Devils Coach Made The Decision To Not Dress Kovlachuk

from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,

MacLean would not reveal the specifics behind the decision to sit Kovalchuk, but said it was his decision and no one else’s.

“That’s between him and I,” MacLean said. “That was my decision.”

When asked if it was his decision or management’s decision, MacLean, said “No, it was my decision.”

MacLean said he did not regret that decision, which he made “probably mid-day.”

“I take responsibility for all my decisions that I make. That’s including that decision and including responsibility for games.”

He may have won this battle but he won’t win this war, unless Lou agreed with it.  Vanderbeek signed this guy to sell tickets as a player not in the box office.  This is a puzzler, if he’s fighting with him on his own Robinson will be behind the bench in a couple of weeks.

Lou had to agree with it, they called up a player to fill out the lineup
