I'm sure the boys will get a good laugh while they're playing their 20th round of 18 by that time after taking a week in the caribbean.

Nicomo Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The power play continues to cost them games. Green shouldn’t be back for that reason alone. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 1-2 under Green but you can tell they’re back to trying again. They didn’t play that badly today, but Carolina’s just better right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s to the point where opponents know what the Devils are going to do before they themselves know. No way Green comes back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t play that badly today, but Carolina’s just better right now. No doubt the Canes are the much better team. Don't you think they played a completely fundamentally flawed game by continually trying to carry the puck into the zone. How hard is it for any coach to say hey today we're not going to be able to do that? They played right into the Canes strength. I do think the Devs played a good second period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team obviously needs better coaching. That wasn’t Lindy and we know it’s not Interim Guy either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s set himself up to land a goalie and be able to pay him, and he’ll get a new coach.

If Jack didn't miss on the breakaway, if Daws hugged the post, if they were more crisp on 4 on 3....they could’ve, would've, possibly, maybe... In reality, no one but Nico, Bratt, and Jack can skate the puck into the zone. They are very reluctant to shoot although they constantly prove to themselves it works. They need more beef dressed in the Devils jerseys. They need someone who can both play and drop gloves without getting embarrassed.

He hired his buddies and refused to fire them. He fvcked up with Bratt and had to eat crow and ended up costing him $2 mil a year x8. He's fvcked up Holtz. They attempted to do the same thing with Nemec. The goalie situation. I would argue that Hamilton and Palat were bad signings. The only move I like is the Meier trade.

Were you saying all of this last season? Doubtful. Doesn’t matter, if Fitz nails the coaching hire and brings in a goalie, you’ll be right back in his corner. He can’t do these things right this second, so I get that some fans are just going to keep pissing all over him until he can. It is what it is.

We could have Kahkonen for free at the beginning of last year instead he gave assets for VV. Fitz hasn't been good overall. He threw bags at Hamilton and Palat that's why they came here. Both got way too much money and too many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do need seasoning but they need grit on every line and on D. They are too soft and they don't grind at all. They got grilled by Carolina last year because they refused to get the puck deep and grind it out. They just kept trying to skate through them. Just like today.

I agree that the Devils need to get tougher, but I also believe that some of issues you’re citing are at least partly attributable to coaching. It’s on Green to recognize that his team’s default style of play won’t work against Carolina and make an adjustment. Except for the final two minutes, during which Timo got one of his dirty goals at the net, we didn’t see any adjustments to the Devils’ attack.

capo Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I believe this team is very broken and they're too reliant on Jack Hughes. Jack is an uber talented player with the puck but he lacks pretty much everywhere else, including attitude. He's not really replaceable but it's time for him to take the next step. Hopefully, next year he can stay on the ice and do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call them "broken" by any stretch of the imagination but even when they were doing well towards the beginning of the season, I said they need to start figuring something out other than feed Jack the puck and hope for a highlight reel, I told you guys even my girlfriend said "they can't keep this up with just Jack" Edited March 9 by RunninWithTheDevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
