Shocking that the goon with 2 pts in 12 AHL games didn't help this team win a hockey game against a bigger, faster, more talented team.
Leafs already only one point behind us.

I was shocked to find the Devils leading 2-0 early and knew it was over at 2-1.
Hynes has completely looked out of place. Seems to have no ability to motivate nor does he make ANY lineup changes that make sense.
This reminds me an awful lot of the death spiral we went into after the hot start during the shortened 2013 season.

He looks like a castaway trying not to drown after his ship has sunk, flailing and lost. He does not look like a leader of men. No motivation or inspiration coming from him.
It's more or less like what happened during DeBoer's final season with us. Once a coach tries everything he knows how to do but it has no impact then you know the problems run deep. We don't even have injuries as an excuse. I wish I knew what the answer was.
And posters jumped on me yesterday when I posted
"Hynes is lost and he has lost this team."
Read some of the posts in this thread (saying the same thing in so many words) I think I am right.

“I think we had some great zone time, we just didn’t get pucks to the net and try to screen him,” Wood said of Blues goalie Jake Allen. “When the defense was shooting to the net, there was no guy there in front to screen the goalie so we made it super easy for him. Overall, we’ve just got to keep on shooting and, hopefully, things will start to turn for us.”“I thought we just took a step back,” Wood said. “We didn’t come out in the second with the same fire as we did in the first. That’s a big thing in the pro game, being very consistent each game, each period, each shift and we struggled with that tonight.”
“It’s certainly tough for us,” Wood said. “I’m mad about the situation. I want to change it. I’m trying to get a win for the guys and help them out as much as I can.”
I just don't see Hynes being fired at this point, seems a bit knee jerk to me. He's Shero's guy after all and was brought in to implement his vision of how he wants this team to play, he hasn't been around that long at all. I'm not saying something shouldn't be done but scrapping things this early doesn't seem like a good idea.
Now there are some fundamental flaws that RG brought up that don't look good but these players have to take a ton of the blame too. They really need to sack up figure it out, I don't mind losing if they are actually giving their best effort and playing with some emotion but seeing them a little ho hum when getting their ***** kicked really bothers me. If they are indeed tuning him out than yeah that is very troublesome, not many ways to deal with that other than the obvious.
What game-breaking talent, Elias and Kovalchuk? Hall's better than Kovalchuk and Camm's close enough to that version of Elias production-wise. Or Zajac, whoever you want to throw in as our #2 forward now. Honestly it's not that far off considering they had no Parise and didn't have 'lucky Clarkson' then.
Definitely close enough. That no name defense Jmac had was also pretty bad.
I do not think it is justifiable to fire Hynes when he has this crappy roster just above NHL .500 at this point
