  1. Team not making the playoffs again. Fitz was too close to the players. He was their friend instead of their boss. He needed to go. Markstrom extension was a perfect example of a stupid move. Drafting has been terrible also over the years. Goodbye Fitz, maybe someone will be held accountable for poor play.

  2. Fitz the dumb Ditz got paid millions and didn't know what he was doing. Sad that i could have done a better job than him

  3. I don't like how Nico answered that last question. (7:55) Would have rather heard something like looking forward to working with whomever comes in.

  4. Gotta have a good year next year. The fate of this core relies on it. If we don’t, nico leaves and we go back to a rebuild. Bring in a guy like sunny mehta or tyler dellow. Retool this offseason. Win next year.

  5. Devils have a lot of talent, and should be poised to make the next step to becoming an elite team in yhe NHL. The large swings in their inconsistency has not allowed this to happen. Hoping the next GM has an answer to that issue, and hope it doesn't involve blowing up the team. I have no patience for a rebuild.

  6. POHO: B.Shanahan
    GM: Sunny Mehta
    HC: Bruce Cassidy

    Sunny Mehta had a lot to do with this core as well so it should cut down some of that feeling of dread from the players thinking there is no longer belief in them.

  7. People who think Nico is leaving….. Everyone answers the "will you extend?" question that way. These guys are literally trained not to answer that question directly until things are set.

  8. too bad, no more country club guys
    hopefully the new gm is trading the Hughes brass and bratter as long as they have some value – and Nico is gone after next season as it sounds…

  9. Fitz needed to get the Quinn deal done .That cost him his job. Billy G found a way. Fitzgerald made plenty of other blunders as well. Palat being an obvious overpay.

  10. Bratters comment of ā€œgetting our identity the last five gamesā€ is very telling. Seems like the restraints have been off recently from the view from the stands and Im gonna say Bratter confirmed what the eye test was showing.
    Also Nico was almost smirking at the extension question, went to the canned response he’s rehearsed with his agent.

  11. Nico, please don't do this we love you here and we don't want you to leave. Please come to your senses and resign with us and continue to be captain of this team, this team needs you Nico it needs its captain to lead us to victory.

  12. Keefe – "How our season led to this" – two seasons dude… two seasons… you dont get credit for limping into the playoffs and being gentleman swept
