Committed treason to win presidency, was impeached, is the single most corrupt politician in USA history, over 40 sexual assault complaints, including rape and including stuff with kids. Blatantly racist. Single worst Covid response in the world. Suffering from dementia. Worst economic collapse since depression, sky high unemployment, hated throughout the world, destroyed America's reputation, despised by literally all educated people.

The worst part is how dumb you actually have to be to think he did anything good.

You're so informed that your first sentence shows how completely unaware you are. Collusion with Russia in the 2016 election has been proven to be completely false. He was impeached in a partisan charade with no evidence by democrats. Any impeachment that is partisan is not legitimate. More hyperbole from Tanner. Prove that he is the most corrupt politician in US history. Give up some facts. Nothing you posted here is factual. LOL. It's all Tanner rhetoric. Suffering from dementia. Shame you and you're an bumhole for saying that. My Father happens to have dementia and if you actually knew what that was like, you wouldn't make that statement. You prove yourself to be a bigger idiot every day.
The worst economic collapse caused by a pandemic is going to followed by the greatest recovery in US history. Right back to where the economy was before the pandemic. The number of people on unemployment has already been cut in half. Last month saw the greatest job growth in US history. Get used to it. Four more years.

You keep saying that the same coaches get recycled yet 12 coaches are on their first job. 8 are on their second stint after taking either assistant roles or head coaching roles in a different league. Hardly recycled and most are getting a second chance. Here is a list of "recycled"
Tortorella
Vigneault
Quenneville
Julien
Trotz
DeBoer
Tippett
All of these guys have impressive resumes that deserve to be hired again.


Which leaves Maurice, Ruff, McLellan, and Hynes (who was one of the young, up and coming coaches when hired by NJ) as the "retreads."

Wait, Tanner is uninformed here? I'm shocked.

Pretty much everyone here who has argued Ruff's a good coach is missing the point: there is a group of people who are constantly recycled in the NHL. Lindy Ruff literally failed several times so badly that he was fired. The fact that the NHL is so comfortable hiring and rehiring the same 62 year old white guys over and over again is the problem.

You can say whatever you want to, but like all 60 year olds, Ruff learned what he knows 30 years ago. Are you telling me that there are no younger people who have come along since 1997 - when a 40 year old Ruff got his first NHL job - who could do coach in the NHL?

People are like yeah how many teams have been successful doing that? I would say the same amount of teams who've won with Lindy Ruff coaching.

- James_Tanner


Also, most Devils fans are against the hire and have criticized how ownership as handled the coaching search from the beginning. However, they apparently value their analytics department a lot (one of the big reasons Shero was fired) and ownership seemed to have a lot of influence in the coaching search, so who knows how they ended on Ruff.

I like to stay out of American politics. Being Canadian it's really none of my business. Having said that, beware. Joe Biden just might be Donald Trumps tonic. A lifeline of sorts. If the people on here think Lindy Ruff is old, take a look at Biden. Good grief. He can barely make it up to the podium, when he does come out of his basement. Is he even coherent any longer? And this is the best the Dems have to offer. Trump scares the living (insert word of your choice), but Biden??? I mean come on man! At this point I'll be happy if the borders stay locked down for the next four years.

Please stop politics, Tanner, Rents whoever else move onto a different chat room ha.

Keep it to the authors lack of hockey knowledge.

Wasn’t aware that one can’t learn anything over the age of 30. Does the author not realize that people learn and adapt.

Just dumb and lazy for a supposed writer to not know about a coach before he sewers him.

The devils will be way better this year with him, if the season ever happens again.

It's not as cut and dry as Tanner makes it out to be.

What Tanner leaves out is that certain players at the mid range level may have many intangibles that aren't reflected on the stst sheet. Leadership, defensive play, personality, experience , making line mates play better are qualities that shouldn't be easily dismissed. This is why teams pay them in mid millions price range. Yes, sometimes certain players. Don't plan out, but that can be said for players up and down the lineup

Maybe a reason why Leafs are exciting but not winners. Obviously, time will tell.

NHL GMs don't treat the cap lightly, and having a core of players beyond high prices talent is needed to win a cup. It's just not as simple as interchanging mid level players with high end talent.

Facts be tough for some I guess. Every example I gave can be supported by data, but we all know that doesn't matter to you and those like you.

TDS is a real disease

Nice try broflake. Go back to sleep.

Committed treason to win presidency, was impeached, is the single most corrupt politician in USA history, over 40 sexual assault complaints, including rape and including stuff with kids. Blatantly racist. Single worst Covid response in the world. Suffering from dementia. Worst economic collapse since depression, sky high unemployment, hated throughout the world, destroyed America's reputation, despised by literally all educated people.

The worst part is how dumb you actually have to be to think he did anything good.
