@angryirishmac @daniel_amoia Then they shouldn’t have benched anyone else but they did. Or have you forgotten?

@SueNJ97 @daniel_amoia A one game benching would be solved all the problems.
English
Sunny Mehta makes the right call in letting #NJDevils HC Sheldon Keefe stay.
Keefe has not yet been handed a deep enough roster. A coach can only work with what they have.
English
@angryirishmac @daniel_amoia Then maybe he’d actually figure out that you can’t break out in front of your own net with the puck because nothing else has helped. And the team was terrible. Replacing him for one game wouldn’t have made them worse.
Once again, have you forgotten the season we just watched?
English
@SueNJ97 @daniel_amoia Watch what? What would he be watching? Watching a guy who is not an nhl player play that spot making the team worse. Punitive benching that’s it. Would’ve made the fans feel better but serves no purpose.
English
@angryirishmac @daniel_amoia The team was in the middle of a horrendous streak. Answer me this: taking him out makes them that much worse than the way they were playing? Have you forgotten the season we just watched?
English
@SueNJ97 @daniel_amoia Bench him for who? Answer that first. What’s the point to teach him a lesson and make the team worse? Players are always breaking out crossing the in front of the goalie. Then if they weren’t in the awful streak it would’ve been ok?
English
@angryirishmac @daniel_amoia People (it isn’t just me) wanted one game for LH to have him watch. Not a week. One game. Keefe said he was too fragile to handle it.
English
@SueNJ97 @daniel_amoia How many turnovers or bad players or bad passes? Has Jack made that cost goals in games? You need to take the good with the bed nobody’s a calling the bench Jack.
English
@angryirishmac @daniel_amoia He breaks out by crossing in front of his own net a lot. Do you think opposing teams don’t notice? When he turns it over that’s a mistake. They were in a horrendous streak. Keefe could have sat him, but with NJ some players are held to account, some never are. It doesn’t change.
English
@SueNJ97 @daniel_amoia You bench a guy for lazy play you bench a guy because he takes bad penalties. You bench a guy because you have better guys. You don’t bench a guy because of two mistakes in a game especially a guy you need playing for you.
English
@angryirishmac @daniel_amoia Luke put the puck into his own net twice in one game and Keefe said he couldn’t be benched for a single game. Not one. If he were anyone else he would have sat and they would work with him to stop him from breaking out with the puck across the front of his own net.
English
@SueNJ97 @daniel_amoia Luke is better than nemec and that gets him more slack. Nemec had plenty of opportunities.
English
@NorskeMagnusP @BizNasty2point0 I once worked for the late Max Muhleman (he helped bring the NBA & NFL to Charlotte). He urged the NHL to use a fire engine red puck so it would be easier to see. They told him it would confuse the players.
English
Maybe alt broadcasts with the glowing puck for beginners? What’s the answer to helping newbies?

I enjoy watching hockey, but this sport will never gain the mainstream popularity it so desperately desires when people watching on TV cant see/tell when the teams score.
English
@DevilsOfYore @TomGulittiNHL I was at this game. NJ scored early in each period. We looked at the shot clock in the 3rd and said, “Only six?”, they often undercounted shots at the Meadowlands. But NJ throttled the Leafs who seemed disinterested at best.
English
Petr Sykora scored 18 seconds into Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals vs. the Maple Leafs on May 8, 2000. The #NJDevils would go on win the game, 3-0, & clinch the series. Martin Brodeur made 6 saves—6 SAVES!—for the shutout.
English
@wyshynski @Steve_Dangle @PeteBlackburn Greg, what does it say about Fitzgerald that he hid from the NJ media for months and only had a press conference when what media there is started trying to go to ownership to get answers?
English
@Steve_Dangle @PeteBlackburn Specifically, yes.
Regarding the markets, which is really the point, absolutely not.
English
NJ Media to Sunny Mehta: Do you still have that dope Starter jacket from when you grew up as a Devils fan?
TOR Media to John Chayka: Everyone says you're a con man and a liar, thoughts?
Can't imagine why some career decisions are made ...
English
@wyshynski @PeteBlackburn The way Simmons asked the question wasn’t professional. But I don’t think anyone would been calling Mehta a con man in Toronto. They would have questioned whether he was prepared to take on the entire GM job and deal with the Toronto media, etc. But not his ethics.
English
@AlexC_NJD Shanahan spent years running back something that didn’t work in Toronto. If NJ wants someone who is going to make significant changes I’m not sure he’s your guy. Once he had a core in place he wouldn’t move off it.
English
Would imagine Brendan Shanahan is going to get a hard look as Pres of Hockey Ops for the #NJDevils if ownership wants a POHO.
Sunny Mehta, Jason Spezza and perhaps John Chayka as GM candidates, but there will be plenty more.
English
@TheBrattPack63 How did he go to the Crash Davis School of Sports Cliches in Sweden?
English
Would probably just be an hour of silence and the occasional “obviously we just want to play our game and feels good to win the game”
English
@Steve_Dangle I think it goes beyond firing Parros. Suspensions and fines for on-ice behavior can’t go through the league anymore, there has to be an independent body (not the league, not the union), that does it. The league can suspend for off- ice behavior.
English
Yeah you gotta fire Parros *now*. If that hit is a phone hearing, nothing is an in-person hearing. What are we doing here.
Chris Johnston@reporterchris
AJ Greer will have a phone hearing with @NHLPlayerSafety for boarding Connor Zary
English
Serious question: Why are you still watching the 2025-26 #NJDevils?
English
@ryannovoNHL They don’t get this kind of coverage when they make the playoffs.
English
@BostonSatire Decades ago, you didn’t face an excruciating primary process that tears apart your life and your family. As it has become more lengthy and intrusive, many candidates who might have run before aren’t going to go near it. Many won’t even go into public service now.
English
I also think that for 40 years, the American model has been that voters get solidarity on their preferred flavor of culture war issue in exchange for accepting the neoliberal/neocon DC consensus. The DC consensus is now the thing voters hate, and officials don’t know what to do
English
Yup. I’d like to read an academic paper on why the quality of our candidates is uniformly awful now. There are plenty of talented people who would be great leaders, but none of them can/will make it to elections. Somehow the worst candidates are always the options.
U. Perkins, Sr.@JustAFamilyMan_
You can just feel that that the zeitgeist is up for grabs. Trump has lost it. Obama once had it. Now the U.S. is just aimless.
English
@Bradfle01956912 @espn His father got a job with the Leafs. He didn’t leave his family behind. When Jack Hughes was drafted he was playing for the U.S. National Development Team. His family had moved back to Michigan. If he’d wanted to play Juniors in Canada, wouldn’t he have stayed?
English
@espn Same guy fled the states to play minor hockey in Canada.
English
@shaynagoldman_ I worry that if there isn’t more competition in Women’s hockey it will be in trouble as an Olympic sport. I was so glad to see the Swiss medal this time and quality of their goaltending.
