GDT: NJD@PHI 7.30PM - Rare Ray Shero Interview Edition

[BahlDeep]

He doesn’t look very good. Hopefully we can get a 1st for him

Not sure if that's sarcasm... "hopefully"?

 

[Whaddagoal]

There is massive roster turnover this year. I get that everyone wants to be impatient and overreact, but it’s ridiculous. We started 4-0 last year. St. Louis was the worst team in the league months into the season. Just calm down and let the team gel. They don’t need even more turnover right now.

The St. Louis situation is extremely rare. Yes, it happened last year, but don't get sucked into it. Most teams at bottom of standings by end of november. will likely stay around there by seasons end.

Its a great anomaly happy story for them, but it isn't gonna make me feel any more patient with this debacle. Haha.

I want a reporter to ask him during his press conference "Hynes, what type of system are you trying to play?"

Wint be Amanda or abby? The one who's horrible

 

[njdevils1982]

fun time PP time!

Bullshit. One of the reasons why St. Louis turned it around was that they fired their coach. Their advanced stats picked up after the firing (and then Bennington came in to stabilize the goaltending). If they had kept Yeo they would have finished in the basement.

Hynes has lost the benefit of the doubt. They need to be proactive.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

How can we never have clear possession on a PP and have to battle constantly while other teams can possess the puck for days while we are on the PK?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Is anyone else worried that Shero lost his job with the pens because of his loyalty to disco dan? Hopefully he has evolved.

Haha I was just thinking this same thing. Doesn't look like he learned. He loves his tiny defenseman and crappy coaches. He has done such a tremendous job with the rest of the roster and the scouting staff, though. Don't make me hate you Ray!

I'm not exactly for firing him right now (I am for firing Kowalsky at any time now) but we're getting very close to the ''Shit or get off the bowl'' point with him.

One playoff berth in 5 years (if we miss this year) is not enough to get a sixth year with the same team. No matter how bad the roster was the first couple years or how bad the goalies have been.

 

[DVision44]

Just look how slow the puck movement on the PP is compared to the Flyers

Back when doc was still with us I remember him saying it was around 80% that the teams below the playoff line come Thanksgiving dont make the playoffs...

 

[Unknown Caller]

We had a training camp and preseason to get the new guys integrated. That they spent most of that time bingo balling the lines and playing players who had no chance of making the team far too much is poor roster management.

LOL at training camp and preseason. Yeah, because playing teams half full of AHL scrubs is the same as when the lights come on against teams that have played together for years.

 

[BahlDeep]

Having Subban play the full 2 minutes is stupid, especially in 4 0 game

 

[haak84]

Lol this team has been the worst in hockey since extended hynes but let’s give him 20 more.

 

[Tundra]

I wonder if Hall would go to Montreal. The Canadians have a loaded system.

 

[I Hate Tie DOMI]

The St Louis situation last year was an outlier not a predictor for future results.

 

[bobilly45]

Do we get the hamburgler tomorrow?

 

[Unknown Caller]

Bull****. One of the reasons why St. Louis turned it around was that they fired their coach. Their advanced stats picked up after the firing (and then Bennington came in to stabilize the goaltending). If they had kept Yeo they would have finished in the basement.

Hynes will get this team into the playoffs. And he has clearly stated countless times that he uses analytics on a nightly basis. Stop being impatient.

 

[Burner Account]

Feels like all of our offense is along the wall

 

[njdevils1982]

gross again

 

[Blender]

Pathetic.

 

[Devilsfan118]

This team looks absolutely f***ing pathetic. What a disgusting display tonight - I'm pissed that I bothered watching.

Why waste my evening if the team doesn't want to even show up?

 

[Saugus]

I was hoping we would at least break the shutout bid. What a stinker.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Hynes looks like Voldermort

 

[Unknown Caller]

Lol this team has been the worst in hockey since extended hynes but let’s give him 20 more.

Do we really need to copy and paste the lineups from the end of last season to make this argument useless?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Just look how slow the puck movement on the PP is compared to the Flyers

Because no one knows where to go with the puck. They get it and have to scan the whole rink looking for an open player before doing anything. That will never work. There is no system or structure at all. Nothing is instinctive. It's all reactive.

This reminds me of watching an MLS team compared to a Premier League team.
