The Peter DeBoer thread

[Unknown Caller]

Would have loved Torts (minus the media antics). Give me Boucher as he's the closest option. We need a guy who stresses defense and intelligent play. DeBoer was the right guy when we had Parise, Kovalchuk, Clarkson, Elias, Sykora, Zajac, etc on the same offense. This team is drastically different now. Time for a philosophical change.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

That's one thing I do blame Lou on. I don't think Matteau was worth not forfeiting the pick. I'm not very high on him either, and don't think he'll be very good. That's for a different discussion though. I can't really blame Lou too much for the roster.

I do think we should have used both amnesty buyouts this year. The other on Volchenkov. He's really clogging up a spot on this roster that can be had by a younger, cheaper, better option. He's a PASSENGER in every sense of the word.

i fault him for plenty of other things, but that move was awful. it was so dumb, so dumb

how can you not give up that pick?

 

[regulahbread]

hell we could probably pick 4 of us to play with Greene and Larsson

My wrister is pretty dope, and I'm not a terrible passer. Not great defensively. I'm a younger Zid. Let's do this.

And I mean it wholeheartedly when I say Deboer has created this culture of playing for a point. 38 OT's since he's been here. We've been to OT more than any other team since the start of 11-12. We haven't lost many OT games, but we haven't won many either. 4-6 in games decided in OT.

2 or 3 of those OT losses came on PP goals against too. This team plays for the shootout, plain and simple. Tonight they were playing for another point, and it burned them before they got to OT. They were playing for a point against Vancouver as well. The TSN crew who did the game on NHL Network picked that out.

Perfect!

I can skate like a mini-Tedenby

 

[Semak]

Only if Stevens goes too. Go ask Lemaire who he thinks should coach the D cause I have no clue who is out there to get them going.

 

[regulahbread]

Perfect!

Where do I sign?

 

[njdss4]

There are a few plain as day changes that need to be made, but the domino effect has to start with Lou firing DeBoer. Going 11-20-10 in your last 41 should always cost you your job. New coach has to bench the old farts until Lou gets rid of them.

I used to be a fan of Stephen Gionta, but the fact that DeBoer keeps playing him over other guys like Loktionov shows DeBoer has no ****ing clue what he's doing.

 

[SeidoN]

wait, you have the mental capacity to write your own name? sorry, benched

 

[glenwo2]

So what, he needs to start getting pucks shot at him to get him the **** out of here?

Sounds like a plan to me...

 

[SeidoN]

Pete still thinks its about seasoned veterans finding ways to win. SMH

Expect a multi-year deal with a full no-trade clause by the end of the week.

Well played.

How the hell did I miss this gem?

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

Is Ted Nolan doing anything these days?

I thought he was blacklisted the last time I checked.

 

[regulahbread]

I have been looking for a stable job. I'm okay with this.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Nobody wants to continue the picture game?

 

[glenwo2]

That is brilliant, BG.


But we're not in the mood for "fun things" at this moment.



YOU SUCK, DEBOER!!

 

[Uli Hiemer]

His favorite word.

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

At this point, I'd be fine with Boucher over any of the other options not named Lemaire who I really don't think wants to coach again but I wouldn't put anything past anybody when it comes to him and Lou.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

Boucher's best friends with Lemaire's son.

But the Lightning blew defensively, even though Boucher was suppose to be a "defensive coach"

Bring both . Boucher and Lemaire

 

[Devils Dominion]

This entire coaching staff needs to get let go of.

This. Including Tererri.

Move Chris and Scotty within the organization to consultant or scouting roles and get Pete and Barr out of town.

Hire Lavs.

But TBL had no Dmen aside from a still too young Hedman.
