He really is that guy who once threw strikes with ease and now can't find the plate to save his life. Just leave him in Bingo. He’s the Rick Ankiel of hockey, only he won’t revive his career switching to forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I agree Cory is done, but I will also say starting him against Columbus was basically setting him up for failure. NJ never beats that team, especially in CLB, and that game was one of the worst games they've played all season after the first period.

vadvlfan Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I agree schneider is done. Blackwood is our starter, we need a good 1A. Not sure who's going to be out there, ( a few UFA's-Sparks, Khudobin, Halak, Hutchison). Wondering with Marty now " involved", will it start morphing into a D that more resembles old Devils. (just playing strong in our D zone) Blackwood has shown signs of being a really good starter, with occasional lapses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's interim only. Devils could have a new GM this summer, and if that's the case, does it make sense to saddle that GM with a coach that he may not really want? GMs usually take the job with the understanding that they're going to get to pick their guys. I can't say status-quo (Nas is absolutely that in my eyes) thrills me either, and the next few months are pretty much going to suck, but I'd rather this gets done correctly...go get your GM, then let that GM hire his coach...no guarantees of course, but I don't want anything done back-asswards. There's obviously well-known names out there that no one is jumping on at the moment...I 100% don't believe that Nas is the answer in the slightest and I'm definitely on board with him being replaced, but unless the Devils are prepared to commit to a GM in-season (be it Fitz or someone else), there probably isn't much of a point in hiring a HC at the moment....especially since there's no miracle run coming, and chances are the Devils will be finishing last in the Metro no matter who's coaching them from here on out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know new GM should get their choice, but when other teams are making franchise altering changes, and we’re sitting idly it’s frustrating. I understand the not rushing to find a new GM, hell even the new coach (look at what’s happened since Lavi, after all), but this shroud of complete chaos surrounding the organization is frustrating and frankly, a little embarrassing.

All the more reason not to make any rash decisions intended to placate the masses. The season is over. Yeah, things feel a little chaotic right now and like I said, I'm not championing Nas by any means, but I'd rather the Devils take a step back for the moment.

Rob_Ottawa Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Whatever happens, please no Claude Julien part 2. Can't stand that guy and he isn't what I want in a coach. Give me drill sergeant with an iron will please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I can't see them bringing in either a full time GM or a full time coach to finish out this season. I suspect they'll start with a fresh GM after the season and before the draft, and then that guy will choose his coach. Having the interim GM hire a full time coach doesn't really make a lot of sense, unless the interim GM is interim in name only and will soon be the full time GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the same boat. This week has given me more time to binge-watch Frasier which I have been doing for almost two weeks now. I saw plenty of episodes when it came out in the 90's and early 2000's, but I decided to sit down and re-watch the entire series for the first time since then and really into it.

NJDfan1711 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ordinarily I'd miss watching games this entire week, but I just started a new job yesterday, so I've been a little busy and occupied with all the normal stuff that comes with that, so I'm finding my way through it. Like DM said, I have a few other shows I'm slowly working my way through, and the team has sucked for the better part of this season anyway, so even though I still watch every game, if I miss one, or they're on a long break like now, it's not the end of the world.

jagknife Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 We're catching up on Letterkenny as a nasty bug rips its way through my house. First it was me and the smaller of the little guys, now the wife has it just as bad as I did. Project Bluebook comes back tonight, which had a pretty good first season. I'm VERY curious about this season cause it supposedly takes place in Roswell, which is about 2 hours from me right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine recommended Letterkenny to me, but I don't remember what it's about. Is it good? Also, is it only on Hulu? I thought he brought that up when we were discussing what good shows Hulu had, and if it was worth subscribing to, but not positive. I don't have Hulu, tried a free trial a year or two ago, but it was only for a month or so. 11/22/63 was awesome, but not enough to make me sign up.
