg on its face last year. Ironically, Lindy deserves the damn chants a lot more with this underachieving husk of a team than he did last year after two seasons with a dreadful roster.
  23. He's not as close to the unemployment line as we may want...but it is funny how they seem to have little issue beating these crap teams on the road.
  24. Technically he didn’t bench him, he just jailed him on the scrub fourth line and naturally played that line less, but yeah the over the top tough love with Holtz is a bit much. It’d be one thing if he was a hard ass with everyone but he literally holds the most minute sh!t against Holtz and hasn’t said fvck all about anyone else this year sans sitting Timo for a period.
  25. The worst thing about Lindy tonight wasn’t even the Holtz bullsh!t or getting pissy with Novo, it’s the fact this dinosaur had us turtling in the third period to protect…a tie. At home. Against Montreal. If that’s not loserdom trash I don’t know what is - playing for OT just because you have ‘most’ of your good three on three players after you dominated the previous twenty or so minutes taking it to them and had all the momentum against a bad team on a back to back? fvck off with this sh!t
