I got a bone to pick with Mantha, shoot the damn puck. He isn’t gonna last long in the lineup if he doesn’t start being a threat on the ice. He needs to lock in. He’s not the only reason for the devils losing but his numbers are horrific

The Devils are the 9th most valuable franchise in the NHL 😈
They had the second highest value increase over the year 📈

The focus has been on Quinn Hughes and the @mnwild all offseason.
@Rupper17 and @mike_p_johnson discuss the options of either extending Hughes or trading him.

I don’t cover the #NJDevils in the press box anymore but I will NOT allow you to disrespect my former colleagues and friends.
This is very unbecoming, inappropriate, and uncalled for. Please be better!
You’re a fan of a team that sadly doesn’t have a single actual beat writer. To many of you, anybody not a fanboy blogger is a mouthpiece
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The New Jersey Devils have multiple credentialed beat writers and professional reporters covering the team daily, including James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now and Gabe Trevino of NJ Advance Media/NJ.com.

I want to personally commend @InStilettos_NHL, @daniel_amoia & @JamesNicholsNHL for the work they do as the beat reporters of the #NJDevils
They do standup, hard-hitting work and are very much always in the rooms. Shoutout to them, your work does not go unnoticed.

Watch this tornado warned supercell cross Delaware Bay into New Jersey! This storm was spinning like a top and nearly dropped a water trumpet
RIP!
Guy blocks me because his words “you’ll be very happy with the things fitzy has cooking” in December I called him on it, and still fitzy has done nothing. What a bum…
The best explanation of GM Tom Fitzgerald and the #NJDevils I’ve ever seen.
As I mentioned to @thenvpshow on @DevilsState before we get to steps 3 and 4 of bringing in help as the tweet says step 1 is fingering out how you are bringing back Kovacevic. #njdevils
Figure that out first. But I wouldn’t expect money since they don’t have cap space.

They’re running a normal practice.
Business as usual.
Losing 9-0 on national television is acceptable to #NJDevils ownership. This is the standard they’ve set.
It’s unbelievable. But it’s really not.
It’s the day after a nightmare scenario for the #NJDevils and I can honestly say it wasn’t a good nights sleep for myself.
The franchise as a whole simply needs to be better. The paying fans deserve better. Much much much better. This isn’t something we’ve seen only this season, this is a reoccurring problem with this team. I don’t know what the answer is. I’m not even sure if there is an answer that will fix everything other than start from scratch at this point in time.
My only hope is that we as devils fans don’t have to fall asleep again tonight with Tom Fitzgerald still in charge of this franchise, as I said, the paying fans deserve better than this.
