Even if there isn't a permanent replacement, if you're serious about trying to get to the play-offs, you get in a coach until the end of the season. There just aren't any justifiable excuses why Ruff is still in charge.

Should’ve happened at the ASB.  Looks like it’s not going to, until after the season.  I have no idea how any GM could possibly allow 26 more games of this, but then again I have no idea how Fitz has allowed this to go on for this long.  Truly confounding.

Absolutely nothing has changed on the PP except for adding a second dipsh!t to the drop pass slingshot option. Leaving only 3 to get mugged when the carrier tries to enter the zone since, weird, all the defenders are there waiting and laughing.

the speed of this team has been castrated, not even neutralized, because that’s how you beat Ruff. Yet the only person in the hockey world that can see it is Ruff

Every single day that Lindy is allowed to pollute this roster, Fitz is admitting

- it’s ONLY the goalies that are keeping us from the playoffs

- Holtz has no place in the future of this organization.

- Smith is part of the solution/future.

- anyone with the last name Hughes cannot be punished for poor play

- The media is the cause of the power play woes (are you fvcking kidding me?!)

- the fans do not watch the games.

- Timo is a left winger

- Jack needs to learn to play any position in the lineup. He’s not allowed to be in his natural spot.


Most importantly: winning, playoffs and accountability DO NOT MATTER.

Blaming OUR toothless media for the PP is the perfect illustration of how fvcking soft this organization is from top to bottom.

As if the play on the ice isn’t embarrassing enough.

Is Lindy suggesting that his plan was to ignore the PP as a group and talk in small groups to not alarm anyone?    

But because hard hitting Amanda Stein asked about their small PP conversion rate,  the boys are sensitive now to it and playing poorly?

Suggesting? Nope, old man river is outright blaming the rough New Jersey Devils press pool with overwhelming his fragile team to being 2 for 64 in 2024.

This is the coach of an NHL team, mind you, not a poor parent who was voluntold to coach mites on the weekend when all he wanted to do was sip a beer and relax.

Somewhere mfitz is having himself a big-time chuckle.

I gotta admit, as someone who got along with him well, his humor would be welcome right now.

Okay this is pretty funny

That was amazing. 

This team needs someone in charge, either the coach, the GM, or even the owner - maybe all 3 - who is invested and cares as much as we do.  I'm sure Lindy wants to win a Cup because it's eluded him his whole career, but I can't say that the GM and Owners care as much.  You can't say that given what they are willing to put up with and accept, because this is flat our embarrassing and terrible. 

Team is underachieving by a country mile.

Is he serious with this crap?  The same media—with the exception of Ryan—who consistently ask softball questions?  In any event, what the hell does he expect given how poorly the team is playing?  There’s no reason whatsoever why a roster with as much talent as the Devils have should be sitting on the outside looking in with respect to the postseason more than two-thirds of the way through the season.  And they’re getting worse, not better.

Do Lindy and Fitz think the team will suddenly magically play better despite little-to-no adjustments, poorly conceived lineups, and whimsical discipline of two of the team’s better forwards?  Does Fitz really believe loyalty to a friend is more important than him doing his job?  As @Colorado Rockies 1976 has pointed out several times, any other coach in any other organization would’ve been fired by now.

Twenty four years ago next month, a Devils team with the best record in the Eastern Conference fired its head coach because he’d lost the locker room.  As acrimonious as that situation was—I was in high school and remember it vividly—the sh!tshow to which we’ve been subjected this season is worse.  Yet Nero fiddles while his empire burns.

Team needs a good old fashioned mutiny. If Fitz isn’t going to do it, then the players themselves need to turn on Lindy. 

I think they already have rebelled in the way a young team might do it. They’re practically begging for a change with a lot of their uninspired and inconsistent play this season. I wish I had a quarter for every time Ken Daneyko brings up the Devils decision making in their own zone. It’s like a broken record.

We have wasted another season of prime Jack Hughes to give this fvcking clueless fossil the benefit of the doubt

At some point, Fitz is going to have to answer for WHY he continues to stick with Ruff, no matter how discombobulated the Devils look on ice.  Especially when it's become obvious that Lindy is basically completely out of answers.  WHAT Fitz are you seeing that leads you to believe that Lindy's the guy to turn this around?

And WHEN the fvck did you become SO passive?!  You're the guy who went out and brought in Dougie Hamilton and made a nice deal for Timo Meier!  Is your work just done now?!
