Already benching Nemo over Luke and Holtz still on 4th line…. absolutely no faith in Green or Fitz anymore.
Having your whole presser be revolved around accountability and scratching nemec over hughes is just laughable.
What??
Hahahahahaha congrats, fans. Ruff is known for developing prospects and now he’s gone.
I’d rather Fitz had just come out and said the year is done and they’re tanking if Green’s gonna come out and do this right after
I hate to be a doomer but this season is cooked.
Oh…ummmm did we somehow make a mistake and Green was worse?
Pretty clear that the Hughes family is in complete control of the organization and influencing decisions made. Luke should be scratched before a clearly superior Nemec, Nemec should have been on PP1 instead of taken off PP2 for Colin Miller.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
There you go. Worse than anything Ruff put on the ice. Now you know. Gone from bad to worse.
By my reckoning Nemec has been our best D this season. Which leads me to ask, you fucking what?!
It somehow got twice as bad. I’ve lost all confidence in this organization
I definitely like the idea of having Hughes with Bratt again. They should honestly just move Toffoli at this point and shift Holtz into the top 6.
FIRE TRAVIS
DeSimone getting a look might not be the worst thing. He’s been with the team for a bit now and what’s been done so far clearly hasn’t worked. New coach, new rules, new things are tried
The only conceivable reason to swap for Nemec is age and even then he should be subbed in for Luke. I’m willing to not write this move off until we see it on ice, but it’s a questionable decision at best
Fire Green chants tonight
Nothing to freak out about, Nemec has been playing crazy minutes and could be dinged up.
AINT NO WAY ITS GETTING WORSE
I always felt like Green was a weird associate/assistant hire following Brunette. Tbf I wasn’t crazy about either considering the cats flamed out after Bru replaced Q’s superb team. Green did not have much success in Vancouver but his Vancouver teams were retools and had young emerging stars, much like our team (QHughes, Pettey, Demko, Boeser, etc). I truly felt like Green was a worse option than Lindy but we had nothing to lose by assigning him interim HC. His work and readjustment on the PP was terrible, almost Recchi-bad… Let’s hope he’s able to readjust the roster and strategy during games.
So we’re tanking.
Man, this sub is really on full over reaction mode. It’s full on toxic fan mode in here.
These lines are abysmal and my faith in Greene, already not high, is starting off pretty low.
I mean these lines are *horrific*
All this says is the tank is on scratching our best defenseman or limiting his role to see what others do is a sign
I’m going to be charitable and chalk up this likely scratch to load management. But I expect Luke’s load to be similarly managed and will not be happy if he keeps getting the minutes he’s gotten all season
Everyone here is overreacting… we don’t know what is going on behind closed doors. Nemec might be banged up and needs the rest… also, ANYONE who thought Greene would be better than Ruff has completely ignored the fact that Greene is the person who ran our PowerPlay and yea…. 4% is all you need to know.
I really don’t care what team is on the ice tonight as long as they win. Hughes needs a break and Nemec may be dealing with a minor injury. I want to react negatively as well but seeing that Haula, Hughes, Bratt reminds me Jack was scoring his most on a line with there guys. If Nemec is just a healthy scratch then I am indeed wondering what is going on that we don’t know about.
It could just be rest. The kids play so many minutes for rookies they might be rotating less work around the D pairings. Idk but Green coached Van when they had a lot of younger guys and he’s obviously seen something this season he’s actioning. Ultimately he knows more than us so let’s see what happens over the next few days with it
Man this sub has become insufferable, overreactions for anything they don’t like. Turned into a Facebook group in one season.
Whats your dream lines?
Meier – Hischier – Palat
Bratt – Hughes – Holtz
Mercer – Haula – Toffoli
MacDermid – Lazar – Smith
Seigenthaler – Marino
Bahl – Nemex
Hughes – Miller
–
I don’t put a ton of stock into forwards having to be on a certain side anymore and we’re kind of desperate do I dont care if guys seem to be on their off wing to shake things up.
I think Meier has looked good last few games.
I dont think the 2nd line is too 1 dimensional.
I think Mercer has had a horrible season.
Macdermid and smith as a 4th line sounds spooky and they can throw Hughes out there occasionally.
We all hate these lines and have lost hope. You know what that means?
Take the devils moneyline tonight because they’ll probably win xD
Lines can change between practice and games.
There are reasons besides poor play for a player getting less ice time or scratched from a game.
I am absolutely, 100% positive that Travis Green does not think Simon Nemec is playing poorly.
Good lord.
Everyone on here is blowing a gasket without any idea why Nemec isn’t in the lineup, he could be a little banged up for all you know fucking relax.
I can only assume this means we win tonight. or lose by 8.
Too fucked up for anything in between
Flames sub talking about nemec and holtz trade (and a 1st!) for Marky. Because someone’s friends somethingerother realtor in Calgary something.
Green’s first day so far: bench the most consistent D player all season because his game has “dipped” (???) and throw shade at Daws in the press.
Gonna be an interesting final month.
The reasonable and rational take is this is because Green thinks Nemec has been playing lazy and wants him to figure it the fuck out.
I’m not gunna ask for Green’s head on a pike. Let’s see if anything changes.
This must be rest for Nemec. Amongst Devils defensemen: 1. xGoals per 60: 1st 2. xAssists per 60: 1st 3. D-zone giveaways: last (meaning least giveaways) 4. Giveaways: last 5. xGoals: 2nd (Hughes) 6. XGoal diferential: 2nd (Hughes) I used expected in many cases to remove the goalie factor
So it begins…
A kid is getting a little rest after a brutal loss. It’s not that big of a deal.
Dear lord. We finally get rid of Lindy and everyone is still complaining and dooming about each decision. We’re not experts. It’s like this sub enjoys being toxic and doomy. I was hoping it would finally have some levity again. Geeze.
