So you wait to use your timeout well after we blow the lead, huh?

Laviolette better be by his ****ing phone. I want this ******* GONE. Larsson has regressed, he plays favorites with guys who suck royally, and he NEVER TAKES HIS TIME OUTS.

 

[regulahbread]

If Fayne isn't in the lineup tomorrow, Pete should be fired.

I'm getting reeeeaaaaallll tired of your ****, Pete.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

He used it in the 2nd period after and icing I believe.

Regardless, the fact that Volchenkov and Harrold are dressed every night, let alone on the same pairing blows my ****ing mind.

Nope. He used it after we gave the lead. Either Chico or Cang said so.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

He used it late in the 3rd.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

My bad didn't know that. For ****s sake Pete. The only thing keeping him around right now is the SC final run. That's it.

 

[NJDevilsFan21]

We get all these new players, and yet this team is pulling the same **** as last year. It's becoming obvious what the problem is.

 

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

They never blew a 3 goal lead in a period under Lemaire, Robinson, Ftorek, Constantine, and Burns. What's that, about 10 years worth of coaching. This has to be the 5th or 6th 3 goal lead they've blown under this guy. The fact that he is terrible with young players and ALL OUR YOUNG PLAYERS are regressing under him I mean, do I have to start rooting for them to lose for Lou to fire him like I did the last 5 games under john MacLean???

If Marcel Goc's shot is 2 inches to the right in the first overtime in the 2011 playoffs, he would have been fired after last season.

 

[Status Quo*]

He just let the team unravel. You knew they were going to tie it up after the 2nd goal. Why not ****in calm the team down and slow the momentum? So ****ing stupid, dude. And then the Volch/Harrold pairing rears its ugly head again.

 

[Emperoreddy]

He used it late in the 3rd.

He used it on the PK after we were down 4-3.

The calls to fire him are beyond silly and holy over reaction, but I can't defend him not using the TO sooner.

Also can't defend keeping Fayne in the box. Otherwise people going way to nuts here.

I don't want Lav anywhere near this team.

 

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

I'm afraid if he gets fired it will be Stevens who is the coach. I don't think that's a good idea. I'm now CONVINCED that the 2011 run was mostly Oates and Robinson.

Knowing Lou he'd hire Ron Wilson.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Here must be some sort of stat on coaches with the most blown 3-4 goal leads

[Desert Devil]

This is a scapegoat thread. Tonight's loss was just as much on the team for letting the Oilers back in it. I hate that Josefson and Fayne are out and Harrold, Volch, and Gionta are in as well. But come on guys. At some point you have to blame the players.

 

[NJDevs26]

This was a 'learning experience'...lmfao, really now Pete?

I don't disagree he should have used it earlier but he also had a TV time out coming very shortly so maybe he expected it and it didn't happen.

As for those other coaches with no 3 goal leads blown - look at who was on D then. This is nowhere near that caliber and Pete has basically the same D for 3 seasons now and a trapezoid to limit Marty being the 3rd D compared to most of those teams. It makes a difference.

Does this mean you'll use a time out next time? I so want this guy fired I can't even calm the **** down.

 

[OmNomNom]

pete's fine. it's our assistant stevens

Well what happened tonight happened throughout that year and that playoff. They just always cameback to win in OT and shootout.

Though I do agree Robinson in particular was a large part of that defensive staff. Stevens isn't cutting it.

This is a disturbing trend that goes back throughout Pete's tenure. They can't defend in their own zone and thus can't hold onto leads. His bizarre personnel choices add to the problem,

 

[Uli Hiemer]

make a stevens thread too.

 

[Bleedred]

I miss coaches that had balls like Lemaire, Burns, and even at times, Robinson.

This guy has no balls, PERIOD. He makes brutal lineup decisions, there's been so many 3 goal leads blown on his watch.

 

[NJDevs26]

Not that it would ever happen under Lemaire, but if we ever did blow a three-goal lead with him, the presser would have been real interesting.
