Yesterday was a tough day physically and emotionally for the New Jersey Devils. After an awful loss earlier in the week, those who knew Ray Shero suffered an even greater one. The Devils reflected on the man who set the foundation for today’s team.

Elsewhere, it’s interesting that Brock Boeser already knows his fate in Vancouver. He’s on his way out, and the Devils had interest in him at the deadline. It’s certainly something to keep an eye on.

Speaking of Vancouver, Jack, and Luke’s brother, Quinn Hughes, is feeling the weight of the 2024-25 season the Canucks had. It wasn’t good for most, and there are lots of question marks ahead.

Let’s do that hockey.
