GDT: Islanders @ Devils - Season Finale - 7:00 PM - MSG

[Guadana]

Bahl shouldnt be top-6 defenseman next season.

There are a lot of work. Its good we have top-10 pick. This team needs more long term pieces.

 

[billingtons ghost]

I honestly think we were considerably worse under Green. I think every stat would back that up.

The win/loss and points percentage was also considerably down.

Dude - those last losses that sealed Ruff's fate were about the worst hockey I've ever seen. We maybe blipped up and then down - but it was chaos there for a few weeks.

 

[Killing Joke]

Don't know if you should trade the captain. But everyone else mentioned can go.

The team has sucked under his leadership aside from the fluke last year. He can go if it shakes up the room and sends a message.

 

[Bleedred]

I don't know what a goalie coach could tell you that would have helped him tonight. His demeanor is miles away from the 'F*** the world, I'm winning' attitude he came in with.

Ugly.

I’m not blaming him for tonight. I’m blaming him for his entire tenure here. Everyone got worse under him.

Some of them were AHL goalies and not expected to play well, but he’s not made anybody better here.

The last goalie coach was doing a fine job, but he was brought in to try and revive Cory. Once Cory was bought out and shown the door, they also showed Melanson the door with him.

The suffering is over....this season.

Hoping there is less of that next season.

Green is worse than Ruff. That is not debatable.

 

[Camille the Eel]

Maybe Dano is down? I’ve never had the feeling he didn’t like Bill…

Yes or maybe he wasn’t listening to Bill. Was lost in his own thoughts so just didn’t respond.

The Tampa and LA games were definitely pretty bad. They looked like they quit on him for sure.

I don’t think they ever quit on Green (maybe he never even had them to begin with) but the way they played under Green was too much like the way Vancouver played under him. And they never won enough with him.

 

[NJDevs26]

They didn't? I remember at least one coming on here and doing it right after Lindy got fired.

He's probably the second most hated man in Vancouver behind only Mark Messier.

If one time poster Trottier was here, he would argue nobody hated Messier in Vancouver and that Green may actually be the most hated man in Vancouver.

The dude actually said Green only got his job and rep because JAKE ALLEN led him to an AHL title, ironically

 

[Camille the Eel]

It is Dano we are talking here, good chance he was on mute and hadn’t a clue

Yeah I thought of that or that possibly he didn’t hear Bill and wasn’t paying attention just then.

 

[Bleedred]

Wait, Jake Allen played under Green in the AHL?

I think that was the WHL?

 

[MadDevil]

This is like arguing which turd smells worse lol

 

[guitarguyvic]

There’s no point in shitting on green. He didn’t hire or promote himself.

Fitz’s hiring decisions with the coaching stuff are a f***ing embarrassment.

 

[Camille the Eel]

I can’t speak for Dano but at the start of this year he was extremely complimentary of Bill and how good he thought the two of them were together.

That could have changed over the course of this season but I’m guessing the pause was for a different reason then trying to make Bill look stupid.

Yes it occurs to me too. Because at the very end post game he said the right things.

 

[JK3]

What genius decided to have fan appreciation night against a close rival? At least schedule it against a team in the other conference FFS.

Yeah Green seems a decent enough dude. Doing his best in a tough situation.

Maybe I’m misremembering it or he did cause I can’t find anywhere they crossed paths on HockeyDB

 

[guitarguyvic]

The real cherry on top with Fitz this season is him saying on the last day that he wants to re-sign a useless goon that doesn’t address a single f***ing one of the major issues this team has.

 

[Bleedred]

They seem to do it for whatever the last home game of the season is.

It was against the Rangers back in 2015, which was our last particularly pathetic home finale before tonight.

[Billdo]

Don't know if you should trade the captain. But everyone else mentioned can go.

Everyone else? He literally only mentioned Bratt and the coaching staff. I think it's a safe bet the coaching staff is gone but Bratt? He's not getting traded.

 

[Camille the Eel]

I don’t think they ever quit on Green (maybe he never even had them to begin with) but the way they played under Green was too much like the way Vancouver played under him. And they never won enough with him.

Looking back, the turn we took after the Stadium Series game was the weird thing this season. Up until then we seemed relatively competitive, even if we were still quite mediocre and inconsistent. But after that things totally went south. Really kind of odd.

 

[JimEIV]

I have a feeling that this might get a little worse before it gets better.

 

[Bleedred]

The real cherry on top with Fitz this season is him saying on the last day that he wants to re-sign a useless goon that doesn’t address a single f***ing one of the major issues this team has.

I spent the entire season defending him for not making a trade (for a goalie) earlier, but the fact that the first acquisition we made this year was Kurtis MacDermid was a real swift kick in the balls.

I'm not saying he should have gotten someone else in a trade before he did, I'm saying it was a real kick in the balls for it to be a goon of all people.

That was nothing but a reaction to Rempe. Once Rempemania cools down, hopefully the need for a goon here ends.

And I figure there's a good chance the Rempemania ends at some point next year. I could see the love affair being over and him ending up back in Hartford.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Now that the mess is over, what was the final tally of giving up the first goal?
