<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Takeaways from reading various reporting after last nights game.
1. Lindy out of answers
2. Team attitude needs a change
3. Physical play gets in their heads
-----
This kind of wowed me a bit. I know Novo and Lindy had butted heads a few times this year, but Novo is about one step away from joining the “Fire Lindy” chants (and I view him as a pretty responsible reporter).
<a href="https://www.nj.com/devils/2024/02/devils-lindy-ruff-out-of-answers-after-another-unacceptable-loss-to-rangers.html?outputType=amp" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Ryan Novozinsky</a> Piece this morning.
Devils’ Lindy Ruff out of answers after another unacceptable loss to Rangers
The faint chants started late in the third period, only to be quickly outdone by the thousands of rival fans shrieking in joy as Vincent Trocheck potted his goal to make it 5-0 Rangers at Prudential Center on Thursday night.
“Fire Lindy! Fire Lindy!”
They weren’t nearly as loud as last year’s rendition, but the gaggle of remaining Devils fans had seen enough – and they let their coach hear it.
Lindy Ruff’s Devils, now 28-24-4 in a season that began with Stanley Cup dreams, fell to their Hudson River foes, 5-1, dropping their second straight game and three of their last four contests in the process.
They may have out-shot New York 40-18 and dominated possession metrics, but the team’s lack of preparedness – especially on special teams – and their lagging physical edge remains an issue in the season from hell. With 26 games to go – and the Devils now five points out of a playoff spot – Ruff and Co. can’t afford only moral victories.
The Devils power play laid another goose egg despite 11:52 minutes (!!!) with an extra attacker on five total opportunities. Ruff and Travis Green’s man-advantage unit is now 2-for-46 in its last 14 games. Aside from bodies returning from injury and the Dawson Mercer-Jesper Bratt swap tonight, Ruff has done little to fix things.
Pressed on this after the game, Ruff said he’s working with his staff on better options – and said reporters were creating “excess pressure” by asking players about the lifeless unit.
“I imagine you’ve asked every player – now they’re feeling it and you guys are creating excess pressure,” Ruff told reporters. “Us as a staff will go through that power play. We change things up, we met with individual groups tonight – as opposed to when you meet with all 10 or 11 of your guys. We’ll go through the whole thing again and just try to get better.”
One question later, Ruff stormed off, answering just nine questions despite the myriad issues facing his team.
Perhaps it’s a sign: Maybe the 64-year-old coach, who, to his credit, helped surge players like Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Dougie Hamilton and others to career years last season, is out of answers in a season marred by inconsistencies, injuries and another goalie disaster.
The Devils still have talent. There’s no doubt about that. They’re sixth in expected goals percentage (53.28%), seventh in five-on-five scoring (122) and fifth in Corsi (53.16%). They finished with 92 shot attempts in Thursday’s game alone.
If this season is a wash (and we may know that answer after this weekend’s back-to-back) GM Tom Fitzgerald needs to start thinking about the future. Maybe the coach who waited until the All-Star break to tweak his defensive scheme and has barely touched his power play amid a brutal cold stretch isn’t the one to guide the Hughes brothers through their respective primes.
There’s still a great team somewhere in these Devils. They might just need a fresh voice to unlock it.
-----
Also, worth reading Jack Hughes comments after the game. He is holding himself accountable, but also calling out whole team ‘attitude’
“No, I’m obviously not playing my best. You know, I’ve got to find a way to get to that point and help us make a push. We just gotta we gotta regroup. We gotta digest tonight. And then we gotta wrap our heads around changing our attitude and really believing in ourselves and not just talking and saying that but actually doing that.”
-----
Luke after game basically acknowledged that their physicality got into their heads a little and knocked them off their game.
“Next game mentality. Everyone knows tonight wasn't a good game. We have to come back, do our jobs and look forward to Montreal. We need to win that game. Rivalry game. They were very physical. We weren't good enough. That's kind of it. We have to limit the mistakes. That's basically it."</div></div>
Ruff cut the presser short when it got back to Ryan. Novo is not wrong, let's face it. This team has only scored the opening goal 15 out of 55. I said Rempe would be a factor and he would come out just like that. How come Ruff didnt get them ready for that? We turtled. I read somewhere that Kreider taunted Daws after a goal. Tired of Jack's BS honestly. Shut up and play. Luke needs to sit a game and watch, let Hattakaa back in. Sitting Miller was dumb. Smitty needs a game off for maintenance. Timo is go awful but they are playing him where now at 3 LW, huh? Seems like Lindy has lost the room and I feel Jack is his biggest ally and thats not good. 2nd game they played with no urgency, perimiter shooting no sustained pressure. May actually be best if they get smoked this weekend to call it!

Mine would be

Our PP is too organized, too geared towards set plays. It worked early…but people have video. They have some of the best skilled players on the planet. Just let them improvise.
Also…would be nice to have a right shot on left dot.

All the talk is going to be “get rid of Daws” after this game.
No goalie helps us with the quality chances against we are giving up. The problem is puck protection from blueline.
Protect the puck. Fix the power play.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil</b></div><div>What the difference between Hynes and Ruff's system?</div></div>
Hynes triangle system asked more defensively from the center. Would usually get parked in front of net above dmen. (Triangle between two dmen and center). Wingers would cover points but also come help in corners more. It often would not lead to as many quick counter-attacks since so many guys were down low in d-zone. Need shot-blocking forwards and speedy wingers for this to work well. Since the idea is that transition more often starts at our own blue line.
Lindy’s system plays the center up higher with a wings mostly along boards. Dmen can leave net front to pursue puck. It can leave us exposed near net, but also leaves to more rush attempts going other way. Need dmen that can retrieve puck and deliver it cleanly to transition forwards for this to work well. Possession starts deeper in our own zone.

Don't know of you guys have seen this but late in the game and post game with Sal, Lazar said this to and a story locally with Ryan Novo.
“we’ve made a major overhaul of our system,” Lazar said. “It’s still a work in progress. We’re doing a pretty good job of learning on the fly. Mistakes are going to happen and what not and you’ve got to bear down and be strong in front of your nets. It takes a full 6-man unit. We can’t leave our goalies out to dry there.
More responsibility for the centermen, moving all over the ice."

Good for Bratt. Let him draft with Buble!
I believe I read 6-8 weeks for sprained wrist...grade-2 (no surgery)....so I have viewed the outdoor game as earliest return.

Not only do you want Holtz, you think you're getting a 1st on top of it.
if you want holtz+1st, the only piece on montreal worth that is Slaf.
Again:
Holtz+3rd for Dach+1st
Holtz for Newhook+2nd
Holtz+3rd for Montembault+Calgary 1st
Holtz for unprotected Montreal 1st+3rd
Holtz+3rd for Matheson+Calgary 1st
Holtz for Matheson (50% retained)
Holtz for Calgary 1st+Colorado 2nd+ Montreal 3rd
Holtz+3rd for Guhle
