This sick, sick bastard has been bitching and whining all year about Tom Fitzgerald, blaming all of his problems on Tom Fitzgerald.

And I guess his wish came true because Tom Fitzgerald is no longer a part of the New Jersey Devils.

I guess agreed to part ways is how it was worded.

Pasha, what do you think?

How happy are you, I guess?

So you've talked a lot about injuries.

It's just injuries.

And honestly, if Jack Hughes hadn't cut himself with the knife, this could be a completely different story this year.

I mean, considering what he's done since the Olympics, if they never lost him, who knows?

They were in a good spot.

I know that.

Okay, so what is on Fitzy in your mind?

I mean, maybe it's Keefe as well as you just said, but you love the Meyer move.

You love the contracts that they gave out to guys.

You were all in on this team prior to this season, so with injuries affecting them and maybe bad coaching, why is it Fitzy that's eating this?

What would you say to fans who are wondering that?

How is it his fault?

But I guess with the Quinn Hughes one,

He's lit it up so much that it was like when it went down and he went to Minnesota, I know all you Devils fans were flipping.

And then to see what he's actually done there, it's made it even worse.
