Idk how any of you can root for Boston
"rooting" is a strong word. They're both on fire and I gotta piss somewhere.

Buff hiring Ruff means they are out on everyone else that might be available and I am down for that.

We should NOT have been allowing our star players to play through injuries for a sh!t season like this one
Yea, agree. Would rather them have been healing.

I don't think there's a single Devils fan who would be on board with Green getting the job. Literally NO ONE.
I saw someone supporting the idea on YouTube but, to be fair, they didn't say they were a Devils fan lol.

NJ lost to WAS every game so no room to talk, but Rags got gifted the second round.

Ullmark is a beneficiary of being on Boston and I don't see him being nearly as dominant without a strong coach, responsible D play, and system around him.

What I hate about some of Fitz's recent quotes is that almost from the BEGINNING he clearly didn't like some things that he saw, but the way to deal with all of that was to...do next to nothing?! At the very least, I would've shortened Lindy's leash considerably if I had observed that from the same first-hand perspective that Fitz had. If you see patterns developing that you don't like, here's a crazy idea...maybe ADDRESS IT?! I know Lou is past his prime and I wouldn't want him back, but think if he saw the same sh!t, that any of that would've flown under his watch? No fvcking way.
Anyway, goes back to the same thing at this point...it's all about the actions now. That's why I'm trying not to make TOO much of these quotes for now. But they're not making Fitz look great at the moment.
Remember when he said something like, "hoping and praying for things to get better isn't a plan" or something like that around when he fired Lindy? That's what he was doing... Hoping and praying things would get better. That was his response to all these things. Really odd he would continue to place trust in people that were not performing up to the standard that was expected.

That is infuriating, but it’s over. Now it’s about how sh!t is handled moving forward. I hope a lot of hard lessons were learned by all this season. Now find us a real coach Fitz.
Sure, I'm trying, but really no wonder why injuries fvcked this team so badly now. Everyone looked at the guy to their left to be the one to step up when sh!t got tough until the guy to their left was the janitor and the last dude just shrugged his shoulders. Makes me wonder why NJ are paying Palat 6m a year for him to play show and tell with his championship rings.
I really am starting to sound like some of the doomers around here but it's hard when we take so many Ls. I get it.

He checks a lot of boxes, ya know? Let's hope he checks the one on his unemployment form about able and looking for work.

I am once again finding myself annoyed with Fitz. He's loosely implying he was too lax this year, he let the guys get complacent, and even that they weren't conditioned very well. This after people here also mentioned that he said to STH that he wasn't happy with the practices. Wtf happened with this team this year? It's like there was a mixture of not caring enough, expecting it to just be easy, and not holding anyone accountable... And even when it wasn't coming easy nothing changed apparently and that's why we are talking about it now?

20 years in the can, I wanted Andrew Brunette as coach.
I compromised. I got Lindy Ruff and Travis Green.
I wanted to drink champagne out of the Stanley Cup.
I compromised.
I got a Mackenzie Blackwood bobblehead.
You see where I'm goin here?

The 2003 draft class was the first one I really followed when I started getting into hockey and I, of course, followed Parise the most. End of an era... And it makes me feel old.

This is just choosing to put a negative spin on it.
You could also say that Mercer was a 20 goal scorer even in a down season. Holtz scored 16 goals despite being buried on the 4th line most of the year. And Casey was just days ago named First Team All-American.
This is pretty on brand for Titans04.

If Nichushkin can still play I'm not surprised with anything anymore.

I'm not expecting a new coach until late June at the earliest, but this staff (minus Sarge) needs to go ASAP.
Maybe I'm cynical but I doubt we'll get that in an official announcement. I expect him to allow Greene to interview even if he never intends to hire him as a professional courtesy.

If there is no coaching change announcement by Friday I'm going to start being extremely worried. Fitz has lost ALL benefit of the doubt.
I doubt that will happen. He's got time and he's going to use it. I don't expect an announcement until the draft or just after the draft at the earliest.

According to Matt and Chico, Fitz met with a gathering of season ticket holders and admitted that even early in the season, he knew there was a chance the Devils would struggle for most of the year, as there were too many defensive breakdowns, and practices weren’t as intense as he’d have preferred. What I can’t understand is why, if he saw things he didn’t like, he waited so long to make any changes. I hope he’s learned something.
Lol... So he knew the ship was sinking and didn't do sh!t. He just let us all go down with it.

If Fitz keeps Green and/or re-signs Smith, then I’m gonna find it real hard to believe that he’s gonna turn things around. Really nope neither of these moves happens. It will feel like the 2024-25 is already off to a bad start.
If Fitz did that I might actually boycott the season. Nothing about what Green did here while he was gone indicated he deserves any shot at being the guy. He put Timo back to where he needs to be, other than that we could have stuck with Lindy until the end.

Lets go Ottawa!
Not sure why I expected a team that can't help themselves to help us out.

An extremely disappointing season, but I still believe in this team’s core (Jack, Nico, Jesper, Timo, and Dougie) and youngsters (Luke and Simon) and hope that with better coaching, goaltending, and defense, the Devils can bounce back.
Good coaching can take a team much farther than it should be. The front office has to find the right guy. Really no room for error now.

Best fit or are they actually trying to hire him? Sounds like fit with NJ but Ottawa has actually called.
