Brett Brown will enter his seventh season with their 76ers despite a .362 winning percentage and back-to-back losses in the Eastern Conference semifinals." That doesnt bode well for Devils fans. If H&B tolerate losing, wtf. Edited October 15, 2019 by slasher72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Funny enough, the Devils kind of need a semi-miracle whether things start to turn around under Hynes or not. The Devils have picked up 2 points through six games. Not winning in your first six games is really not good. The Devils are in a huge hole. 98 points was the East cutoff for the playoffs last year. For the Devils to get 98 points, they would have to get 96 of 152 remaining points (63%) a la something like 45 - 25 - 6. No small task.

Maybe in the very short term say that night. It fixes nothing for those who beleiev that Hynes must go. It would almost be the worst case scenario in the big picture.

The team would still need to string some W’s together thereafter, which after a big rivalry win can kickstart their season. Don’t know how people can root for the team to lose six games in.

They have about a week off between games against the Canucks and Yotes - I think it makes a ton of sense to fire Hynes on Saturday and have either an interim or new head coach start on Monday. Gives him and his new staff a couple days to get oriented. We could be buried by then. Waiting makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Bob MacKenzie in Insider Trading says Shero isn’t thinking of firing Hynes, nor the staff, at this time. Mac had the usual poor goaltending poor defense scapegoats, hunted Nico is day to day, but to not expect Hynes to get fired any time soon. He suggested Ray would make a roster move before firing him. if this is accurate, and obviously Bobby Mac is one of the best, then I’m just as pissed at Ray as I am at the staff. He’s allowing the roster he built to be wasted early and often, and apparently is complacent in it. https://www.tsn.ca/video/insider-trading-growing-sense-of-optimism-surrounding-byfuglien-s-return~1804737 video is available globally Edited October 15, 2019 by jagknife 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 There better be loud FIRE HYNES chants going forward. Not that it will make a difference in Shero’s idiotic obsession with Hynes, but it’ll be a way to let off steam and let the people in charge know their paying customers are pissed off.

No he's going to stick behind him until the moment he decides to fire him as any GM would. From 10/25/2010: Quote A 2-6-1 start has New Jersey last in the Eastern Conference and 29th overall in the NHL but head coach John MacLean is not on the firing line at this point, Lamoriello said. "There's no thought whatsoever," Lamoriello told ESPN.com Monday. "John has done an exceptional job. I have no issue with him. Our record certainly isn't what any of us like, but it has nothing to do with coaching." https://www.espn.com/new-york/nhl/news/story?id=5725798 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, as you say, "Ray shouldn’t/wouldn’t openly say in public 'my coach is incompetent'" aka you ain't going to know that Hynes is going to get fired until it happens - whether it's next week, or Shero waits as long as two months. When Shero SHOULD fire Hynes is a different debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 10/25/2010: No, Shero isn’t going to say anything directly, but a guy like MaKenzie would be able to figure it out since the organization would be sending feelers out to coaching candidates who themselves have agents and so for5h. And it took Lou an additional month to fire MacLean after that quote, and that’s a coach who didn’t have a track record of futility like Hynes. I’ve never been more embarrassed to be a Devils fan. fvck Hynes and fvck Shero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
