NJHN Daily: Devils Pressing On; Reasons for Panic? High-Profile Prospects NHL-Bound

New Jersey Devils head coach Sheldon Keefe didn’t even want to talk about last night’s game against the Boston Bruins. It’s not the worst approach.
He explained there was nothing to take away from the loss. In short, no one showed up, and no one was good. He took partial blame by saying he didn’t have the team prepared. When the Devils don’t abide by their structure, they essentially have no hope.
