NEWARK, N. Jim Kelly Jersey .J. - The New Jersey Devils replaced the fired Pete DeBoer with a three-headed coaching staff and didnt fare any better in the first game of the unique experiment.Former Washington Capitals coach Adam Oates, ex-Devils assistant and star defenceman Scott Stevens and general manager Lou Lamoriello are splitting duties on the bench. Oates will handle the forwards and Stevens will oversee the defence, Lamoriello said at a news conference before Saturdays morning skate.Hours later, the Devils (12-18-7) took on the Rangers in New York and lost 3-1.I still see positives, Lamoriello said after his clubs latest loss Saturday night. Were taking this a game at a time. You have to be optimistic or you shouldnt be in this game. Winning breeds success, and success breeds winning.We just have to keep at it.There will be no official head coach for the rest of the season. Lamoriello plans to remain on the bench until I feel comfortable with the situation.DeBoer was fired Friday with the Devils languishing nine points out of the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are ahead of only Carolina.Were going to feed off each other, Oates said before the game. Theres no reason why we cant work together. Everything happened pretty quickly. But when Lou calls, the answer is always Yes. It didnt matter what my responsibility would be.Oates went 68-47-17 in two seasons with the Capitals and spent two years with the Devils as an assistant coach, helping them reach the Stanley Cup finals in 2012. He played 19 years in the NHL, including a stint with the St. Louis Blues, when he was teammates with Stevens. Oates had 341 goals and 1,079 assists in his career and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012.We have tremendous respect for each other, Oates said. We worked together here. We both played here and coached here, so its an easy transition for us. Its kind of a collaboration right now. Its a team effort and were all on the same page.Stevens spent 13 seasons with the Devils, much of it as captain. He had 196 goals and 712 assists during his career, leading the Devils to Stanley Cup championships in 1995, 2000 and 2003. He was an assistant coach with the team until the start of this season, when he had philosophical differences with DeBoer.Adam and I are going to try to get this righted, Stevens said. We have to get the Devil identity back. Ill make sure to work with the defence and Adam will work with the forwards. Hes already been a head coach, so it will be a good transition. In my opinion, it will be a great challenge, but we both love great challenges.Lamoriello made his league-record 14th coaching change.Its never easy in this league, Lamoriello said. Its been a long 48 hours, but you have to do what you feel is right.Lamoriello said that it wasnt fair to ask another coach to take over a floundering team midway through a season.Thats why we didnt even consider anyone else, Lamoriello said.Both of these individuals know our players, know the philosophy that we want, he added. It makes sense. I know its unique and different, but right now, its our way of moving forward. Im totally confident with the setup. O. J. Simpson Jersey .

Lewis Hamilton had no such problems, finishing Fridays opening day of practice with the top times from both training sessions as the dominating Mercedes team showed no signs of slowing down. The British driver is looking for his fourth straight win this season. Mercedes teammate and F1 leader Nico Rosberg was right behind, setting the afternoons second best time after his crew fixed a cooling issue. Vettel was running through his fifth lap on the sunny and dry 4.6-kilometre (2.9-mile) Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya when his Red Bull came to a halt. He then helped push his RB10 out of the path of his rivals before a group of fans gathered at the fence to take photographs of the champion using a fire extinguisher on the rear of his malfunctioning car. After Vettel was whisked back to the paddock on the back of a scooter, Hamilton clocked the fastest lap time in the opening session and then bettered that by almost 1.5 seconds in the afternoon with a mark of 1 minute, 25.524 seconds. Red Bull said an electrical problem that "damaged the wiring" of Vettels car meant he couldnt return for the afternoon practice session. That left Vettel with only one session on Saturday before qualifying. "Its a small failure, but a big consequence," Vettel said. Red Bull had given Vettels car an older chassis in a move the German called a "sanity check" to try to find an elusive answer to his cars lack of pace. The Austrian team renowned for its design had a bigger problem than speed, however, when Vettel was left stranded just after the fifth turn. Vettel is having his worst season at Red Bull with only one podium finish so far and sits in a distant fifth place in the standings. He has even had to let new teammate Daniel Ricciardo pass him twice during the last two races. And Ricciardo emerged frrom the opening day of practice as the closest thing the grid can offer as a threat to the Mercedes duo by recording the third best time in both sessions at almost a second behind Hamilton. Custom Buffalo Bills Jerseys. Hamilton trails Rosberg by four points despite having won the last three races in front of his teammate. The pair have won all four races and taken all four pole positions this year. Hamilton hasnt lost a step after a three-week break and showed that the other teams have yet to make headway despite their upgrades for the start of the seasons run of European events. "Its been a great day today and Im happy to be back in the car after what feels like quite a long break," said Hamilton. "Our two practice sessions today went very smoothly, in fact Ive not had such a good Friday for a very long time." Last years race winner, Fernando Alonso, had the fourth best effort in both sessions, while Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen could do no better than fifth in the afternoon. Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo said he was "not happy" with his team and that he would work closely with new team principal Marco Mattiacci to "improve the situation as soon as possible." Pablo Maldonado of Lotus recorded the most laps through both 90-minute sessions with a total of 76. The early session to prepare for Sundays race featured some close calls. Sergio Perez had to box when the left mirror on his Force India car became detached. The Mexican driver had to grab it and drive one-handed while coming in. Sauber test driver Giedo Van der Garde survived a bigger scare when he told his team he had "a break failure" and ran off course, barely missing the wall. In the second session, Romain Grosjeans Lotus stalled at the end of the pitlane, while Jean-Eric Vergne lost the right rear wheel of his Toro Rosso. Max Chilton twice had to come in due to engine trouble before a piece of his Marussia went flying on his next trip out. He ended the day by driving into the sand. ' ' '
