Score with 5 minutes left in the second, 4-1 Devils.

Final score, 5-4 Rangers in OT. Kakko completely undresses Hughes for a highlight real OT winner, to complete his hat trick.

Doomed!

Kakko with three goals and an assist.

Sounds like he's doing this to figure out who needs to be fired.

Lines at practice today:

Hall-Hughes-Palms
Coleman-Zajac-Simmonds
Gusev-Zacha-Bratt
Wood-Rooney-Hayden
Boqvist

Severson-Subban
Butcher-Vats
Carrick-Tennyson
Mueller

No Greene or Nico on the ice for practice

Rumor has it Tom is frustrated by the usage of players he's scouted (like Boqvist and Hughes). Might explain Hughes on line 1 in practice.

Nico also being injured factors in.

Definitely, but I figured Hynes must've wanted to put Zacha there based on last game.

Bingo!

Been trying to ignore the 'sign Boyle' sentiment because I don't think it's the right move, but.....BUT....If we are going to be using Rooney as our 4th line center I'd rather see Boyle signed.

Conversely we have a plethora of other 4C options if some bald people would get their heads out of their butts. Boqvist for one. McLeod and a about 4 other guys in the AHL.... Or use Coleman in his natural position.

Sounds like he's doing this to figure out who needs to be fired.

my thoughts exactly. This gives the higher-ups an inside look at what's really going on at practice and with the players. If they don't like what they find, I expect a move to be made.

Which leads me to believe that Hynes and the asst coaches have no answers on how to get out of this funk. They're paying these guys to 'coach", if they can't do that then they have to go.

He did. The conversation was this:

Fitz: Hi Heinzy. Listen this doesn't look like it's going too well and some of the fans are getting a little... shall we say.... calling for your head.

Mr. Clean: Yo Fitz. How's da Fam? So like here's the thing. Half these guys are like morons. I'm not even sure that Wood kid is alive from the neck up. Fast as stink but trust me, nobody is home as they say. And none of them listen to dink.

Fitz: Is that so?

Mr. Clean: Poso(frank)inlutely. Listen, you want a see what a bunch of meat heads I'm dealing with? come down and sit on the bench with me. You won't believe. This Hughes kid keeps telling the fans to show him their tits. Nico won't stop chanting "I'm the Number one #1 pick". Severson can't stop drooling... It's embarrassing frankly. And Travis Zajac just keeps yelling "I'm the six million dollar man...da da da da da".... and moving in slow motion.

Fritz: Oh, I'll be there. I'll bring some of the Jersey Shore treats like some fried dough to give the kids energy... Big boss wants me to take a look and see how we can amicably resolve these issues before someone has an unfortunate Zamboni accident.

Is it possible Hughes is just being distracted by Erika Wachter?

this is too good! made me laugh.

My biggest concern/frustration and confusion is with the constant line shuffling. That's the only thing that has been consistent this season. I've been a Hynes defender for the past few years but this is a joke. We need a change and quick.
