Mike Brown Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm starting to think Lou might even be trying to sabotage our team. /sarcasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 . No he makes it home with a job, because Lou will rationalize the last two games being partial products of Zajac and Elias' absences. No moves. Status quo. Maybe this is what fans expect due to Lou's history, but this team doesn't have the talent of Lemaire's team's in the late 90s, or Ftorek in 2000, or Robinson in 2002. If someone deserves to go, it has to be Lou over Pete in my opinion. I think Pete is a very good coach and that's the sentiments of people way smarter than me. He hasn't lost the locker room or anything. The Devils have never quit on him. The team has lot a boatload of talent since the 2012 Cup run (which he coached), lost some very good coaches, and they have been replaced with nobody. The team has no forward prospects in the organization either. No new coach is really going to do all that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Positives- Larsson, Larsson and Adam Larsson Once this team starts to get on a roll we lose like 3 key guys. Typical Larsson and Gelinas looked good tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 They did improve upon last nights paltry 3 shot on goal period with a whole 4 shots on goal in the 3rd tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm also waiting for the breaks and puck luck that was due to come our way 20 games ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm still firmly of the position that Lou is uncharted waters here. For most of his tenure he's had at least a decent squad. I mean to basically start out with the game plan in 11-12 that you would build your team around Parise, Clarkson, Kovalchuk and Larsson then lose 3 of 4 two season's later with no good forward prospects, well, you're fvcked basically.

Maybe so, but there was more drive and discipline on those teams. Plus you had a bunch of guys that came up from the minors that played the Devils system from day one.

sundstrom Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I wanna see our best lineup for at least 10 games before counting this team out. who was hurt the first 10 games? clowe? sorry. that's not going to change my opinion. missing your two best players tonight certainly matters but it's now two games with 0 goals and not enough shots or scoring chances to do anything with. sometimes, you just need to bottom out and you have to hit when you do it. regardless of what people think, they're going to show they hit once with larsson. just need to do it again over the next couple of years. the multi-years to clowe/brunner/ryder look to be lou's worst offseason ever.

'7' Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Team has too much age on it. As soon as guys start coming back others will get hurt...Jagr's groin will act up. Clowe will get dinged up again etc. It's rare to see the best lineup together even among well built teams. Somebody is usually always out Clowe looked awful when he was out there. He isn't as clumsy as Clarkson but he's slow Edited November 4, 2013 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
