Devils interim Head Coach Travis Green stood behind the postgame press conference podium on Tuesday night following his club’s 5-2 loss to visiting Toronto, its fifth in the last six games.
Man I'd like to see them take a swing at someone who isn't a typical retread. Or at least fill the assistant or associate coaches with new faces or at least somewhere within the coaching system. Or at least taking a long look at a Pandolfo, Pecknold or even a Leach, Ward, Shaw. Or really shock the NHL world and promote Megan Duggan and hire Jessica Campbell. But somehow I don't see that happening 😁
Great article Steve. Extremely disappointing from everyone involved. Players, coaches, front office. Unfortunately, I find myself on Tankathon every morning now. Green has done nothing to impress me. Any thoughts on which coaches the FO would be interested in in the off-season? I'm scared of the retread that they'll hire to somehow make this team "tougher" but I'm not sure what type of coach would actually get through to the players.
Thanks! Unfortunately, but sometimes fortunately (I.e. Laviolette), hockey tends to recycle coaches. I’m fairly sure the Devils’ process won’t get into full swing until after the playoffs, when some good but underperforming coaches will be added to the market. I would be shocked if they hired first time HC.
