Pete hasn't been the same since being caught in a cleavage peek at Staples Center...

GTFO, Peter!

But who comes in to replace him?? i have sneaking suspicion it would be Jacques Martin... you don't want THAT.

 

[CalamityX11]

i do want a serious replacement and not something to laugh at... obviously but PDB's watch is counting down til he turns it around IMO....

Idk what I'd do if its Lavy.... hell maybe Barry can come by LOL

Robbie Ftorek could light up a fire under that bench - or toss the bench.

NO. HE'S OURS...because for a few games that whole "left wing lock" thing worked.

He's a decent coach in the right situation, but I feel like the NHL has passed him by just a bit. His attention to detail is probably more suited to an assistant/associate role though.

Boobs have been the downfall of many men

Does he get a little longer leash because 50% of his offense just up and quit and went to Russia?

He had to develop a completely new system and teach it to the team.

I hate to sound blasphemous (ironic since I root for the Devils) but I think Stevens should be on the hot seat as much as PDB. Our D has been a trainwreck for 2 seasons now. Gave him the benefit of the doubt last year since there was no training camp but they are painful to watch.

 

[TiLoBrown]

I'm on PDB for his refusal to play younger talent, but I agree both should be looked at

 

[CalamityX11]

Stevens is more on a hot seat than PDB right now IMO.... I mean the dropoff in defense is too significant not to overlook...

He might if he didn't have 10 game losing streak last year too

After the first few Pens game I was impressed...because you could see his influence. They got away from that on the FLA road trip. We'll see if they get it back at home. I don't care if it's boring, a W is a W.
