December 29, 2025
New article from our boy Ryan Novo on the outlook of the Devils

Sums it up
Well…. He’s not wrong.
Novo is the ONLY sports reporter, local or from the North American hockey press, that asks hard questions and publishes criticism of the Devils org.
Before he got on the Devils beat many in these pages lamented the uniform soft ball questions.
It feels like only Novo and that one chick (Flannery?) are the only 2 people around the team that give hard questions or actually want Fitz fired
Fitz has the kind of job security that most only dream of.
Would be a good article without a pay wall.
One positive I see, before it’s blurred out, is that a reporter is saying Dougie and Palat are terrible and if we don’t make the playoffs, Fitz should be fired. I’m glad it’s just not Reddit saying it. 😂😂
I wonder if he was in front of Fitz if he would actually ask some tough questions.. We’ll probably never know since Fitz doesn’t speak! But honestly he rubs me the wrong way, seems like he profits off the team doing poorly which gives me bad vibes. Hope they start winning and he’s stuck having to write click bait articles about Jack and Tate.
For those that want Fitz fired, who is out there that is more desirable? I’m not on board with firing him thinking it will fix everything. Moves need to be made but other teams also have to be willing to trade. Not many teams are willing to get rid of a top 6 winger or starting goalie without overpaying on our end.
A devastating indictment on the core of this team. Last in scoring in the NHL for the last calendar year. Anyone who defends this core and the people who assembled them is delusional. This offense is shit.
