Seriously, I’m more concerned with the player and our lackluster D coverage in front of him.literally nobody who is calling for his firing can answer this question, which makes it extra hilarious.
I find it funny too. These are professionals with plenty of coaching behind them. One guy giving them some drills and positioning advice aren't changing their reaction times, rebound control, etc. It would be like Tiger Woods blaming his caddy for not making the cut. Can he be not helping them? Sure, but he isn't actively hurting them by making them play a system in net. Positioning, vision, reactions - you either have them or you don't and a coach may impact that at most psychologically but practically not enough to counter any luck factor. I'd still can him just to get a fresh vibe in the staff but I'm not hanging losses on the goalie coach unless he's making them change equipment or catch with the opposite hand.literally nobody who is calling for his firing can answer this question, which makes it extra hilarious.

Someone's gotta take the fall!
Who the f*** scheduled Islanders-Devils to be the same night as the Yankees in the World Series?
By that standard we can never call for anyone’s firing…we don’t know what negotiations Fitz has with other GM’s and agents. We don’t know what Lindy tells these guys in the locker room.literally nobody who is calling for his firing can answer this question, which makes it extra hilarious.
I mean at some point you have to wonder why he's survived when everyone else on the coaching staff has been replaced. It seems fishy to say the least.literally nobody who is calling for his firing can answer this question, which makes it extra hilarious.
i don't really disagree with much of that. but just to reiterate- nobody can answer the question lol. seeing the usual smoothbrain posting pictures he took from a GDT with 0 context 10 games into the season implicating rogalski is to blame- without understanding what the hell he even does- is the cherry on top. i just find it funny.I mean we’ve only had three constants here when a dozen plus different goalies have all gone through the meat grinder - Rogalski, Fitz and Marty. You aren’t firing the third and the second is going to get axed anyway if this team disappoints again. Considering his position is even worse than the other assistants who’ve come and gone it’s more glaring he survives three or four different staffs with the goalies still sucking. At some point someone’s gotta be held accountable for the goalies sucking and I’d rather off the position coach before Fitz - though they can both be gone if this team goes splat again.
Either way someone has to get blamed at the end of the day, either the guy picking the goalies or the one coaching them.
Blame probably isn’t the right word, but if every guy shows up here and has one of the worst years of his career, then obviously he isn’t helping. That being the case, he’s not doing his job and should be kicked to the curb.i don't really disagree with much of that. but just to reiterate- nobody can answer the question lol. seeing the usual smoothbrain posting pictures he took from a GDT with 0 context 10 games into the season implicating rogalski is to blame- without understanding what the hell he even does- is the cherry on top. i just find it funny.
I might try to start a "Let's Go Mets" chant during the game just to prove only Mets fans are attending this one. If I was a Yankees fan, there's no way I'd be going to a hockey game tonight.
'23 playoffs against Carolina ptsdThe Isles are having real problems scoring so far. Hopefully the NJ goaltending will not be the cure for what ails them.
I have a theory on this, but it's probably wrong and stupid so I won't say it.

What I find doubly funny is that people literally thought an assistant was running the team two years ago, but suddenly this guy who's on the staff isn't important enough to care about.

Neither really makes sense.
The more likely situation is Fitz and his team are really bad at scouting and evaluating goalies.
Didn't take long before my excitement levels for this team plummeted once again. Usually they last at least to mid November. Expecting a big embarrasing loss cause apparently that's what this team and fanbase deserves. Hopefully someone bumps all those pre season threads started by non-devils fans, so I can read what a sad sack of shit I am for calling them to win 10+ stanley cups in a row.
Misyul back to Utica. So at least Luke is presumably in since we sent the lefty back down.
Wonder if Dillon is banged up from the hit and fight.
I get them doing some load management here with a back-to-back and then another game on Sunday. No sense in running everyone into the ground in October with this bullshit schedule.

what is he doing that’s having a negative effect? we’re not talking about teenage goalies here, markstrom is about to be 35 years old.I'm just astonished people think he doesn't have any impact at all.
