It's an emotional response. For years we've been a team struggling to score and sucking defensively with bad goaltending. By default what is that going to do to the players +/- lol like you said, it's just a dumb stat. The fact that a shot either went in or not on a play most often than not doesnt reflect at all your personal play I posted the guy’s career +/-, in response to someone else’s post. That’s it. Not a peep about this game somehow being any more on him than anyone else. This doesn’t require any amateur psychoanalysis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunninWithTheDevil Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Devils were up 6-2 and I ran to Lowes to grab a few things. So guys, what'd I miss? We won right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Got some spare time do ya Sterio? Yeah, I’ve called him Minus Man a number of times…not exactly a secret, is it? I’m the one who started calling him that. Yeah I’ve ripped him plenty of times when he’s had bad games or mental lapses. I didn’t do that this time. Just posted a fact, re: a stat of his. Do with it what you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 So it was the worst blown lead for the team in 35 years, and it came directly after a 8-1 drubbing… it really feels like Ruff’s only being allowed to finish out the season because Fitz doesn’t want to screw over Utica by bringing Dineen up. I have mixed feelings about that tbh. On one hand I get it, and the Utica guys deserve a shot at a Cup, but otoh I want these coaches away from our young players like yesterday. And the big club should always take precedence over the minor league affiliate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let fvcking Zajac do it, he’s hanging around anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my own mental well being i'm choosing to assume Fitz knows this staff is not the solution but they figured that just letting them finish the season is best rather than just getting some randoms to finish the season and who's not guaranteed to bring any positives But if.... and i'm terrified to think about it. But if Fitz is keeping them because he truly believe they can get it done and that this season is on him for not being able to find decent goaltending... then i'm really worried. If you look at stats... Recchi should be gone. Not excuses. But if you look at our PK, who's 10th in the league at the moment.... with terrible goaltending... im petrified at the idea that Fitz could think that with a good goalie Nas would be fine with that job... ignoring the eye test that the guys 5 on 5 make so many mistakes on a regular basis. I also always assumed Ruff got that job as a temporary thing and not that he was THE solution. Considering he wasn't even given the opportunity to pick his own assistant coaches. But if he's still there next season... i dunno... Edited April 2, 2022 by SterioDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it in another thread, if it reaches 48 hours, Fitz is as good as fired as far as I’m concerned. It means he’s a delusional goalie just like his mentor and he needs to get as far away from this franchise as possible as well. We cannot afford to screw up the good youth we do have by false hope and blind faith in incompetent coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has survived this long, survived the Hynes years, Fitz would have canned him already if he felt he didnt measure up. I really think Fitz believes Nass is good.

And the big club should always take precedence over the minor league affiliate. I’m to the point of believing that the players HAVE to know that this “coaching staff” is on its way out…which makes me wonder if they’re even listening to them anymore. If the players are tuning them out, then it’s somewhat safe to assume that any further damage Dummies 1 through 3 could do is minimized. But not going to pretend that I don’t worry a little about this too. Even if it’s about “Until Dineen is brought up”, I HATE that these incompetents just get to keep on keepin’ on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re listing all the current problems with the Devils - Damon Severson isn’t even on the 1st page. And honestly he’s been way better than Dougie Hamilton (offensively and defensively), but yet he somehow gets a pass from most fans for some reason. I guess it’s only a matter of time before he gets his own disparaging nickname though… Agree fully in that after the coaching and the goaltending issues, it really feels like just about everything else is a distant third. re: Dougie, he hasn’t been here long enough for fans to start becoming frustrated with him…also looked every bit like what were hoping to get earlier on this season. Seves has given us PLENTY of frustrating moments for several years…not saying he’s never done anything good. But lots of WTF?! with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Doug's lack of interest and his gliding back on D is a concern, there should never be an appearance of a lack of effort especially from the new guy with the biggest wallet and highest expectations back there imo. Obviously he's more known as a offensive D but sh*t, do better. Edited April 2, 2022 by titans04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Tatar and Johnsson (I just don’t think they bring anything) and the “temporary warm body” goalies, I’m willing to give just about everyone else who’s still here next season a clean slate once a new staff is in place. I’m sure some guys are mentally spent…not saying it’s right, just the reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Got it. I just disagree when it comes to established vets who've been around especially someone like him. He didn't or shouldn't have forgotten how to try hard every night or the fundamentals of playing the game. I just don't put it all on the coaches. Sure they suck but come on we're seeing some brain dead instinctual stuff now all season. Give the kids a pass sure I guess. Total free pass, nah not imo. There's plenty of blame to go around stating with the invisible GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
