Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain

Deking Devils

Another week has come and gone with not much else to report on as it pertains to the New Jersey Devils. Of course the week had started promising with another hearty round of rumor mongering and speculation gone wild.

Many, including myself, believed it was a forgone conclusion that Lou Lamoriello was finally on the verge of dusting off the old vocal chords to triumphantly announce the much anticipated coaching replacement for Jacques Lemaire.

But, instead we were all force fed a big fat piece of nothing pie. Not a peep, not a hint not even a glimmer of a hint. Just more silence. That is if you can block out the every increasing sounds of fans everywhere anxiously tapping their toes in frustration, growing steadily more impatient with ever tick of the clock that passes without any news worthy morsels.

Alas, I implore all thee nay sayers to remain steadfast and trust in the great and wise GM of Jersey. For it is he that ultimately knows what’s best for the Devils. Take solace in the fact that when there finally is news to report it will be both satisfying and fulfilling. It will address many of the concerns plaguing our beloved team and it will be done in a manner none of us could have imagined.

So as another week approaches remain vigilant and confident because we do have a true wizard working for us behind the scenes and sometimes it’s just better not to pay any attention to the man behind the curtain.
