Can’t be surprised, but we can and should be mad about Lou coming back. It seems at this point that his contract is “until I want to leave.”
Lou left the devils in a bad state. He left the leafs in a bad state. He has put the isles in a bad state. They only made the playoffs off a miracle run presumably motivated by Roy not Lou, along with other teams putting on a clinic of ineptitude. 2018-2021 was Barry getting everything he possibly could out of those teams and a few lucky situations created by the pandemic.
LOU SUCKS, IT IS RIGHT THERE, I don’t get it.
Heads explode in 3…2…1…
Further proves the point I’m always trying to make that ownership doesn’t care about the on ice product. Only about the real estate aspect and how much money they can squeeze out of fans. You don’t get to be a billionaire being stupid. They know how desperate a large portion of this fanbase is, and they manipulate that. They know how gullible a lot of fans are and play it like a fiddle. It’s just a business to them, they have zero interest in building a successful team. And why should they? People still go to games and buy merchandise.
man i was hoping Lou was out the door but thats too much to ask for, at least we have our 1st and 2nd round picks for now but if we keep those remains to be seen.
please just get some young blood in the lineup please
Makes sense that ownership would want Lou Lamoriello considering he’s probably the 2nd best GM in franchise history.
Happy about Roy.
Not happy about Lou, but expected it.
What I’m more interested in hearing is his gameplan for the offseason. Given the cap situation, and lack of assets, he has his work cut out for him. The easiest move for him is doubling down and running it back. Most likely outcome: he’s running it back.
Roy returning: A
LL returning: F—-
easiest way to ruin my day
A reminder to everyone to wait and see what moves are done and how the season plays out. I wanted a younger hockey mind like everyone else but this isn’t the end of the world
Oh for fucks sake….🤦🏼♂️
Not that I’m surprised nor do I expect it’s incorrect but “Lou is coming back per Lou” is not really a definitive statement.
I’m okay with this. I’ve never been on board with firing Lou.
At this point, it’s his mess, he has to clean it up.
I wonder how much another year will deteriorate Lou’s already bad mental facilities. He is hardly lucid now, barely able to make competent hockey decisions
Roy shouldn’t have been a question
Lou, I’m fine with being back, given what he’s been able to do. That said, him being back likely means just running it back and that I’m not okay with.
Moves need to be made, things need to be shaken up. Anyone can tell you that, even Lou will. I trust Lou with that. I just don’t trust Lou to actually go do it
“I will be back, per me”
Sounds like ownership gave him a lifetime contract
Short term we need to make what roster tweaks we can without giving up long term assets with an emphasis on a system that lets our goalies thrive. Maybe you get lucky in the playoffs and ride a hot hand deep…
All the while rebuilding for the mid and long term. Retain draft picks (if not get some at the deadline for one of our aging vets if the stars align and someone wants them), have a 2-3 year FA plan.
That’s what worries me about Lou and his age… unless he wants a last chapter where he is the one helping to turn the page
