Apparently Lou Lamoriello and the New Jersey Devils want to forget that the first 35-or-so games of the 2010-11 season even happened. In a move that stacks up well amongst all the other hilarious Devils moments of the last six months, John MacLean received his Christmas present early this year, as Lou handed him his pink slip today and a ticket out of New Jersey. This move shouldn't surprise anyone. The surprising part? The guy who'll be returning to coach the Devils tonight will be last year's coach and well-known old timer Jacques Lemaire, who wasn't even on a plane to New Jersey as of 10:20AM eastern time. Because, you know, the only thing that changed since the Devils lost...
