New Jersey Devils assistant coach Adam Oates has been hired by the Washington Capitals to be their head coach. In this post, I look at how the Devils' power play - one of Oates' main responsibilities - performed under Oates compared to prior seasons and determine that he wasn't all that effective.
The New Jersey Devils power play has been poor all season long. There was a hot streak in December that puts lie to whether they got better; but this post shows that probably was not the case.
The New Jersey Devils opened up today's optional practice to season ticket holders as well as holding a meet & greet with the full team. I went to the practice, took lots of photos, and wrote down my observations of what went on in this post.
As the losses mount for the New Jersey Devils, more fans want John MacLean fired. This post asks the question of what kind of coach should replace MacLean. In my own response, I give five traits that I would want the replacement to have to improve the current team.
With the New Jersey Devils continuing to be poor, there is increased chatter for head coach John MacLean to be fired. Rather than discuss whether should be fired, I ask and go over what the coaches can and cannot control with respect to the Devils' problems this season.
The New Jersey Devils announced that Adam Oates will be an assistant coach for the 2010-11 season. Thanks to John and Cassie of Raw Charge, I explain what Oates can bring to the table and why I like the decision to hire him.
