At least they waited until after Christmas. Kinda.

Anyway, I've always kind of liked deboer. I'm sure he'll catch on with another team soon.

Yeah, though, unlike with more traditional jobs, he's still technically employed, he just has no responsibilities. It sucks from an ego POV, but it's not a hit to the pocketbook like it would be for one of us.

That just sounds like a hot mess to me.  But who knows, maybe it's just crazy enough to work!

As usual, DGB nails it:

Kind of want to see Brent Burns get traded to the Devils now just so Oates and Stevens can make him run to the one he loves most.[/quote]

This is amazing:

"Lamoriello" always sounded like it should be an online abbreviation. "Laughing as my only remaining interim employees leisurely laid off"?

I think it sounds like a relatively interesting set-up. Sort of like football with an offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and head coach making the final calls. So long as Oates and Stevens aren't at each others throats I think it could work in the interim.

Except in football the offence and defence aren't on the field at the same time constantly interacting with each other.

Yes, fair point. Hockey is not the exact same as Football.
