Sent Daws down and call up Poulter. Might as well try goalie number 4.
Although Schmid surely has to get the next start.

Poulter will be end up being ruined by Rogalski also.Sent Daws down and call up Poulter. Might as well try goalie number 4.

That’s called first guessing it, and plenty of us were right there with you tooI’m going to go ahead and second guess that decision because I knew it was a bad idea before the game Coach.
Daws is gonna be one of those people like Wedgewood who finds it in another organization assuming they develop him properly, and the same people will still be complaining ‘if we only had an average goalie’Daws sv% and gaa has dropped below Vitek's. That's a bit concerning but the team really has had many dreadful games infront of him. Tonight , the Rags game , the Caps game etc. I still think he will be a NHLer though for sure. He still needs time to develop. Playing behind a legit starter and getting a 25 game workload would more ideal. I don't think the kid is cooked out from all the starts. It's really just a combo of him adapting and the Devils defensive structure lacking big time
As far as Lindy goes , I'm shocked this team hasn't taken a too many men on the ice penalty in what seems forever. Jack having to call an extra player out on the ice is really some sad stuff. I feel like the Devils from 2014-2016 played better hockey than this group with a much worse roster.
I never understood why people say this about coaches. Do people want them to throw tantrums ? I’m not picking on you but I find this to be one of the dumbest fan comments across all sports . Apologies in advance.I can't stand this guy but at least he would show some emotion behind the bench
I think it’s good for Dawes to get NHL work but split his games already. Trade taffoki. Get 82 back in the lineup. And send the signal to the rest of these guys that are all being paid that they are playing out the season for the future. I don’t care what message it sends to the rest of team they out themselves here and are all being paid. Too bad.Poulter will be end up being ruined by Rogalski also.

Some say streaky. Some say completely disappearing while the team spirals out of a playoff spot.Haula had 2 goals in his first 42 games last season, I think it’s been established that Haula is streaky.

It's like musical chairs. Yesterday, it was Jack's line struggling, the game before, Hischier's line. They just cannot seem to play a consistent stable game where at least two lines are winning their matchups. Really frustrating.Pinning our slide on Haula is ... an interesting take. I'm assuming you're just including him in the list, which is fair, because the entire team is not good enough right now (aside from Hischier, although the one off game in this recent run was horrific)
Fans want emotion, but it’s not always what a team needs when things aren’t going well. It’s one of the last cards a coach can play. If they get upset and there’s no reaction, what then?He doesn't need to throw tantrums but every time they cut to the bench he looks like he's staring off into space. Of course you can't yell at these guys or the refs every single time but once in awhile showing some sort of emotion isn't a bad thing.
Third time in his career? Or just the third time here?3rd time in Ruff's career that he is going to follow at ~110 point season to ~90 point season. Just inexplicable. Clearly his system does not translate year over year results. It's pretty obvious that the league has figured out how to play against his "system".

Usually, you’ll hear teams talk about how they appreciate coaches who take a patient, supportive approach. Which isn’t to say that the coach doesn’t set high expectations or hold people accountable. But yelling and screaming aren’t the only ways to accomplish that.

There's about 15 problems with this team right now...
I actually really think Ruff gets fired today.... and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other problems take care of themselves with him gone.
Imagine if the Penguins fire Sullivan today too?
Please, please, please!
I'm curious to know what you pictured as "Spring ball" in North America?Fitz will be too busy organising the team Spring ball with Tommy Albelin and Bruce Driver.
I hear they are getting ice cream cake!
90 point season? I'm starting to doubt that. Watch jack go back to the IR again. The good news is. We can't lose to the Caps and Ducks anymore. No more embarrassing half blue Prudential center with us done with the Rags at home. Those are about the only positives. Feels just as suckie as it did two years ago. Thankfully they didn't get embarrassed in the Met Life Stadium game. Would have been fitting though.3rd time in Ruff's career that he is going to follow at ~110 point season to ~90 point season.

If I could get paid for this stuff, I'd probably still be doing it haha.Fire them, hire @Guttersniped
Add @StevenToddIves and @Guadana to our scouting staff while we are at it.
