devlman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Can this guy just once work the refs? Fight for your players. Show a pulse. Great fight back win tonight but the team makes the same crucial mistakes under his guidance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, kudos to the players for finding a way, because once again the sheer lack of coaching was fully on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear as day. Players stood up, fans yelled, Ruff just stood motionless. The players won despite the coaching. Lazar really tried to give his second intermission speech credit because that’s really all they’re getting from the coach.

jagknife Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I put this in the Fitz thread, but it’s worthy of being here. fitz is blind to the old idiot. He likes what he sees. news flash: he sucked 10 years ago as a coach, and he still sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oglethorpe13 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Article on the nhl site about Gallant looking to be a head coach again. I know Berube's name has floated around the board, but I think Gallant over Ruff would have some promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fair to point out that Gallant’s Rangers were so meh against the Devils after Games 1 and 2 that he lost his job because of it. We can throw names out, but as of this afternoon it’s more for the hell of it; based on Fitz’s comments, sure feels like Lindy is plenty safe for the time being. A shame…Berube actually has a Cup to his name, and the Blues fans weren’t happy to see him canned. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd rather have Berube, though. Mostly just done with lindy, wish Fitz wasn't as in love with him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like resounding no when it comes to Lindy. Dude should be an assistant at best. And even that’s questionable given how bad he was with the Rags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career should have ended once Buffalo sh!t canned him. Another retread dinosaur that the game absolutely lapped at this point. so fvcking stubborn and refused to ever change his system cause clearly he’s not the problem, the league is. Probably buys a ceramic Stanley cup each year, has a celebration in his house and convinces his demented ass that he lead his team to the promised land. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsgolf Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Not sure why keeping lindy ruff is even a topic of conversation. This guy has coached numerous teams and may have just over 850 wins, but sorry, never won a cup, don't care if he made a cup appearance. This guy is a fvcking loser and under zero circumstance should he be coaching in the nhl. Fitzgerald can also go to hell at this point, not doing a fvcking thing to fix any of this. Fvck these owners as well. Driving this franchise into the ground, I’m so sick of it. Sorry, I know I used to make $bitty posts like this in the past and I’ve been very quiet for quite some time now but this is more than deserving. Not fixing a fvcking thing, and didn’t even fix a fvcking thing when they didn’t have the injuries. This is such bull$hit. Waste of a year, and looking like this $hit won’t change for some time and owner$hit doesn’t seem to give a fvck. Fvck them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve spent right up to the cap, and from what we can tell they’ve left Fitz alone to run things how he wants. They’ve allowed him to bring in big names like Dougie and Timo, and they’ve made sure he had the money lock up the core players like Jack, Nico, and Bratt.

And Fitz’s hands much be getting awfully hot and sweaty because he’s been sitting on them for weeks now. If I’m ever charged with a crime that I clearly committed, I want Fitz on my jury, because no matter how much evidence is presented that shows that I definitely did it, he still won’t be convinced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 To the above, a lack of a system seems very apparent at this point. Our PP sucks now, and in general we seem incapable of playing dump and chase, which directly affects our zone entries, ability to sustain pressure, puck possession, and zone time. I can't remember who said it, but now would be a great time to make a change. Give the new, even if interim, coach a chance to work with the players for a week or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Thinking about it a little more, I have to imagine that Fitz is looking at what Lou did and seeing that a change behind the bench didn't immediately turn the Isles ship around. I believe they're 1-2-1 with Roy. Not exactly amazing. We'll see how they do post All Star break, but I don't think Fitz is going to be persuaded by anything he sees around the league to make a change of his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Lindy is, if he had any real track record of success (or if he had been in the slightest bit of demand before Fitz plucked him off the HC scrap heap), I’d be somewhat inclined to give him some benefit of the doubt. Does Fitz really genuinely believe that Lindy - fvcking LINDY?! - is the guy who’s ever taking them all the way? I just feel like he’s getting treated with reverence by Fitz that he flat-out has not earned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Fitz’s assistant coach when he was playing in Florida back in the day. There is obviously a personal relationship there. It might be affecting Fitz’s judgement. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Listen I'm not a hockey coach, I'm not an expert on structure or schemes or anything like that. But it's clear that whatever Ruff is trying to do here isn't working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
