Stick a Ftorek in Julien
I'm not surprised to see this at all. I am pretty sure I didn't put Julien in my Coaching Deadpool's last edition (I'll double check that), but there is something wrong with this year's Devils, something that it's hard to put a finger on.
Lou did a decent job coaching, and it's pretty much his team to begin with. And let's not forget that this ploy worked in 2000. (Admittedly with a much stronger team.)
Update: Julien was in the last Coaching Deadpool.
Update 2: So what do I think of this? Obviously, I've had my suspicions that this was coming, and I've had a general feeling that there was something off about this edition, as I said above. If this was it, then great, they're just in time. Honestly, it's been my opinion that the Devils do better on the road in the playoffs (Brodeur's statement about game 7s in the finals, which they often avoid by winning in less than 7.) Dunno. We'll see.
