Quinn on why ADA was scratched:

I thought something needed to happen. (Meaning he wasn't doing something he was looking for, again.)

This cryptic sh*t needs to end. Just flip him at the deadline if there's no future for him here

The most frustrating thing is that he allows him to get no traction or confidence to his game. I mean the guy can't get a stretch of games without worrying that he will be benched. If post TDL he doesn't play every f***ing game then something is really really wrong.

When ADA plays he plays 19 min/night. He plays 2nd PP. He plays close end of game situations both trailing and leading, often times getting every other shift. This is not a dude getting buried.

This is a dude not doing things the other 6 dmen seem to be doing including wonderboy Pionk. I know it's easier to just blame evil coaching but the simpler explanation is ADA isn't f***ing listening.

I like the job that Quinn has done overall this year and his team competes almost every night. I just don't understand his handling of ADA at all. Our Dmen as a group are pretty much trash. There are others who deserve to be sitting instead of ADA.

He must know something we all don't. I give up trying to guess what it is. Just trade him.
 
Yeah me too, glad we beat the devs, we'll get back to losing soon enough.

That Zucc pass for Z's hatty was a beauty.

What are the other Dmen doing so correctly that ADA needs to be scratched consistently? I don't see it when watching the games. Please enlighten me.

What happened to the other PGT? I feel like most people like it when there's a new thread for it. Why are we getting rid of those threads in favor of just adding it to the GDT? That's what boards or third rate teams do people their GDT and PGTs don't get any posts.

There's been almost 100 comments since the end of the game. That more than a 1/5 of the GDT, which is pretty good for ~2 hours after the game ends.

This is the same circle we go in with ADA, round and round. No, it's not the games. It seems to be something not in-game. Attitude? Practice habits? Body odor? Maybe he's 20 mins late every day. Could be something stupid like that.

It's not really Quinn's responsibility to relieve the fanbases anxiety or impatience. Throwing YOUR hands up and saying trade him (not you specifically, whoever) because you feel left out of the information loop is kinda silly and self-sabotaging. JMO.

It's less about the information lockdown and more about ADA not adjusting to whatever it is Quinn wants. If he hasn't gotten it now, then he's not getting it. He won't fit here

But a lot of fans including myself would like to know why he keeps getting scratched. When he plays he seems to be one of their better Dmen so it's frustrating to fans when he doesn't play. It's not like we are icing a good blue line out there. Stall, Pionk, Smith, McQuaid etc. Thats a whole lotta crap.

If that's the case it'll always be the case. There's no need to ship him out *now*.
 
No enjoyment in beating a rival that is also a bad team. Not like we spoiled anything.

Zib was a treat to watch, but there is nothing to enjoy this season. Shame.

Thats funny, the only reason Broduer is in the hall of fame is because of the team he had in front of him.

Can you imagine being Brodeur and having multiple cups and all the records and first ballot hall of farmer and being a dick like that? Why wouldn’t he just be humble and gracious and stuff? What a total douchebag. He also played half his career in the shootout era as well so what’s the point in bringing it up?

How about before OT was introduced? Until the 1983 season there was no OT so all the goalies who played before then didn’t get to win games in OT which Brodeur did a lot of.

Also stupid to bring up because the goalie has to earn those wins.

Hank has 60 shootout wins, some even without them he has 387 which is 2 behind Hasek for 11th all time. With 3 shootout era goalies also above in Marty, MAF and Luongo. Still Hank earned those wins.

Cangiolosi and Brodeur are knobs about it because Lundqvist is an all time great regardless of shootout wins being an apparent asterisk, the people who get their stats inflated by it are more the mid level guys getting higher up the list, guys like Quick or Miller or Ward end up inflating their win totals with this. A guy like Hank would end up top end of this list regardless. Take shootouts away he’s still going to clear 400 and prob would’ve ended up close to top 5 anyway.

Cangiolosi has a face for radio and has a voice for monster truck rallies. And Brodeur cheated on his wife with her sister. Imagine how much of an asshole you have to be to have everything he accomplished in his career and be talking crap about other player? What a total douche.

Whewwww, my opinion on the Devils play-by-play was not well received, and here I thought I was being fair.
I guess I've been taken to task and been learned real good
