NJ Devils A Deep Dive Into The Debacle: Thoughts from Around The World & Analytics To Blame?!?



It’s been a wild and crazy week for the New Jersey Devils and their fans.

Lindy Ruff was fired, Travis Green was promoted to Interim Head Coach, and General Manager Tom Fitzgerald gave one of the saddest Press Conferences in the history of Press Conferences.

Is there more going on behind the scenes with the NJ Devils than meets the eye?!?

I certainly think so.

I analyze all of the rumblings, and highlight some outside views of the tragic 2023-2024 New Jersey Devils team.

#FireFitz forever…

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

  1. 20 Game Winning Streak begins on Thursday against St. Louis. Fitzgerald surprises us all this week before the trade deadline. LGD.šŸ’šŸ˜ˆ

  2. Why are we giving up now? Oh thatā€™s right instead of going to the conference finals and cup finals, weā€™re going to spend the summer in fucking point pleasant beachšŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬! I forgot about that my bad everyone. So is any one of yā€™all going to point pleasant beach to celebrate fitzgarbageā€™s failures at the party?

  3. This team WILL NOT compete with the current defensemen on the team. You could have Marty in his prime in goal and he'd give up 3 goals a game. Marty was great because of great defense, great system and great two-way forwards. Markstrom is too old, small bodied athletic goalies like Saros don't age well and Ullmark has terrible playoff numbers. Without a good option in goal improve the defense

  4. Signing Ruff over Brunette was the BIG mistake. Straight downhill ever since. A fireable offense for Fitz.

  5. Where the f were the analytics that showed how much better Timo was on the right wing? Yes this scares the hell outta me too man. We're gonna turn into the A's of the NHL. Isometrics never won shit. There's a reason I named my son Derek. Grit can't be measured with stats. Fuck hbse

  6. 25 years of watching the devils and i have never been more disappointed in the team than i am with this season. everyone knew we needed a goalie before the season even started, everyone saw how vitek finished the end of the season last year and everyone knew that schmid was too young to really rely on and also saw how he got lit up in the 2nd round of the playoffs. the signs were there, someone somewhere refused to see them. and wether thats fitzy or wether it was the ownership forcing fitzy's hand that is a question that needs to be asked and an explanation is owed to the fans who paid their hard earned money to see this crap shoot of a season. i for one hope fitzy was to blame because if it was the ownership not letting fitzy do his job his way then ownership needs to change, otherwise this team isnt just doomed this season, but for every season to come as long as this group continues doing such things regardless if it was fitzy pulling the strings or if it was the ownership. but it is a question that should be asked.

  7. Thanks for mentioning the pre game comment from Fitzgerald yesterday. I brought it up on your previous video. Analytics killed our season along with apparent GM meddling in day to day roster moves. Also Fitzgerald is failing in fashion. He is the worse dressed executive I've ever seenšŸ˜‚

  8. "Baby shit soft," describes it. A team of boys in a league of men. No faith in Fitzy going forward. If Fitz is the guy who put Holtz in the doghouse and Timo on the left wing (well, the analytics say) then he has to go…like yesterday.

  9. Seems good players get away from them like Henrique, Palmeri, Parise, Zacha, etc who go on to do well else where….

  10. when a GM and President of Hockey Operation is one person it is obvious he runs the show. Thats how tyranny is born

  11. This has quickly become my go-to channel for Devils info / commentary. Keep up the great work Runnin!
