So you're saying that every other hall of fame has never played with a subpar defensive partner ?? That's ridiculous. Keith's decline was because of the aging process of course, but Colliton's use of him was also a part of it. And.... I do not believe that Keith would have wanted to be moved elsewhere if he had a top notch coach here. JMO.

Subpar? It was questionable whether Keith's partner should be playing in Chicago or RFD most nights.

So as Toews and Kane's play begin to tail off are we blaming that on JC too? No wonder Seabs had an issue with Colliton. He'd probably still be playing if not for JC.

AS long as Crawford isn't elevated to head coach.

If JC goes, there's gonna be a whip-cracker brought in to force these guys to play defense. Within a week, we'll see posts on here about what a brute the new coach is and how being a tyrant no longer works with today's youngsters.

Gus with more ice time than Stillman and De Haan, and only 5 seconds less than Murphy, let that sink in. I’m going to give credit where credit is due, De Haan played a much better game than he did against the Avs, maybe it was due to strength of the competition. Actually, I thought that 44 and 61 were the most consistent Dmen tonight 5 on 5.

I like 61, i don't think he's hit his ceiling yet, of the lesser dmen on this team he seems to understand what being on the right side of the puck means.

Does this coach even manage the players time on the ice.

New blog! Game summaries of the Devils 4-3 OT victory over the Blackhawks and the Griffins 6-1 throttling of the IceHogs.

Plus, thoughts on Dylan Strome's individual situation being a microcosm for the team's overall situation with inconsistent compete level.

It was nice to see a forward try to knock Jones off the puck and the forward bounced off of him. Didn't realize he was that strong on his skates, especially a guy who randomly falls down on the ice
