Can't win on the road because of match-ups and ****** coaching.

Scariest part is there were a few shifts that Devils had 4th line vs Giroux with Krys ****ing Barch on it, and still out played them.

Line up with Briere, Gervais, Foster,in them is a road nightmare for match ups.

Briere is and always has been terrible defensively and losing defensively responsible forwards hurt him.

You guys are lucky though, Schenn is a pretty solid defenceman and there's some young talent up front. Lot of damage done though by forwards struggling to pick up the trailers. Maybe it's a coaching issue?

Briere actually hasn't been bad defensively this year. He's just been a total nonfactor on even strength offense, which is bad.

I kinda want to just ride this out and have a proper coach search in offseason. Trade anyone at deadline if it makes sense, and quick re build. We have enough quality players, but this set up aint gonna work.

I agree. No rash moves or firings. Not until a good replacement is lined up.

I can live with this Benny. but I really would like to hear Homer make some comment about the coaching, even if they are sugar coated round about comments I just would like to hear from him that he doesn't feel like the team is being properly coached.

Yup, or Lavy calling the team out. W hen gm doesn't call coach out and coach doesn't call players out, frustrates the heck out of us fans.

does anyone think Snider and Homer are thinking about a coaching change or are they giving him a Mulligan because we lost jagr jvr and carle whilst waiting on the Weber deal?

Either can him or trade someone to shake **** up. I bet thy go after ROR , just not sure what they offer ?

Ehh, do we really need another center? Giroux, Schenn, Coots, Briere, Talbot, Cousins, Laughton, Holmstrom already. Read used to play C too. If we could get Perry without trading G, Coots or Schenn I'd do that but I don't see Anaheim looking to trade the way they're playing.

Last year I felt Lavy's system wasn't going to win anytime soon and all I heard was rookies and injuries. Now the rookie excuse has expired so injuries are the only thing left. I guess we could throw Lappy and Pronger in there for good measure.

How much longer do we have to put up watching a team with very little to no emphasis on defense? I know it's a different sport but how did all that scoring work out for Tom Brady and company? Until this team hires a coach with a solid defensive system we're going nowhere. 2010 is looking more and more like the aberration it was with each passing game.

Don't need a CEnter, but he is the shiny piece available that is defensively responsible. Type of player we need and they will try and get IMO.
