HellOnICE Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I just feel like this is entertaining and will certainly give us something to talk about :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 So I guess Lou is the equivalent of the head coach, Oates is the offensive coordinator and Stevens is the defensive coordinator? Are the Devils moving to the AFC East or the NFC East? Bizarre is the only word I can come up with for this. Lou's going to get killed for this in the short term.

Triumph Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think press conferences should have Lou Stevens and Oates answering questions all at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion15 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) #firelouplz General manager Lou Lamoriello did not comment on the reasons behind the move or a possible replacement for DeBoer. In a release, the Devils said there would be no further comment until after Lamoriello addresses the team Saturday morning. That's great that he should tell the team first, but this business of keeping the fans in the dark is getting really old. Where's all the people claiming that as "paying fans" we all have the right to know what's going on with the team? Now's as good a time as ever to make that assertion... What exactly are Lou's/The Management's motives here?! Just say F the rest of the season and start fresh next year? Firing PDB, if that was going to happen anyway, should have been done last off-season and a new coach installed before camp. There's no way this setup will come together in time Edited December 27, 2014 by Legion15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Lets remember, we were 10 points ahead of last place in the standing and oilers had one game in hand when this happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hystyk28 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The room must be way worse than anyone has let on to. This is the equivalent of having Dad come down and give the kids some attitude adjustment. It puts Lou in the trenches and will really allow him to see how bad this roster is, so that is a plus.(there is a huge difference between sitting at suite level and sending out the next line of garbage personally) Not sure why Dave Barr was fired. They could have just removed the row of seats behind the bench to fit him in. This is gonna be interesting for sure, this screams Lou is fighting for his job. This just in... Oates has the mumps.

Satans Hockey Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) What a sh!t show day this is, you just know we are gonna get sh!t kicked by the Rangers later. How many other teams have had their GM come down and coach once? Let alone several times now? Ugh what a joke.

Lou claims him being on the bench is short-term whatever short-term means. Maybe it means be on the bench a month or so until you can trade some of these clowns and get cracking on GM stuff in February No wonder there was no leak about the head coach, cause we have no head coach. And atm no captain either lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grcenter47 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 so does lamoriello go on the mic,announce himself, steps out and comes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think press conferences should have Lou Stevens and Oates answering questions all at the same time. Or have Stevens answer questions after the home games and Oates after the road games. Sort of like what the Sabres did when Drury was captain for road games and Briere for home games (or the other way around). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitico12 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 This reeks of no one wanting to take the head coaching job. This also reeks of Lou losing his marbles. I can't see how "coaching by committee" is going to work with this group of washed up vets. It's going to become a beer league team soon considering that Oates and Stevens will only be there to facilitate lineups and line changes and that's it. Honestly, if he was going to go this route, he should have had a "player coach or player coaches" like Jagr or Elias. Remember when Chelsea FC had Gianluca Vialli as a player coach? I think that would have been interesting to watch...lol. Queue in the Price is Right's loser horn now... Oh my word... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 No, it isn't. How in the world do you get there? Okay my Martian friend, here's how. The owners happen to own a basketball where tanking is the stated strategy and there are two generational talents to be had. There is a mumps epidemic that is tearing through the locker room, with another victim just announced today. In the meantime you hastily fire a coach that the players still believe in, and has managed to keep a bad team if not competitive in the standings, at least most games. And you don't name an interim coach, but instead do, I don't know what. It'll be official when Jagr gets traded.

msweet Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 When they announce the starting lineups at the games, who will they announce as head coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
