This loss really showed the devils can be taken off their game by a physical team… really need to look into adding a physical wing for the top 9… maybe garland from vancouver or at this point even josh anderson.. the small skill game works but to a point

McLeod has more goals then Meier. What a waste

Yep, Ruff is an idiot and we’re all suffering for it. His use of our snipers is beyond stupid. Idk why tf ownership/management haven’t fired this moron yet.

New city, similar results, same chant from the fanbase.
He is fuel for the argument that anyone could coach NHL players and have a record somewhere near .500
Ruff at home, Lindy on the road!!!

I'm fine with it, he's been good after the first month of the seaosn. But we don't really have another choice if we're going to keep forcing Mercer to play center(which should end btw, he's an awful center).

Also, this morning Ruff confirmed that Timo is still hurt and its an injury that affects his skating. Something he's just trying to play through. Which I dont agree with him doing, i'd rather him sit out and get 100%.

Bring back Cam Janssen…..tough as nails.

He and Marty used to bet who would score more goals in a season lol

Typical devils. Bailing out the Flyers by turning the puck over. Just keep giving them easy goals

I'm so tired of watching Vitek just spit pucks into dangerous areas every single game. You're allowed to control rebounds and cover pucks, holy poop.

I’m going to the game on Sunday. Guaranteed loss

Same lines tonight, with Schmid in net

From TSN.CA "Silver Lining"

The New Jersey Devils are set to have cap space to spend as the team looks to replace the services of injured defenceman Dougie Hamilton.

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports Hamilton is expected to remain sidelined until the playoffs after undergoing surgery on torn pectoral muscle suffered in late November. The timeline should allow the Devils to spend the $9 million in cap space freed with the blueliner on long-term injured reserve.

"Silver lining. They'd obviously much rather have their top defenceman, Dougie Hamilton, in their lineup," LeBrun said Tuesday on Insider Trading. "But, you know, they officially announced after he had surgery for a torn pectoral muscle earlier this month that he'd be out indefinitely. They don't have a firm timeline, but my understanding is that he's probably out until the playoffs, until perhaps late April or early May.

"The flip side to that is it means they have his $9-million cap hit to play with ahead of the March 8 trade deadline. And that's the intention from the New Jersey Devils – is to likely be aggressive if they improve in the standings here. They've already been doing their due diligence on the D market, but they could also potentially add a goalie. They could add a couple players that could help that roster with that $9 million."

Fitzie - Now go get us somebody who can stop the puck on a nightly basis!

Can we put the wooden board up on the net with the 5 holes cut out? That might be better..::

Let me know when a change is made. This team is horrible. Rather watch sex and the city with the wife than this crap

Imo it's time for a coaching change. Doesn't matter if you think Ruff is the problem or not, something needs to change. Let Travis Green run the team the rest of the season, run a new system and structures, and see how it goes.

Told ya

Going Thursday. Another loss incoming

0-2

I’ll be stoked if ruff actually gets fired. I may even rent some billboards outside Fitzy’s office screaming, I (frank)ing told you so!!!

Really (frank)ing sucks Burnette is gone. He should’ve been our next coach.

*Bastian is not on the ice*

Same D with Miller rotating in.
