    I think there was more to this one…I think he was forced to overplay D rookie endorsed by his brother and Ruff was fighting it back…

    Here's a stat for you.

    New Jersey goaltenders owned an .890 save percentage during his near 4-season tenure as bench boss, 31st in the NHL.
    He didn't stand a chance. How he was a Jack Adams finalist last year is amazing.

    not questioning that goalies suck in NJ...but i do think there is more to this...there were rumblings he did not like to put LH ahead of Hamilton at beginning and im sure this escalated ...i personally think Nemec has ben better overall but getting less chances...i dont think it was Ruffs decision

    At the end of the day, you win games you have job security. It's hard to win games with that poor goaltending.

    Weird how this all played out.

    I just can't imagine Fitzgerald canning him knowing how bad the goaltending has been plus losing Hughes, Hischier and Hamilton for so many games. Does feel like something else is at play here.
