Derek Ryan been fire in the A.
Can’t be any worse than what’s been trotted out in the bottom 6 lately. Plus having an actual right shot option on the draws will be a huge plus.

Wasn't sure if you're being serious or not.
But is 3 goals & 5 assists in 13 games, even fire enough to cook marshmellows?

A veteran team chasing a Cup should have a veteran coach.Knoblauch seems like a decent coach but he has no intensity whatsoever. In a way that helps this group, keeps them more even keeled. But sometimes you need to charge them up and I’m not sure he’s so good at that. Maybe he needs more of that from the assistant coaches?

Bring in Q. This team hasn't had a headcoach with championship experience in the McDrai era, have they? Q can provide some of that, at the least.I don't see how you don't move on from Knoblauch at this point. Maybe give the reigns to Coffey. Nothing is working right now and this team has totally collapsed. Also, the Devils won the Cup in 2000 after replacing their head coach...on March 25th. Not saying we're likely to win anything, but something needs to be done now or we're throwing this season away. And this core always gets a boost with a coaching change.
This is the thing.But our team has the skill to score. They are underperforming. The problem in net is that our goalies can play well, but they just aren't that talented.
In the playoffs, the team will tighten up and the talent will shine through. Last year, guys like Brown and Janmark lifted their games big time. Guys like Kane have done it in the past. Guys like Arvidsson will do so this year.

I think we have a better chance with him than Knob, for sure. Crazy how underrated Crawford is, I cringe when people compare Stu to him.Many here won't like it, but Q would coach this roster to a championship (or two). IMO this team is similar to the latter Hawks Cup teams (with worse goaltending, unfortunately, but better top two players to make up for it).

No comparison. We would already have a couple of Cups with Crawford’s numbers

If they are playing that way, imo its not the worst idea. Our team doesn't really care where it lands. I don't even think Draisaitl cares that he's getting a bit shafted in Hart voting. The team wants the cupThis is the thing.
I’m watching some other games today and there is no reason our forwards can’t impose their will on a game.
Lots of them refuse to bear down and go to some tough areas. It feels like they’re playing not to get hurt. That may not be the case but it looks that way to me.
The team destroyed itself year after year for this past decade blowing assets on declining, overpaid veteran players and letting promising young players go, and your idea is to double down and replace our innovative young coach who just coached an incredibly flawed roster to Game 7 of the Finals with some washed up, set in his ways veteran coach????????????????????A veteran team chasing a Cup should have a veteran coach.
Pretty much this. We could have a roster with guys like Holloway, McLeod, Broberg, and Kesselring but we kept denying them opportunities for inferior players because of muh veterancy and experience, and now we have no cheap young impact players to replace the overpaid declining veterans.Good for Ryan, but Savoie, Phillip…..even Rodrigue would be good call up options if the organization didn’t hate young players
At some point you guys need to accept that we have a garbage roster full of aging, ineffective, overcosted players that contenders are usually trying to get rid of, while we do the opposite and sign them for good money or waste prospects/draft picks for them. The Henrique trade and signing being the prime example. And that's before we get into the fact that neither of our goalies are even league average. You could bring back Stan Bowman's dad and Scotty wouldn't be able to coach this team to a Cup. Though I suppose he would've at least had the sense to keep Holloway/Broberg and not take in possession killers like Henrique and Skinner.I don't see how you don't move on from Knoblauch at this point.

They should have replaced Woodcroft with a veteran coach. I’m not talking about a dinosaur like Ruff but a younger coach with a good track record. Like how STL instantly snagged Montgomery the second Boston let him go. Did the team get to game 7 last year because of Knob or despite him and if it’s despite him would a more veteran coach with more respect from the officials have gotten us the Cup last year.The team destroyed itself year after year for this past decade blowing assets on declining, overpaid veteran players and letting promising young players go, and your idea is to double down and replace our innovative young coach who just coached an incredibly flawed roster to Game 7 of the Finals with some washed up, set in his ways veteran coach????????????????????

It’s this line of thinking that landed us the GMs we have had in the McDrai era. He led the Panthers nowhere. Maurice got them a Cup.Bring in Q. This team hasn't had a headcoach with championship experience in the McDrai era, have they? Q can provide some of that, at the least.
