Boqvist better be back in

 

[FinnishDevil]

Lord have Mercer....

Today is Lazar-us saturday....?

You might think this is funny but Haula at me after we win tonight, pal.

 

[Aurinko]

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

It's good idea the more i think about it. One more loss and you throw in Luke also to see all the cards.

There is nothing i hate more than going 0-4 without ever changing the goalie.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Hopefully the straw comes through again

 

[TF1970]

lets see if they can avoid getting embarrassed yet again tonight. i will laugh if schmid starts and they win, or even if they lose and we plays really well.

 

[Japam]

If Luke Hughes is not in then I'm not watching.

Also props to Gulitti for the nice Schmid pun. Miss him.

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.

Therrien was fired in the regular season

MY PREDICTION:

DEVILS 7-4 Rag$

the she-stork gets chased... we all call igor she stork now

ChatGPT sucks for hockey, lmao! Seems like their algorithm confused 'playoff race' with 'playoff'. They got a ways to go!

The She-stork nickname is cringe but might be so bad it's good.

ChatGPT largely sucks for accuracy in general, but it writes very professionally and with authority.

Boqvist...Wood...Lazar...not moving the needle.

Bratt, Hughes, Nico, Timo, Mercer, Tatar...who is going to be the Devil's Kane, Kreider, Tarasenko? The main guys have to be the main guys.

I think they will.

I think they will.

The fact is our top players need to start producing for us to have a chance.

 

[Billdo]

Obviously no one’s gonna complain about a win, but i just want some proof that the regular season wasn’t a fluke. I know it wasn’t a fluke, but you wouldn’t know that from the first two games.

You dont fluke into the most wins...

 

[britdevil]

 

[glenwo2]

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

Yup. Opening the floodgates. 18 goal tonight.

I just hope everyone Wood chill a bit.

Lord have Mercer....

Devils need to stop playing like a spoiled bratt tonight.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Devils need to play their game tonight and stop chasing the play.

Also hope that the bone headed penalty takers get benched.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Hopefully someone tells Lindy to wear some red tonight, he missed the memo last game and wore blue.

 

[Billdo]

Devils need to stop playing like a spoiled bratt tonight.

We certainly don't need anyone Schmid-ing their pants out there.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

You dont fluke into the most wins...

there are teams’ records that outperform their actual play every year. But also i said it wasn’t a fluke, so…

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

We’re winning tonight
