Daniel Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 It's plausible now that Lou and ownership have decided that the strategy is to tank this season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldply123 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 TG: Lamoreillo said he doesn't have a set time period for how long he will be going behind the bench. He also said "No promises" on next head coach whatever that means. Basically, no one knows lol. Only thing I can think of is nobody decent wants this job considering it's a mess here right now. Coaching guys are fickle and want a reasonable situation to walk into. It's not clear yet whether Lou is committed to the rebuild and his own status as GM should very much now be in question. Hopefully we get some serious evaluation and some moves made by the trade deadline and the offseason that push this team on the path forward.

coldply123 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 72 years old and coaching the team? The fvck did they fire Barr for? Who knows. Lou will give some lazy excuse about accountability that never applies to him or his front office/scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Could be, why taint a new coach with a tank strategy right? Teflon Lou knows Stevens and he will be still loved no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Honestly if this hodge podge mess is the best he could do, then he shouldve just kept Deboer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 @TGfireandice: Lamoriello said it was unfaiir in this situation to ask one person to come in and be the head coach for for rest of season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans (including some here) were throwing darts at Stevens when he was on the staff the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If you wanted to tank, why wouldn't you leave the guy in charge who is losing a lot of games? Why would you change anything at all? This is going to be very weird, and I doubt it's going to work, but it's at least interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grcenter47 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) do you think the players will respond better to lou? i am not expecting a turnaround but maybe play harder Edited December 27, 2014 by grcenter47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William D'Aquila Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) I could see a big trade in the proceeding months involving some of our young defensemen. Lou is going to have the finger on the pulse of the team, and will comfortably be able to shed assets of worth.

This is going to be very weird, and I doubt it's going to work, but it's at least interesting. To evaluate Stevens/Oates/other coaching options? This whole thing's making my head spin. I did half-jokingly predict off board that Stevens was going to be the next head coach a few minutes after Pete was canned, I didn't think I'd actually be kind of right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
