I still don't think this is 100% on Ruff, though he is the coach so he shoulders most of it. They play out there for long stretches like they have no pride. It's just awful. This is the NHL, you take even a single shift off the chances are you are going to pay. Why is it so hard to get a 60 min effort out of this group? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or coming out with some fire and not flat. And I don’t put it all on Ruff. He was handed Nas and Recchi and that’s gotta be hard. But he’s gotta figure out how to get this team ready to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruff could have made changes but he chose not to. I can see giving Recchi a chance after the Covid season, but Nass I don't get and Recchi is also wearing(worn) out his good faith. I'd say Ruff should do something, if not this year then the next, but at this rate he might not be around either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 We have shipped 18 goals in three games. The team still cannot put together a full 60 minutes. Something needs to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Fitz talked about keeping Nas and hiring Recchi, it sounded like an organizational decision and not Ruff’s. Ruff may not be allowed to fire anyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devs3cups Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) This team’s problem isn’t offense, they’ve shown they can score goals, and if I’m not mistaken, are middle of the pack in GF/G with an ATROCIOUS PP. With even a mediocre PP we might be top 10 in GF/G in the league. The PK has gotten better, but the point still stands: this team’s problem is defense. They’re careless with the puck and with their defensive zone coverage, and give up way too many high danger chances which then hurts the goaltending. I don’t care who is in net, making stops against so many high danger chances is extremely improbable. Scoring 4 last night was sufficient to win us the game. Defense killed us again.

MadDog2020 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It’s almost 10 AM and Alain Nasreddine is still employed by the New Jersey Devils. Unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 This is absolutely a Fitz problem, the D is still terrible and they have too many of the same type of player. It's a coach problem. Not one time has he thrown a big guy out there on the PP with the sole purpose of standing in front of the goalie. Hell, there was a time when the Devils had Stevens up front on the PP just to do it. Graves is a big guy throw him out there. It's a player problem. They all look like they're playing the ladies game. As soon as the Devils scored that 4th goal Winnipeg got pissed and started hitting the sh!t out of them. Jack nearly got decapitated. The Devils superstar coming back from a long injury almost lost his head and they didn't even respond. This team is a joke! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has a habit of starting out fast, looking pretty good, showing fire, standing up for each other, etc. And then it just…. Stops. Every. Year. I just don’t get it.

Devilsfan118 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 It does feel like the season is slipping (or has already slipped) away. Meaningful hockey in Jan 2022 might be off the table already. Unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, the first 3 goals were a result of abysmal defense. No matter who's in net, giving up this many high danger chances is not viable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the margin for error is getting smaller and smaller. They need to stop the bleeding. Edited December 4, 2021 by MadDog2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
