With the New Jersey Devils close to done with their offseason signings, one question fans have brought up has been: Who should captain the team next season? I offer a few potential Devils players who could get the 'C' next season.
The decision to bring Jacques Lemaire as an interim head coach definitely sent a serious message to the players. In this post I go into why I believe that is while emphasizing for Jamie Langenbrunner and his supporters that they need to learn to deal with Lemaire if they want to stay Devils.
Jamie Langenbrunner has defended John MacLean after tonight's 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh. Yet, he's said this before (almost literally after the 5-2 loss at San Jose in October), so I put the question of whether fans agree with Langenbrunner to a poll.
The post-game quotes from Jamie Langenbrunner all have a common thread. This post looks at them and concludes that the team's performances do not seem to follow what the New Jersey Devils' captain says.
Rich Chere of the Star Ledger had a fascinating article about Jamie Langenbrunner and Jacques Lemaire. Three quotes from that article stuck out so much that I have added my own opinions about the team's apparent leadership and locker room issues.
