Lindy Ruff Booed at Devils' Home Opener, 'I think I'm getting booed'

For those unfamiliar with the residents of New Jersey and fans of the Devils, they are a ruthless bunch when it comes to failure. They booed former head coach John Hynes out of a job, and anyone who though Lindy Ruff would be safe, think again.

During the introductory ceremony, Ruff received an overwhelming roar of 'BOOOOOOO' and appeared a little surprised.

Uh, yeah.

It's NEW JERSEY, pal? What do you expect, you have won like 12 games over two seasons. Okay, he has actually won 46, but still. That is literally a 33% win rate.

Ruff's leash in New Jersey is likely quite short, especially after Brunette's hiring.
