GDT: ECQF Game 3: Your New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers, 8 PM, ABC/ESPN+

[JK3]

LMAO this freaking guy.

 

[glenwo2]

I’d rather give up a PP goal being aggressive up top than staying in a box and beating their own meat.

I really hate that you have an avy like that and then you state this.

lol

Look at you, insider!

 

[Devilsfan992]

LMAO this freaking guy.

Not a chance. He knows who's starting.

I swear if the devils look like an incoherent minor league team in this game, I want Lindy fired before game 4.

A question for the hockey historians: Has there ever been a firing of a coach in the NHL (or in one of the major european hockey leagues Finland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Czech) during the playoffs?

A question for the hockey historians: Has there ever been a firing of a coach in the NHL (or in one of the major european hockey leagues Finland, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Czech) during the playoffs?

From historian ChatGPT:

Yes, there have been instances where coaches have been fired during the playoffs in the NHL and other major European hockey leagues.

In the NHL, one notable example is the firing of Michel Therrien by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009. The Penguins were in the midst of a playoff race and had a 27-25-5 record when Therrien was relieved of his duties. He was replaced by Dan Bylsma, who led the team to a Stanley Cup championship that season.

In the Finnish Liiga, former NHL player and coach Doug Shedden was fired by Jokerit Helsinki during the 2019 playoffs. Shedden had been with the team for three seasons and led them to a league championship in 2019, but was dismissed after they were eliminated in the playoffs.

In the Swedish Hockey League, Rögle BK fired their head coach, Anders Eldebrink, during the 2017-2018 playoffs. Rögle BK was in the middle of a first-round playoff series when Eldebrink was let go, and they ultimately lost the series.

In the Swiss National League, the HC Lugano fired their head coach, Greg Ireland, during the 2021 playoffs. Lugano was trailing 3-0 in their playoff series when Ireland was relieved of his duties.

There have been other instances of coaches being fired during the playoffs in European hockey leagues as well, but these are some of the more notable examples.

one benefit to being down 2-0 is i have zero anxiety, unlike the first two games. i feel like i can just enjoy it, and turn it off early if we get blown out. either way, hell of a season.

Bit of an offtopic here but someone was drunk writing this article. Jokerit werent even in Liiga by then and Doug Shedden last coached them in 2008 and was never fired by them.

I'm a bit different. Game 1 and 2 , while I was stressed, I felt there was still hope at the end of the day. My stress levels are extremely high for this game, knowing a loss is basically the end of the season.

It's ChatGPT. It's artificial intelligence, which tends to have some inaccuracies. Let me let them know, so they can improve their AI Engine .

Love the Schmid start. The team better not leave him out to dry.

 

[Bleedred]

LMAO this freaking guy.

He’s just pulling a Kevin Dineen, which I was talking about yesterday.

He knows who he’s starting, but he wants everyone to think he has to listen to his belly.

 

[billingtons ghost]

LGD!!!

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Let's go Devils, 1-2 and this is a whole new series.

Not a chance. He knows who's starting.

TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT GERARD

 

[njdevils1982]

Best of luck. I hope it’s fun and you connect.

remember that song connection by elastica....

 

[glenwo2]

Gonna post this one more time :


Please win,

And don't suck.

 

[Guttersniped]

Welp.

Still hope is a thing.

Even though Luke probably isn’t showing up out of nowhere.

But we have each other.

So LFGD, turnabout is fair play.

Time to turn The World’s Greatest Basketball Arena and all their corporate ticket account holders into a toilet bowl of sadness.

Gird your loins and get ready to rumble.

Therrien was fired after 57 regular season games, not during the playoffs. So I'd guess Lindy would be the first ever

 

[Whaddagoal]

A win tonight will make things be more Palat-able here.

Yup. Opening the floodgates. 18 goal tonight.

 

[RNCDevil]

I like Timo's game for the most part:

As advertised:
- shooter, physical, good all around tools skater and handler

Wish he was better at:
- passing
- a bit better defensively and more responsible with some of his decisions; havne't loved some of his penalties

I think he will be fine and I really hope they find a way to keep him.

I just hope everyone Wood chill a bit.

 

[Blender]

Pretty good sign Schmid is starting. First good coaching decision of the series by Ruff.

 

[Whaddagoal]

I just hope everyone Wood chill a bit.

Lord have Mercer....

Today is Lazar-us saturday....?
