Lazar in for Wood. Taking Marino out would be insane. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 A real coach would’ve had Kreider picking up his teeth after the first goal he scored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance, all (unless Severson comes cheap which he won’t). Tatar maybe also - wouldn’t mind seeing him back on reasonable deal I never want to see Miles wood on this team ever again. Everyone but Lindy the Lost knew he was gonna take another boneheaded penalty. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Wood and Smith are just hurting the team even more with their stupidity and Palat, Hamilton, Mercer, and Bratt are far from their best. Are they playing?

They are professionals with a season that brought 112 points and 52 wins both team records and this is what happens? It’s just pathetic. Losing is one thing but losing like this 2 games in a row is effng sad. Sad, but wait till brilliant Bruins get kicked out after the first round. The season doesn't matter any more.

MadDog2020 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I now want blood as well. Target Fox, Trouba, Kreider, the cabbie beating rapist- If it gets out hand, baseball slashes to the fvcking face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 This is the learning curve. It sucks that it's happening against the Rangers. Many, many posters in here didn't want the Rangers as a matchup for this very reason. Let's see what the third period looks like. I want to be a fly in the Devil locker room to hear what Nico and Jack have to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Lindy Ruff is a regular season coach, at best. He is not a coach you want to lead a team through the post season. The game moves too fast for him to keep up, especially since he doesn’t adjust, anything, other than line blending. He IS the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting here live it is obvious that he has been totally overmatched physically along the end boards EVERY time. He has lost puck after puck because he just gets smashed. Watch that this period I am sure you will see. And his judgment has been horrid. He gets the hook. And I love the guy, and have a soft spot for him because we have the same alma mater.

The fact that the Devils managed 112 points with such a useless stiff in charge has me optimistic what an actual thinking head coach will get out of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIDevsFan1 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I haven’t posted in like a decade maybe more but have followed . Felt like Ruff got a lot of unnecessary flak here for someone that led (yes many will say he was a passenger) a 49 point turnaround. And no I don’t think if Hughes Bo or Seigs were in we’d be winning this game. But I think the Peter Principle is now in effect for Ruff. Time for a cushy front office job. Brunette hasn’t impressed either. Hope they go ba**s out for rest of game and series—give Luke some experience and re-engineer the coaching staff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
