hystyk28 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) I am surprised they just didn't bump him down to Bingo. Not really sure what this does other than makes it look better to the masses. I guess the payroll doesn't really go up either. Still a nice troll job I think to those who really wanted John gone...

DevilMinder Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yeah,not sure if Nas'is much better since his units suck too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) The PK has been weak this year but honestly, as the season has unfolded and looking at the entire Hynes tenure, the only stability really has been Nas's PK system. It makes sense for an interim situation, not a permanent gig. Everyone on that staff has culpability.

Aznjsn Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'm in complete shock. It finally happened. One step in the right direction til we find a real head coach and ship Nas out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkin cutter Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Should be another exciting offseason for us. Don’t mess it up this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0asterleav1ns Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Nas sucks, but he's fine for the rest of this season. Too much damage has been done unfortunatley.... lets get another high draft pick and hope we can entice a decent coach to coming here in the offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 lmao. Sorry that's pathetic kinda like being half pregnant. Now all the sudden Nas brings something to the table here. Can't make this sh!t up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devs1965 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Nas as interim coach? Really? I hope temporary is as in one game! Oh I know hey Ray maybe we can bring back Joe Cirella to play defense!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Maybe Nas is awesome and Hynes was holding him back. We blamed Hynes for everything, might as well press that button while we're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Nas has never been a head coach in his career. Sure step right up. FFS at least Kowalsky coached a bunch of years at the AHL level but he was never a Pen. Don't get me wrong they should of all been shown the door.

Rob_Ottawa Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 No to this. Get rid of entire staff, cleanse all the bad ideas and bad coaching. Surely there must be someone out there who is better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It needed to be done, but holy sh!t - is this team a complete sh!t show right now. There's no magic button here, I'm really concerned about where this team is now with the entire talent pool of this organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) It's worth pointing out that from almost all accounts John Hynes is a decent human being, so it's not fun that this day had to come but it did have to come given the gap between roster talent and results. The Devils did their best under Hynes to offer some stability to Hall for the first time in his career. Part of that stability was Hynes himself - Hall has openly praised his coaching before - and it'd be my best guess that Hall was supportive of Hynes behind the scenes this entire year. No doubt that Hynes leaving all but seals the deal for Hall's exit from NJ. Amazing how fast things have spiraled downwards since 2017-18. And yet, somehow the future is still bright.

I think this was an incredibly painful decision for Ray...this is just speculation on my part, but it wouldn't surprise me if Fitz reported to Shero that there were some issues with Hynes' coaching and recommended making a change sooner, but Shero wanted to give Hynes a chance to pull the Devils out of this thing...until he realized that he simply had no other choice. But at least he did it...and at least that will put an end to the "Hynes is here to stay no matter what, he's Shero's buddy!" crap. It would be easy to say "fvcking NAS?! Really Ray?!"...and initially that was my first reaction, but Nas is what he is: an interim. Unless the Devils enjoy a massive turnaround under his watch, this is temporary. We'll see when the REAL next coach of the Devils takes the reigns. Edited December 3, 2019 by Colorado Rockies 1976 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's really not impossible. But then with all the sh!t coming out they obviously backed down or are looking into it. Not trying to make excuses for Shero. It just doesn't really make sense how it's going down without having some sort of logical explanations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils01 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Temporary for sure. Message needed to be sent after such a loss. Ray is hunting for Someone. But after making a move as he did putting nas as interim this means he’s not going anywhere anytime soon... fvck unless he too sh!ts the bed for the next few games.

We'll see when the REAL next coach of the Devils takes the reigns. The hot takes on a hockey forum of a bottom of the barrel hockey team can get pretty callous and ruthless sometimes - and perhaps rightly so in the name of frustration, but re: the bolded, I'm obliged to completely agree with that take. Still, as we know, no single person can be bigger than the team if you want to win or for that matter run a successful franchise no matter how good the person in question is and I imagine unless the Devils go on some sort of magical run now, Ray waiting this long to drop Hynes won't reflect well on him. That said, people are willing to have short memories given new successes and Ray can start such a trend off with a solid return for Hall.
