Just watched this on the dvr. It’s hard for me to find the words to truly express how disgusted I am with this team in OT this season. I guess I’ll just go with pathetic. I’m ready for new coaches.

Man HoI nailed it re: Wood - if he's not going to score, you at least need him to be physical and play with an edge.
Man what the hell happened to him? Got his big contract so he's gone on cruise control?
He hasn’t been the same since his suspension last year.

So yeah. Tri is right. 35 needs to get some work in w/o hampering the big team. I don't know what else to do. Let him be back up tonight, but send him down for the weekend at least. I think Hynes thought, as did I, that the team would come out with fire last night and not on the 2nd end of a back to back - which is been what 35 has been working with. But it didn't matter.
Shero hasn't upgraded the team since the trade deadline, and those didn't workout. I don't know the specifics around what's possible then/offseason/now - but it's been tough going. We need D badly. I do know - some of the D is playing above their should-be-slots, that's never good - and we need to find a way to push Greene down and lighten Vatanen's load. This is a hard question to answer.
The coaching. I just don't know what to make of it. Is it the way the team is playing, the system, coaching? Are we playing a style of hockey that fits the roster and its deficiencies or are we trying to push the roster into a style that may not fit who we have.
Lastly - I just feel like we're easy to play against. I don't know - I feel like we don't have pushback. Not saying goon it up, but the shots Kucherov takes, I don't want to see that anymore. Not saying we need a Tom Wilson, but I'd like Wood to step in and do something if he isn't scoring.
Which is the exact opposite of what other teams coaches and players were saying last year. And it wasn’t just Hall. I wish I knew what it was, but I agree with the bold. So many of our losses are not even close.

Andy Greene is killing this team. I cannot believe we have another year of him. I just can't believe it.
We just.. have to buy him out after this year. I don't see a way around it, because clearly the staff will not sit him so long as he's healthy.
I'm having horrible flashbacks to when Salvador was captain. The "C" is the only thing keeping him in the lineup at this point. Can we NOT give the captaincy to old 'role playing' defensemen anymore?
Should have went to Zajac after Parise bolted.

Fire Hynes
in Hell
2 minutes ago, MadDog2020 said:I don’t know man.... Shero waited FOREVER to pull the trigger on Disco Dan back in Pittsburgh. I’m not convinced Hynes doesn’t get the whole season no matter what.
Especially with Hynes being his guy.

Remain in the basement. This isn’t fun.

I went to Buffalo, so conference rivals.
Ah, gotcha. I only root for them in hockey. I still hate them in football for producing rapist ass Big Ben.

I forcibly forgot he was a Red Hawk, no wonder I have a predisposition to hate that piece of sh!t
Hey now...I don’t follow college too much, but I do root for Miami. Oxford is only about 45 minutes from Cincy.

That's what you get for hiring hue Jackson as a defensive assistant lmao.. that backfired.. you have a ginger problem everywhere
Hue is actually an assistant HC. I like to joke that’s he’s basically assistant to the regional manager. But that’s actually insulting towards Dwight. Lol

The days of the Devils having a dominate defense long gone my friends................
They’ve been gone for about a decade lol

And since I’m gonna pile on Greene at this point:
something that has pissed me off since the Behnind the Glass episode premiered: what the fvck does he know about being on a championship team? Outside of the conference championship, what the fvck does he know about winning anything? He said something to the extent of “championship teams always” blah blah blah in the first episode and it irked the sh!t out of me.
Never win sh!t at Miami (OH) either, so he must be taking about when he was 8 or something.

Yea I dont think firing Hynes at this point does anything.
Maybe the next guy would at least strip Greene’s C, and actually hold him accountable for his horrendous play.

Love that kid.

Sorry guys. Guess I'm the jinx. It would be really nice if I could go to a game and not be disappointed.
Drive to Pittsburgh.

I’ve had it with him and his black cloud. He can’t stop a beach ball at this point.... I’m telling you, between this disaster and the Dolphins trainwreck, my head feels like it’s ready to explode. Days like today make me wish I didn’t like sports. 😞
Dude, my team got embarrassed by the fvcking Browns today. At home. Our coach has been here 16 seasons with O playoff wins, and our backup QB played better than our ginger haired choirboy starter...
I need to go watch some old videos of the 00 and 03 Devils or something to bring me off the ledge lol

But like you said, when is enough enough with Cory. At what point do we stop trotting him out there in the hopes he turns his sh!t around. Sure he rebounded rather admirably in Carolina, but he still is a liability
Saying Cory rebounded admirably is like saying the 16 year old kid did well on his driving test after initially hitting the two old ladies in the crosswalk. The damage was already done.
Cory DOOMS this team. Every. Single. Start.

So will Ray Shero be confirming he’s actually alive and breathing anytime soon? Because my patience is getting thin.
He need to do something. Every loss is a fvcking embarrassment anymore.

So who should we draft in the first round? Any stud dmen this year?

Rico, we seriously miss you ! lol
Greene would be playing even more minutes if not for Vatanen.

Probably time to send Cory to the AHL and let him try to work this out over 15-20 games. If someone actually picked him up off of waivers, that wouldn’t be so bad either.
I’m not sure he could win in the ECHL at this point...

Just now, slasher72 said:
Why is it that Tampa is so damn deep? Oh that's right, they had have a GM and scouting department that knows how to draft well. Something we were missing the past 15 years with King Lou and that idiot Conte.
Stevie Y is gone now at least, but unfortunately he built them to be competitive for years.

Fire Hynes

Didn’t know Q said that. There goes my hope for an upgrade.
I’m honestly at my lowest point as far as my sports teams go since before we got Hall.
