Driving past the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., for a news conference at which he would be introduced as Devils head coach, Sheldon Keefe noticed a statue of Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur in front of the building.
It was an instant reminder that the expectations of coaching the Devils in the New York City metropolitan area are no different than what was expected in Toronto for the Maple Leafs.
Winning a Stanley Cup is all that matters, and that’s the goal Keefe will bring next season when he takes over another young and talented team that fell short of expectations this past season.
