When the choices are Wood or Zacha, you go with Wood. Should have happened two games ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not see what Coleman can do getting some shifts up there? Why fix what isn't broken, I guess. Because the Coleman and Goose line has been our best for some time now and it would be stupid to break it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman and Goose, yea. Zajac has had little to no influence on the offensive aid eof that line. So again, why not try Nico with them?

So again, why not try Nico with them? Then we literally have one line teams have to worry about shutting down. Need more balance than that. I said I thought Wood should get moved up two games ago, so this is one time I actually agree with the coaching decision. At the very least Nico, Bratt, Wood, should be hard to play against. Better than Mr Invisible anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i don't want to hire someone... because of who they are... i want someone for what they can do. This is backward thinking like the oscars or movies trying to cast specific people to be more inclusive... or a company trying to fill a quota so that there's equal representation... or MTL who need a french speaking coach and GM... Just get the best person for the job. That's it. IF Stevens is the best head coach available then sure... I'd trust having Elias joining the staff but not cause he was a Devils.. cause i know he has one of the highest hockey IQ ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a pretty good assistant coach and he’s a pretty smart guy. Elias can have whatever position he wants as far as I’m concerned but I think he could make a good assistant coach. Not sure who else could be brought in to be honest. No thanks to Maclean. Bruce Driver coaches girls hockey, and I think he’s happy doing that, but he could be a possibility. I can’t think of many other former Devils who are still involved in the NHL. Housley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary thought to think these decisions maybe based on a popularity contest. There's now a good number of proven high quality head coaches out there. Imo now is not the time to try your luck with an unproven alumni. Tired of treading water here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of treading water here. yeah with guys like Gallant, Laviolette and Babcock out there... you don't go with an unproven coach if unless you really have to. If we were a playoffs team with a strong group... then sure maybe you can pull it off.. but we need someone solid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Please no Brodeur as Gm and Stevens as HC with Elias as AC. I realy like Elias as AC, but no other than Patrik. If they will fvck up - it will be completly destroing or big peace of sh!t on our great past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored the first absolutely huge goal in the history of the franchise in ‘88. He was a stalwart for years, a part of the identity.
