    Holtz's face when asked about his current role in the lineup is pretty telling

    practice was good, energy was good, mood was good, everything was good. It is just results that are shit🤣 Holz must request a trade if he wants keep developing

    Can we get rid of Lindy Ruff already? Fitz never should have brought him back for the 22-23 season and they never should have let Brunette walk. I F'ing HATE Lindy Ruff. Watching him ruin a talented prospect like Holtz for the second year in a row is turning me off on the whole team.
    I can't wait till he is #2 on the all time losses in NHL History.

    When talking about Holtz ice time ….why doesn't anyone of these reporters push back on Ruff when he says "you want more ice time, don't get scored on," Correct me if I am wrong but the caps scored two other goals…Palat was a -2 and Meier was a -2 and took a penalty but Holtz is singled out and has his time Throttled? When will someone get the balls to ask Ruff to explain to the fans why he hates Holtz…because the majority of us don't see what is so wrong with him. I would rather have Holtz than Ruff.

    I told you so many times the only thing those swedes can do is: catch and eat SWEDISH FISH, so the NJ Devils need to implement a "catch and release to the AHL" with Holtz. Skating pretty with no puck on stick skill does NOT W games!
    Nemec and Tyce Thompson should have been brought to the NHL level from the beginning of the season. You healthly scratch Lazar for Holtz told me the incompetence level of the management of this team, and shame on Fitz and Broduer for NOT improving the weak G situation in the off season, VV was never a starting G he was brought in to groom and mentor the 2 stellar rookie G's we have: Daws and the kid Schmid.
    Go back to the lines that have had chemistry, you are mixing things up TOO MUCH and Ruff is creating more of a mess!!
    Line 1 Bratt, McCloud (rotating with Bastin 4th and 1st lines) and Mercer.
    Line 2 Meier, Haula and Lazar (rotating Lazar on 2nd and 3rd lines.
    Line 3 Palat, Haula (rotating with Tierney at C) and Lazar (this is the 3rd line lethal excution D & O game)
    4th Line Tyce Thompson, McCloud and Bastin.
    D lines need improvement and Dougie needs a new linemate to put some energy into his skates; he has been skating lazy, sloppy and incompetent on his assignments.
    Finally put the kid Schmid in the G; he can't get the "rust" off his glove, stick and skates if he isn't playing on a consistant basis.
    Hire Jack Campbell on a 1yr one way contract at the G for replenishment grooming for the kid Schmid, because the learning curve and experiment is over with VV.
