Devils Got their Man as John MacLean Named Head Coach

The New Jersey Devils got their man as John MacLean was named head coach for the upcoming season. I posted on May 7th that this hire makes the most sense for the organization as they could use some consistency behind the bench. Larry Robinson will return to be an assistant coach with the team and the other coach has not yet been named. Jamie Langenbrunner will remain as the Devils’ captain.

“I’m whatever is called for that day," MacLean said last season when asked about his coaching style. "If it calls for teaching and being nice or if it calls for breaking a stick and yelling and screaming, then that’s what it calls for that day.”
