I'm not saying that the main and only reason they've won their 2 games is caused he's out of the lineup and that the main and only reaons they were down 2 games in their best of 7 series is directly linked with "slashmaggee" Matteau.

Yeah, and they coasted through the first two rounds of the playoffs with Matteau, let's take it easy with this whole cause and effect nonsense re: winning two tight games at home after losing two tight games on the road.
The rest of the series should be interesting with so many player suspended. Definitely will be chippy.
No, no. It will always be Marty's fault.

If we hear from Matteau anytime before he either retires or leaves the Devils, he'll just be reading the script Lou wrote for him, anyway.

Stephane Matteau, an assistant coach with Blainville, said Stefan made "a mistake", but way he was treated by team was "unfair."

Stephane felt Stefan was "set as an example because he played for the Devils for two months " I'll have more on blog shortly.
will be an interesting read.

I don't disagree with any of it. He made a mistake and the team also wanted to put him out to pasture.
With that comment, I guess it's fair to say that Stéphane won't be coaching in Blainville next year

or he takes over for the coach that gets canned.
Both parties ****ed up.
Stefan didn't keep his cool and put his team in a rough spot and Joel Bouchard is a total ****** bag who thinks he's as important as Maurice "the Rocket" Richard when it comes to hockey in Montreal.
Not with Joel Bouchard running things.
The guy has his nose in every single aspect of that organisation. He's the owner, Gm, was a coach when he got the team to Blainville, equipement guy, janitor (custodian
), cheerleader, etc...As long as he's in charge, I don't think I'll attend another game of theirs... he's just a royal ******.
Y'know, I can see where they were coming from. But I really don't care.
As long as Stefan wasn't way out of line, this is all a big non-issue. If anything I like that Matteau is playing with an edge.

I agree 200%
Joel Bouchard just wants to have all the attention and doesn't seem to really care about the kids playing for him.
Who the **** orders a press conference to ridiculise a teenager for being kicked off the team... At the junior level?
Sounds like people were jealous of Matteau being able to play in the NHL so quickly and treated him like **** because of it, looking for any reason to dump on him.
Funny thing is, he only got his time in the NHL because the Devils were so thin at forward. It wasn't because he was ready.
Well then.. good thing this kid was dragged through the mud for something that doesn't even seem like it was his doing..
Well he did pull a "Ryan White" and wacked some guy in the leg with a 2 hand chop but the organisation tried to look like they were in the pro's and it drastically backfired on Bouchard.

Was it a dumb retailtory penalty, sure? But was it enough to get benched for an entire period, no.
Well that does sound pretty bad. Eff that team.
Kid was probably going to play in Albany next year anyway right?

I'd imagine that would've been best for his development.
He is physically dominant in the Q, the AHL he'd have to work on the pro-style of the game. He's a big body that will likely play a game like Zubrus, and it was evident this year that he still has the "little things" to learn that he will learn in the AHL. He won't be able to dominate physically in the AHL, improving his game.
The benching, to me, was justified... maybe harsh but justified. He was told time and time again not to take dumb penalties and that's exactly what he did... even if he got a "love tap" in the junk.
You can't give anyone a free pass, let it be a star player or a 4th liner at the junior level.
The overblown effect after the game was the only thing I didn't like from the team.
