Here's a real head-scratcher out of New Jersey, as the Devils have fired coach Claude Julein with the team in first place and the playoffs starting next week. GM Lou Lamoriello is taking the helm for the Cup run.
Yes, they did something similar when they axed Robbie Ftorek late in the season before winning the 2000 Cup, but I'm guessing this wasn't Lou's plan all along...

It has been brewing over the last few weeks....this may center in on Gomez actually. Julien had a laissez-faire attitude that rubbed off on Gomez a little too much and he really was getting way too predictable. I wish Lou had done it then....but he did it...now its time to let it ride.
