As I said, it's absolutely brutal. Might be the worst stretch we've ever seen. Goals above expected is horrendous. Also, our PK, which Nas is responsible for, has greatly improved. Again, I don't want to seem like I love Nas lol, if he doesn't come back, I won't be sad lol. Just saying that he's not ONLY bad.

But IMO the options are a) Management already have something in mind for next season. Either Dineen or that european coach or something else and don't feel a temporary change would be beneficial considering the state of the team. From that point of view, i'm not saying i agree but I can understand why they wouldn't just fire coaches just to find a temporary coaches for a few months. Guys are already confused as it is, learning a new system right now might not help much. Unless it would be from the new coaching staff that'd be there for awhile. b) Management already have something in mind for next season. Either Dineen or that european coach or something else and couldn't find someone that they were happy with. c) Management decided to write off this season and get a good pick. d) Somehow Fitz actually believe in his coaching staff and knows more than we do and see that the players are actually not executing what the coaches are asking. e) Fitz just suck and he's clueless f) Nasrredine has information that could ruin Fitz life and has him by the balls. g) The management REALLY want us to challenge for Bedard or Michkov next season and they are doing this all on purpose like you'd see in movies... or Ted Lasso. So those are all scenarios that i believe could be the reason. I just have no idea what it is really. So for my sanity, i just choose to believe one that doesn't make me want to punch a wall every game. I'm fully happy to believe that we'll suck enough this year so that there's no chance Nas is back and that we get a new coaching staff next season and a better pick to trade or draft this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure... So I take 134, divide that by 50 (games played to date), multiply that by 82, and come up with: FIRE nASS AS SOON AS THIS SEASON ENDS, FFS!

I think this is very plausible too. Dineen would obviously not make any miracle this year in the NHL. And if we move him up, we're basically throwing a wrench in their season which is really beneficial to Holtz and other youngsters. If he was coaching another team not linked to us and that our prospects maybe he could have been brought in, but making this change would impact both our teams and both our teams would sort of suffer from it while we're not doing anything special in the NHL this year and our AHL team has a chance to win actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more this is my hope. What will REALLY piss me off is if Dineen is promoted to the Devils' HC this offseason, but Fitz insists on saddling him with nASS. Let this guy put together his own staff...with none of the current "coaches" sticking around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be more accountability from management. Where's Fitzgerald? He has been given a lot of rope. You don't keep a former interim coach on a new coaching staff. They'll probably look to promote Dineen. Bedard is special. He's an insane talent with game-breaking speed and a lethal shot. He also has good vision. Very exciting prospect. Michkov won't be in the league until his KHL contract expires. I think that's 2025 or '26. But whoever takes him will get an NHL ready player who should have an immediate impact. That'll be a great draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i dont think many people would want another season like this where we'd be a lottery team lol If i'd get on the conspiracy theorist bandwagon i'd think that the lack of any communication or interviews we've seen from Fitz "could" mean that the orders are coming from above him. You'd think if not he'd be put in front of the cameras at once every.... 2-3 months haha I really don't know what's going on to be honest but something feel strange from this side of the fence Edited February 19, 2022 by SterioDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, however, have the highest scaled score on the Multistate Bar Exam of anyone who ever shared their score with me. By a lot, I was about 44 points above average.

SterioDesign Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Silly thought but should we maybe talk about hockey eventually on page 83? I'll give it a shot. I just read this on hf board Quote According Sat Shah of Sportsnet 650 whom I believe has broken some Canuck signings before like Hughes extension etc. He mentions that he has heard that the Canucks have had deep conversations with the Devils regarding a Dickenson for Zacha trade. Shah said that the Devils are not interested in giving Zacha a raise or a long term commitment. However, rather than walking away from any RFA salary arbitration in the off-season , the Devils instead have had conversations with the Canucks about Jason Dickenson whom apparently the Devils believe bring alot of the same attributes as Zacha but more importantly is cost controlled for 2 more years at 2.6 mil. My god if we actually trade zacha but get Dickenson instead of Garland or Boeser. Man that'd be like getting a pair of socks for christmas when you expected a playstation 9 Edited February 20, 2022 by SterioDesign 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
