  1. I think the most difficult job is coaching in Montréal because you have to explain yourself twice.

  2. And Tocchet just won the Jack Adams award.

    How much longer before he’s gets fired? The last couple of winners haven’t kept a job down for long after winning

  3. NYC AREA RESIDENT, ABD YES, dEVILS LAG IB TERMS OF MEDIA SCRUTINY, aND IT DROPPED MORE WHEN THEY MOVED TO tHE rOCK IN nEWARK FROM THE mEADOWLANDS. Keef will be fine. (Sorry about the shouting. LOL)

  4. I dont think it will happen, but mitch (with extension obv) for ullmark and maybe a pick or depth defenseman, kinda solves both teams biggest issues doesnt it? Toronto gets their #1 goaltender and a reinforced blue line, and boston gets a superstar goal scorer to really buff up their offense

  5. LA needs to do something BIG this off season… like get Marner… they just feel like a rebuild team almost with how things are going…. and that goaltending they have will sink them again.

  6. Keefe can do better with a team that isn't overloaded with forwards and underloaded with D that can play 200' and score.

  7. Hiller was brought in as an assistant to pep up the power play, and he did that. He wasn't given a mandate to completely upend McClellan's 1-3-1 system mid-season, so he didn't. Given free rein, it will be interesting to see what he does and how he does. The interesting thing will be to see what happens with Marco Sturm, given that he had a pretty successful season coaching Ontario. He was being treated as someone who had a future as a head coach in the NHL, but when the top job with the team grooming him opened up, he didn't get it. Shannon had mentioned that he might be a good fit for the Sharks, and I could see that happening.

  8. as a canuck fan that Will not pay 200$ for sportnet! T&T broadcast was pretty good to watch. espn was a tad boring.
    ill be watching the final maybe Go Florida Go

  9. i wonder if keefe will still cash in that money from the toronto extention. i guess the contract was nulllified or maybe they bought him out of it

  10. The NHL coaching carousel is ridiculous. There should definitely be young guys getting shots. If a guy doesn't work somewhere, and then he doesn't work at the next place, and then he doesn't work at the next place, why would he keep getting chances? I clearly don't understand the nuances of NHL coaching.

  11. Keefe was the best guy on the market IMO. I need the Devils to win the Cup next year, both as a fan and a lover of memes.

  12. Keefe has all the pieces in NJ to build a Cup contender. The Devs have top end fowards and dmen, and all they need to do is look for a goalie. Maybe they'll go after DeSmith…

  13. Everyone shitting on Keefe coming to NJ, every other insider coach sucked.
    Woodcroft has only 2 full seasons, extremely unexperienced.
    Gallant has temporary success, at first his new team does well, then an immediate drop off after.
    McLellan has no sustained consistency throughout his coaching career.
    And Berube is lucky. He came to St Louis with little experience to an aging and still aging team.

    Keefe has a great coaching record from the CCHL with 5 championships, A Calder Cup in the AHL, and every year of coaching making the playoffs, CCHL, OHL, AHL and NHL.
    And by signing Keefe, that still keeps the Sullivan conspiracy alive were a trade between them.
    The only other options were former Devils, which you had to try and convince Stevens out of retirement, take a shot in the dark on Driver who has only coached high School, or go for University coaches like Gionta or Pandolfo, with the former coaching at his home town and the latter only coaching for his 3rd season.

    If the Devils can't get Sullivan or Stevens, Keefe is a good option.

  14. Unless they're getting back a first line center, trading Ullmark is a horrible idea, and not just because it will be the end of the goalie hug.

  15. Michael Dipietro is in Providence former Canuck goalie of the future. Swayman also has a career high of 44 games played so you NEED a 1B

  16. After reading that "feels like any remaining team can win the cup" my brain just had to go to sarcastic mode and be like "yeah, its propably not going to be any of the eliminated teams this year". I get what is ment but it reminds me a bit of "it wasnt really a sweep" from rob the bod last year.
