Arrogant fvck. I always wonder why commissioners (Goodell is the same way) insist on forever taking the "Nope, you're all wrong, what you're seeing isn't really how things are, whatever WE tell you, THAT'S how it is, we're smarter than everyone!" approach. Arizona is a fvcking dumpster fire Gary...everyone can see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team is still in Arizona because of Gary Bettman’s ginormous ego, and for no other reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Frustrating watching another franchise make the obvious decision and seeing it immediately pay off while we sit here with a barely competent coaching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Realistically, who are the options though? Also, I imagine it's even harder when you have to replace the entire staff and not just the HC. I mean... We sit here and complain... Watch them fire Ruff, arguably the lesser of the coaching evils, and let Nass coach the team again. What nightmare fuel.

Nicomo Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was pretty against hiring Bruce Boudreau because of his “playoff failures” I would kill for Bruce Boudreau right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What nightmare fuel. nASS getting the head coaching gig again would signal to me the Fitz has no more rounds in the chamber and he’s done. As for candidates to replace the atrocity known as our staff (in no particular order, and just the 3 I could think of without really researching): - Torts - Jim Montgomery - he’s in the final year of a 2 year assistant coaching gig with the Blues and seems to have conquered his demons. - Kevin Dinnen - sorry Utica, but you having a historic season isn’t enough to keep me from trying to right the parent ship.

It might be somewhat interesting to see how he’d deal with Subban, but I don’t want him going all curmudgeon on guys like Jack, Bratt, Mercer, etc. He’s much better suited for a more established team full of veterans. The Devils need someone more like Montgomery, who is used to dealing with younger players from his time coaching at the college level. All of our best players not named Dougie Hamilton are that age anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the PP needs to be dead last (currently 31st) before we can even replace an assistant coach… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
