Confirmed with Link: Coach Pete DeBoer Is Fired

[Traitor Zach]

I'd bet Barr or Foligno take over as interim HC. They won't pull Kowalsky up from Albany. Not Lou's MO.

Torotrella baby come on!!!!

I would like you to take that idea, write it down on a piece of paper, and throw the paper into a fire.

As far as you go... live a long and prosperous live. May your children be famous and your tomatoes always be ripe.

Stevens never took that job with the league, right?

 

[EnglishDevil]

Edmonton?

Pete signs in Edmonton, the next day Confirmed Trade [NJ/EDM]: Taylor Hall + 2015 1st for Stephen Gionta + Peter Harrold + Marek Zidlicky.

A man can dream

 

[MichaelJ]

WHAT?!?!?

This is going to screw up our draft position lol.

I know!!!

Add Zubrus and Pete will live for ever happy.

 

[Baggy Spandex]

Gimme someone that will play the kids consistently.

 

[Traitor Zach]

Edmonton?

Toronto. Randy Carlyle is on thin ice up there.

Plus Toronto has guys that fit Deboer's system and they want to get a more puck possession style implemented up there with their talent. Plus, Clarkson and Kadri flourished under Deboer.

 

[njdevil26]

haha...come on think of the entertainment

I just can't stand his "act."

Part of the job of being an NHL player or coach is to talk to the media.... and at least tolerate them. He humiliates them and degrades them. It's funny when his team is winning... but after a loss it's like "how dare you ask me any questions." He comes off as a little child.

 

[JimEIV]

I suppose this will make Jagr, Zubrus, Clowe and Ryder fast skaters and make Elias 3 years younger and give experience to our defense and make Cammalleri healthy for the rest of the season?

Seems like a plan?

 

[NJDevs26]

I don't want to celebrate a guy losing his job...but he was way past his expiration date.

 

[OmNomNom]

The Goodbye Stephen Gionta Countdown begins!!!!!!

Hooray!

idc what anyone says, gio is actually a pretty damn good 4th line. pdb might've had quite a few things wrong, but our 4th line was not an issue (time was though)

 

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

New Coach my guess will Be Tommy A.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I'd be fine with Kowalsky the rest of THIS season

 

[captainscott]

I'm going to miss Harrold and Gionta........

lol gionta is one of the few guys that did his job on this team...

 

[Marv4Life]

And tbh while he sucked he's not the one mainly responsible for this team's failures since early 2013. Let's be real.

i would gladly take barr. the man can run BOTH PK and PP

New Coach my guess will Be Tommy A.

the sappy side of me says no more ex-devil players. it is destined to never end well (unless they're reallllly good)

Toronto is like ten games over .500 lol, ironically maybe their doing well made it easier for Lou to can Pete cause we know Shanny wanted him in the offseason.

 

[njdevil26]

I am happy about this news... but I need more. This season is practically lost. Lou needs to get all of the draft picks he possibly can for Ryder, Jagr, Zidlicky, Harrold, and anyone else on a one year deal.

 

[JimEIV]

He is not an NHL coach. He is a development/ mentor type.

Yeah but their possesion numbers still suck big time and can run to another collaps.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I don't want to celebrate a guy losing his job...but he was way past his expiration date.

He'll land a job sooner rather than later. But he simply didn't fit our team anymore, and with the up and coming rebuild he's not the man for the job here. Given the right pieces he can be successful, like we saw. We don't have those pieces anymore and his methods aren't effective with our current players.

 

[Traitor Zach]

I think this pretty much guarantees Jagr will probably get traded and almost certainly won't be here.

Good, let Pete go to Toronto. Takes them out of the market for Babcock.

exactly why my point stands.
