    Lindy Ruff RELIEVED Of duties, Green Temp Coach

    in Hell

    Posted

    Let's hope that your forum here will now being less toxic... Now that all the crybabies got their toy at Christmas.

    There is no doubt that the hate that is so powerful in this place will now redirect at full force on a new scapegoat to make you feel all better... I guess Fitz is the next target of your frustration and need for blood. 

    Damn I miss this place so much... I mean the place it used to be. Anyway... Have fun full of hate people. Celebrate until your next hunt.

    What’s different now is Lou hasn’t been the GM in eight years. Ruff is still the coach. I don’t think I need to define the word ‘relevant’ for you, as you seem reasonably intelligent. 

    I will not go as far as seeing me as very intelligent but you seems to miss my point. And there i will not blame your smartness but clearly my broken english. My point wasn't about compare Lou & Ruff ... And if it's not relevant (as i will gladly admit it's not) let's scratch it from my message ! As it has very little to do with previous posters and Lou... Let's forget about it
    My point was that the non stop hate toward Ruff is boring to me. And you may think that my use of the world " hate " is a tad too much but when i see constant messages asking for his head ... Hey ! smell like hate to me ... (and i admit, i'm not dealing that well with hate)

    Once again, nothing personal from me.. And as @NJDevils1214 point out, I can totally go away from here. Duly noted and it was awesome the time it last right ?  He is right after all.. Why come if i'm not having a good time with this ? More than 21 years of fun being around here it wasn't that bad !

    Ok then keep throwing all your trash at our coach every 5 mn and by venting like that making this forum boring to read again... But yeah of course you are way better at this that other previous posters that you despite... 

    Am I happy at this season? Certainly not (is the season over? Nop.. BTW) especially after last year? No... And i guess the coach last year was so much different than this year... And this season is all him and nothing to do with bunch of rookies in D (who will be so great.. That's for sure) and the lost of 2 veterans that without them... Exposed guy like sieg' big time... But all Ruff's fault and last year he was just lucky and got nothing to do with success. 

    I got it. 

    But it's obviously your forum, not mine... So keep the same narrative.

    The Ruff hate make this forum tough to read once again... 

    I will not judge people's opinion and not starting to go into a debate if they are wrong, right or obssess with this... But some of you (and you know who you are) got 80% of their message about Ruff being bad. We got it the first 50 messages. 

    I remember that some people who is no longer there got accused of always bring up some topic (for example about their hate of Lou) .... what's different now ? Of course you can say that you wish you would have another coach (knowing for sure that Ruff is going to stay the whole year) it's totally fair to say that and to be frustrated about this team this year (and putting almost everything at the coach) ... it's fair and it's a forum where you can talk about it... but come on ! Almost every post ...  

    And it's the same complain you do when we see some posters only when there is a lost ... it's irritating right ? It's the same feeling when the same pattern happens here : A win ? Some hero save the coach ass. A lost ? stupid old ass who doesn't adjust ! 

    You may have a lot of valid point ... i'm not saying... but it's the non stop hate that make it so difficult to read ! We already know your position and it's a fair one... no need to force it into our throat all the time.

     

    Anyway... Luke is awesome !

    Bastian has to be hating life tonight.   He got healthy scratched for Brendan F’ing Smith playing out of his “natural” position against the team that waived him two years ago.  

    If he doesn't play it's all his fault... Smith is playing forward also because Bastian doesn't play his game ! He is having a difficult season so far

    It wasn't just the Rangers series, re:  Schmid...he did put up a .922 save% in the regular season last year (I get it, you kinda got it out for him).  And two brief slumps (5 games each) dragged down VV's overall year...most of the season he was stopping well over 92% of the shots coming his way.

    I'm not saying that they're locks to do this again, but at the same time, I don't think Fitz is necessarily going to write one or the other off that quickly, especially with their low price tags.  I suspect it will take another 3-4 weeks of sub-.900 save% goaltending before Fitz really heats up the search (and considers doing the cap gymnastics that will come with trying to acquire a potential upgrade).

     

    3 or 4 more weeks of that level and no (at the very least) some thinking from Fitz to change the situation will show that our GM is not the right guy for this job.. And our GM is the right guy for this job i think ; ) 
    I have no idea if this article got some solid journalistic backup... but smoke, fire .. all that. Unless we are changing our trend, goal against will be a real issue to reach playoff (and not even talking about winning some series). And we all know that the first real movement will not be in the forward group and like it or not but Ruff will be our coach this season. So change could only happen in D or Goalie ... I'm very much into bringing a badass in our lineup to bolt our defense (Zadorov ?) but one can said that bringing a big defenseman will block the arrival of one of our current prospect... While we have close to nothing in goalie (there is always hope in prospect but let's just say that we don't have a top prospect there yet) and if Akira is our best young player ... That's scary ! 

    I'm not panicking and wanna make a move for a move... I always was (and still am) a big VV fan but let's face it, he is a really good backup. While, yes, i have zero faith in Akira to be the next guy. I will have no problem admiting that i was dead wrong about this ! I would love to admit this !

    Maybe Fitz does explore adding a goalie at some point, but these articles (and so many of the ones written by competing columnists) are so rarely based on anything truly CONCRETE.  It's all pure speculation and guesswork, and writers (many of whom these days have just as little inside information as any of us do) just coming up with their own lists of players who might be a fit.  

    I also hate that these articles have a way of ignoring obvious issues...like the fact that the Devils don't really have the cap room to add anyone remotely expensive in net (unless the plan is to send VV the other way).

    The two words that stuck out to me are "nothing imminent".  For now it's going to be see if one or both of these guys can again resemble the mostly solid tandem of 2022-23.  

    I'm pretty sure if something could make it work, Fitz will do a trade immediatly. We can't have a chance this year with these goalies. Yes problems with our defense i agree... Yes one had a pretty decent season (and i wish we could keep VV as a backup) ... and yes, the other one got one amazing serie against Rangers (it seems that gave him a pass but hey.. fans are gonna be fans) but at some point they are nowhere near stealing us some games THIS season. Perfect scenario would be to send Akira to AHL (for at least the rest of the season) and having VV as a backup but yeah salary will be a problem, it's true ! 

    I'm certain that Fitz is someone would find a way to bring a goalie with our salary structure.
