MantaRay Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Carbo? No. He got himself fired in Montreal because he lost control, there is no way he comes here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 This doesn't shock me at all. I said at the last game that Lemaire would "retire" or move to "scouting". Lou wasn't going to fire the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to lose control in a city where the fans will personally come to your house and sh!t on your children if you do something wrong.

DevilNurn Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Today we should be talking about our game 6 win last night and getting pumped up for game 7 tomorrow night. instead we are talking about who will coach us next season. Or better yet, resting up for the second round. This is absolutely a move in the right direction. Still need a new coach. And honestly, I wouldn't mind if we had somebody move up in the managerial ranks. Not as a new GM, but as an associate GM who could begin to learn Lou's system. Because if this happens enough times you need to step down and let the reins move on. And I'd rather be prepared for that than ignorant of it.

Lou may let his son Chris take over for him when Lou steps down... Chris already in the org. isnt he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 well, that's half the battle. now, on to the players.... Lou may let his son Chris take over for him when Lou steps down...

nyrsuck26 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Such jubilation when I read this headline. Now maybe we can get a coach who will actually have consistent line combinations. I predict Johnny Mac will get the job. Edited April 26, 2010 by nyrsuck26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manbearpig Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Lemaire actually retired about two weeks ago. As for Johnny Mac, didn't he just coach our AHL affiliate into the playoffs for the first time in like a decade or something? You beat me to it... first time getting a basement AHL team into the playoffs in a decade, with a good number of his star players (and I use star players loosely, but they are that equivalent in the AHL) missing because they were up with the big club. Plus, these are the same players that are the future of the franchise, so he must be onto something. Johnny Mac has just the right amount of fire too... reserved and balanced in the times he needs to be, and ready to rip someone's head off when it needs to get done (just ask torts...)

DevilNurn Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Lou may let his son Chris take over for him when Lou steps down... Chris already in the org. isnt he? Right he's the Lowell GM. But I honestly don't know that he's the man for the job. Maybe, but I just don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prucenterrules Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks for all the good times and the 95 Cup Lemaire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils1985 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Solid no to ChrisLam taking over for Lou based on what I’ve seen in Trenton. Make that “NO!!!!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 wouldnt be surprised to see Tremblay get a crack if not Johnny Mac, but who knows with Lou these days. He'll probably bring back Ftorek or Larry now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and it's not much of a job. the team's success this year was based mostly on prospects and players that were signed by Lou. although I guess he did sign Taromina, which means a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

newarkdev01 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I just can't help but wonder if J Mac is the choice, how many times has he been passed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdevil26 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Trembley is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Wouldn't be surprised if it was another French Canadian. There are quite a few French Canadians working for the team and the players in this organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 My wish was that he'd stay for one more go round, but all the best to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
