New Jersey Devils Management Whoas

I wanted to comment on the first few games. However, it really isn’t fair to critique or criticize any of the players. Management is an entirely different story. It is expected of the players to win; that is their part of the contract. Management’s part is to give the players the best possible chance to win and they are not. Allowing a team that has a lot of potential of winning to be playing with anything less then 21 men is unacceptable. With out the proper staff players will continue to drop due to injury. It was stated by a few players and management before the season started, that this team was built for longevity. I can’t agree if management is asking the all the players to play 20-25 minutes all season long. The probability of more players getting hurt is almost inevitable and there is no room to cover for those players.

A few other opinions on this as well:

Also, Tom Gulitti from Fire & Ice pointed out that the team played many games with dressing 17 or 18 players in 06 and 07. They won a few but the reason was the same, salary cap. I strongly feel that it is still unacceptable to put your team at a disadvantage.

Also, if you aren't putting a full team on the ice why am I still paying full price for my tickets?
