Why does Coburn go to the ice when he sees Couts coming back to get the 2nd guy?

Bruno baby!

Loktionov for a 5th round pick.

Another season snuffed out and curb stomped by this Mickey Mouse franchise.

Brutal. I thought watching the Eagles season was bad, this is just as bad.

Im grabbing the scythe right now!

Lava is running behind the bench telling every guy to not bother to look around the ice, and just pinch, pinch, pinch. Poor Gervais would be kissing the cup if it wasnt for Peter.

Judas himself would do a better job teaching Gervais to be a better human being.

They are ALL at fault.

It honestly looks like he's telling them to do that. How many more odd man rushes do we have to give up? It's not even frustrating anymore, it's just sad.

He heard Lava telling him to pinch, and got too excited thus falling to the ice.

Guss was also screaming from the stands to make himself useless, with that high pitched scream we all heard a few games ago.

Bruno Gervais has played 400 NHL games, despite being a journeyman. That means he has to have been coached at some point to not do something that outrageously dumb.

The reason I feel that the coaching shares a large part of the blame is because it's not just Gervais, it's everybody. Including guys who have shown smarts and intelligent play more often than not.

When it's an epidemic like this either it's part the way they are coached, or that they have stopped listening to the coach.

I think it's a bit of both.

At what point do we as fans of this team admit that this team isn't good enough? We were better last season. We lost a lot in the off season. I didn't have to call the 90's psychic line to see this coming.

I do like what Homer has tried to do by bringing back Gagne but he doesn't change much. To Gagne's credit, I love how creative he still is and he gets back to defend even as quick as the defensemen.

As for the pp. It dies as the game gets older. We need balance. We need a net presence on that second unit. Too many forwards being put out there in two minutes.

I have no ill will to Lavy I've enjoyed his tenure here but it's over, his shelf life expired. This is like refusing to shoot old yeller at this point

Not really seeing a team out there now. Mostly just a bunch of individuals trying to do things on their own.

If only Laviolette was as smart as the other 8 coaches that clowned the Devils the last 3 weeks.

That's insane. This is Lavy's mess, pure and simple. No way Gervais pinches there unless that is the gameplan.

Ohhh hell I agree, that they need a change, they cant play an aggressive up-tempo style.

They are being exposed faster than a hooker on Higgins and Main in Winnipeg.

I am sure he is telling them to be aggressive, but they are taking it to mean to stop thinking and just skate around blindly. Maybe Pronger can come and pick up their balls off the ice after the game.
