Timo and Nico have both played well amidst everything going on. They need to play together as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the kid still makes nice plays on a nightly basis. Just like with Jack early on, you can see the skill is obviously there. I have no doubt both Luke and Jack will achieve great things in their careers. Unfortunately, for his season, everyone stunk respective to their ability and expectations. I do believe with the right coach, we will be watching a better product next year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to reject the very thought of it and hope like hell a different coach can get these guys pulling in the same direction. But there's that nagging doubt ....

Over the past 2-3 weeks, he and Timo have been the best of the Devils’ forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, if pretty much everyone sucked it’s at least partially on the coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to hope the next coach can straighten him out. Same with Marino, who also took a step back this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is deflated no matter what they say to the media. Nothing is right for them at this point. They've squandered many chances to stay in the mix. I just want them to finish it and stay healthy. The next season will be better. Edited March 6 by Devs64 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anything will happen at that position until the off-season. I can’t imagine the Bruins trading any goalies going into the playoffs. Just imagine if they did and the one they keep gets injured. Boston would burn to the ground. Markstrom, I believe will be traded but the cost will be high, so I can’t imagine Fitz making a trade there. Teams going into the playoffs without a solid goal situation will drive up the cost. That’s just my take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t necessarily think everyone has sucked. I’ve generally been happy with Nico, Bratter, Lazar, Holtz, and Nemec, and I thought Hatakka played well during his call-up.

That being said, I won’t be surprised if the new coach makes it a point to let everyone know that star, fourth-liner, whatever, we’re starting from scratch here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t surprise me if the new coach decides to remove everyone’s letters and reassess the team’s leadership hierarchy. I don’t necessarily want this, as I think Nico’s an effective captain, but if the new coach means to instill accountability, one way to do it is make everyone audition for his role.

Of course you are welcome to resume following other prognosticators’ continued faulty assessments as you wish. But Lindy. But Alex.

Individually there are players that had a solid season, but collectively the product on the ice suck for the most part. Just think, how much better of season those players you mention would have had with proper coaching and better roster management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
