Wow. Quite the mess. Player's decision, isn't that the principle? Two way street: don't let Swedish players from eliminated NHL teams join their National team for the precious WHC then. Take it out of their hands.

Julien out, Lamoriello in as Devils prepare for playoffs
Updated: April 3, 2007, 3:01 PM ET
Associated Press



EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Having the New Jersey Devils in first place in the Atlantic Division with a week to go in the regular season got coach Claude Julien fired on Monday.

Sound strange?

Only Devils GM Lou Lamoriello could fire his coach and make it seem like it's the most logical decision in the world, Scott Burnside writes.

When you work for general manager Lou Lamoriello, it's all about winning Stanley Cups.

Feeling that Julien didn't have the team ready to make a Cup run
with the playoffs scheduled to start next week, Lamoriello fired him on Monday and took over behind the bench for the second straight year.

"I don't think we're at a point of being ready both mentally and [physically] to play the way that is necessary going into the playoffs," Lamoriello said outside an empty Devils locker room at the Continental Airlines Arena. "I am not saying that is going to change. But I think there has to be better focus going forward."

The stunning move came less than a day after the Devils beat Boston for their fourth win in five games. New Jersey's 102 points is tied for the second most in the Eastern Conference.

This isn't the first time Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello has made a coaching change on a playoff team late in the season.

He fired Robbie Ftorek late in the 1999-2000 season and replacement Larry Robinson led the team to its second Stanley Cup title.

Julien, who was informed of his dismissal on Monday morning by Lamoriello, was not immediately available for comment. He posted a 47-24-8 mark in his first season in New Jersey.

Lamoriello refused to say how long that he has been considering the move, noting that Julien did nothing off the ice to get fired.

"He certainly understands," Lamoriello said.

Lamoriello, who replaced Larry Robinson as coach on Dec. 19, 2005, would not say whether Julien will remain with the organization.

A practice scheduled for Monday was called off after Lamoriello discussed the move with the team.

"Our job is to listen to what has been said and why the decision was made," Devils captain Patrik Elias said. "Management said it gives us the best chance to accomplish what we want to accomplish and that is to win the [Stanley] Cup."

Lamoriello would not say specifically what was wrong with the team. The Devils, who have struggled scoring all season, have slumped recently, winning seven of 15 games with forwards Brian Gionta, John Madden and Elias sidelined by groin injuries.

In NHL history, the only man to coach a team in the playoffs after taking over with no more than three games remaining in the regular season was Phil Esposito with the Rangers in 1989. Esposito, who was also the team's general manager, fired coach Michel Bergeron with two games to go in the regular season. The Rangers lost both of those games, then got swept by Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs.

However, the three have returned to the lineup in the past week, helping to turn things around.

"You don't always judge by wins and losses as far as where you are at," said Lamoriello, who built three Stanley Cup winning teams in New Jersey the previous 11 seasons. "The way we put ourselves in this organization, you have to look at the big picture. To say that 102 points today isn't an excellent accomplishment, it's extremely positive. But I have to look at a lot of factors."

Julien was handicapped by roster problems because the Devils have been up against the NHL salary cap all season. Injuries have forced him to play several minor league players.

"I think everybody takes responsibility, including me," Lamoriello said.

Monday's firing isn't the only time Lamoriello made a late-season coaching move. He fired Robbie Ftorek with eight games left in the 1999-2000 season and Robinson led the team to its second Stanley Cup title.

Lamoriello didn't consider the change in 2000 in deciding to replace Julien, the Devils seventh coach since 2000, which includes two stints by Robinson.

"You don't think of those things," Lamoriello said. "Nothing makes it any easier, believe me. The day anything like this becomes easy, or when it's trading a player or when you have make these decisions and it becomes easy, that's the day you look for a different position."

Julien previously coached the Montreal Canadiens from January 2003 until January 2006.

Sounds familiar. This Bruins team isn't even remotely ready for the show.

How much of that falls directly on Clooooooooode, I'm not sure. But his personnel decisions of late certainly don't work in his favor.

This team is a mess right now.

I put about 60% on coach, and about an even 20% a piece on the players and Harvard boy.

He did not do enough to bring in talent leading up to the deadline. Ryder went to a division rival and has been hot as sh!t. Morrow didn't happen. Jarome.....probably didn't have a shot, but never should have allowed us all to think we got him.

And the players need to step the F up. Everyone has injuries. I was unaware that our margin was so thin when 1 or 2 guys go out.

Lou canned CJ heading into the playoffs and that Devils team promptly shat the bed completely after he did. Julien's not the problem, team is playing half assed and stupid, PP can be blamed on coaching, but then you also have to praise the staff for the PK. CJ's not the one making Z attempt a coast to coast rush from behind is own net only to turn it over at in 2 strides at the hash marks.

i'd say 50% on players, 35% on coaches, 10% on chia and 5% on monty burns for the (frank) of it.

chia attempted to get iggy, got jagr, secured the lochness swede and kept team pretty much intact. players are culpable for being pussies. cloode isn't doing enough motivate or shake things up. personnel wise or system wise. PP is disturbing but yeah PK continues to do well. goaltending saving grace right now. I thought this game would be a gong show with fights and hitting and pissed off cranky players. got a (frank)ing occupy causeway street performance. all talk no action. what's next?

What's a coaches mission statement?

Coach-Noun
a: a private tutor

b: one who instructs or trains; especially: one who instructs players in the fundamentals of a sport and directs team strategy


Well.....our team offensive strategy sucks. who runs the Powerplay? Jarvis? Houda? Abysmal failure!

Where are the legs? Where is the offense? back to backs suck, and the Isles aren't a bad team, but there was no heart tonight, and that will kill this season real fast

Swedish federation vetoes Carl Soderberg's transfer

Carl Soderberg’s arrival in Boston has been delayed. As TSN first reported, the Swedish federation has declined to issue Soderberg his transfer card, thereby preventing him from reporting to the NHL.

The Bruins have already signed Soderberg to a three-year contract. Soderberg has also negotiated his exit deal with Linkoping, his Swedish club.

The NHL is entering a five-day period to determine its next move, according to a source familiar with the situation. The NHL could go against the Swedes and stamp Soderberg’s transfer card. If that happens and the Swedish federation balks, the issue might have to be settled in an arbitration court.

Soderberg still wants to play for the Bruins."

The Guy Smiley / Kirk Leudeke twitter debate on Milan Lucic is must-see entertainment

"Put the pitchfork away. You're smarter than this" - Kirk to Guy Smiley

----------------------------

For the record, I agree with Guy Smiley ... When a team (and certain player) is dogging it night in and night out, the embarassment of a benching might help to motivate a guy.

twitter is annoying due to the limited amount of space you have to get a point across
a coach has so many tools to get a player back on track..ice time is one of them
i see no harm in sitting him..no matter what his "issues" are and kirk offered nothing to shed any light on what they might be..if he even knows
their are a lot of lucic haters, i am not one of them...but it seems he took it that way or thinks it was just a knee jerk reaction...it's not..17 has been awful for a majority of the year
sit hortons ass down too if need be

i am very surprised at how good jagr has been, being asked to due far more than he probably thought he would be doing..bergy and marchand being a part of that..he has been their best forward since coming over
i would have no reservations about signing him for 1 year going forward
not sure if they could now or if they would have to wait until the summer or not
