There is zero chemistry between anyone. Everyone seems to be a step or two off from each other. It's very cringe worthy how awkward some of the shifts are.

I love how the flyers get blown the hell out every time against this team

I wish we played the flyers 82 times a year, then 16 times in the playoffs

I'd bet the Flyers win at least one of the last two games against the Devils, but yes it has been a remarkably lopsided matchup. That's not including that 2010 playoff matchup where you guys killed us 4 games to 1...

We are so far from that good old Legion of Doom vs. the Crash Lines days... so sad.

Don't know why anyone's complaining. Losses are a good thing right now and we already know the roster needs a lot of work.

Todd - I can't argue that calling to replace Hynes as coach would be pretty unfair. I would argue that it might have been wiser to pick a coach and staff with NHL experience. Oh, and What the French Toast is Ryan Clowe doing on our coaching staff? Since Clowe has like ZERO coaching credentials if you click on his BIO at the Devil's web site it actually takes you to Alain Nesreddine Bio!

I realize nobody is coaching this team into playing winning hockey but these guys don't play like they have a real plan out there. They came up with the pretty sounding 'fast, attacking & supportive' moniker but they don't seem to really play that way.

While that moniker seems amazing in theory, even with an anemic devils roster I've seen no glimpse of that in the two years of the Hynes era. There are plenty of coaches out there currently that could be a much better fit for the rebuild who probably would have a better idea how to use a rebuilding team then Hynes, while this experiment is fine I think it'd be wise for us to move on before were in too deep.

I understand Henrique has not had the best linemates but he has been downright aweful. Obviously getting him a top scoring linemate is the simple answer. In the meantime I'd love to see his him be a true leader and play both ends of the ice.

I agree with the comment on Henrique. He's looked a step slower, less aggressive, and less motivated. His defensive play has really taken a step back. I've really only noticed him on nights when we're playing the rags or philly. I just really think if any coaching change need to be made, it's nesraidine who should go

We have to have some pretty awful teams before we have any good ones. I just wish we lost in regulation these last two games

I don't get it either. This season is over, look forward to the progress in the next one.

Maybe... If the Devils aren't able to trade for a good young defenseman and sign a puck mover in free agency, I'm ok with going full Buffalo next season.

Yes, but if they take Cammy and his salary I would be even happier, Lovejoy could be hidden as a #6 or 7 Dman then.

I guess we ditched the Calgary model in favour of the Pittsburgh/Chicago/Edmonton model...

Calagary has been terrible for a while so it's not like their rebuild hasn't taken time.
