Once again we find ourselves wondering, what’s going on in this picture:
A. At the Devils rookie dinner, Zach (right. Her?) insists that he is not, in fact, a rookie anymore, and consequently shouldn’t be on the hook for the tab. But Travis (left), ever the prankster, is adamant that he has never seen Zach before, thereby proving he’s a rookie. It’s a fight Zach will never win, and once again he finds himself stuck paying for his teammates’ nearly insatiable desire for delicious Medieval Times dinners. (Off screen, under the table, Travis is also installing the latest step in his most recent taffy-in-the-shoes strike. Zach will never know what hit him.)
B. While they refuse to wear visors during play, Jamie Langenbrunner, left, and Mike Mottau, right, insist on wearing sunglasses indoors at all times, no matter how dark the restaurant.
C. Patty Elias, right, is the Devils appointed social secretary for entertaining prospective free agents or trade targets, giving them a glimpse of what life in Newark has to offer. Here, VincentLecavalier, left, finds the Ironbound to be far hipper than he had been led to believe. “In Tampa,” he will later say, “we don’t get served maraschino cherries out of footed silver bowls alongside dinner rolls and goblets of genuine Newark tap water!!”
D. Jim Rockford charms a young woman on the lam in Vegas in the hopes of getting a percentage of the reward for the money she’s absconded with.
Option E: James Garner being cool as a cucumber.
Wait, James Garner? That’s not Paulie being cool as a cucumber? :P
(And yes. Rawr!)
Good morning, everyone! Guess what crazy-assed thing I did today — I left the house at 5:30 in the morning to walk to work. (I must have been energized by the thought of Patty Elias wooing Vinny Lecavalier with dinners at Medieval Times.) I had to be here at 7:30 for the second day of this training session, and figured if I was getting up early anyway, I might as well walk and see if I could get cool pictures in the super-early-morning light. Well, jokes on me. It’s foggy today. No magic hour for me.
And that’s my story.
Good Morning,
Have you seen the TSN report on the CTV Calgary report that Sutter is resigning from the Devils today?
F. Brett Sutter has one final lunch with Lou Lamoriello before handing in his letter of resignation.
And what is the deal with the maraschino cherries on the table? Were they for the just-ordered banana splits?
Sorry your photo trek didn’t turn out like you wanted, Schnookie. Maybe you can get some great photos on the walk back home.
I think I know exactly what Lou’s got in mind…. Bill Guerin — player/coach!
Seriously, though, I liked what Sutter did for the team, but honestly, they’ve been treading water in some massive two-year drownproofing nightmare. I can’t say breaking in a new coach again will set the team back that much. As long as new coach isn’t Lemaire. Or Butthead.
I must have been energized by the thought of Patty Elias wooing Vinny Lecavalier with dinners at Medieval Times.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Seriously, that was my favorite scenario. Dinners at Medieval Times! And to think I had almost completely wiped Medieval Times from my mind, since dinner there is a tragicomic affair, no matter who you are.
I do hope you get some good photos, though!
As long as new coach isn’t Lemaire. Or Butthead.
I hear Brett Hull’s looking for a job! Kidding, aside, but I hope you guys get someone… palatable. (I still feel kind of bad for Sutter, though.)
Another coach killed. Sigh. Why don’t we just bite the bullet and make John MacLean coach? Seriously, he’s hung around, paid his dues. Let’s see what he’s got.
No I’m not joking.
Hey Brent, don’t let the door hit you where the lord split you!
*headdesk* Wonderful, another coach gone. Unless they hire like, Therrien, my day could not get any worse.
If his heart’s not in it (sorry for the lame cliche), then he can go eff himself. He’s angered me more in his tenure than any other coach.
wow, that didnt take long. 2 whole seasons? and the honeymoon is over and Div papers signed.
The question is who is the ring leader of the coach killers club?
My guess is its Brodeur, Sutter had the team under control until he came back, then quickly lost them. and without Stevens to keep him in check, he’s run amok.
Unless and Until Lamoriello figures out who is the root cause, they’ll never get out of the first round.
as much as i disliked whatshisname, that guy who was goalie when Brodeur was out, i liked the team during that period.
Let’s see what he’s got.
I think we’ve seen what Johnny Mac’s got. And what he’s got is absolutely abysmal special teams. I think Lou should clean house and start from scratch.
Fuuuuuuuck. I know what’s going to happen. Head Coach Holik. With assistant player/coach Butthead. And assistant coach Lemaire.
I know what’s going to happen. Head Coach Holik.
This? Would be hilarious, and disastrous. Sorry Devils fans.
Good morning all!
I don’t think it’s the players’ fault. I think Sutter has some shady nepotism dealings going on in Calgary. Whatever, I’ll remember him as “the guy who voluntarily quit because he couldn’t handle it.”
Head Coach Holik? That’s perfect!
Fuuuuuuuck. I know what’s going to happen. Head Coach Holik. With assistant player/coach Butthead. And assistant coach Lemaire.
And that’s when I bury all my hockey equipment, get me one of those Men In Black obliviater thingies, and become a fan of baseball.
This? Would be hilarious, and disastrous.
No. Only disastrous! :PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
I don’t think it’s the players’ fault.
I agree that on the surface this wasn’t the classic Devils coach killing that we know and love, because clearly Sutter made a poor personal decision in taking the job in the first place. I can sympathize with that, and I hope he’s happier to be closer to home and to his other businesses. As someone who’s made all her career choices based on how much time I can spend at home with my family and enjoying my hobbies, I can’t fault him for that.
However, I agree with Ken that things are still fishy. There’s definitely an undercurrent of fucked up-edness with the personnel of this team right now. From top to bottom. I suspect Marty having as much power as he does doesn’t help. I suspect the lack of quality players in Lowell and thus no threat of being played out of the line-up doesn’t help.
Sutter made a poor personal decision in taking the job in the first place.
That’s definitely what started this whole thing.
Head Coach Holik. With assistant player/coach Butthead. And assistant coach Lemaire.
Just take it one step further and have the players buy the team. Then you’d create a mess of player/owners and player/owner/coaches.
Sutter made a poor personal decision in taking the job in the first place.
I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. And the rest of your comment, but most particularly with that statement.
I suspect the lack of quality players in Lowell and thus no threat of being played out of the line-up doesn’t help.
I agree with that. I mean, the only time the team played well last year was in the lead-up to the trade deadline, when they were all suddenly freaking out for their jobs. Some veteran teams (like, say, the Wings) are smoothly-running machines, but others (like, say, the Devils. Sigh) are just a collection of entrenched, unmotivated old guys.
Early morning fog makes for great pictures, too, Schnookie! (I probably would have just gone back to sleep once I saw it wasn’t perfect. Or even once I saw it was perfect.)
Sorry about Sutter! Mainly because it leaves questions for now. Sounds like he’s not the one, but that doesn’t mean the next one is the one. :P (I’m sure it’ll work out fine!)
entrenched, unmotivated old guys
Can I use that for my fantasy team name next year? :P
Sorry about Sutter! Mainly because it leaves questions for now.
Heh. “Who’s going to be our coach?” is not a question Devils fans are at all uncomfortable living with. :P

Oh! Then good!
At least it can’t be Tom Renney

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I’m sticking with the Brodeur theory of coach rotation. i think that if he hadnt been injured, Sutter would have gone out in the last handful of games, just like the rest of ‘em.
Sutter showed he can get the team to play above their skill level. hell, they broke the team record for number of wins.
the team stayed in his style until Brodeur broke his beloved record, then it was downhill from there.
“Who’s going to be our coach?” is not a question Devils fans are at all uncomfortable living with.
Puck Daddy says that y’all have had 15 coaches since 1988, including Lou’s two stints. I had no idea that the numbers were so high.
At least it can’t be Tom Renney
Thank God for that! I say bring back Ftorek (but I might be biased since he hooked me up with a Pandolfo autographed puck and picture).
entrenched, unmotivated old guys.
Yeah, ok, but that’s not all Sutter’s fault. As previously mentioned, part of that comes out of not having competition from Lowell. Which is kinda the fault of erm, not so excellent drafting.
Puck Daddy says that y’all have had 15 coaches since 1988, including Lou’s two stints.
So they last 1.4 seasons on average. Yeah, sounds about right.
As a total aside, 15 is also the number of times I’ve moved house, and I was born in ’88. Crazy.
I’m not sure how I feel about Sutter’s leaving. On one hand, he annoyed me with his constant line juggling and never telling Brodeur to sit the hell down when necessary and the playoff results were certainly not what we would like to see. On the other hand, the team stayed together well during Brodeur’s absence and I’m not sure any other coach would have got this team any farther.
To ramble on even more, I wonder if Sutter was “allowed” to tell Brodeur what to do. I think this team will be in trouble until I see a coach have the authority to pull Brodeur when necessary and only play him a mere 60 times a year.
Wow Mags, really? That’s crazy!
Yeah, ok, but that’s not all Sutter’s fault.
Oh, I totally don’t think it was his fault at all. I tend to think that any coach coming into the Devils organization right now, with the way the team is built, is going to have an uphill battle. Marty’s always above the coach on the org chart, and none of the skaters are facing any kind of pressure to keep their jobs. *Shrugs* What can they do?
Wow Mags, really? That’s crazy!
Yeah, I’m not sure what that says about my family. To be fair, the number is bolstered by moving 4 times in ’98, when we emigrated to Hong Kong and our apartment wasn’t immediately available, and twice in ’06 when I started university.
Marty’s always above the coach on the org chart, and none of the skaters are facing any kind of pressure to keep their jobs.
Mount Funfetti, here we come!
Marty’s always above the coach on the org chart
yup, i get the feeling wth the coach de jour telling Brodeur its time to take a rest, and Brodeur refuses, after a few months the rest of the team starts to lose respect too. The book, the website, the marketing, the helmet – i get the feeling Brodeur doesnt fit into the team first mentality.
unless, of course, you buy into the Brodeur IS the Devils line of reasoning.
unless, of course, you buy into the Brodeur IS the Devils line of reasoning.
At this point, I have to be honest and say I really, really, really appreciate how much Marty has done for the team up to this point, and that it’s just a given that he’s going to be part of what keeps the team a non-contender for the next five to seven years. I’m just killing time until the next Devils Era comes along. I’m going to keep my expectations low (make the playoffs, lose early, keep Zach at the top of the scoring race) and bide my time by enjoying what I can about the Devils and by reveling in the unexpected joys of a Tranny Bride team or two. But since Marty became the winningest goalie of all time while I was a fan, and was a big reason I got to see my team win a Cup while I was in the building, I’m letting him off the hook for all the craptitude that comes with him having too much power.
after a few months the rest of the team starts to lose respect too.
I can see that. If Marty – the team’s biggest star – doesn’t see the need to respect the coach – then why would they, you know?
And I read that June 18th is Marty Day in NJ. What will you be doing to celebrate this day?

Giving a two-hour lecture at an old folk’s home on blogging. No joke! :D But seriously, I really, really, really appreciate Marty but no way in Hell am I going to Trenton to show it!

Oh, and this:

Yeah, I don’t blame you for that – but it feels kind of sucky for y’all that the Devils could be better if maybe Marty would buckle under a bit, maybe actually listen to someone.
Maybe the Devils need an Evil Villain for a coach; someone sneaky, someone manipulative. Heh.
I really, really, really appreciate Marty but no way in Hell am I going to Trenton to show it!

And yes, Trenton is that bad. I was talking with someone yesterday whose husband is a Trenton cop. Apparently his advice to her was to never go there unless she absolutely has to. When I had jury duty a couple years ago, they had us park in a stadium parking lot and then they drove us all into town to the courthouse in a prison bus. Trenton is terrifying.

But that’s a lot of money. I kind of wanna keep ol’ Road Spikes and he’s the one with a similar contract.
Hey before we all throw Marty under the bus as the coach killer y’all are forgetting the amazing disappearing Patty Elias! He’s been here for all of the swooning, and he has flat out not shown up in the playoffs many times. Even when he was on the A Line and we were winning Cups he was a head case. I remember the “A-Line Only” meetings that had to be held from time to time to talk Patty up.
I honestly think that now is the best time for someone to come in to take the job coaching the Devils. Our good prospects are getting to Lowell so there will be some pushing over the next few years, Marty’s strings of 30 & 35+ win seasons have been snapped, so if he is ever going to be receptive to playing less it is now or never, and the core of the Devils is still pretty solid.
Oh yeah, the Canucks actually need more centers than wingers…hmmm
Right now we have Johnny. And Kes if he goes back to center. *shudder*
SQUEE! Sherry, do you want Mats Daddy and St. Lou?
I don’t want Mats Daddy and his trillion dollar salary…and plus of his tainted history :P

Thanks, andrew. I’ve already got several friends on suicide watch.
I hear ya though….got a meeting in two weeks down in Lynwood. Never heard of it? It’s a small neighborhood sandwiched in between Compton and Watts.
Yikes! Heh. When I roadtripped down to California with some friends a few years ago my friend booked the hotel online for Long Beach and was raving about what a good deal it was. Yeah. Turned out to be the sketchiest neighbourhood I’d ever seen. We actually had cops escort us back from dinner. Lol.
Fuuuuuuuck. I know what’s going to happen. Head Coach Holik. With assistant player/coach Butthead. And assistant coach Lemaire.
Please, no. I’ll have to find a new team.
I have this strange feeling we’ll be seeing Guy Carbonneau. However, if you really want someone who wouldn’t be afraid to tell Marty to sit, Lou COULD hire Patty Roy. Although I think it would be a disaster in all other ways…and I hate Roy. But, the reaction from Marty would be classic. Maybe Lou could just threaten to hire Roy.

Carbo wouldn’t be a bad guy to have! And… he’s foxy!

I’ve seen Ted Nolan’s name mentioned in a couple of places. He already has experience with goalies who think they know everything, so he could handle Marty.

Well, the days of NJ players winding up drunk at Lace (local ‘gentlemens’ club’, don’t you love the euphemism) seem to be over. Apparently a night out is Marty rounding everyone up for a dinner out at The Black Forest Inn out in the back of beyond in Stanhope, where the chef does a special menu for the boys.
I’ve been there – with my parents. It’s that kind of crowd.

andrew: the part where Christopher Walken tells the history of watch.
Favorite scene from Pulp Fiction?
You’re asking for one?
I got four.
A) The first scene where you meet Jules & Vincent, the “Royale with Cheese” scene;
B) Uma Thurman’s OD scene;
C) the “bring out the gimp” scene;
D) the Ezekial speech scene from Jules (“Check out the big brain on Brad!”).
When I think of PF those are the first scenes that pop to mind. It’s also been a year or so since I’ve seen it.
the part where Christopher Walken tells the history of watch.
Damnit! I forgot all about that scene! That is a great one. Thanks mcguffers!
You’re asking for one?
I got four.
Yeah, that’s my problem. I got like, a hundred.
The reason I ask is ’cause I’m taking Stacie up on her fire sale offer over at Final Girl. So I’m getting 3 cards: one with a scene from Aliens, one from Evil Dead/Army of Darkness, and one from Pulp Fiction. I just figured I’d let her draw whatever she wants, since she’s a genius, but she asked what scene from PF I want, and I can’t pick just one.
Thanks for the input though!
”Check out the big brain on Brad!”
Is that where The Ticket got that drop? Hahaha!
(The Ticket plays that quote when they talk to Brad Richards. Or anybody else named Brad. They’re twelve.)
andrew, I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but if it’s a picture, I might pick any of the wide shots of that cool retro diner restaurant they’re in.

sorry to get here late, but i agree completely…and what’s with this crap that he’s *homesick*…exactly how many seasons did he play professional hockey and live away from home?…i hope that santa comes 6 months early and gives us a new coach named Guy Carbonneau and a second line playmaking center with wings named elias and rolston (sorry ookies, i just think he’s better than gionta and really needs linemates not named zubrus or clarkson)
Favorite scene from Pulp Fiction?
Jeez, I’m a little late to the Pulp Fiction party, but for some reason that scene where John Travolta is looking in the mirror telling himself he’ll say good night and go home and jerk off cracked me up. Poor guy, trying to resist temptation like that. LOLS.
Can I just tell you I had a crap day at work and can’t wait to go home and watch hockey with you guys?
Also, worst idea ever – offer to do portraits for people at your day job. How do I know this? I did it. No one likes their photos. I don’t believe that YOU being ugly is MY fault. I can only do so much with Photoshop, okay guys? Seriously. Get me out of here! I’m a celebrity.
