Hopefully this isn’t rinse and repeat.
Arrivederci Ruff.
I like him but business is business.
You just replied to my comment on the other video regarding the extra skater, props for staying active. I appreciate your content even though I just discovered it (as a kings fan, I wont be as active as others here). Just want to say don't throw away the season just yet. We all know anything can happen in hockey. Look at edmonton, canucks (they are on a losing streak), etc.
2nd to last in the NHL in terms of save percentage.
This is what happens when a GOOD team can't get a save.
Ownership is out of touch with the reality of the situation IMO.
Maybe Fitzgerald is handcuffed by his overlords?!
Travis Greene is not your guy IMHO.
Kind Regards

As another possible factor — how much do you think maybe there was season tickets holders revolt and pressure put on HBSE ?
Fan of passion. Good vid
FINALLY This was overdue,time to make changes and build a cup team, Finally Holtz is free! Keep up the content brother your killing it
Step 1 complete, but roster still needs lots of work to be able to get to the playoffs and even more work to play the heavy hockey it takes to go far in the playoffs.
It had to be done. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late.
Big move and im really hoping that fitz isnt just doing this to make himself look good. Green is a little younger and hopefully he can catch the boys attention. Sucks that this too little too late
Too much talent to not win more. I like Ruff but I guess he had to go. Rough season. LGD
LGD.
Whoops whoo whoo whoo I got the style and profile like never before! I can’t help it that i look good smell good whoo! And that’s all i want! Who whoo whoo whoo to be the man you gotta beat man and I said whoo! Right here show time whoo! Ric flair montage Na na na na. Na na na na. Hey hey hey goodbye. Na na na na. Na na na na. Hey hey hey goodbye 👋 goodbye song. MAKE SOME NOISE!
lol. Like this makes the team better. Oh well.
You are my 'go to' guy, right now. I couldn't agree more. Good riddance Ruff!
Fitz firing is a knee jerk reaction. He’s been great overall and probably didn’t wanna trade the house for a aged goalie. We wouldn’t have the roster we have right now without fitz
A month or more too late for this year.
Now will the GM be let go? He did not get Ruff any support with goaltending and a baby age defense line.
I don’t agree with the fitz hate as much but respect your opinion regardless
Now we can evaluate the players correctly. Couldn't do it with Lindy. Fitzy blew it when he picked Lindy over Brunette. It's been ALL downhill since then. The players knew that was a mistake and they've played like it.
Lindy is probably still here if Fitz got a goalie when he was supposed to tbh. But he obviously had his flaws as well that many of us resented him for. The move is a little too late for the team this year, hope Fitz doesn't f up the TDL and crucial off-season for us. Berube would be my first choice, but there's a lot of options I like over Travis Green for 24-25.
Back to back shutouts by the Utica goalies over the weekend- maybe cycle one or both in – send down Daws?
A necessary change regardless of the fact that we need a goalie and the mistakes Fitz is making. Just so many egregious decisions like playing a rookie goalie who just had hip surgery over and over, refusing to bench Luke, Bahl, and Nemec when they are making mistakes over and over and are clearly GASSED. Zero emotion whatsoever on the bench looking like he's watching squirrels. Blaming media for a bad power play. I could go on and on, and I respect Lindy as a person, but not as a coach. He completely lost the locker room, and we need someone who inspires the team to play inspired hockey not whatever the hell we've seen seasoned into this year. Green is not the answer though he was brought in to help the PP and man it's sucked. We need a Berube or a Woodcroft down the line. Or Sarge. Hell put Salvador in.
I like McLellan for his structure and discipline. I also like Woodcraft for running an Uber-talented offensive system before and lethal pp. Berube is my first choice. Definitely disappointed we let Bruno get away from us, though. Don't know if Quenneville would be the right fit coming off of reinstatement from a scandal when we're recovering from off ice issues as well, but his resume obviously speaks for itself. There's options, and I think there will be a lot of ppl that WANT to coach this team too.
I thought the season was over when McCleod left the team . The team losing 2 Dmen in the off season was bound to hurt this team . With lousy goaltending & injuries seriously killed this team & regression from both Marino & Segenthauler ! Major distraction when McCleod left
Well said!
Nico didn't play bad, d did
HALLELUJAH 😊
I thought he may after that la game but when I saw it officially just now I was like wow…they actually did it.
Cheers and beers
Bring in and hire Mitch Love
about time bye bye lindy we wont miss ya in jersey
Despite making the playoffs last season!! The worst thing that could've happened was 4 them 2 win the series against NYR after being down 0-2 which saw them being outplayed & outclassed at both ends of the ice. What that series ended up doing was giving the organization as a whole a false sense of belief in the same group that they were good enough 2 take the next step ignoring the flaws on the roster & not doing anything 2 address it especially on D & in net.
do you think we will still bring in a goalie before friday?
This was a long time coming. Not his fault that we lost Severson and Graves last summer. Not his fault that we lost Dougie so early in the season. Not his fault that we've had so many injuries this season. Certainly not his fault that our goalies just can't get the job done. But, like you said, he is to blame for his horrible line combos and overplaying of Daws. He's to blame for when we would pull our goalie (so often and so early) and then we'd get scored on, he'd keep the net open sometimes, leading us to give up an additional goal or two?!?!? He clearly lost the locker room a loooonggg time ago and he just couldn't bring the energy that this team needed. Wish Lindy the best, but this needed to happen.
Travis Green gonna play goal? (Also: this guy’s videos are great.)
Is there a better Devils show than this?…..no chance.
Just tells it as it is.
Yay! Lindy Ruff was a bad boy since he caused our team to lose too much. Causing opponents to cheat. Still might not make it to playoffs but we'll see.
It had to happen. Leading up to the outdoor game they were starting to look better and they had a real chance to turn the season around right there. The loss to Washington and the ass-whupping they took from the Rangers were the nails in Lindy's coffin, imo. I still don't think this will save the season, but I'll be happy if I'm wrong and they finally go on a win streak.
Devils did a chant last year SORRY LINDY or something like that 😂😂and now these comments are happy he’s gone whata joke fanbase 😂😂😂.
I did not want Ruff gone. The issue was/is the defense and goaltending. Fitzpatrick should have been fired
