I don't know where to put this but Sportscenter had Ennis' goal against Montreal as the 2nd best sports play of 2014 (behind ODB's catch)

 

Link?

The tele.

 

That's so 2004. No online video yet? I've been looking. I guess the skeptic in means keeps thinking it's the Canadian version of ESPN or something. Since when does ESPN care about hockey?

Bucci probably had something to do with it. Ovi's goal was pretty high, too. Tarasenko's goal wasn't in the top 50, though.

So Lou is overseeing things temporarily and the Stevens/Oats will co-coach. Ladies and gentlemen, the Devils are in full tank mode.

 

Lou has pulled this stunt before. He didn't tank last time. Then again, he was fighting for a playoff spot and not a draft position. Jagr won't let him tank. If they truly want to tank, they should give Schneider a rest.

Was it a flat structure like this last time? I know he went behind the bench before, but this setup seems unprecedented.

If by flat you mean GM/coach, yes it was the same. He assumed all control.

I mean flat from a purely coaching perspective. The tweets I read made it sound like Stevens is exclusively defense, Oates is exclusively forwards, and Lou is temporarily overseeing things. The way I read it, he doesn't even plan on staying on the bench the full season, so you'd end up a with two coaches splitting duties, but no head man.

I believe that is a unique work arrangement and uniquely unworkable work arrangement

Yea, the whole thing just seems insane. It's also possible I interpreted it wrong, because I can't see Lamoriello doing something this crazy.

 

Edit: apparently I had it right. Here's the puck daddy story: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nj-devils-name-adam-oates--scott-stevens-as-sorta-head-coaches-163609783.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory&soc_trk=tw
