I’ve said it before but surely Lou is injured? It’s the only sane explanation for scratching him and playing Pietroniro as his D replacement, and then keeping Reid in the line up, who has consistently offered nothing all season. If you’re right that Lou is fit, it’s an utter disgrace that he’s being sidelined - and clearly shows that DuPont doesn’t have the balls to drop the big names, already demonstrated when he ridiculously did the same to Brandt.
Reading the posts above, I agree with some of the comments about this season being boring. I can accept watching us lose at home providing that we have gone down fighting, to the last bullet so to speak. But too many times this season it has been so frustrating watching mediocre to poor performances by individual players and even worse by the team as a whole.
Based on the recruitment of the team for this season we are a mid table team and we are currently punching slightly above our weight because teams like Nottingham are in an even worse state of mediocrity than we are.
It does seem strange to me but I am just wanting this season to end, it has by and large been very underwhelming and worse, not entertaining. All too often the games have been poor to watch with plenty of poor performances by the team who have generally been win one, lose one. This team is not good enough to win consistently with a real lack of leaders and true Devil players who leave it all out on the ice game in, game out. Those players moved on with only a couple of leaders amongst a generally bland and boring Devils lineup this year.
It's been really noticeable to me that after many years of watching the Devils as a ST holder, this year has been very frustrating to go through and too many times it has become almost a chore to make the effort to get to a home game. This team is just plain boring with very little character. As a ST holder I don't expect to win all the time, but I do expect to be entertained and that sadly has been missing too often this year. I am struggling to understand the direction of the Devils at the moment and based on what I have watched over the last 2 seasons, I am not going to renew my ST next season. Still, at least TK gets to run around the arena dressed as Super Mario.........important that.

It was common knowledge and quite clear from watching him for any period of time that he was in great pain.
I also think that linking the player and the coach is conflating two separate issues. Criticism of a player clearly injured strikes me as unfair, criticism of a coach (assuming it is constructive) is fair enough.
