Triumph Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 It looks bad for Lemaire himself is my point. I honestly thought he would be better dealing with younger players after his time in Minnesota when he had to develop talent more but left to his own devices here he's gone back to the same favor vets at all costs mentality. It's not just Bergfors, why couldn't Fraser get a few more minutes when the top four on defense were being run into the ground? He finally gets twenty-four minutes against the Flyers when we had no other choice and was fine. bergfors was not good at even strength - i hardly see where lemaire went wrong in his dealings with him. and i would trade him for a kovalchuk sort of player all day.

pattyelias Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) it shouldn't; be excited. new jersey has kovalchuk from now until the end of the season, it's a year to remember no matter what happens. It would be a year to remember if they rent kovalchuk, collapse down the stretch, lose in the first round and then fail to sign either kovalchuk or martin. worst case scenario yes, but that would be devastating. tri, please give me reasons to be hopeful even if that happens.

He said it would be a year to remember, he didn't neccesarily mean that would be a good thing! Although it's hard to believe the Devils can somehow come up with a worse playoff loss than they've had each of the last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would make it worse is if they lost Kovalchuk to a team like the L.A. Kings and were stuck with Rolston scoring <20 goals a season for the next 4 years. That would be the nail in the coffin.
