WATCH LIVE: Sheldon Keefe & Tom Fitzgerald press conference
Streamed live at 11:00 a.m. ET
New Devils Head Coach Sheldon Keefe, Managing Partner David Blitzer and President, Hockey Operations/General Manager Tom Fitzgerald meet with the media.
Now get a few top vet Dmen who do not turn the puck over much. NJ turned the puck over way too much last season, which lead to a lot of goals. Find a way to score first since that was a huge problem last year. Defense was a big problem last year! Also, the mental part of the game was an issue, you could see it on their faces, anguish rather than making the best of the situation and remaining stoic. That distress must be tiring.
Great. Now we need to add veteran shut-down defenseman. Or two. A number one goalie. And, if possible, Brady Tkachuk. Or a centerman with some size. Scoring should not be a problem.
Fitzy you are a clown, nothing you say mean anything. Why is NJ media soft? like wheres the questions attacking him. like why were you so clueless this season, why did you refuse to make moves that would help the team not be pathetic, Why did you single out Holtz when he was better than Mercer etc dont look at stats, Why are you guys so heavily inlove with anatlyics when it told you that you needed a goalie but you do nothing until it was too late, You said you wanted to get more size last year but you again didnt do anything why should we believe you this year, Are you gonna fire Chris taylor and The goalie coach, dont hire anyone of Keefes ex assistants they all suck go after Woodcroft or Campbell for PP coach. Fitzy out of the Gm role, Madigan in

Yeah…good luck with that Devils. I hope you really like getting bounced in the first round because your coach get's out coached.

What a kick in the nuts going from having a great team to an very weak playing team. Although I wish you best of luck it is what it is. Go Devils Go!
Congrats Sheldon… going to do great things in NJ! Love from Toronto
Yeah, one series win in 5 years. Could be blamed more on the players though
Starts at 2:25 *Or 5:25 after photos
Can Dougie not get hurt

Hey, Fitzy go sign:

i've never heard Keefe use words accountability so much. action matches accountability was interesting. i think that speaks volumes.
