Having 3 different coaches with a lot of the same roster won’t change anything. Maybe getting some better leaders will help this group. Another coach would have the same result with this group. Time to make a hockey trade


Mika about to cry again in the postgame. Great leadership 🤮
No, a real coach that provides some semblance of structure would help this team enormously. Trotz would turn this team around quickly. There would be no 3rd period collapses and there would be accountability. It might be boring hockey but that would result in wins. I'm ok with that. I'm done with Gallant.
 
I'm sure the first Devils game has been the date on the calendar everyone has been looking at since that team's start crossed the "oh shit they're actually doing it" threshold. Probably for a month. So this is about as bad as we can get heading into that important game - if they get blown out of the building I wonder if it's taxi time
 
This season is done, too many good teams, we aren't one of them. They need to figure out what to do next year. There is no momentum year to year. Development is what matters. Team has none of it.
Fire Gallant if you want to get back into the playoff race .

Or

Fire Gallant if you want to focus on development. Because neither are happening under his watch

He’s terrible. I honestly hate the way he plays Turnover after turnover. Like I said makes 15 bad passes and one finally gets thru and he’s a magician? Give me a break. Gets all his cookies on the pp next to a Norris winner a 50 goal net front guy and Mika ripping shots.

I would love to be rid of him. I mean that
If he's gonna turn over pucks that lead to dangerous chances against us then he's got to score MANY goals to make up for it and he doesn't.

Gorton is the architect of this team's foundation. He made some great moves but also made some awful moves. I don't get the fawning over him and the yearning for his leadership. I also don't think Drury has done anything drastically different than what you would have seen from Gorton. I get being down on Drury, but I don't get being down on Drury but thinking Gorton was great shakes.

Also, hating Gallant right now is also understandable, but he was the guy 95% of this board wanted.

Drury isnt really the problem. I mean look at his drafts. The guy is literally drafting the players that should be culture changers if they make the team

The last time we had any kind of development was under Torts.

Callahan, Dubinsky, and Hagelin never really had the talent but he got the absolute most out of them.

He's probably not a Cup coach because when the team is good, all he's gonna do is scream at a good team, but we skipped ahead to the Cup coach when we weren't a finished product.

Guys on this team need to learn and nothing is being taught.

We’re already Boring.

I’d rather be boring and winning.
 
Let's assume 2 things are NOT gonna happen. Because they aren't.

GG won't get fired.

Nothing happens with Meeka, Kreids, Bread, Trouba, Trochek etc.

Now what armchair gms?

Gonna bench Blais, Hajek? Big woop.

Gonna trade Laf? KK?

Release Halak? Yawn.

Buy out Goody?

Line changes gonna produce a 180° turnaround?

Problem is huge because the problem is everywhere.

I can’t believe people say this version of the team (includes last years) ever played harder then the old 2011-2015 teams.

The old team bled blue. You can’t say that for these losers. I don’t think you ever can. We would kill for the callys, the dubs, the zucs, and Hank.

Hank was not just the best player on the team, and one of the best goalies of all time. Above all else, it was the tone he set. It was the complete level. Something that is sorely missing. It’s no secret teams like Boston with Bergeron, or like I said with Hank play to such a high standard. Cause there is a high standard and it’s taken seriously.

It looks like it’s a year to take a step back to take two steps forward.

Make some trades, get a competent X’s and O’s Coach to implement structure. And anyone who doesn’t play hard and do what they’re supposed to do get rid if. Enough of the country club, and letting the inmates run the asylum.

Monday night is going to be an absolute blood bath with the way the two teams are playing right now.
