And Fitz listens to the analytics geeks like it's the gospel truth. The minute I heard Woodcroft was a numbers geek himself, that was it. This franchise isn't about to hire a throwback disciplinarian. Not their style. Fitz wants a player's coach who meshes with the guys and listens to everything the geeks tell them. He wants Lindy 2.0 but more analytical, and someone who isn't just focused on developing youth.

Most likely and they could even win more than 1 Cup over the next few years with Shesterkin playing this way. He's only 27.

Goodbye Canes. They'll choke this away and get swept. I guess the question is, what team in the West can defeat the Rangers because I fully expect them to coast to the SCF. And if they win the Cup, it's going to be insufferable with their obnoxious fans. If Fitz doesn't get off his ass and right this ship, it'll be downright nauseating the next few years as a Devils fan.

I have a feeling Fitz goes for Woodcroft or Keefe. I don't think he hires Berube. Fitz probably wants a "player's coach" who says he's going to hold people accountable but isn't a throwback hard ass like Berube. Ultimately , I think the analytics geeks will steer Fitz into hiring Woodcroft. With this franchise, they have a tremendous amount of influence.

100%. I don't want any coach who's going to give even more power and influence to the analytics geeks that run this team. Enough already! We need a disciplinarian who's going to get the softies on this team in line and create a sound defensive structure. I can't stomach another year watching Siegenthaler and Marino costing us goals.

Rangers player kicks his leg out and trips a Canes player...no call. Fox hits Guenztel in the face...no call. Guenztel retaliates...Rangers power play. Laviolettte's teams seem to enjoy taking cheap shots and embellish to get calls their way. His Canes teams pioneered the dive and this Rags team is taking embellishment to new heights.

As long as he doesn't do something stupid with the pick like trade it to Calgary for Markstrom.

Good for SJ

You'd have to fire Marty for that to happen because as long as he's in the organization, Rogalski isn't going anywhere.

If Fitz sends our '24 first rounder (top-10 unprotected) to Pittsburgh for Sullivan (I just can't see Dubas letting him walk for nothing while he's under contract), then what chips would we have for a goalie? '25 first rounder + Holtz/Mercer/Casey? Gonna be interesting.

It's a good thing Ovechkin wasn't playing for one of the old Red Army teams, otherwise he'd be sent to Siberia for this performance. His effort was embarrassing.

Rangers fans are angry about this hit on Zibanejad yesterday. Meanwhile, Trouba does to opponents every chance he gets. 🙄 https://twitter.com/i/status/1782152519956717912

The stats geeks run the organization. That's who Fitz and the coaching staff listen to most likely.

Fitz needs to get this team bigger, meaner, and tougher.
