"A few more games like Sunday night's and Jacques Lemaire might want to rethink coming out of retirement. Lemaire's return to the Devils' bench didn't go any better in Game 2 on Sunday night than Game 1 on Thursday. In fact, the Devils' 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Prudential Center didn't look much different than the first 33 games of the season when John MacLean was coaching the team - except for the sparse crowd.
