Miles Woods issues an apology to his entire team and the fanbase
The New Jersey Devils were hoping to win their season opener, as they are in the midst of a rebuild. With Jesper Bratt having a multi-point night against the Philadelphia Flyers and multiple teammates contributing, including Alexander Holtz, the Devils lost on Thursday.
Needless to say, Miles Wood isn't a fan of the current direction of losing games and he let the media have it.
Wood apologized and clarified his anger at the fact they lost to a Flyers team, who could at the end of the season be one of the worst on the ice. The comments surely could've ruffled the feather of the front office, as Lindy Ruff managed to retain his job, despite two lackluster seasons recently.
With one year remaining on his contract and losing his assistants, will Fitzgerald decide to move on if this year isn't successful?
Wood albeit an RFA this offseason, will no doubt be extended, as someone on the team who puts up meaningful points, even as someone who isn't a 20-goal scorer.
If Wood's comments did hit a nerve, I doubt it's the fanbase who wants to see the team become a contender.
