'7' Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 This is the most obvious thing ever Still, I'd rather have neither as coach. Knowing Lou's recent decision making, he'll probably pick Oates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when he sucks (and he will), I think the owners say 'enough of this garbage'. Oates is an awful coach.

TheMazz Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah fvck that. If this happens, Lou needs to go. Enough. Just... Enough. From what I got out of everything it seems to be like both have the support of the locker room and elsewhere and that another hire, an outsider would be a pretty out of left field thing. Also, one of the major points I thought was interesting was Steve saying that he felt Adam was going to blossom, no matter who the coach was going to be, including Pete, while when I interviewed Chico he said he didn't know why the coaching staff doesn't like Larsson (at the time and referring to Pete) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Cangi is the consummate professional. That said, he has about as much inside information as Stan Fischler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think Lou survives one more offseason I think and have heard rumblings the new owners may be pushing for some front office changes and transition planning soon where Lou would sort of be a senior president but relinquish GM and oversight of scouting to a new person.

Devilsfan118 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Even though Steve works with/for the team, I'm not holding his word as fact. Doubt he honestly knows much.

TheMazz Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) "Bryce is a good guy and has been an absolute pro in that locker room for the longest time. Fans give him a bad rep and I feel horrible for him because he is a good pro. People seem to forget how good he was in 2012 by the way. I’m not saying that we should continue to throw roses at players years later, I understand that’s the universe we live in but the Devils have had one magical run since 2003 and Bryce Salvador was a big, big part of that. People should not forget how good he was during a lot of those post season games." Fun fact: After I got done interviewing the guy he said, (and Chico mentioned this too) is that him and the crew lurks HF, NJD's offical Facebook page and this forum the most. Also, again, I am at awe at how different his answer was from Chico's. Chico pretty much ripped the guy apart. You could tell one is a total company guy and the other isn't at all/wasn't. But I do these interviews, basically for you guys. I have no other promotion other than here and FB. Reddit IP banned me and HF won't let me post anything unless I post 3 interviews a week, which isn't happening. So basically, all of these Devils interviews are for you guys and I thank you for supporting reading them and asking questions. I'm sure I'll have more soon. Maybe I'll do one with Dano or Johnny Mac next. Edited February 14, 2015 by TheMazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMinder Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks Mazz! As for the MSG/Devils org lurkers, that is why I always post as if I was talking to them in person. I feel bad with some of the comments knowing they do make it up the chain to the players and broadcasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mac would be an awesome one. Besides talking about his time in NJ (88, 1994 ECF, Stanley Cup in 1995, what led to his trade), I'd love to know about how he reflects on his head coaching stint in NJ, and then seeing them play extremely well under Lemaire, his time as an assistant under Pat Burns and the 03 Cup team, etc. Does he think his coaching career is over? He's probably as good as an interview subect that you could get. As for the difference between Chico/Steve, I completely disagree since Chico is no longer with the team/MSG. He can say whatever he wants right now, and it wouldn't change anything. I also don't thin he ripped Salvador, rather than ripping the idea of an older player being the captain of the team. I loved that opinion because when your team is struggling, it's hard to be a leader and motivator when guys can't look to you to be a difference maker. Also, Steve is right about Bryce and the treatment. It's always unfair when a really good guy takes a beating for other people's decisions. He seems like an awesome guy who was just put in a bad spot. Edited February 14, 2015 by devilsrule33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm going to make a wild guess and say Kirk Muller will be the head coach next year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
