(When some news comes about, many links around the internet come in. To organize things on the big announcements, here's a quick links post or a "News Slapshot").
Devils Hire John MacLean as Head Coach: Here's the AP article on Yahoo. Some good information and quotes here. This was the forth time MacLean has been a coaching candidate. He's the first Devils player to become head coach of the team.
Larry Robinson named Top Assistant Coach: This certainly deserves attention. We all love Mr. Robinson, and it's great to see him behind the bench again. The 2nd assistant has not been named yet. Chris Terreri will be the Goaltending Coach. Scott Stevens, Tommy Albelin, and Mario Tremblay all remain in the organization.
Mac Liked His Chances; How Much Will Marty Play?: The season in Lowell as head coach obviously helped MacLean, but he admits it was needed to become a coach in the NHL. Also, he isn't afraid to bring up Martin Brodeur's playing time.
Langenbrunner Likes the Hire; Haviland Never a Candidate: Well Captain America approves of this hire, which is good. We all know the animosity Jamie's had in the past with his coaches. MacLean and Jamie were teammates in Dallas during the 2000-01 season. Jamie Langenbrunner will still wear the 'C'.
Parise Hopes Mac Brings the Offense; Lou: Our Style is Winning: Zach Parise also likes this hire, and hope Mac's age will bring an offensive style to the Devils. MacLean and Lou seem to be on the same page as to how to run the team and what the objective is.
Analysis and more to come later tonight on the big hire. If any other articles emerge, we'll be sure to add them.
UPDATE: Got a hold of a video of the press conference. It's after the jump.
Here's the video of the hire below on NJDTV. There's a few more videos on the side. MacLean looks likes he's trying to hide his smile as Lou announces his name during the press conference.

I have respect for most sports fans with 2 exceptions: NY Ranger fans who grew up in New Jersey, and Dallas Cowboy fans who can't name the capital of Texas.

Words can’t describe how stoked I am for this upcoming season now that Johnny Mac is behind the bench.
New Jersey Devils and New York Yankees: Thrivin' on the Hate Game since 1982 and 1903, respectively.
I still am not over yet another first round exit..getting really tired of it and now we gotto wait another year. But hopefully now we can push the offence a bit more.

The way you’re laying these out is a bit confusing. Don’t make hotlinks to articles seem like headings to a section of your post. It’s confusing what’s going on and what’s what and if something should be clicked or not.
Just a suggestion. Not trying to razz the new writer.
It's fine..I actually agree with you
It’s the line spacing, when you hit enter it makes it look like a heading. Would it be better it the description was just next to the link?
Kind of like this: – Description

Though I believe the last link got eaten – it goes to Zach Parise’s player page.
