At the news conference introducing John Hynes as the new Devils head coach, new general manager Ray Shero said he wanted New Jersey to be “fast, attacking, supportive.”
And we’ve officially turned the page on the Lou Lamoriello years. I’m surprised Lou didn’t have some sort of electricity shocking device on Shero when he said those words.
As NJ.com notes, only Hynes and Shero were on the press conference dais. No Lou.
Hynes, the former coach of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins backed up his boss’s comments.
“The important thing of those words Ray used is not so much the systematic thing, but I think as an organization, the identity of our team, something our players understand clearly, how we’re going to play, what our identity is going to be, those things are important,” Hynes said.
