Rosey, I'll be honest, I look at what Lemaire has done with the same exact bunch that MacLean had in NJ and think to myself, does a coach make that much of a difference? Obviously it does. Too bad Lou didn't pull the trigger on MacLean earlier because if he had, the Devils probably would've made the playoffs. I've learned to tolerate Trotz. I respect what he's done but like Fisher, I don't think he's the man to take us any further than he has. People always talked up Fisher but if you look at his record and his success or lack thereof in the playoffs, it was time for him to go. What happens is anyone's guess there. What happens to the long term success of the Preds is anyone's guess as well.
And in answer to the original question at hand, it was years ago for me.
