00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:11.539
Hi, this is Chico Resch.

00:00:11.980 --> 00:00:14.740
You are listening to the Let's Go Devils podcast on

4
00:00:17.449 --> 00:00:18.390
Happy Devils Monday.
5
00:00:18.449 --> 00:00:20.769
This is Devils After Dark. Coming to you live, live
6
00:00:20.829 --> 00:00:24.769

Prudential Center, next to Jefferson Plaza.
8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.600
I'm your host, Sam Wu, going cross-continent.
9
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:35.549
To the Michael J. Fox Studios in beautiful California. It's Scotty,
10
00:00:35.590 --> 00:00:39.270

13
00:00:47.369 --> 00:00:52.609
Devils fall to the Ottawa Senators tonight, 4-1 at the Rock.
14
00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:57.390
Lots to unpack here, Scotty, because I don't think anybody's happy.
15
00:00:57.829 --> 00:00:58.689
How about this loss?
16
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:07.599
No, probably not. And, yeah, another bad performance there put
17
00:01:07.739 --> 00:01:08.780
on by this team.
18
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.739
Hello, everybody. Following in there to the old YouTube page.
19
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:13.700
What's going on?
20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.489
Welcome to another rip-roaring edition of Devils After Dark. Following
21
00:01:18.590 --> 00:01:22.049
up yet another Devils loss.
22
00:01:22.810 --> 00:01:26.000
I see Sagats. I see Corbin. Selecta.
23
00:01:27.109 --> 00:01:28.150
Who is this? V.
24
00:01:28.250 --> 00:01:29.989
Lynn Mars. Okay.
25
00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:30.489
Eddie.
26
00:01:30.549 --> 00:01:31.510
Little Bubs.
27
00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:33.810
Ariel.
28
00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:34.989
Steve Tortoise.
29
00:01:36.969 --> 00:01:40.269
RME. Man.
30
00:01:41.109 --> 00:01:44.000
The South Fork Yeti has returned.
31
00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:46.859
Gears of Yawn.
32
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.500
Says fire everyone. Serve.
33
00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:53.000
Another game with no help for Nico Dawes. Yeah, I
34
00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:57.329
think that was the big takeaway for... for me over here,
35
00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:03.010
was that this one was not on old Nico Dawes. Well,
36
00:02:03.049 --> 00:02:06.329
let's talk about it. Let's do a quick recap, and
37
00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:07.189
then we'll get to.
38
00:02:07.069 --> 00:02:09.949
More of your comments.
39
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:18.139
Shamu Zosu, I don't know all these names. Yeah, they
40
00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:20.319
did play most of the game shorthanded. You're absolutely right, sir.
41
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:23.479
But either way, game number.
42
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.210
Five on the season. First.
43
00:02:25.750 --> 00:02:29.060
Back-to-back this year. We've got another one coming up tomorrow.
44
00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:35.960
Taking on the Brady-less Ottawa Sens, who have been playing
45
00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:37.939
pretty damn good this year. Got to give them credit
46
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.740
for where credit is due. They've been really good so
47
00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.659
far this year. Nico Dahl is back in net. Tried
48
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:52.349
to rebound from the 6-0 ass-whooping that the Devils took
49
00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:56.229
against the old Islanders. And this game did start out
50
00:02:56.289 --> 00:03:01.250
rather chippy. Chisholm standing up one of the sends. Got
51
00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:04.490
a crowd gathering. You get Brendan Dillon going in there.
52
00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:08.030
Cousins getting together. Dillon then had a hard hit on Zetterlin, which,
53
00:03:08.590 --> 00:03:11.780
of course, was an interference call. Rough stuff with Fogle
54
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.280
after that.
55
00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:17.120
Manta gets a five-minute major boarding penalty.
56
00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:21.539
I do think that's the fastest I've seen Anthony Manta
57
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.849
skate the entire season. He tried to let up a
58
00:03:24.870 --> 00:03:26.669
little bit, you can tell, but it was still, it
59
00:03:26.689 --> 00:03:28.750
was the right call. It was a five-minute major.
60
00:03:29.469 --> 00:03:30.069
It is what it is.
61
00:03:30.110 --> 00:03:32.990
It was a dangerous play. Devils somehow kill it off, though.
62
00:03:33.409 --> 00:03:35.979
They don't give up that power play goal in the
63
00:03:36.259 --> 00:03:41.180
first period. But, you know, nothing too much to show
64
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.400
for it on their end. You know, Boquist and Lombardi
65
00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:50.509
had a nice opportunity. You know, Omar stopped a, I
66
00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:54.310
think it was Boquist at, took the pass across. It
67
00:03:54.349 --> 00:03:57.840
was kind of a tight pass across, though, to Lombardi,
68
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.120
and Omar was able to stop that one. Timo got also,
69
00:04:02.139 --> 00:04:05.020
I believe it was on a shorthanded break, gets a
70
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:08.379
pass across from, was it Evangelista?
71
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:09.430
I don't really remember.
72
00:04:11.090 --> 00:04:14.270
But one of the Sens defensemen just got the tip
73
00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:16.610
of their stick on that puck to kind of deflect
74
00:04:16.649 --> 00:04:18.649
it away from Timo Meier, or else it should have
75
00:04:18.670 --> 00:04:22.209
been an easy slam in to the side of the net.
76
00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:23.939
Devils got one.
77
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.819
Power play and then they promptly took a penalty themselves
78
00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:29.139
to put themselves in a four on four situation.
79
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.009
But we move into the.
80
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.730
Second tied zero zero. And that doesn't last for long
81
00:04:34.769 --> 00:04:39.069
because after the second period opening face off, the Devils
82
00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:43.550
are all just kind of standing around and not doing
83
00:04:43.589 --> 00:04:47.470
too much. And Shane Pinto goes and slams one home
84
00:04:48.329 --> 00:04:51.819
past the Nico Dawes on the pass across. The Devils
85
00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:56.139
are just kind of puck watching. You know, Devils, I
86
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.279
don't think Dawes had any chance on that goal whatsoever. Actually,
87
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.459
I don't think Dawes had a chance on any of
88
00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:06.490
the three goals that he gave up tonight. To be
89
00:05:06.529 --> 00:05:08.829
quite honest with you, they were all the Devils, you know,
90
00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:14.310
leaving lanes wide open. And the Sens getting really great opportunities.
91
00:05:14.829 --> 00:05:18.319
And this one, again, pass across. Shane Pinto, and he's
92
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.680
able to slam at home. I mean, Dawes can't get
93
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.139
over there fast enough. I really just don't think you
94
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.399
could put that one on Nico Dawes.
95
00:05:24.870 --> 00:05:27.430
But one thing we can't put on the New Jersey Devils,
96
00:05:27.449 --> 00:05:33.149
that's right. We've got a fistful of games where we
97
00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:36.459
have given up the first goal. Five games into the season,
98
00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:38.120
and the Devils are.
99
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:38.680
Batting 1,000, baby.
100
00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:42.670
Five games in, five games.
101
00:05:42.410 --> 00:05:45.029
Where they give up the first goal of the game
102
00:05:45.509 --> 00:05:49.209
and have to be chasing the entire time. After that,
103
00:05:49.230 --> 00:05:52.370
they go back on the penalty kill because Evangelista, he
104
00:05:52.470 --> 00:05:54.709
took a necessary penalty.
105
00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:57.660
Because once again, a guy was.
106
00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:01.920
Left open in the lane and Evangelista had no other
107
00:06:02.139 --> 00:06:04.959
option but to hook whoever that was.
108
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.620
It might have been Zetterlund or Pinto or something. I
109
00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:10.050
don't even freaking know. Um, at this point, but he
110
00:06:10.089 --> 00:06:11.370
takes a necessary penalty.
111
00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:14.790
Devils go back on the, uh, on the penalty kill
112
00:06:14.910 --> 00:06:17.970
and then some bad luck, uh, to Brett Pesci, who
113
00:06:18.009 --> 00:06:22.730
we know is usually a stalwart force, you know, on the,
114
00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:25.769
on the penalty kill and backed on defense kind of
115
00:06:25.810 --> 00:06:27.509
left in a two on one situation.
116
00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:31.839
Just do a little cross skate backwards, loses an edge.
117
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:33.620
And wouldn't you know it?
118
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.420
Gives a holiday, a wide open net over there across
119
00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:42.199
for yet another pass across and boom, beats Nico Dawes again,
120
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.519
power play goal. Don't think you could put this one
121
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.629
on Dawes when someone is wide open on the other
122
00:06:50.670 --> 00:06:53.649
side and the puck just goes clean across. And again,
123
00:06:53.730 --> 00:06:56.769
some bad luck there with, uh, Brett Pesci losing an
124
00:06:56.889 --> 00:06:57.829
edge and going down.
125
00:06:57.850 --> 00:07:00.649
Um, but still, you know.
126
00:07:01.149 --> 00:07:05.100
Pretty crappy, uh, to see that happen, especially for Nico Dawes,
127
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.279
who I thought played pretty well.
128
00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.540
And these three goals, again, I wouldn't put any of
129
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:09.939
them on him.
130
00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:16.180
Either way, we move into the third period. And about, oh,
131
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.160
I don't know, 10, 9, 10 minutes or so into
132
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.959
the period, the Ottawa Senators finally get their first shot
133
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:24.699
of the third period.
134
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.379
And wouldn't you know, it goes in. That's right. Another
135
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.050
one that I don't think you can put On Nico Dawes.
136
00:07:33.089 --> 00:07:36.629
This was a big blast from Shabbat.
137
00:07:36.970 --> 00:07:42.529
And Stutzel, who is really developed into a fine player himself,
138
00:07:43.110 --> 00:07:45.810
gets the tip to put it past Nico Dawes. Again,
139
00:07:47.009 --> 00:07:48.709
not one that I think you can put on the
140
00:07:48.750 --> 00:07:49.920
goaltender right there.
141
00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:54.379
And all of a sudden, the Sens are now up 3-0.
142
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.100
Then the Devils do get a goal from Jesper Boquist, who,
143
00:07:58.139 --> 00:07:59.500
by the way, the fourth line was.
144
00:08:01.209 --> 00:08:04.850
By far and away, the best line for the New
145
00:08:04.889 --> 00:08:10.139
Jersey Devils tonight. And really the first five games of
146
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.740
the year. With Jesper Boquist on there. If this would
147
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.199
have standed, it would have been his third goal in
148
00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:19.660
three games. But the puck is kind of sitting in
149
00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:23.610
between the legs of Omar. And Jesper Boquist sees it
150
00:08:23.649 --> 00:08:28.310
and swipes it in. However, another one of those situations...
151
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.159
where we saw with Timo Meier when he scored and
152
00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:36.340
had the goal waved off because the officials are thinking
153
00:08:36.450 --> 00:08:38.409
about possibly blowing the whistle.
154
00:08:39.929 --> 00:08:42.769
And they don't. And so you got the puck kind
155
00:08:42.809 --> 00:08:44.590
of buried underneath Omar's legs.
156
00:08:45.470 --> 00:08:49.009
And hey, if I'm Cody Glass, you're going to play
157
00:08:49.090 --> 00:08:52.629
until you hear the whistle. So he starts poking at
158
00:08:52.669 --> 00:08:57.000
the puck and he ends up moving Omar back to
159
00:08:57.899 --> 00:09:00.580
The slightest amount, but the puck, that's when the puck
160
00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:04.279
squirts free and it's sitting in between his legs and
161
00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:07.320
Joshua Boquist kind of just whoops, swipes it into the
162
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:13.059
back of the net. So this rule about the officials
163
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.519
and their intent to blow the whistle really, really sucks.
164
00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:24.019
They let that play go on for much longer than
165
00:09:24.090 --> 00:09:27.080
it should have. And I'm not going to get into
166
00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:29.940
all the other penalties as well because Devils got some
167
00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:32.379
bad calls, but they also took a number of bad calls.
168
00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:36.470
But this whole intent to blow the whistle thing has
169
00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:39.570
got to be fixed already because this is the second
170
00:09:39.629 --> 00:09:43.289
time now already within five games this season where we've
171
00:09:43.330 --> 00:09:46.600
seen it like, you know, have a drastic effect.
172
00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:50.879
Like if that puck was stopped, the whistle should have blown.
173
00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:54.360
It did not blow. Cody Glass kept playing.
174
00:09:54.629 --> 00:09:56.580
You can almost see Cody Glass backed off as if
175
00:09:56.620 --> 00:10:00.279
he thought the whistle should have blown. And then when
176
00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:01.820
he didn't, he's like, well, all right, I'm going to
177
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:06.620
start poking at it. Can't blame Cody Glass there.
178
00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:10.679
But this whole intent.
179
00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:15.279
To blow the whistle rule sucks. Really, really needs to
180
00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:19.250
be changed immediately. I know they're not going to do
181
00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:22.950
anything until the end of the season, but seriously, it
182
00:10:23.070 --> 00:10:25.889
should be looked at at the.
183
00:10:27.269 --> 00:10:29.429
First possible opportunity.
184
00:10:29.450 --> 00:10:33.009
Because we saw the Timo Meier goal get called off
185
00:10:33.029 --> 00:10:35.519
a couple games ago. Now we're seeing this goal get
186
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.879
called off on something that the refs should have very
187
00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.100
clearly blown the whistle on.
188
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.679
And they did not. And then it's like, oh, well,
189
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.620
we meant to blow that.
190
00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:49.490
Oh, okay. All right. Swear.
191
00:10:49.970 --> 00:10:50.529
Swear, we did.
192
00:10:52.730 --> 00:10:57.190
Bunch of BS right there, in my opinion. So either way,
193
00:10:57.769 --> 00:11:01.779
the goal gets reviewed and then disallowed. But still, I
194
00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:03.480
got to give the horns up for that fourth line
195
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.659
because they're the only ones who are really making stuff happen.
196
00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:08.600
Other guys were hustling and everything like that, but the
197
00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:14.169
chemistry is just not there. And you're seeing a lot
198
00:11:14.870 --> 00:11:17.470
of bad things that we've seen for the past couple
199
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:20.789
of years that just continually come up the first goal
200
00:11:20.809 --> 00:11:23.610
of the game. Uh, why the hell are we the
201
00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:26.190
ones always pulling our goaltender with like two or three
202
00:11:26.230 --> 00:11:27.450
minutes to go in the game?
203
00:11:27.470 --> 00:11:31.269
Uh, just a lot of stuff that just seems like
204
00:11:31.330 --> 00:11:33.070
same old, same old, same old.
205
00:11:33.970 --> 00:11:36.769
Uh, but either way, uh, the lines get shuffled eventually,
206
00:11:37.070 --> 00:11:39.490
or maybe this was just an odd change there, but
207
00:11:39.830 --> 00:11:42.789
you had Jack Hughes, Timo Meyer and Gritz, you out
208
00:11:42.830 --> 00:11:46.250
there on the ice, uh, for their only goal of
209
00:11:46.289 --> 00:11:49.700
the game, uh, You get a pass from Jack Hughes,
210
00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:52.980
creeping in down the wing, passes it back to Gritz.
211
00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:58.039
He's around the face-off dot area, and he lets one rip.
212
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:02.399
Timo Meier is charging through the net, going hard, so
213
00:12:02.450 --> 00:12:04.169
he creates a little bit of distraction there.
214
00:12:04.350 --> 00:12:05.309
One actually gets.
215
00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:08.809
Passed, Omark, on the blast from Gritz Uke, past the
216
00:12:08.850 --> 00:12:12.809
glove side there, mid-height for his first of the year.
217
00:12:12.870 --> 00:12:14.830
Jack Hughes gets the lone assist, his fourth of the
218
00:12:14.850 --> 00:12:19.009
year at 14.59. The Sens get another empty net goal
219
00:12:19.450 --> 00:12:22.529
after they miss like two or three times on the
220
00:12:22.590 --> 00:12:24.860
long dumps. They finally do get an empty net goal
221
00:12:25.289 --> 00:12:33.159
at 1753. Not at like 1940 or, you know, 1753.
222
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.059
That should tell you about, you know, what the Devils
223
00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:38.779
were doing in this game tonight.
224
00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:40.179
Shots on goal for the Devils.
225
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.039
Four.
226
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.779
Four shots in the first period. Again, not being ready
227
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.899
to play. at the drop of the puck. 12 in
228
00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:52.019
the second, 14 in the third for a total of 30.
229
00:12:52.019 --> 00:12:58.720
The Sens, 7-10-3 for a total of 20 shots. Face-offs,
230
00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:02.940
the Sens had the slight advantage here. Excuse me, 29
231
00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:07.639
face-off wins to Devils, 26. Devils, again, 0-4 on the
232
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.059
power play. We were just talking about this last night.
233
00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:12.759
This is going to be a team that, once again,
234
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.759
if the power play goes cold... They're going to be
235
00:13:15.779 --> 00:13:19.679
in trouble because the five-on-five scoring just hasn't been there.
236
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:24.159
13 minutes of penalties. The Devils only had 11 hits.
237
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.679
Another thing that we've talked about for many years, we
238
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:31.179
are already seeing the dramatic effect of no Paul Cotter
239
00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:34.679
in the lineup. 11 hits to the Sens 21.
240
00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:37.389
13 block shots to the Sens 30. 30 block shots.
241
00:13:37.429 --> 00:13:48.559
That's called getting in the lanes. Devils 14 giveaways.
242
00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:51.929
It's a lot of the same stuff that we've been
243
00:13:52.529 --> 00:13:57.210
seeing issue-wise going on and on. It's only the fifth
244
00:13:57.250 --> 00:14:00.470
game of the season. Again, you got a new GM.
245
00:14:00.490 --> 00:14:02.269
You got a lot of new guys on the team.
246
00:14:02.750 --> 00:14:05.690
Still trying to find chemistry. Teams can have slow starts
247
00:14:05.750 --> 00:14:09.360
and things like that, but this is not the way
248
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.320
any Devils fan.
249
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.029
Was hoping the season would begin today. and it feels.
250
00:14:15.830 --> 00:14:19.429
Eerily similar to previous seasons, but whatever.
251
00:14:19.909 --> 00:14:20.649
Devils lose.
252
00:14:20.669 --> 00:14:21.889
They are now under.
253
00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:23.610
500, 2-3 on the year, but they do get a
254
00:14:23.629 --> 00:14:26.289
chance to right the wrong tomorrow night.
255
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:33.639
In the frozen frenzy with an early start at 6 p.m.
256
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.799
Eastern time. So let's hear from you right now.
257
00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:41.909
Trey White, this season should be over by Thanksgiving.
258
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.429
I feel like this is the Mets. The Mets is
259
00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:47.179
usually like, oh, season's over by Memorial Day. You know,
260
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:51.960
I got to plan accordingly, you know, afterwards. But, yeah,
261
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.580
let's hear from you. YouTube chat.
262
00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.539
Get it going.
263
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.879
Chirp away. Chirp away. And let's bring in the man
264
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.019
of the hour, the tower of power. Too sweet to
265
00:15:00.059 --> 00:15:03.240
be sour. Sam, by God, woo.
266
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.879
And see what's going on with him. Sam, you were
267
00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:11.590
in the nice section. I think you're– Your dinner tonight
268
00:15:11.649 --> 00:15:13.110
was even better than the game.
269
00:15:14.049 --> 00:15:16.149
It certainly was. It certainly was.
270
00:15:16.230 --> 00:15:20.330
Posted on my ex-account at Primetime Sam Wu. I might
271
00:15:20.370 --> 00:15:22.750
have to block Mrs. Wu from seeing some of those
272
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:25.960
photos that I was posting from my seat.
273
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.840
Rounds one and two of the food in the club lounge.
274
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.200
It was an optical illusion.
275
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.200
What may have looked like a very juicy piece of
276
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.419
prime rib was actually a kale salad.
277
00:15:39.850 --> 00:15:42.750
You know, that's just the way it looks on camera.
278
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:44.179
That's the difference.
279
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.639
That was all AI. Yeah. You know, it made my
280
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.659
salad look like a steak, you know. So, I don't
281
00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:50.980
get it.
282
00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:52.000
Yeah, it's that filter.
283
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.679
Like, you know, I think it might be on Instagram now.
284
00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:56.620
It's like, it's a filter. It's the Sam Wu, the
285
00:15:56.659 --> 00:15:57.710
Sam salad filter.
286
00:15:58.179 --> 00:16:01.830
It just happens. It turns everything into, you know.
287
00:16:02.190 --> 00:16:02.470
Yeah.
288
00:16:02.730 --> 00:16:04.950
Well, it's kind of like going to glamour shots at
289
00:16:04.990 --> 00:16:07.950
the mall. You know, it turns ugly people into good
290
00:16:07.970 --> 00:16:08.509
looking people.
291
00:16:08.590 --> 00:16:08.950
But anyway.
292
00:16:08.970 --> 00:16:09.110
Anyway.
293
00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:15.559
Moving on. One consistent theme. We're how many games in?
294
00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:20.659
Five games in. One consistent theme. Getting down early and
295
00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:27.019
not prepared. Not prepared for the game.
296
00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:31.529
What'd you say? My earbuds just went and went out.
297
00:16:31.549 --> 00:16:33.289
So I missed that last. I had to plug in
298
00:16:33.330 --> 00:16:34.470
my actual headphones.
299
00:16:34.750 --> 00:16:35.129
Oh, okay.
300
00:16:35.149 --> 00:16:35.669
What were you.
301
00:16:35.629 --> 00:16:38.870
Saying there after our discussion about that new filter?
302
00:16:39.409 --> 00:16:42.990
The They were just not prepared. This is the fifth
303
00:16:43.049 --> 00:16:46.610
consecutive game. They did not come out prepared. And I'm
304
00:16:46.629 --> 00:16:48.450
going to have to blame the coaching on this one.
305
00:16:48.870 --> 00:16:51.549
I'm going to blame the players on this one. Because
306
00:16:51.629 --> 00:16:56.220
right now, you can't be always down 1-0 for every
307
00:16:56.379 --> 00:17:00.659
freaking game and having to, you know, come back from
308
00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:06.849
a deficit. That's preparation. That's lack of attention to details.
309
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.619
This is not good for Sheldon Keefe. I can tell
310
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.920
you that right now. How long is that leash? It's
311
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.369
got to be a short leash right now. I thought
312
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.309
the move from Sonny Maeda coming into this, you know,
313
00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:23.750
coming as GM, try to keep some consistency because there's going.
314
00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:24.970
To be wholesale changes.
315
00:17:25.329 --> 00:17:28.710
You saw what Sonny Maeda did with Utica.
316
00:17:30.390 --> 00:17:33.950
They put a new GM. It's a totally different attitude
317
00:17:33.990 --> 00:17:34.410
right now.
318
00:17:35.230 --> 00:17:38.589
I was talking to Neil who is now covering a
319
00:17:38.670 --> 00:17:39.789
good friend of the podcast.
320
00:17:40.950 --> 00:17:42.490
I don't even know how to pronounce his last name.
321
00:17:42.589 --> 00:17:47.609
But he's covering the Utica Comets, and they're looking good.
322
00:17:48.109 --> 00:17:52.410
They're coming out with a bang. Not your New Jersey Devils,
323
00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:55.660
and that is a problem. And if Sheldon Keith thinks
324
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.380
that he's going to keep his job by the end
325
00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:05.759
of December, I think he's on the hot seat right now.
326
00:18:06.349 --> 00:18:09.809
because this is inexcusable what has gone on because we
327
00:18:09.990 --> 00:18:11.069
saw it last season.
328
00:18:11.609 --> 00:18:15.710
And would I say it's 100% him? No. No, because
329
00:18:15.730 --> 00:18:18.230
I think it's on the players as well.
330
00:18:19.309 --> 00:18:24.329
Just the lack of intensity, the lack of urgency when
331
00:18:24.369 --> 00:18:27.730
they have some urgency. You know, we saw them, you know,
332
00:18:27.769 --> 00:18:30.119
had a goal call back, but then they did score
333
00:18:30.150 --> 00:18:32.660
that goal in the air and they actually had, you know,
334
00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:37.640
some semblance of a team that actually cares. This is
335
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:43.039
not good, Scotty. And also, I mean, forget about the analytics.
336
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.319
Forget about the talent and all that. You've got to
337
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.680
play like a team. You've got to play like a team. And,
338
00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:52.769
you know, the Ottawa Senators have great goaltending in all mark.
339
00:18:53.150 --> 00:18:54.049
They play like a team.
340
00:18:54.069 --> 00:18:57.089
This is a Travis Green coach team. A guy that
341
00:18:58.609 --> 00:19:03.130
Tom Fitzgerald let go in favor of Sheldon Keefe. And
342
00:19:03.190 --> 00:19:05.130
at the time, we're not going to play Monday morning
343
00:19:05.150 --> 00:19:09.289
quarterback here. It was the right move for both parties.
344
00:19:09.809 --> 00:19:15.789
But you could see when Travis Green was the interim
345
00:19:15.829 --> 00:19:19.509
coach of the Devils, he mentioned something, and he was
346
00:19:19.549 --> 00:19:21.670
pretty stern about it. And it's pretty ballsy for an
347
00:19:21.730 --> 00:19:24.470
interim coach that's vying for a head coaching job to
348
00:19:24.529 --> 00:19:26.470
say they're immature.
349
00:19:27.329 --> 00:19:30.730
They're immature right now, even with the new guys on
350
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.019
this team.
351
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.299
The only guys that are, except for maybe Jeffery Boatwist
352
00:19:34.779 --> 00:19:39.059
right now, and Amadeus Lombardi. That fourth line is our
353
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:43.430
best line right now. And that should not happen. That
354
00:19:43.630 --> 00:19:44.750
should not happen.
355
00:19:48.849 --> 00:19:50.609
I completely agree with you. and I think everyone else
356
00:19:50.650 --> 00:19:52.650
does here too. I mean, serve says we are a
357
00:19:52.690 --> 00:19:56.009
soft team. Seagots, the job of the coach is put
358
00:19:56.029 --> 00:19:58.690
your players in the best position to win. It's also
359
00:19:59.130 --> 00:20:01.410
to elevate and get the most out of your players.
360
00:20:01.970 --> 00:20:05.049
Can anyone say Keefe has done that after two seasons now?
361
00:20:05.410 --> 00:20:09.220
I don't know. Supernova, yeah. We're in the same nightmare
362
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:13.769
loop as what's been happening for years. True. Lil Bob's
363
00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:15.609
saying it. Trade a core player.
364
00:20:16.569 --> 00:20:21.789
This team could maybe use a shakeup like that. It's
365
00:20:21.849 --> 00:20:25.650
the players, says Adam Morgan. Defense is too slow. Manta
366
00:20:25.670 --> 00:20:28.880
should be in the press box. Serve says we blame
367
00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:29.900
the coaches every time.
368
00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:32.440
Hey, I'm just reading the comments.
369
00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:33.400
I'm just reading the comments.
370
00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:38.059
Good on Robert Isaacson. Making the big smart money bet there.
371
00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:41.599
Putting your money on the send. Scoring the first goal
372
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.599
of the night. That's a good job. That's a good job.
373
00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:47.839
Steven Tartaz. Manta looks slower than McDermott.
374
00:20:48.849 --> 00:20:53.650
I definitely feel like he looks extremely slow out there.
375
00:20:54.210 --> 00:20:54.970
He looks out of place.
376
00:20:54.990 --> 00:20:55.569
I'm not.
377
00:20:56.089 --> 00:20:57.269
He actually. I'm not.
378
00:20:57.710 --> 00:20:57.789
Yeah.
379
00:20:58.250 --> 00:20:58.450
Yeah.
380
00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:04.289
I mean, but he was a reclamation project. He had
381
00:21:04.329 --> 00:21:08.789
the good year in Pittsburgh, but it's a big gamble
382
00:21:08.809 --> 00:21:09.730
and it's a big bet.
383
00:21:11.750 --> 00:21:12.789
But it's a two-year bet, though.
384
00:21:12.849 --> 00:21:16.029
Honestly, at this point, wouldn't mind seeing old Jasper Boquist
385
00:21:16.089 --> 00:21:16.869
up there with.
386
00:21:18.369 --> 00:21:21.490
Hughes and Bratt because we know at least he's got
387
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.500
the speed to play with them. If I'm a betting man,
388
00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:29.319
I'd bet The team, whoever plays the Devils to score
389
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:30.190
first every.
390
00:21:30.049 --> 00:21:32.710
Single time, says Stephen Herschel Walker Golf.
391
00:21:33.430 --> 00:21:33.970
Yes.
392
00:21:37.250 --> 00:21:37.529
Serve.
393
00:21:37.670 --> 00:21:40.230
Every shot we took was deflected or blocked. Yeah, I mean,
394
00:21:40.230 --> 00:21:42.430
30 blocked shots tonight.
395
00:21:43.390 --> 00:21:45.819
The Sens play good defense. They get in the lanes.
396
00:21:47.940 --> 00:21:50.920
Mark Schwab says he's going to start watching some football.
397
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.440
And he means European football. So, watching that soccer.
398
00:21:55.940 --> 00:21:56.019
Yeah.
399
00:21:58.410 --> 00:22:00.470
Is this Lynn Mars over here?
400
00:22:00.910 --> 00:22:03.750
In other words, we shouldn't panic because chemistry takes time
401
00:22:03.789 --> 00:22:09.180
despite the current misery. I think we go by the
402
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:13.400
old Lou Lamorello system of after 10 games, you do
403
00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:13.980
an assessment.
404
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:20.099
These first five, not looking pretty. Not looking pretty.
405
00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:23.140
I mean, this was very, very close, Sam Wu, to
406
00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:26.009
being shut out for the second time in the first
407
00:22:26.049 --> 00:22:31.150
five games of the season. And a team on paper,
408
00:22:32.750 --> 00:22:35.390
because they haven't proven it on the ice fully yet,
409
00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:39.420
a team on paper like this should not be getting
410
00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:41.900
shut out twice in the first five.
411
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:42.920
Games of the season.
412
00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:46.140
No, they shouldn't, Scotty.
413
00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:54.369
And for Nico Dawes to go five periods plus, I'm
414
00:22:54.430 --> 00:22:55.670
not having a goal.
415
00:22:56.869 --> 00:23:01.369
Help is cause. I get it. Yeah. But you still
416
00:23:01.410 --> 00:23:02.210
need to score goals.
417
00:23:03.210 --> 00:23:07.109
Yeah. You still need to score goals. You cannot do
418
00:23:07.150 --> 00:23:10.130
that to your goaltender either. So it goes both ways.
419
00:23:11.009 --> 00:23:15.609
Nico Dawes, you know, again, look, the defense let him down.
420
00:23:16.390 --> 00:23:18.210
It would have been nice if Nico could have gotten
421
00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:20.950
a couple of those. Can you really fault him tonight?
422
00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:21.970
Not really.
423
00:23:22.009 --> 00:23:22.210
No.
424
00:23:23.089 --> 00:23:23.710
Not really.
425
00:23:23.829 --> 00:23:24.150
You can't.
426
00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:29.539
There were some positives, like killing off that five-minute penalty.
427
00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.059
That was good.
428
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:30.799
Yeah.
429
00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:33.680
That was good. Yeah.
430
00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:35.599
The fourth line looks great.
431
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.619
Now it's lines one, two, and three that are just very,
432
00:23:41.660 --> 00:23:47.200
very inconsistent. Everybody wants to know, how many games do
433
00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:48.119
you guys give Keefe?
434
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.720
Think about that. Comment in the chat. Chirp away. How
435
00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:57.029
many games... If this trend continues.
436
00:23:58.410 --> 00:24:02.180
How many games does Keefe have? Or how many games
437
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.000
does Keefe have to get this ship straightened?
438
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:11.039
25. The Met Jet Devil guy. We need to start
439
00:24:11.099 --> 00:24:13.500
seeing some scoring. Seems like part two of last year.
440
00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:19.420
Yeah, I'm giving him 25 games or less.
441
00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.920
You're giving him 25 games.
442
00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:25.720
Adam Morgan, Dawes doesn't deserve any blame. Defense is slow
443
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.819
and out of place. I mean, the lanes were wide
444
00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:30.880
open on all those goals. I don't really think you
445
00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:34.710
can blame Nico Dawes on those goals. The one was
446
00:24:34.829 --> 00:24:37.289
kind of like, damn it, you know, when Brett Pesci
447
00:24:37.890 --> 00:24:42.769
blew a tire there and fell down. But even the
448
00:24:42.849 --> 00:24:45.480
other two, the one with Stutzel and the first goal,
449
00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:47.809
I mean... They were just left wide open. And if
450
00:24:48.390 --> 00:24:52.089
Evangelista didn't do that hooking call on the other one,
451
00:24:52.109 --> 00:24:56.210
it probably would have been another goal. An easy just
452
00:24:56.410 --> 00:24:59.230
dump into the back of the net. Because the lane
453
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.680
was wide open and Dawson's got to play the side
454
00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:03.480
over here where the puck is. When it comes across,
455
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.059
he's got to get all the way across the other side. No.
456
00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:11.180
Stephen Herschel Walker.
457
00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:14.329
Manta was the 30-goal scorer here. Makes you wonder if
458
00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:19.650
it's a system flaw. that's an interesting thing.
459
00:25:20.690 --> 00:25:24.450
Well, just remember, I mean, Sonny Maida inherited this team.
460
00:25:25.230 --> 00:25:27.910
He made some changes, but, you know, again, still the
461
00:25:27.970 --> 00:25:29.440
core is still with.
462
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:30.460
This team, Scotty.
463
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:31.839
Yeah.
464
00:25:32.900 --> 00:25:36.099
You know, I like what Maida did, keeping with Sheldon Keefe,
465
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:41.859
because for his sake, you kept that continuity, but he
466
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:44.539
has that ace up his sleeve in his back pocket.
467
00:25:46.809 --> 00:25:50.549
somewhere 25-30 game mark, if you need to make a change,
468
00:25:50.630 --> 00:25:53.569
he has that. Instead of going with his guy right
469
00:25:53.609 --> 00:25:57.349
off the bat. I'm confident in Sonny Maeda. Just seeing
470
00:25:57.410 --> 00:26:03.559
the resurrection or the early results in Utica right now.
471
00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:09.240
I'd rather again, let the process play out, but really
472
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.539
you cannot come out to these games.
473
00:26:12.609 --> 00:26:15.369
So flat No energy.
474
00:26:16.109 --> 00:26:19.529
And, you know, I like the Brendan Dillon hit, but
475
00:26:19.809 --> 00:26:22.230
it got him a big penalty.
476
00:26:22.309 --> 00:26:23.690
It was an interference call, yeah.
477
00:26:24.190 --> 00:26:28.309
You know, the Manta, I mean, I.
478
00:26:30.339 --> 00:26:30.630
Don't know.
479
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:33.940
I thought maybe he blew a tire, but at the
480
00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:36.460
same time, that was boarding. But that five minutes?
481
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.359
No, it was boarding. It was boarding. It was boring.
482
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.509
It was bad. Watching the replay.
483
00:26:41.529 --> 00:26:43.630
You guys, you may not have seen the replays in
484
00:26:43.670 --> 00:26:46.170
the arena like we saw on TV.
485
00:26:46.289 --> 00:26:50.549
Well, I was eating my salad when the replays were happening.
486
00:26:50.569 --> 00:26:53.630
I was enjoying good food.
487
00:26:55.230 --> 00:26:56.750
Ariel says, I guess we don't want to play for
488
00:26:56.789 --> 00:27:00.579
Dawes either. What is the problem with these players? All right.
489
00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:05.220
Little Bubs gives Keefe seven to ten games. Serve is
490
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:09.890
saying 15 games. Lynn Mars here says 15 games tops
491
00:27:12.150 --> 00:27:14.109
Supernova says I've never seen a team miss the net
492
00:27:14.150 --> 00:27:16.650
as much as they do I know Stephen Herschel Walker
493
00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:19.349
is it a system issue Ariel says 20 games is
494
00:27:19.410 --> 00:27:23.160
enough oh my goodness hey what's up oh my goodness
495
00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:26.539
welcome back to the chat Sonny has mentioned 20 games
496
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:32.960
is a point where he considers re-evaluation okay and that's
497
00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:36.779
right Mark Schwab the Sens 5-1.
498
00:27:35.549 --> 00:27:36.809
Without Brady Kachuk.
499
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:43.490
Isn't that something? A team concept and good goaltending.
500
00:27:44.829 --> 00:27:45.289
What a concept.
501
00:27:45.309 --> 00:27:50.109
Adam Morgan, Manta had Malkin on his Pittsburgh line. Yeah,
502
00:27:50.130 --> 00:27:52.109
but he's got frigging Jack Hughes and Jesper Brett on
503
00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:58.029
his New Jersey Devils line. Seagot says, can we break
504
00:27:58.130 --> 00:28:04.299
up Nico and Timo? I mean, hey, they actually scored
505
00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:06.039
when Timo was playing with Jack and Gritz.
506
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:13.680
15 more. Codex is 50 more games till Torts. Eddie
507
00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:15.200
says he agrees with Sam.
508
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:15.609
25 games.
509
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:17.190
Robert Isaacson.
510
00:28:17.230 --> 00:28:25.650
Keith is not getting through October. Jack and Brat need
511
00:28:25.670 --> 00:28:26.869
to be broken up as well.
512
00:28:27.509 --> 00:28:28.789
I mean, maybe they do.
513
00:28:29.210 --> 00:28:29.650
You know what?
514
00:28:30.490 --> 00:28:31.150
It's a good point.
515
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:34.880
Switch the whole damn thing up because other than the
516
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.400
fourth line, you're not really getting a lot of, you know,
517
00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:38.789
positive momentum here.
518
00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:39.849
And it does.
519
00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:44.250
This seems like a lot of the same issues that
520
00:28:44.269 --> 00:28:48.190
we were talking about last season already, already.
521
00:28:48.210 --> 00:28:52.109
And I think Sam, you hit the nail on the head.
522
00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:54.710
That's why it seems so frustrating for fans because this
523
00:28:54.769 --> 00:28:58.170
is like, it's just like we, you know, it's like,
524
00:28:58.190 --> 00:28:58.589
it's like one of.
525
00:28:58.589 --> 00:28:59.950
Those walking dead moments.
526
00:29:00.529 --> 00:29:03.430
Mid season finales where then you got to wait like
527
00:29:03.450 --> 00:29:04.450
a month or two.
528
00:29:04.529 --> 00:29:06.190
And then it comes back for another.
529
00:29:06.049 --> 00:29:08.769
Eight episodes, which by the way, that show got so,
530
00:29:09.509 --> 00:29:11.710
so dragged out. I had to stop watching it, but
531
00:29:12.130 --> 00:29:14.200
that's what I feel like with the devil's fans here.
532
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.779
It's like, it's just a continuation of last season. It
533
00:29:17.819 --> 00:29:19.960
doesn't feel like a fresh start with this team. Like
534
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:24.140
maybe we were all hoping it would, there are some
535
00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:27.410
new guys on the team, but you, yeah, you're seeing
536
00:29:27.450 --> 00:29:28.390
a lot of the same stuff.
537
00:29:29.579 --> 00:29:30.329
Old Yellard.
538
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:35.349
That's what it feels like putting the season behind the barn.
539
00:29:36.609 --> 00:29:37.700
But we're really early on.
540
00:29:39.740 --> 00:29:42.299
Uh ariel team has no identity we lost our culture
541
00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:45.640
that took so long to build uh oh my goodness
542
00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:47.599
yeah timo grits jack hey that's the that's the.
543
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.019
One line to put the goal.
544
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.369
In net let's bring in harbaugh that's right bring in
545
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:54.849
john harbaugh maybe he can coach the team.
546
00:29:55.049 --> 00:29:57.529
Well, Isaiah Likely was at the game a couple rows
547
00:29:57.569 --> 00:29:58.569
in front of me.
548
00:29:58.630 --> 00:29:59.529
Hey, there we go.
549
00:29:59.849 --> 00:30:00.549
There we go.
550
00:30:02.890 --> 00:30:03.549
Yeah, I don't know.
551
00:30:03.589 --> 00:30:06.279
They need to, I mean, I don't know if it's
552
00:30:06.380 --> 00:30:09.019
the coach, if it's some of the players, if it's
553
00:30:09.059 --> 00:30:13.279
a combination of both, but something's got to give with
554
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:16.359
this team, and I'm going to put my faith in
555
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:20.960
Sonny Mehta to be able to make the right call
556
00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:25.769
for what's best for the New Jersey Devils. Not what's
557
00:30:25.869 --> 00:30:32.670
best for a couple players or whatnot. Who's what is
558
00:30:32.849 --> 00:30:39.039
best for this team? Maybe there needs to be some
559
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:43.880
more of that old Lou Lamorello mentality of crest on
560
00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:45.660
the front, not name on the back.
561
00:30:46.059 --> 00:30:46.440
Agreed.
562
00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:50.700
Let's play together as a team. That fourth line seems
563
00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.380
to be doing it.
564
00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:58.819
Lombardi, Boquist, and Glass, that's the best line that you're
565
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:02.400
throwing out there? Those guys are playing with each other,
566
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:04.319
and they're playing to each other's strengths.
567
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:13.990
And they're hustling. I don't know. I don't know. But yeah,
568
00:31:14.289 --> 00:31:18.250
definitely feel a little bit frustrated. Corbin, there you go.
569
00:31:18.250 --> 00:31:18.630
Zero accountability.
570
00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:19.430
Zero accountability.
571
00:31:25.849 --> 00:31:29.529
And serve, I don't know if he practices face-offs or not.
572
00:31:32.150 --> 00:31:34.730
But again, only game five.
573
00:31:35.349 --> 00:31:39.099
Trying to spin a positive light here. We do see
574
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:44.460
the fourth line getting going. We have seen some, again,
575
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.599
I don't think Nico Dawes played bad today.
576
00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:50.400
And Jake the Snake has played well.
577
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.220
But the defense definitely looks out of sync.
578
00:31:55.789 --> 00:31:56.529
They're not.
579
00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:58.720
Filling up the lanes.
580
00:31:58.740 --> 00:32:03.819
They're not blocking shots like they should be. And took
581
00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:09.220
a lot of penalties. Took a lot of penalties. And
582
00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:15.309
once again, the five-on-five play. One goal, five-on-five. If you
583
00:32:15.329 --> 00:32:17.549
don't score on the power play, if you can stop
584
00:32:17.589 --> 00:32:18.829
this team's power play, I.
585
00:32:21.549 --> 00:32:21.829
Don't know.
586
00:32:21.910 --> 00:32:23.049
I don't know what they're going to do.
587
00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:31.000
But they have to figure this out and get this
588
00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:32.059
ship righted.
589
00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:34.900
And lucky for them, they got.
590
00:32:34.819 --> 00:32:40.799
Another opportunity tomorrow night in Detroit. The Frozen Frenzy.
591
00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:43.849
And this is going to be a national game on ESPN.
592
00:32:43.869 --> 00:32:45.700
So they have a lot of eyes on them. They
593
00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:50.170
can really go out there. Seagots, I mean, I wouldn't
594
00:32:50.190 --> 00:32:54.039
be surprised if... If you see Silev come into the
595
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:56.440
lineup at some point this season, I don't know when
596
00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.700
that's going to happen, but I would think at some
597
00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.769
point it will.
598
00:33:01.009 --> 00:33:01.680
Probably not.
599
00:33:01.789 --> 00:33:05.069
I don't know how close Kovacevic is. I know he's practicing,
600
00:33:05.109 --> 00:33:08.710
so we'll see. But they're going to have another chance
601
00:33:08.769 --> 00:33:13.109
to right this wrong again tomorrow night in three more
602
00:33:13.170 --> 00:33:16.950
games this week. So let's see if they can get
603
00:33:17.049 --> 00:33:19.910
themselves into a groove.
604
00:33:20.329 --> 00:33:20.720
Damn it.
605
00:33:22.869 --> 00:33:26.450
And start playing some hockey the way we expect this
606
00:33:26.509 --> 00:33:29.750
team to play. And, of course, we're going to have
607
00:33:29.789 --> 00:33:31.450
it all covered for you here at the Let's Go
608
00:33:31.470 --> 00:33:32.670
Devils Podcast Network.
609
00:33:32.710 --> 00:33:35.210
We have some more game day live action tomorrow.
610
00:33:35.930 --> 00:33:39.039
Get your cup of morning woo and a woo report
611
00:33:39.099 --> 00:33:43.059
as well. And, of course, Devils After Dark after the
612
00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:44.279
early start time.
613
00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:47.039
Don't forget, 6 p.m. Eastern time.
614
00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:51.430
That's 3 o'clock for your boy Scotty out here.
615
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:56.240
On the West Coast. So, we're gonna be rockin' and
616
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:00.700
rollin' early, early on, and hopefully.
617
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:02.599
Talking about a Devils rebound.
618
00:34:04.099 --> 00:34:08.820
Because they need to get goin'. They need to get goin'. Definitely.
619
00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:12.780
And tomorrow, we will be at Miller's Ale House in
620
00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:18.280
beautiful Rockaway, New Jersey, for game day live, Devils After Dark,
621
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:23.400

Ale House in beautiful Rockaway, New Jersey. Going to try

to get there by 5 p.m., set up, do game
628
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:45.440
day live. We'll try to do some intermission interviews with
629
00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:49.809
our favorite, New Jersey Devils of all time.
630
00:34:50.489 --> 00:34:55.010
Can't wait for that, Scotty. And bad loss today, folks,
631
00:34:55.070 --> 00:34:56.030
but keep your head up.
632
00:34:58.030 --> 00:35:00.750
You got to just go on to the next one,
633
00:35:01.369 --> 00:35:04.010
which is tomorrow, starting at 6 p.m.
634
00:35:04.289 --> 00:35:09.010
Eastern in Detroit. So I want to thank all those
635
00:35:09.110 --> 00:35:09.809
tuning in.
636
00:35:09.829 --> 00:35:15.949
I want to thank Frank the Tank, American Whiskey, Kevin, Casey, Kendall, Michael,
637
00:35:16.849 --> 00:35:22.280
All the waiters and waitresses, Alejandra, Barbara, the rest.
638
00:35:22.099 --> 00:35:25.460
Of the crew. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
639
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:29.639
And just remember, also, the next time we're here, big
640
00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:32.860
stage at American Whiskey for Devil's Rangers.
641
00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:35.679
That should be an interesting one. Maybe we'll get shut
642
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.699
down again. I don't know. But anyway, getting out of here.
643
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:40.539
Thank you, Scotty. Thank you to everybody.
644
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.119
Drop in the podcast in about 20 minutes.
645
00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:45.670
Until next time, let's go Devils.
646
00:35:55.500 --> 00:35:55.639
Bye.
