This game just got a whole lot more interesting. I already knew it was a probable loss, but now? Total meltdown incoming!

This game just got a whole lot more interesting. I already knew it was a probable loss, but now? Total meltdown incoming!

Or a big win because the players got opened their eyes and start playing up to their potential, but I hope for a loss, pick Seth Jones and move on for next year.

After Yzerman made the decision, I somehow think it was the perfect timing. He can now run the rest of the year with the assistants and look, who is good and if it was all because of Boucher, or if they suck as well.

 

[zeykshade]

Hope to hell we keep losing. Need to get below the Flames and Avs =)

Doubt we have a chance of catching the Hindenberg-like Panthers though.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

I hope they turn off tank mode just so the guys from Syracuse don't forget what it's like before they go back for the playoffs.

 

[Steazy Doo]

So what's the deal with the coaching situation for tonight?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

So what's the deal with the coaching situation for tonight?

Guy's assistants will take over for tonight's game.

 

[Coopers Gum]

So what's the deal with the coaching situation for tonight?

Raymond and Lacroix for tonight. No one knows what will happen beyond tonight unfortunately.

I like how the GDT is getting no love because of today's news as well.

 

[Steazy Doo]

I wonder if the 1-3-1 at the beginning of yesterdays game was the last straw.

 

[dbieon12]

Not sure how LaCroix outlasted Boucher.

Gotta take everything the team does tonight with a grain of salt (good or bad, they lost their coach).

 

[The Macho King]

Don't really know what to expect.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

So if the "toned out one" is out of the room, we should see a different team, no?

Someone's got to run the team until a new head coach is picked. He could be head coach with Raymond until the end of the season, if Yzerman takes his time or doesn't want to remove Cooper before the AHL playoffs

Don't really know what to expect.

I think teams usually get a boost after a coach is fired. Raise your expectations a little higher than it was last night.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

A lot of people are saying that, but I don't understand why he didn't let Boucher just coach until the end of the season then? If there was no intention to replace the coaching until the offseason, why let the HC go?

So we could openly look for a new coach. So Yzerman can evaluate assistants and players.
So Boucher could openly look for a new job.

Also I think Yzerman is sending a message to the players since the trade deadline is 10 days away.

You know, thats a fantastic point I overlooked.

To give Boucher more time to find a new job, or just make an inevitable change. Firing Boucher might give a jolt to this team to wake up and turn it around. It might also not. It's not very Yzerman-like to make impulsive decisions.

All this too

 

[LightningStrikes]

Will they continue to shuffle the lines as Boucher did?

 

[allan5oh]

Jets fan here, hoping for a nice clean game. Just updating the injury situation looks like Enstrom is back in, Hainsey and Stuart are out. We've had our top 4 D healthy for a grand total of 3 minutes this season. Our D lines should be something like:

Enstrom - Byfuglien
Clitsome - Bogosian
Meech - Postma

That third pairing is pretty weak.

 

[Butchered]

Doesn't Postma torch us every time though? I feel like that name stands out to me for some reason.

 

[allan5oh]

He had his first NHL goal against you. He's great offensively, not so great defensively.

 

[jg39]

A win would be most appreciated...

I'm interested to watch our PP in the future now that it's no longer Boucher's.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Tampa Bay Lightning 2 1 2 3 +1

Career against Tampa. Well, it's this year.

 

[Eric]

Desjardins starting?

 

[AllAbout813]

Expecting a very weird game. Id assume they continue to run the same way as when Guy was here though, I dont imagine Raymond and company changing too much over 12 hours..
