New Jersey Devils head coach Jacques Lemaire has announced his retirement, four days after his team was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the third consecutive year. He's stated that he doesn't have the energy to coach anymore, but he expects to remain with the team in a different capacity.
This was the only season of Lemaire's second stint as the Devils' coach. During the first stint, which lasted five seasons, he led the Devils to a Stanley Cup in 1995. General manager Lou Lamoriello now has a decision on his hands as to who will steer the ship of this struggling organization.
