on the Let's Go Devils Network, as the Devils win,
8
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.100
is it 5-1, Scotty?
9
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.579
That is 5-1, yeah. This looks like an incorrect heading
10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.399
over here.
11
00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:46.640
In the old YouTube chat there, Sam.
12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:47.700
We've got to get on it.
13
00:00:48.299 --> 00:00:51.619
I thought I asked you before we went on.
14
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:54.320
I did.
15
00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:55.219
I said 5-1.
16
00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:59.640
Oh, I asked if it was 4-1. Now everybody's knocking
17
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.420
my title. Should we start over?
18
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:03.820
No.
19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:04.480
No.
20
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.420
But if you want to go fix it, you can
21
00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:06.739
go ahead.
22
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:07.560
Yeah. Yeah.
23
00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:08.530
Yeah. Just for later.
24
00:01:09.109 --> 00:01:09.769
Yeah. Yeah.
25
00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:10.129
Okay.
26
00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:13.469
All right. Yeah. It happens.
27
00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:16.010
We'll update. No worries.
28
00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:18.689
I don't remember the fifth goal. Maybe I doze off.
29
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:20.349
Maybe that's what it was.
30
00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:23.560
I don't know. I don't know. I guess we'll have
31
00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:27.129
to find out. But yeah. What's up, everybody? Hey. See
32
00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:30.430
all the turps going away. In the old YouTube chat,
33
00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:36.750
get on in there. Max, yes. Beat me up, yes. Yes,
34
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:42.340
it's 5-1. We know. Not 4-1. 5-1, Devils. In this
35
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:45.739
big victory, what's up? Corbin and Roman. Max, Art Heaton.
36
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:46.359
Beat me up.
37
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.989
Little Bub. Supernova. Grizzlad. AJ, Eddie, Robert, Isaacson. Serve. Ooh,
38
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:58.810
what's this? Hexes. Uh, okay. Hexes.
39
00:01:58.939 --> 00:01:59.540
There we go.
40
00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:08.340
Lynn bars. What's going on? Uh, BK. Rocal. Okay.
41
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:09.719
That's a new one. What's up?
42
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.650
Got a lot of noobs coming in here to tell, uh, Sam. Well,
43
00:02:12.669 --> 00:02:18.330
they got his score wrong. Chris lad, Eric gob, John.
44
00:02:18.389 --> 00:02:19.069
He in.
45
00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:23.060
Man. We got everyone chiming in. Steven Tartas.
46
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.590
What is going on? That's right, Robert Isaacson. As you
47
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.909
heard here on the Let's Go Devils podcast network, Jimmy Dowd. Actually,
48
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:36.189
that was a Devils After Dark as well. Jimmy Dowd
49
00:02:36.229 --> 00:02:39.729
talking about team defense. Look at what happens when they
50
00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:40.030
play a.
51
00:02:40.009 --> 00:02:42.270
Little team defense.
52
00:02:42.370 --> 00:02:46.810
Game number 12 on the road down there in Dallas, Texas.
53
00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:49.210
Jay Snow, what's going on?
54
00:02:49.229 --> 00:02:52.330
Let's see.
55
00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:56.710
This is Glaret. Tyler Dunn?
56
00:02:56.729 --> 00:02:57.310
I don't know.
57
00:02:59.419 --> 00:03:04.080
I'm sure that probably spells out something witty that I'm
58
00:03:04.099 --> 00:03:04.800
missing right now.
59
00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:06.240
That's okay.
60
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.159
I'll get it eventually. Don't worry.
61
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.229
Stanley. Man.
62
00:03:13.909 --> 00:03:15.569
Everyone is ready to go.
63
00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:22.229
But yes, down there in Dallas, which we know the
64
00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:24.710
best part of playing the Dallas Stars is you get
65
00:03:24.729 --> 00:03:28.780
to hear Pantera played on the loudspeaker. during the game
66
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.800
in the arena. We don't like to hear the Dallas
67
00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:34.280
Stars goal song as much, but, you know, getting that
68
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.960
Cowboys from hell and a little walk action going.
69
00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:38.979
I'm all about that.
70
00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:44.120
At the old hockey game. For Vinny and Dime, that's right,
71
00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:45.500
the pink beard up in the sky.
72
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.060
Looking all down on us. Throwing the Stanley Cup off
73
00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:52.060
the roof. Whoops, we missed the pool.
74
00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:55.439
And now there's a massive dent. Good stories there. down
75
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.009
in Texas with the Abbott brothers. Either way, let's play
76
00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:01.150
some team defense.
77
00:04:02.110 --> 00:04:04.370
Welcome back, Brendan Dillon, into the lineup.
78
00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:10.629
And hello, Helly Bucky, whatever one you prefer to be called,
79
00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:11.879
Helly or Bucky.
80
00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:17.920
Helly Bucky, there you go. Looking like he's locked in
81
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:21.639
before the puck even drops. Love seeing that. Going against
82
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:22.740
a team.
83
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.680
That plays pretty damn good defense themselves in the Dallas Stars.
84
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:32.430
Second best PK in the league. Let's start talking about
85
00:04:32.470 --> 00:04:35.529
it here. First period, the Devils are wasting no time,
86
00:04:35.589 --> 00:04:39.379
which is a positive trend we have been seeing now.
87
00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:42.060
And I think you can call it a trend.
88
00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:45.899
In the last six, seven, eight games now, the Devils
89
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.399
not giving up the early goal.
90
00:04:49.310 --> 00:04:52.050
And having to chase the game, but rather scoring themselves.
91
00:04:52.089 --> 00:04:55.990
And this time it is the captain leading the way
92
00:04:56.089 --> 00:05:01.420
with his sixth goal of the year. And what a
93
00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:06.519
goal it was over here. Starting in the neutral zone.
94
00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:10.180
The puck gets chipped ahead. Nico gets it. Two on
95
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.019
one with, I believe it was Timo Meier there, right?
96
00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:19.339
And Nico lets the Stars D-man. Just kind of like,
97
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.540
and then right out of your camera shot there. Just
98
00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:26.860
right out, just sliding by, looking for the hip check
99
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:30.990
or something. And yeah, he's just like, right on by.
100
00:05:31.430 --> 00:05:34.449
As Nico Heischer, instead of passing it over, decides to
101
00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:35.529
cut across.
102
00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:40.069
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's the second goal I'm getting.
103
00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:43.300
Hang on, hang on.
104
00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:48.930
Timo, okay, this starts a defensive play. To reach the puck,
105
00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:53.759
poke it, feed Timo Meier. And then Nico Hicher, he's
106
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.079
not watching the play. He's getting into it. Gets the
107
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.360
motor going. He wants to be the trailer.
108
00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:05.790
Wait. I'm all confused. Hang on. Feeling like Sam Wu here.
109
00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:08.350
Yeah, it sucks, right?
110
00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:09.939
But hey.
111
00:06:10.029 --> 00:06:13.500
Now I'm reading my second period highlights instead of my
112
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.980
first period highlights.
113
00:06:15.509 --> 00:06:17.670
Sounds like you didn't watch the game and you're just
114
00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:18.870
reading off Cliff notes.
115
00:06:21.029 --> 00:06:24.050
Well, I got my notes here. I got my notes here. Okay.
116
00:06:24.069 --> 00:06:26.269
I'm only joking. Joking. All right.
117
00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:29.829
So it starts in the neutral zone. I swear this time.
118
00:06:29.870 --> 00:06:32.500
All right. The puck gets chipped ahead. Nico gets it.
119
00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:36.490
Two on one with Timo. And then Nico.
120
00:06:36.529 --> 00:06:36.730
Yes.
121
00:06:36.769 --> 00:06:37.449
Let's the stars.
122
00:06:37.470 --> 00:06:41.970
Demon slide right out of your TV screen picture. And
123
00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:45.279
then he cuts across the center slot. Timo screening right
124
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:48.939
in front and Nico puts it in far side there.
125
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.160
And then the Dallas.
126
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.720
Stars, because there was contact with the goaltender Casey to
127
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.160
Smith with Timo Meyer, but you'll notice Timo skates just
128
00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:01.639
into the blue paint, but then he pulls his skate
129
00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:06.000
back out. He pulls it back out before there was
130
00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:08.990
contact made. So the stars, well, when you're the second
131
00:07:09.029 --> 00:07:11.790
best PK in the league, you can take a chance
132
00:07:11.829 --> 00:07:15.470
like that and challenge that goal. even though you may
133
00:07:15.529 --> 00:07:19.069
not be sure 100% if there was goaltender interference on there.
134
00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:21.730
After a really quick review.
135
00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:26.379
Surprised, shocking, I thought it would be at least a
136
00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:29.579
10-minute review for the officials trying to find something that
137
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:29.959
they can.
138
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.889
Call goaltender interference on. It has ruled a good goal.
139
00:07:34.550 --> 00:07:41.189
And in the national, a failed challenge like that, Results
140
00:07:41.329 --> 00:07:45.009
in a delay of game penalty. So not only did
141
00:07:45.029 --> 00:07:48.100
the Devils go up 1-0 at 2.41 of the first
142
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.399
period by your captain, Nico Heischer, getting his sixth of
143
00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:54.879
the year, assisted by Evangelista.
144
00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:57.879
And Gianni Kovacevic. Now they go on the power play.
145
00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:02.009
Which unfortunately, you know, nothing really too much happened there,
146
00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:04.310
but that's okay.
147
00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:05.029
All right?
148
00:08:05.370 --> 00:08:09.730
Going to get like Stuart Smalley there, and that's... Okay.
149
00:08:09.810 --> 00:08:10.129
All right.
150
00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:12.870
We move into the second with the Devils up 1-0.
151
00:08:13.110 --> 00:08:17.589
And once again, early on in the period. And so
152
00:08:17.649 --> 00:08:21.329
far this year, the second period has been quite the
153
00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:24.240
period for the New Jersey Hockey Devils.
154
00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.560
And tonight they're putting up a three spot. But it
155
00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:28.300
is your captain once again.
156
00:08:29.329 --> 00:08:33.570
Now with his team leading seventh goal of the year
157
00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:36.690
and his second of the game coming from Luke Hughes
158
00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:42.269
and Timo Meyer. And this started out with a defensive
159
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.740
play by Luke Hughes to reach out and poke the
160
00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:51.840
puck forward. And Timo gets on his horse and he's going.
161
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.159
And once again, you get Nico. He sure he's not
162
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.039
watching the play.
163
00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.279
He gets his motor running.
164
00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:05.519
Skates are skating with speeds of blazing, blades of steel.
165
00:09:08.450 --> 00:09:10.149
And he's getting in there to be the trailer.
166
00:09:10.169 --> 00:09:12.029
So now Timo Meyers in there on a two-hour woman,
167
00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:18.529
Luke Evangelista, and instead of passing it across, which everyone
168
00:09:18.590 --> 00:09:20.529
and their mother was thinking they were going to do,
169
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.399
he throws it back to the inside upper face-off circle.
170
00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:32.649
For one, Nico Heischer right there. And bam!
171
00:09:35.990 --> 00:09:42.429
Into the back of the net. The puck goes. Slamming
172
00:09:42.470 --> 00:09:46.860
it home. Far side for another goal. 38 seconds into
173
00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:47.740
the second period.
174
00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:48.340
Devils are up 2-0.
175
00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:59.809
That's Nico's 7th. From Timo Mayer and Luke Hughes. Now,
176
00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:04.909
was this the one? Oh, that was the Luke goal before.
177
00:10:04.970 --> 00:10:06.850
That's after. Okay, we'll talk about that.
178
00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:11.620
But the Devils weren't done because then someone who has,
179
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.779
you know, reemerged on this New Jersey Devils team and
180
00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:19.059
has been doing a damn good job already in his
181
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:24.169
bottom six role. Jesper Boquist gets his fourth goal of
182
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:27.049
the season. Bet you didn't have that on your bingo
183
00:10:27.090 --> 00:10:31.110
card in the first 15 games or so of this year.
184
00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:33.240
But Jesper Boquist gets his fourth of the year coming
185
00:10:33.250 --> 00:10:37.960
from jumping Jack Flash, Jack Hughes, and Arseny Gritsyuk to
186
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:43.379
put the Devils up 3-0 at 11.45.
187
00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:46.080
This was a nice little quick give and go after
188
00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:47.100
the Devils.
189
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:51.860
Have had the Stars pinned in their defensive zone. Jesper
190
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.620
Boquist actually makes a line change. That's why it's an
191
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.480
assisted by Hughes and Gritsiuk.
192
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.480
They didn't get off the ice because they're pinned in.
193
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:03.500
But Jesper Bratt is able to get off.
194
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.570
And Jesper Boquist comes on the ice.
195
00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:06.090
Boom.
196
00:11:06.490 --> 00:11:07.350
Right into the play.
197
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.850
Jack Hughes, quick little give and go into the back
198
00:11:09.889 --> 00:11:16.169
of the net. Devils up 3-0. Now after that, man,
199
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:16.990
Brendan Dillon.
200
00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:18.149
Dillon!
201
00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:24.360
Son of a bitch making his presence felt with a massive.
202
00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:31.039
Earth shattering or shaking earth shattering glass shattering earth shaking
203
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.620
yeah that's that's what i meant to say something like
204
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:38.529
that uh hit on lundquist there in the neutral zone
205
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:43.330
i mean he flattens him lundquist had his head down
206
00:11:43.490 --> 00:11:46.509
boom right into the chest uh your captain mr jamie
207
00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:48.929
ben comes over and says i don't like you doing
208
00:11:48.970 --> 00:11:52.379
that To my teammates, but we know Brendan Dillon and Ben,
209
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.440
long history together. So they just kind of rustle and
210
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:59.580
don't throw any punches at each other and say, I'm
211
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.539
just going to grab your jersey and I'm just going
212
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.419
to grab your jersey and we're not going to hit
213
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:05.879
each other because we really like each other.
214
00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:08.759
But that was a hard, hard check on my teammate there.
215
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.820
Old Dilly. We miss you doing that on our team.
216
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:20.129
So. Nothing really happens there, literally. Neither person threw a punch.
217
00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:22.809
They kind of slammed each other up against the glass.
218
00:12:22.570 --> 00:12:24.509
For a little bit, and that was it.
219
00:12:24.789 --> 00:12:29.779
Yet somehow Jamie Benn got an instigator and a misconduct.
220
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.059
I don't like these instigator calls. I don't think anyone
221
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.100
does coming out like that.
222
00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:43.690
When you're gooning and you're chasing someone down, That maybe doesn't.
223
00:12:43.470 --> 00:12:46.090
Want to drop a glass. You know, Brendan Dillon, he's
224
00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:46.990
a willing combatant.
225
00:12:48.889 --> 00:12:49.269
I don't know.
226
00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:51.870
I don't like the instigator calls in there. I think
227
00:12:51.909 --> 00:12:52.490
it's kind of weak.
228
00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:52.850
Great.
229
00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:54.809
You know, I love that it gave the Devils a
230
00:12:54.830 --> 00:13:00.830
power play. But still, not a huge fan of giving
231
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:05.009
the instigator out there. It's not like JV was like
232
00:13:05.789 --> 00:13:08.269
threw his gloves off and was chasing Brendan Dillon down.
233
00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:10.309
I mean, they got there. Hey, you're going to go. Boom.
234
00:13:11.690 --> 00:13:12.610
Is that an instigator?
235
00:13:12.809 --> 00:13:13.230
I don't know.
236
00:13:13.269 --> 00:13:14.450
My book, no.
237
00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:15.490
Maybe I'm a little old school.
238
00:13:15.629 --> 00:13:16.009
I'm old.
239
00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:21.570
I'm in my mid-40s now. But yeah, it gave the
240
00:13:21.590 --> 00:13:24.019
Devils a power play.
241
00:13:24.299 --> 00:13:26.700
But if this was reversed, man, would I be pissed
242
00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:30.240
off if that instigator call was going against Dillon or
243
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:35.039
something like that. Either way, the Devils don't get a
244
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.789
power play goal. But the Dallas Stars do get on
245
00:13:38.830 --> 00:13:45.110
the board. At 1608 of the second period, finally getting
246
00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:45.669
one pass.
247
00:13:45.710 --> 00:13:47.970
Connor Hellebuck, who looked, you know, I.
248
00:13:47.970 --> 00:13:50.190
Mean, for a guy who hasn't played in the NHL
249
00:13:50.409 --> 00:13:53.830
at all this season so far, I'm sure there's some
250
00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:59.779
things he will improve upon. But overall, dude looked pretty
251
00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:03.940
frigging solid back there to me. And he's only going
252
00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:10.179
to get better as he rounds into midseason form. Perfect tip,
253
00:14:10.230 --> 00:14:12.610
by the way, by the Dallas Stars. That's how they
254
00:14:12.629 --> 00:14:14.649
beat Connor Hellebuck.
255
00:14:15.409 --> 00:14:15.970
Hellebucky.
256
00:14:17.590 --> 00:14:21.320
Long-range shot coming from the point and a beautiful tip
257
00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:25.019
right in front that redirects the shot down and away
258
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.059
past Helle and into the back of the net.
259
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:29.240
So, okay, 3-1.
260
00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:33.149
New Jersey Devils still on top.
261
00:14:34.370 --> 00:14:34.909
But we know.
262
00:14:35.509 --> 00:14:38.429
The Dallas Stars, you know, they're a really damn good team.
263
00:14:38.450 --> 00:14:41.169
They got some big scorers over there, too. Robertson, Wyatt Johnson.
264
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.220
They can bounce right back into this very, very easily.
265
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.500
But a mere 28 seconds later.
266
00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:57.159
What's that? Oh, he's allowed to do football calls again?
267
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.539
Still sleeping on the couch. Well, I mean, that is
268
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.210
your right, Mrs.
269
00:15:02.250 --> 00:15:02.490
Wu.
270
00:15:02.610 --> 00:15:03.110
I mean....
271
00:15:04.429 --> 00:15:07.389
He did open his mouth a few times and say
272
00:15:07.409 --> 00:15:09.889
it was your fault when we all know Mrs.
273
00:15:09.909 --> 00:15:13.240
Wu is never wrong. We should go.
274
00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:16.080
But you want me to remind him he's still on
275
00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:16.419
the couch.
276
00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:17.139
No problem.
277
00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:23.000
Okay. Just got the word that Sam Wu will still
278
00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:26.340
be sleeping on the couch tonight. No pillows either or
279
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.509
cushions on that couch. Just the hard spring of it
280
00:15:31.190 --> 00:15:33.929
to make his life a little bit more miserable. But
281
00:15:34.649 --> 00:15:37.309
we do need to go to the Let's Go Devils
282
00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:41.600
podcast studios for this game update.
283
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.259
This Devils After Dark game update with the man of
284
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.980
the hour, the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Sam,
285
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:50.720
by God, woo.
286
00:16:11.789 --> 00:16:15.809
This game update is brought to you by American Whiskey.
287
00:16:16.389 --> 00:16:21.990
American Whiskey, celebrate another devil's victory with us.
288
00:16:23.950 --> 00:16:24.509
Devils!
289
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:32.080
Stars in Dallas. It's the nose tackle.
290
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:41.470
Connor Hellebuck's Devil's debut. 78 degrees, 5 mile per hour winds.
291
00:16:42.009 --> 00:16:42.950
No problem.
292
00:16:43.870 --> 00:16:52.539
Devil's driving. Hamilton out of the shotgun. Mantha snaps. He
293
00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:57.879
hands off to Luke Hughes. Luke runs to the right.
294
00:16:58.379 --> 00:17:01.429
He runs to the left. To the 30.
295
00:17:01.429 --> 00:17:02.250
The 20.
296
00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:02.809
It's in.
297
00:17:03.429 --> 00:17:04.849
Touchdown, Devils.
298
00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:11.470
Touchdown, Devils. The $ 9 million man does it again.
299
00:17:11.490 --> 00:17:15.910
The New Jersey Devils are America's team.
300
00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:18.819
Are you ready, New Jersey?
301
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.670
Woo!
302
00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.660
Wow.
303
00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:28.180
Look at that. Football call with the helmet. I mean,
304
00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:32.069
the helmet really makes it special. I miss the helmet.
305
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.809
You know, when we're at American Whiskey, say we may
306
00:17:35.869 --> 00:17:38.670
need to find you a, you know, a helmet to
307
00:17:38.750 --> 00:17:41.339
store at American Whiskey and one to store at home
308
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:44.900
because that helmet just, I mean, it really, it really
309
00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:45.980
seals the deal right there.
310
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.259
Sometimes I wonder if you prolong your monologues. So I
311
00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:53.460
could wear this helmet like longer on my head because
312
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:58.220
I could feel my head got bigger. My head got bigger, uh,
313
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:02.460
from last season. And, uh, you.
314
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:05.240
Know, when you put a bandaid too tight around your
315
00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:07.539
finger and it just starts pulsating, that's.
316
00:18:07.630 --> 00:18:11.450
That's poor Sam. Every time he puts that helmet on
317
00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:11.910
his head.
318
00:18:11.930 --> 00:18:12.210
Yeah.
319
00:18:12.269 --> 00:18:18.410
It's just like, Oh, what a football call there by
320
00:18:18.450 --> 00:18:19.089
the legend.
321
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.539
Sam, by God, Wu.
322
00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:27.140
Mrs. Wu says she'll allow him to have the cushions back,
323
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.920
but no pillows.
324
00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.819
So there you go.
325
00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:33.740
Sam's winning some brownie points here. Getting himself back on track.
326
00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:36.549
Maybe he might get a blanket by the end of
327
00:18:36.569 --> 00:18:36.880
the show.
328
00:18:37.589 --> 00:18:42.210
Who knows? We'll have to wait and see. But either way, Luke.
329
00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:47.119
You underestimate my power. That's right.
330
00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:51.730
Luke Hughes gets his second point of the game in
331
00:18:51.769 --> 00:18:52.569
this time.
332
00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:57.190
It's the fourth goal for the New Jersey Devils to
333
00:18:57.210 --> 00:18:58.289
put them up 4-1.
334
00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:02.069
And what a response 28 seconds later.
335
00:19:03.029 --> 00:19:05.380
Oh, Dallas Stars, you think you're getting back into this game?
336
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.220
Quick, hold my Lone Star beer while we're down here
337
00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:12.720
in Texas. Because I need to go and get some
338
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.789
stuff done over here so.
339
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.750
We can old yellow you behind the barn. That's right.
340
00:19:18.849 --> 00:19:24.549
Luke Hughes. I mean, he's spinning this way. He's skating
341
00:19:24.609 --> 00:19:29.220
that way. He's stick handling. He's got the puck possession.
342
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.359
By the end of this little thing, I didn't even
343
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:36.000
realize Dougie Hamilton had the assist on this one.
344
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.329
Because the whole highlight is really Luke Hughes.
345
00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:46.289
Just skating around, avoiding Dallas stars, doing little stick handles.
346
00:19:47.069 --> 00:19:48.349
He's got that spin.
347
00:19:48.069 --> 00:19:51.670
Move along the along the blue line down pat. But
348
00:19:51.730 --> 00:19:55.000
by the end of his little venture there in the zone,
349
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:58.000
I wish I had the John Madden, like, you know, uh,
350
00:19:59.859 --> 00:20:01.319
telestrator or whatever it's called.
351
00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:05.119
So I can, I let it go. And boom, see this,
352
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.779
he does a spin and it moves.
353
00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:08.990
I mean, we get Nicholas cage to come in here and, uh,
354
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.640
do a Madden prompter.
355
00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:18.390
For one of these goals from Luke Hughes. By the
356
00:20:18.430 --> 00:20:23.430
time Luke is done dancing around the ice there, literally
357
00:20:23.529 --> 00:20:27.049
there are four Dallas Stars around him.
358
00:20:28.150 --> 00:20:28.589
Four!
359
00:20:30.950 --> 00:20:37.789
He attracted four Dallas Stars and then somehow is able
360
00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:41.069
to shoot the puck There's two behind him and two
361
00:20:41.089 --> 00:20:41.349
in front.
362
00:20:41.589 --> 00:20:46.630
He shot him through two of those said four Dallas
363
00:20:46.650 --> 00:20:51.849
stars and goes far side, top shelf.
364
00:20:52.930 --> 00:20:55.910
Are you frigging kidding me?
365
00:20:57.930 --> 00:21:05.970
That was a highlight reel goal for the highlight reel. Luke,
366
00:21:05.990 --> 00:21:07.930
by the way, second star of the game, Nico Heischer
367
00:21:07.970 --> 00:21:12.299
was your first with two goals. But wow, what a
368
00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:16.140
goal in response mode right there.
369
00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:16.680
28 seconds later.
370
00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:20.390
Like we said earlier when we started, this second period,
371
00:21:21.069 --> 00:21:24.930
the Devils have just been turning into a beast out
372
00:21:24.970 --> 00:21:30.859
on the ice. Lightning, the other team's up 4-1 as
373
00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:34.440
we end the second and move into third. And Jack
374
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.619
Hughes says, okay.
375
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.200
There, baby brother.
376
00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:38.640
Hang on, hang on.
377
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:40.900
You're still the little guy even though you're taller than
378
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:47.400
me right now. And at 13-15 of the third, as
379
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:53.109
if there was any doubt, Jack Hughes, the toothless Jack Hughes.
380
00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.930
Yes, he took a high stick earlier.
381
00:21:55.650 --> 00:21:58.549
In the game. And we know when Jack loses a
382
00:21:58.569 --> 00:22:01.930
tooth or two, good things can happen goal-wise.
383
00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:07.079
And he had the old bubble mask on there. Old
384
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.920
bubble boy, like Seinfeld. Moops!
385
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.640
Moors!
386
00:22:10.869 --> 00:22:16.009
Moops! Moors! Moops! Jack may have to play in the bubble.
387
00:22:18.309 --> 00:22:19.190
If this is how it goes.
388
00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:25.769
But his first five-on-five goal of the season comes at
389
00:22:25.789 --> 00:22:27.809
13-15 from Jesper Bratt.
390
00:22:27.869 --> 00:22:34.180
And the offensive juggernaut Known as Brett. What am I, funny?
391
00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:35.140
What am I, a clown to you?
392
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:39.160
Pesci getting a primary assist. There is fourth of the year.
393
00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:41.539
Keeping that point streak alive.
394
00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:45.119
Brett Pesci. What's that, three games now?
395
00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:47.680
Look out.
396
00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:53.859
But this goal was almost an exact replay of Nico.
397
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.359
He shares with that. Was that his first one or
398
00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:57.640
a second one? His first goal.
399
00:22:59.069 --> 00:23:03.579
When Nico cut across. right through the center slot, and
400
00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:07.119
then he's able to shoot it back far side. Same
401
00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:10.349
exact thing that Jack Hughes did. And since that was
402
00:23:10.369 --> 00:23:13.529
the first period, and this is the third period, same.
403
00:23:13.369 --> 00:23:16.769
Side of the ice as well. Past Casey to Smith.
404
00:23:16.789 --> 00:23:19.970
So they saw something where they wanted to shoot, and boy,
405
00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:24.900
were they taking advantage of it and exposing it all night.
406
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:29.059
5-1. Your Devils win. Playing team defense.
407
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:32.299
Five on five.
408
00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:39.529
No power play goals tonight. Five on five scoring. Another
409
00:23:39.630 --> 00:23:46.670
big second period. And oh, what a first game for
410
00:23:46.690 --> 00:23:49.640
the man whose last name completely fits playing in a
411
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:50.960
New Jersey Devils uniform.
412
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.720
Helly Bucky. Connor Hellebuck.
413
00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.759
Raising hell.
414
00:23:59.369 --> 00:24:01.700
Down there in Dallas. Let's hear what you think about it.
415
00:24:01.710 --> 00:24:06.299
Chirp away on the YouTube chat. And once again, we're
416
00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.680
going to bring in the man of the hour, the
417
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.630
tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Sam, by God. Woo!
418
00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:23.269
Great crowd tonight for a late game out here on
419
00:24:23.309 --> 00:24:27.410
the East Coast for Devils After Dark. Seeing a lot
420
00:24:27.450 --> 00:24:33.890
of the comments, but First off, Connor Hellebuck, a little rusty,
421
00:24:33.970 --> 00:24:39.799
but even a little rusty, Connor Hellebuck is better than
422
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:43.380
most of the NHL goaltenders in the National Hockey League.
423
00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:47.960
He did not give up rebounds tonight. No. He gobbled
424
00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:48.589
up the puck.
425
00:24:48.609 --> 00:24:50.210
You see the look in his eyes, too?
426
00:24:51.250 --> 00:24:57.769
Yeah. Oh, yeah. He looks like the devil himself. Yeah.
427
00:24:58.450 --> 00:25:00.970
I loved it. I loved it. I loved every second
428
00:25:01.009 --> 00:25:01.450
of it, Sam.
429
00:25:02.049 --> 00:25:06.109
Yeah, the intensity was there. A little rusty, but you
430
00:25:06.150 --> 00:25:08.970
know what? Who wouldn't be? But he didn't give up
431
00:25:09.410 --> 00:25:13.730
big rebounds. He was in control the entire game. The
432
00:25:13.769 --> 00:25:17.839
Devils controlled the game. It was great team defense. That's
433
00:25:17.890 --> 00:25:21.839
been four games in a row. Great team defense. But
434
00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:27.880
what about Luke Hughes? His situational awareness, but most importantly,
435
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.930
puck protection. Luke Hughes, so much better this year than
436
00:25:34.130 --> 00:25:36.730
last season. The way he protects the puck, the way
437
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.940
he uses his body to shield when he's driving down
438
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:46.359
the ice towards the net and he's taking his body
439
00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:51.109
to shield that puck and just making sure that no
440
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.430
one's going to take that puck away from him. And
441
00:25:53.549 --> 00:25:57.349
I think that's what led to his goal where he just, again,
442
00:25:57.549 --> 00:26:04.430
just situational awareness, saw the hole, exploited it, scored that goal.
443
00:26:05.549 --> 00:26:10.079
Luke Hughes is looking like an elite defenseman tonight.
444
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.039
Elite.
445
00:26:11.170 --> 00:26:15.160
And Nick Volano put that out there on the Pucks
446
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:20.880
and Pitchforks Twitter account, at PitchforkBuck. Elite. This is what
447
00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:24.779
we've been wanting to see for a while now. This
448
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:32.109
was pretty much a complete game. Team Team defense, the
449
00:26:32.250 --> 00:26:38.000
offense was putting a lot of shots on DeSmith. And
450
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.059
he was making some great saves, Scotty. I mean, they
451
00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:46.819
were peppering high-quality chances. And the fourth line that they
452
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:51.950
were rolling was giving the Dallas Stars a lot of trouble.
453
00:26:52.690 --> 00:26:56.109
That Dallas, really, when they went.
454
00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.420
I'm sorry.
455
00:26:59.849 --> 00:27:02.089
I just saw this comment from, oh, my goodness, that
456
00:27:02.130 --> 00:27:05.690
Samu has a UBI and upper brain injury from the helmet.
457
00:27:05.890 --> 00:27:08.130
Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw that, too. I saw that.
458
00:27:10.710 --> 00:27:12.009
Sorry. Go ahead. Sorry.
459
00:27:12.630 --> 00:27:18.680
No, I forgot what I was saying now. But overall, like,
460
00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:24.799
this team is just playing like a team. And I
461
00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:28.500
don't know. Somebody wrote in the. in the YouTube live chat,
462
00:27:28.619 --> 00:27:32.200
you know, buy in, you know, they're, they're, they all
463
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.099
bought in and, Oh, now I remember what I was
464
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.160
going to say. Did you notice that Dallas was pretty
465
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.549
much gassed by the time they got out of their
466
00:27:41.670 --> 00:27:44.589
own zone through the neutral zone into the devil zone
467
00:27:45.309 --> 00:27:47.750
that they, that they were so gassed that they would
468
00:27:47.769 --> 00:27:50.710
have to dump the puck in to make a change
469
00:27:51.109 --> 00:27:55.559
because the devils just were so relentless on their forecheck. Um,
470
00:27:56.009 --> 00:27:59.769
Just more of position-wise that they just were having so
471
00:27:59.809 --> 00:28:05.150
much trouble. Jason Robertson, superstar in the National Hockey League.
472
00:28:05.170 --> 00:28:06.069
Didn't even hear from him.
473
00:28:06.410 --> 00:28:07.190
Non-existent.
474
00:28:07.430 --> 00:28:07.670
Yeah.
475
00:28:07.730 --> 00:28:08.450
Non-existent.
476
00:28:08.589 --> 00:28:08.809
Yeah.
477
00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:09.630
Heard his name once.
478
00:28:09.650 --> 00:28:10.670
Same thing with Wyatt Johnson.
479
00:28:11.049 --> 00:28:12.299
Yeah.
480
00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:14.940
I was expecting to hear both of those names quite
481
00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:16.380
often throughout the evening.
482
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.000
And, yeah, the Devils were shutting him down. Someone said
483
00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:23.470
it here. They're not conceding the blue line. They're starting
484
00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:25.450
to play this really good team.
485
00:28:25.190 --> 00:28:28.230
Defense, which is what is needed, and they have the
486
00:28:28.269 --> 00:28:32.319
capabilities to transition that into really stellar offense.
487
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.200
And then you have the last line of defense.
488
00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:42.279
Now you got Helly in there. That's really cooking with
489
00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:46.960
some fire if this team can play like this consistently.
490
00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:50.940
That's always been the thorn in the side of this team.
491
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.970
We've seen stretches and then it poof disappears. Maybe we're
492
00:28:55.990 --> 00:28:59.829
starting to get to that point with this new construction of,
493
00:28:59.869 --> 00:29:02.640
you know, some guys coming in and some guys going out, uh,
494
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.059
that Sonny Meta has, has adjusted on. I mean, maybe
495
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:12.500
this is looking like, you know, what fans are thinking
496
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:15.990
should be the product out on the ice for the,
497
00:29:16.029 --> 00:29:19.210
for the last number of years. And they're playing together.
498
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:23.000
I know it's a buzzword now, connected. I think you
499
00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:26.410
could say the team was definitely connected tonight, and they
500
00:29:26.490 --> 00:29:30.490
have been, but it's the defense. They can transition and
501
00:29:30.549 --> 00:29:33.289
make the offense happen, but it's that defense, and it's
502
00:29:33.589 --> 00:29:36.009
everyone too. I know we talked about it with Chico
503
00:29:36.069 --> 00:29:40.940
Rush the other night. Sidney Gritsiuk playing great defense. We
504
00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:43.400
know Timo Meyer hasn't scored a lot of goals yet.
505
00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:46.960
He's got a terrible shooting percentage, but he is doing
506
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.039
a lot of things really well. He is a bulldog
507
00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:54.859
out there on the ice and he's creating havoc. I mean,
508
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:59.380
look at Nico's goal when he was crashing the net there. Yeah.
509
00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:00.460
And he got the assist.
510
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:02.319
I know someone said, give me fuel, give me fire,
511
00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:04.420
give me assist from Timo Mayer. I think that was
512
00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:09.640
Mark Schwab over there in Switzerland. Maybe we'll have to
513
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.029
start doing the Metallica call for his assist. But still,
514
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.130
I mean, he really helped out on that first goal
515
00:30:17.869 --> 00:30:20.430
or the second goal. And then the first goal, yeah,
516
00:30:20.450 --> 00:30:23.490
he had the assist. He passed back to.
517
00:30:25.609 --> 00:30:29.009
Nico Heischer. So he is doing a lot of good things.
518
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.720
And I think Chico was right when we talked with
519
00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:36.630
him on Sunday night. Is Timo going to be a
520
00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:37.789
40-goal scorer again?
521
00:30:37.809 --> 00:30:38.690
I don't know.
522
00:30:39.150 --> 00:30:44.769
But if he can get into that 25-ish range consistently
523
00:30:44.890 --> 00:30:48.769
each year, I'll take that. I'll take that with the
524
00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:49.950
other work that he's been doing.
525
00:30:50.289 --> 00:30:54.089
Well, it kind of reminds me of Dinah Zubris years
526
00:30:54.130 --> 00:30:57.170
ago when he was with the New Jersey Devils. because
527
00:30:57.210 --> 00:30:59.670
he came into the league as one of those scorers.
528
00:30:59.789 --> 00:31:02.130
But when it came to the Devils, he played that
529
00:31:02.250 --> 00:31:05.220
role where you need to win the nitty-gritty battles in
530
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:08.740
the corners and just wear down the opponents with your size.
531
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.579
And Timo Meier's doing a lot of things away from
532
00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:15.700
the ice. Just, I remember.
533
00:31:16.089 --> 00:31:16.970
I.
534
00:31:18.190 --> 00:31:22.910
Remember, you know, Timo Meier, remember he got hit in
535
00:31:22.930 --> 00:31:26.490
the face, but he got up. Real quick, this is
536
00:31:26.549 --> 00:31:29.359
a home game. I forgot against who, and then went
537
00:31:29.410 --> 00:31:30.299
straight to the net.
538
00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:32.880
Oh, yeah, and he came back and stole the puck
539
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:35.119
from someone tonight, like in the zone.
540
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.119
I think Chisholm got the goal. Yeah, I think Chisholm
541
00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:41.160
got the goal in that sequence. But how about the
542
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.279
Devils feasting on the Western Conference teams? Now I believe
543
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:50.789
they're 5-1 now, 5-1 against Western Conference teams, beating Colorado,
544
00:31:51.529 --> 00:31:58.369
beating Dallas, obviously. beating the Kings the other night, and
545
00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:01.289
who else? I forgot who. Just beating all these Western
546
00:32:01.309 --> 00:32:05.829
Conference teams. So can they continue? The back check, that's another.
547
00:32:05.849 --> 00:32:08.750
I see Ariel serve. A lot of people talking about that, too.
548
00:32:09.890 --> 00:32:13.420
Back check all night, Sam Will.
549
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:18.579
Yeah, and right now, the Devils are just feasting on
550
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:23.859
the West, and they got a big game. Tomorrow against Colorado.
551
00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:30.460
Two of them. Colorado and Vegas. This week is massive. Dallas, Colorado, Vegas.
552
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:33.160
That's some of the cream of the crop right there
553
00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:34.220
of the Western Conference.
554
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.650
And then they come back home to Edmonton.
555
00:32:38.009 --> 00:32:38.950
To Edmonton, yeah.
556
00:32:39.250 --> 00:32:44.430
So they're really getting hit with this Western. But they've
557
00:32:44.450 --> 00:32:48.029
been playing well. If they keep playing like this, now
558
00:32:48.049 --> 00:32:49.509
you put Hellebuck back there?
559
00:32:49.670 --> 00:32:50.089
Damn. Damn.
560
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:51.759
Damn.
561
00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:58.579
I mean, that's, that's a recipe for success. So let's
562
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.480
not get ahead of ourselves. Like we said, they have
563
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.680
to keep this up consistently. But right now, I don't know.
564
00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:06.259
I don't know.
565
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.039
I'm trying to think like, but there's not really a
566
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.539
whole hell of a lot that I can come up
567
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.880
with that. You can say like, they need to improve
568
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.880
on from this game. This, this literally was probably their
569
00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:19.920
best game of the season, you know, even better than
570
00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:23.890
the Ranger. game because the Dallas stars, I, I, you know,
571
00:33:23.970 --> 00:33:26.029
I personally believe are a better team than the Rangers.
572
00:33:26.069 --> 00:33:28.150
I think the Rangers will even out before the season
573
00:33:28.210 --> 00:33:32.880
is over. But, um, Dallas is, you know, they're one
574
00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:33.539
of those elites.
575
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:35.140
Yeah.
576
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:35.980
Just shut them down.
577
00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:39.559
Like you said, you, you did not hear Jason Robertson
578
00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:45.259
or why Johnson, like for a large, large, the vast
579
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.400
majority of this game, you were not hearing those names called.
580
00:33:48.339 --> 00:33:52.130
Yeah. Uh, And the other thing, too, even if Ottinger
581
00:33:52.170 --> 00:33:54.690
was in net, the Devils would have still won this game.
582
00:33:55.509 --> 00:33:56.329
They would have won this game.
583
00:33:56.369 --> 00:33:57.349
I believe so, yeah.
584
00:33:58.569 --> 00:34:03.390
It wasn't the goaltender. The goaltender got peppered pretty badly.
585
00:34:03.829 --> 00:34:05.190
And there were a lot of posts, too.
586
00:34:05.210 --> 00:34:07.710
Casey just had some good games against the Devils as well.
587
00:34:08.429 --> 00:34:16.320
Let's not forget that. But yeah, I mean, Hellebuck, yeah,
588
00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:20.659
if he's going to have those... 16, 17, 18 game,
589
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.639
you know, 18 save games like Allah Marty used to
590
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:25.760
have back in the day. I think hella buck is
591
00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:29.659
the type of goaltender. You saw his focus tonight and
592
00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:33.800
just how intense he is out there. Like that's the type.
593
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:34.460
Of focus, Marty.
594
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:35.960
I know Marty was a little bit more laid back,
595
00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:39.119
but I mean, that's how, that's how Marty was focused
596
00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:41.139
going into the game and stuff like that. And that's
597
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.440
how he was able to keep himself in it, you know?
598
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.429
And yeah. Hey, you're only getting 17 shots.
599
00:34:48.869 --> 00:34:51.469
You stop 16 of them or 17 of them, you
600
00:34:51.489 --> 00:34:53.510
got a good chance of getting those shutouts as well. And,
601
00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:55.860
I mean, it was a perfect tip. That was the
602
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.199
only way that Dallas scored tonight. I mean, that was
603
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.539
a hell of a redirect in front of the net.
604
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.960
Other than that, Hellebuck was just eating those pucks up, man.
605
00:35:08.409 --> 00:35:09.670
Thank you for the super chat.
606
00:35:09.710 --> 00:35:13.710
Like you said before. Sorry. Rebounds were nonexistent.
607
00:35:14.230 --> 00:35:15.429
And, yeah. Woo!
608
00:35:15.449 --> 00:35:15.519
Woo!
609
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:27.679
Mark Schwab coming through with the super chat. Wow, look
610
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.139
at Ariel with the striper reference over here.
611
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:31.900
To hell with the devil. Wow.
612
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.409
Wow.
613
00:35:35.530 --> 00:35:38.369
Can you have Helly's Bells when they come out?
614
00:35:40.449 --> 00:35:44.570
Helly's Bells? Yeah, I might have a surprise.
615
00:35:44.590 --> 00:35:45.269
Uh-oh.
616
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.619
Hellebuck's debut at The Rock. That's going to be awesome.
617
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:50.940
Okay.
618
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.519
And also, with all those fans saying Rangers suck, this
619
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.239
is probably the best year to do two garden invasions
620
00:36:00.829 --> 00:36:05.769
in December. December 7th and December 22nd. I think this
621
00:36:05.829 --> 00:36:11.969
is the best time to invade Madison Square Garden when
622
00:36:12.010 --> 00:36:12.550
they're down.
623
00:36:14.809 --> 00:36:15.309
Sam Wu.
624
00:36:16.329 --> 00:36:16.570
What's up?
625
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.980
Now, I got a little ahead of myself there, and
626
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.960
I forgot to read some of those game stats afterwards.
627
00:36:26.489 --> 00:36:26.969
What's that?
628
00:36:27.469 --> 00:36:30.769
Wouldn't you know it, the one game I forget to
629
00:36:30.869 --> 00:36:34.929
read the stats on, I believe we have a new
630
00:36:36.650 --> 00:36:40.369
game hit total leader for the season.
631
00:36:40.369 --> 00:36:46.219
31 hits for your New Jersey Devils. Now, that may
632
00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:48.639
be a coincidence with old Brandon Dillon back in the
633
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:50.059
lineup there, but.
634
00:36:50.940 --> 00:36:52.420
He can't hit everybody.
635
00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:56.219
Well, I mean, he sort of does. But either way,
636
00:36:57.260 --> 00:37:00.260
the Devils have been down in the teens, you know,
637
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.800
for the hit totals. 31.
638
00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:05.929
I like seeing that.
639
00:37:08.710 --> 00:37:09.630
Thank you for the super chat.
640
00:37:09.650 --> 00:37:12.909
That lets the other team know you come into that zone,
641
00:37:13.809 --> 00:37:19.199
you're going to get rocked. We got another Super Chat? Sorry.
642
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:19.820
Woo!
643
00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:26.150
Yeah, Keenan. Keenan! With the Super Chat.
644
00:37:26.530 --> 00:37:32.639
He's going to the Avs game on Wednesday. All right. Yeah.
645
00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:36.659
That's going to be a good one because you remember
646
00:37:36.699 --> 00:37:40.369
what happened last season. Devils beating the Avalanche.
647
00:37:40.489 --> 00:37:41.010
Paycheck.
648
00:37:41.250 --> 00:37:46.639
Back at home. And then going to Colorado and getting
649
00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:50.360
their asses kicked when Markstrom was in that different team.
650
00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:53.519
I would expect Jake the Snake Allen to be in that.
651
00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:55.420
It's going to be a great game.
652
00:37:58.619 --> 00:38:02.039
This is good. Back check, forecheck, paycheck. I love it, Corbin.
653
00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.639
Nicely done.
654
00:38:04.409 --> 00:38:11.369
And yes, your Devils are in second place in the Metro. Wow.
655
00:38:12.530 --> 00:38:16.269
I hit stats instead of standings. Yes, 8-4-0 for 16 points.
656
00:38:16.269 --> 00:38:20.949
12 games played, two in hand on the Carolina Hurricanes,
657
00:38:20.989 --> 00:38:22.349
who are still 10-2-2.
658
00:38:22.730 --> 00:38:26.610
Holy hell. And the Rags, 14 games played, 7-6-1.
659
00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:29.980
Like I said, I think the Rangers will probably even
660
00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:33.099
out a little bit after that hot start. I don't
661
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:35.260
think they're going to be like, terrible but i just
662
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:36.800
think they're going to even out a little bit more
663
00:38:37.380 --> 00:38:42.989
um as the season progresses yeah but second place right.
664
00:38:42.829 --> 00:38:47.750
There not bad not bad at all and.
665
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.860
We're gonna do this again tomorrow sam woo yeah i
666
00:38:54.900 --> 00:39:01.989
thought it was thursday it's tomorrow they're playing colorado with a,
667
00:39:02.090 --> 00:39:04.380
what time is it? This is a 6 p.m.
668
00:39:05.179 --> 00:39:07.539
Pacific, so that's what, 9 on the East Coast.
669
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.119
Yeah, that's a 9 o'clock start tomorrow.
670
00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:12.679
And can anyone explain to me what the hell's going
671
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:16.960
on on Friday? It says the game is at 3 o'clock.
672
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:18.760
Yeah, 6 o'clock.
673
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:22.329
3 o'clock West Coast time in Vegas. Why is there
674
00:39:22.389 --> 00:39:25.769
a 3 o'clock Vegas start on Friday? I'm a little
675
00:39:25.789 --> 00:39:29.130
confused about that one. I don't think they're turning the
676
00:39:29.170 --> 00:39:33.559
arena over. that quickly for a concert.
677
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:33.860
I don't know.
678
00:39:33.900 --> 00:39:36.159
Maybe the circus is coming to town for the next
679
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:36.860
afternoon or.
680
00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:39.300
Something like that. I guess.
681
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:40.219
I don't know.
682
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.909
But yeah, 3 o'clock local start time on a Friday
683
00:39:45.409 --> 00:39:47.510
for a hockey game seems a little out of place.
684
00:39:47.590 --> 00:39:48.809
But what the hell?
685
00:39:48.849 --> 00:39:52.789
We'll take it. But Colorado, tomorrow night.
686
00:39:54.269 --> 00:39:56.820
Man, are we going to be talking about another doubles victory?
687
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.099
This will be a huge, huge challenge for them.
688
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.440
Are we going to annex the West? It's Nevada Day.
689
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:05.619
I didn't even hear. I didn't even know about that. Apparently,
690
00:40:05.659 --> 00:40:06.559
it's Nevada Day.
691
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:07.119
Wow.
692
00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:18.130
Okay. Thank you, Max. Evan says Carolina's getting nervous. Allen
693
00:40:18.210 --> 00:40:21.840
obviously starts tomorrow. Says Ariel Fernandez.
694
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:26.320
I think Jake the Snake Allen starts on Friday in
695
00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:30.769
Las Vegas because of the Las Vegas Girl Scout troop
696
00:40:31.369 --> 00:40:36.530
who tried to viciously assault Sam Wu after poor Jake
697
00:40:36.590 --> 00:40:40.530
the Snake let up a goal or two. And Sam
698
00:40:40.570 --> 00:40:44.239
Wu conveniently went to the bathroom to leave the rest
699
00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:47.019
of the Let's Go Devils podcast crew.
700
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.460
To just incoming, incoming after incoming.
701
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.980
It's eight-year-old girl insulting you after insult after insult.
702
00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:57.550
I wasn't there. I went to the bathroom. Got to go.
703
00:40:57.570 --> 00:40:59.409
It was nowhere to be found at that moment.
704
00:40:59.449 --> 00:41:01.769
Yeah, it just happened to disappear as soon as Jake
705
00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:05.489
the Snake let in that goal. And the Las Vegas
706
00:41:05.530 --> 00:41:07.789
Girl Scouts, or actually they might have been Brownies. I
707
00:41:07.809 --> 00:41:09.130
don't even know if they were old enough to be
708
00:41:09.150 --> 00:41:09.389
a Girl Scout.
709
00:41:09.409 --> 00:41:11.510
No, they were Brownies. They were definitely Brownies.
710
00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:15.690
The Las Vegas Brownies, yeah, turned their ire to everyone
711
00:41:15.769 --> 00:41:20.860
else in Sam Wu's friend group. AKA myself and beer
712
00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:24.659
Baron and Billy Dean and shorts guy and little Steve.
713
00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:27.519
Yeah. We got the brunt of that.
714
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:30.610
We did.
715
00:41:31.909 --> 00:41:36.730
Where's the woo. Oh, the woo is disappeared. These are
716
00:41:36.769 --> 00:41:37.969
coming for you guys.
717
00:41:39.889 --> 00:41:43.849
Tell you, they got a Sam Wu merit badge, you know,
718
00:41:43.889 --> 00:41:45.969
those old things that they put on that little sash
719
00:41:46.010 --> 00:41:46.650
thing or whatever.
720
00:41:46.690 --> 00:41:48.840
You know, Yeah, I'd also like to point out.
721
00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:49.659
It's casino day.
722
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:52.139
I'd also like to point out, since I was the
723
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.940
guy that got the seats at the outdoor game, we
724
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:01.650
didn't actually have seats for this game. I know. For
725
00:42:01.690 --> 00:42:02.590
the Vegas game.
726
00:42:02.690 --> 00:42:04.590
But it was awesome, though. I got standard.
727
00:42:05.429 --> 00:42:07.349
But it's a good thing I didn't get those other
728
00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:10.449
ones that were in the club section up at the top,
729
00:42:10.489 --> 00:42:14.179
because we wouldn't have even been able to see the game.
730
00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:17.269
There's like a little, like, And you think club section.
731
00:42:17.510 --> 00:42:18.329
Oh, a suite.
732
00:42:18.550 --> 00:42:19.309
No, no, no, no, no.
733
00:42:19.769 --> 00:42:27.019
There's literally like a club, you know, above the arena
734
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.880
while the game is going on and you could buy
735
00:42:29.940 --> 00:42:33.559
tickets for there, but you can't really see the ice.
736
00:42:33.659 --> 00:42:35.480
You can just see the TVs in.
737
00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:39.059
The bar around there while the game is going on.
738
00:42:39.099 --> 00:42:40.960
So at least I didn't, at least I didn't mess
739
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:43.599
it up that bad, but yeah, we did. Definitely have
740
00:42:43.619 --> 00:42:46.039
standing room only seats there in Las Vegas.
741
00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:47.079
Yeah.
742
00:42:47.659 --> 00:42:49.699
Hence why Sam was able to run and hide in
743
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.590
the bathroom from the brownies so quickly. He didn't even
744
00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:55.429
have to say, excuse me, I need to leave.
745
00:42:55.489 --> 00:42:56.570
Excuse me. Excuse me.
746
00:42:56.630 --> 00:42:58.849
Try to get out of the row. He just turned
747
00:42:59.289 --> 00:43:01.510
and hightailed it to the old men's room.
748
00:43:02.110 --> 00:43:05.190
Yeah. That little militia could be vicious. I'm telling you
749
00:43:05.710 --> 00:43:13.630
these brownies just like a little militia ready to just Oh, Lordy.
750
00:43:13.690 --> 00:43:16.210
Take me down. But anyway.
751
00:43:16.670 --> 00:43:21.889
Well, great win for this team. Everything right now is
752
00:43:21.949 --> 00:43:26.820
trending in the right direction. With the new blood here
753
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:33.039
with Evan Rodriguez, with Luka Evangelista, even with Lombardi, Jesper
754
00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:34.340
Bolquist coming back.
755
00:43:34.980 --> 00:43:39.130
And obviously, now you get Hellebuck in net.
756
00:43:40.210 --> 00:43:45.639
And... I hope if you were on the fence going
757
00:43:45.699 --> 00:43:49.489
into this game, I hope this opened your eyes as
758
00:43:49.550 --> 00:43:50.389
to what.
759
00:43:50.889 --> 00:44:00.039
Could be with Connor Hellebuck in net. That dude is laser-focused. Laser-focused.
760
00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:03.579
And some of these little details you don't pick up
761
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:06.559
on as much until you see this guy on your
762
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:08.800
own team. Oh, yeah. And you see a little bit
763
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:10.800
more of the pregame action and a little bit more
764
00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:13.559
of the routine. And, you know, you start getting more
765
00:44:13.579 --> 00:44:14.539
of the interviews and stuff.
766
00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:16.099
Everyone knows Connor Hellebuck.
767
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:16.380
Yeah.
768
00:44:17.019 --> 00:44:19.800
But to see it a little bit more close up
769
00:44:20.420 --> 00:44:24.179
in detail, it's it's pretty impressive.
770
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.530
Yeah, I don't get anxiety anymore watching Devils games right now.
771
00:44:28.579 --> 00:44:28.880
I did.
772
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.440
I did feel a lot more comfortable with shots going
773
00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:32.000
towards the net.
774
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:35.400
I'm not going to lie. It's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
775
00:44:35.420 --> 00:44:37.400
Gobbled it up. It's like the old days of Marty.
776
00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:38.480
This guy gobbled it up.
777
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:42.900
He's six, four as well. The dude is a giant.
778
00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:45.579
You put those skates on. He's like six, six out there.
779
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.800
Like he's taken up a large portion of that net.
780
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.929
And yeah, I think, I think, I hope that us
781
00:44:55.949 --> 00:45:00.190
devils fans are in for, you know, Some fun goaltending treats.
782
00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:03.590
For a little while to come here. Yeah.
783
00:45:05.710 --> 00:45:09.250
Well, Sam, I think we should wrap this bad boy up. Hey,
784
00:45:09.309 --> 00:45:15.449
Jim Norton, Evan, what's going on? Dre, Dre White. He's
785
00:45:15.510 --> 00:45:17.760
ready for a cup run because we're going to come
786
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.269
back tomorrow night and do this all over again. Yep.
787
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.900
As the Devils take on the Colorado Avalanche. Now, Sam,
788
00:45:24.059 --> 00:45:26.619
are we going to have a State of the Fan address?
789
00:45:26.699 --> 00:45:28.280
Yeah, so this is what's going to happen.
790
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:29.059
With Nick Polano as well?
791
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.239
Yeah, so this is what's going to happen. Give us
792
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:33.800
the rundown. All right, the rundown is State of the
793
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:37.050
Fan address is going to be pushed from 8.30 p.m.
794
00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:42.190
Eastern to 7.30 p.m. Eastern. And then we are going
795
00:45:42.210 --> 00:45:47.010
to go live, live handoff to game day live. So
796
00:45:47.050 --> 00:45:49.969
we're not going to stop the stream. We're just going
797
00:45:49.989 --> 00:45:52.960
to hand off the game day live, and then it's
798
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:54.440
going to be me and Vinny Parisi.
799
00:45:56.219 --> 00:45:57.519
All right. Excellent.
800
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:04.219
So there you go. Obviously, I also can confirm as well,
801
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.590
Devils After Dark, it's going to be Scotty and I.
802
00:46:09.139 --> 00:46:12.849
I got permission from Mrs. Wu to do the podcast
803
00:46:12.889 --> 00:46:17.010
because when it strikes midnight, it's our 10-year anniversary. So
804
00:46:17.110 --> 00:46:20.369
I've got permission. Oh, all right. Yeah, so I got
805
00:46:20.409 --> 00:46:23.750
permission from, yeah.
806
00:46:23.789 --> 00:46:25.630
Maybe she will give you a blanket for sleeping on
807
00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:26.230
the couch then.
808
00:46:26.550 --> 00:46:30.989
No, no, no. She said milestones don't offer that kind of,
809
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:32.920
you know, forgiveness.
810
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.059
You don't get forgiveness for that?
811
00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:39.840
No, no, not at all. I think she's kind of
812
00:46:39.860 --> 00:46:42.500
enjoying that I'm on the couch right now. Right now.
813
00:46:42.659 --> 00:46:43.679
Oh, okay, okay.
814
00:46:44.070 --> 00:46:49.010
Yeah. All right, well, the doggies are going crazy over
815
00:46:49.030 --> 00:46:52.639
here because they're happy that Hellebuck is in net. So
816
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:54.920
let's wrap this bad boy up, Sam. We'll be back
817
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:58.199

Devs and Avs going at it.

00:47:07.849 --> 00:47:08.210
Can't wait.
823
00:47:08.230 --> 00:47:09.550
It's going to be another exciting night.
824
00:47:10.349 --> 00:47:18.320
Yep, absolutely. Well, Devils winning five to one. They're 5-1
825
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:22.880

Till next time. Let's go Devils.
1
00:00:02.169 --> 00:00:04.889

on the Let's Go Devils Network, as the Devils win,
8
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.100
is it 5-1, Scotty?
9
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.579
That is 5-1, yeah. This looks like an incorrect heading
10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.399
over here.
11
00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:46.640
In the old YouTube chat there, Sam.
12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:47.700
We've got to get on it.
13
00:00:48.299 --> 00:00:51.619
I thought I asked you before we went on.
14
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:54.320
I did.
15
00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:55.219
I said 5-1.
16
00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:59.640
Oh, I asked if it was 4-1. Now everybody's knocking
17
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.420
my title. Should we start over?
18
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:03.820
No.
19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:04.480
No.
20
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.420
But if you want to go fix it, you can
21
00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:06.739
go ahead.
22
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:07.560
Yeah. Yeah.
23
00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:08.530
Yeah. Just for later.
24
00:01:09.109 --> 00:01:09.769
Yeah. Yeah.
25
00:01:09.989 --> 00:01:10.129
Okay.
26
00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:13.469
All right. Yeah. It happens.
27
00:01:13.909 --> 00:01:16.010
We'll update. No worries.
28
00:01:16.290 --> 00:01:18.689
I don't remember the fifth goal. Maybe I doze off.
29
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:20.349
Maybe that's what it was.
30
00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:23.560
I don't know. I don't know. I guess we'll have
31
00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:27.129
to find out. But yeah. What's up, everybody? Hey. See
32
00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:30.430
all the turps going away. In the old YouTube chat,
33
00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:36.750
get on in there. Max, yes. Beat me up, yes. Yes,
34
00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:42.340
it's 5-1. We know. Not 4-1. 5-1, Devils. In this
35
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:45.739
big victory, what's up? Corbin and Roman. Max, Art Heaton.
36
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:46.359
Beat me up.
37
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.989
Little Bub. Supernova. Grizzlad. AJ, Eddie, Robert, Isaacson. Serve. Ooh,
38
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:58.810
what's this? Hexes. Uh, okay. Hexes.
39
00:01:58.939 --> 00:01:59.540
There we go.
40
00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:08.340
Lynn bars. What's going on? Uh, BK. Rocal. Okay.
41
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:09.719
That's a new one. What's up?
42
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:12.650
Got a lot of noobs coming in here to tell, uh, Sam. Well,
43
00:02:12.669 --> 00:02:18.330
they got his score wrong. Chris lad, Eric gob, John.
44
00:02:18.389 --> 00:02:19.069
He in.
45
00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:23.060
Man. We got everyone chiming in. Steven Tartas.
46
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.590
What is going on? That's right, Robert Isaacson. As you
47
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.909
heard here on the Let's Go Devils podcast network, Jimmy Dowd. Actually,
48
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:36.189
that was a Devils After Dark as well. Jimmy Dowd
49
00:02:36.229 --> 00:02:39.729
talking about team defense. Look at what happens when they
50
00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:40.030
play a.
51
00:02:40.009 --> 00:02:42.270
Little team defense.
52
00:02:42.370 --> 00:02:46.810
Game number 12 on the road down there in Dallas, Texas.
53
00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:49.210
Jay Snow, what's going on?
54
00:02:49.229 --> 00:02:52.330
Let's see.
55
00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:56.710
This is Glaret. Tyler Dunn?
56
00:02:56.729 --> 00:02:57.310
I don't know.
57
00:02:59.419 --> 00:03:04.080
I'm sure that probably spells out something witty that I'm
58
00:03:04.099 --> 00:03:04.800
missing right now.
59
00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:06.240
That's okay.
60
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:08.159
I'll get it eventually. Don't worry.
61
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.229
Stanley. Man.
62
00:03:13.909 --> 00:03:15.569
Everyone is ready to go.
63
00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:22.229
But yes, down there in Dallas, which we know the
64
00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:24.710
best part of playing the Dallas Stars is you get
65
00:03:24.729 --> 00:03:28.780
to hear Pantera played on the loudspeaker. during the game
66
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.800
in the arena. We don't like to hear the Dallas
67
00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:34.280
Stars goal song as much, but, you know, getting that
68
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.960
Cowboys from hell and a little walk action going.
69
00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:38.979
I'm all about that.
70
00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:44.120
At the old hockey game. For Vinny and Dime, that's right,
71
00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:45.500
the pink beard up in the sky.
72
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.060
Looking all down on us. Throwing the Stanley Cup off
73
00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:52.060
the roof. Whoops, we missed the pool.
74
00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:55.439
And now there's a massive dent. Good stories there. down
75
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.009
in Texas with the Abbott brothers. Either way, let's play
76
00:04:00.030 --> 00:04:01.150
some team defense.
77
00:04:02.110 --> 00:04:04.370
Welcome back, Brendan Dillon, into the lineup.
78
00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:10.629
And hello, Helly Bucky, whatever one you prefer to be called,
79
00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:11.879
Helly or Bucky.
80
00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:17.920
Helly Bucky, there you go. Looking like he's locked in
81
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:21.639
before the puck even drops. Love seeing that. Going against
82
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:22.740
a team.
83
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.680
That plays pretty damn good defense themselves in the Dallas Stars.
84
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:32.430
Second best PK in the league. Let's start talking about
85
00:04:32.470 --> 00:04:35.529
it here. First period, the Devils are wasting no time,
86
00:04:35.589 --> 00:04:39.379
which is a positive trend we have been seeing now.
87
00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:42.060
And I think you can call it a trend.
88
00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:45.899
In the last six, seven, eight games now, the Devils
89
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.399
not giving up the early goal.
90
00:04:49.310 --> 00:04:52.050
And having to chase the game, but rather scoring themselves.
91
00:04:52.089 --> 00:04:55.990
And this time it is the captain leading the way
92
00:04:56.089 --> 00:05:01.420
with his sixth goal of the year. And what a
93
00:05:01.509 --> 00:05:06.519
goal it was over here. Starting in the neutral zone.
94
00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:10.180
The puck gets chipped ahead. Nico gets it. Two on
95
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.019
one with, I believe it was Timo Meier there, right?
96
00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:19.339
And Nico lets the Stars D-man. Just kind of like,
97
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.540
and then right out of your camera shot there. Just
98
00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:26.860
right out, just sliding by, looking for the hip check
99
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:30.990
or something. And yeah, he's just like, right on by.
100
00:05:31.430 --> 00:05:34.449
As Nico Heischer, instead of passing it over, decides to
101
00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:35.529
cut across.
102
00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:40.069
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's the second goal I'm getting.
103
00:05:42.050 --> 00:05:43.300
Hang on, hang on.
104
00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:48.930
Timo, okay, this starts a defensive play. To reach the puck,
105
00:05:49.569 --> 00:05:53.759
poke it, feed Timo Meier. And then Nico Hicher, he's
106
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.079
not watching the play. He's getting into it. Gets the
107
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.360
motor going. He wants to be the trailer.
108
00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:05.790
Wait. I'm all confused. Hang on. Feeling like Sam Wu here.
109
00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:08.350
Yeah, it sucks, right?
110
00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:09.939
But hey.
111
00:06:10.029 --> 00:06:13.500
Now I'm reading my second period highlights instead of my
112
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.980
first period highlights.
113
00:06:15.509 --> 00:06:17.670
Sounds like you didn't watch the game and you're just
114
00:06:17.730 --> 00:06:18.870
reading off Cliff notes.
115
00:06:21.029 --> 00:06:24.050
Well, I got my notes here. I got my notes here. Okay.
116
00:06:24.069 --> 00:06:26.269
I'm only joking. Joking. All right.
117
00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:29.829
So it starts in the neutral zone. I swear this time.
118
00:06:29.870 --> 00:06:32.500
All right. The puck gets chipped ahead. Nico gets it.
119
00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:36.490
Two on one with Timo. And then Nico.
120
00:06:36.529 --> 00:06:36.730
Yes.
121
00:06:36.769 --> 00:06:37.449
Let's the stars.
122
00:06:37.470 --> 00:06:41.970
Demon slide right out of your TV screen picture. And
123
00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:45.279
then he cuts across the center slot. Timo screening right
124
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:48.939
in front and Nico puts it in far side there.
125
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.160
And then the Dallas.
126
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.720
Stars, because there was contact with the goaltender Casey to
127
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.160
Smith with Timo Meyer, but you'll notice Timo skates just
128
00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:01.639
into the blue paint, but then he pulls his skate
129
00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:06.000
back out. He pulls it back out before there was
130
00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:08.990
contact made. So the stars, well, when you're the second
131
00:07:09.029 --> 00:07:11.790
best PK in the league, you can take a chance
132
00:07:11.829 --> 00:07:15.470
like that and challenge that goal. even though you may
133
00:07:15.529 --> 00:07:19.069
not be sure 100% if there was goaltender interference on there.
134
00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:21.730
After a really quick review.
135
00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:26.379
Surprised, shocking, I thought it would be at least a
136
00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:29.579
10-minute review for the officials trying to find something that
137
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:29.959
they can.
138
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.889
Call goaltender interference on. It has ruled a good goal.
139
00:07:34.550 --> 00:07:41.189
And in the national, a failed challenge like that, Results
140
00:07:41.329 --> 00:07:45.009
in a delay of game penalty. So not only did
141
00:07:45.029 --> 00:07:48.100
the Devils go up 1-0 at 2.41 of the first
142
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:51.399
period by your captain, Nico Heischer, getting his sixth of
143
00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:54.879
the year, assisted by Evangelista.
144
00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:57.879
And Gianni Kovacevic. Now they go on the power play.
145
00:07:57.939 --> 00:08:02.009
Which unfortunately, you know, nothing really too much happened there,
146
00:08:02.050 --> 00:08:04.310
but that's okay.
147
00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:05.029
All right?
148
00:08:05.370 --> 00:08:09.730
Going to get like Stuart Smalley there, and that's... Okay.
149
00:08:09.810 --> 00:08:10.129
All right.
150
00:08:10.170 --> 00:08:12.870
We move into the second with the Devils up 1-0.
151
00:08:13.110 --> 00:08:17.589
And once again, early on in the period. And so
152
00:08:17.649 --> 00:08:21.329
far this year, the second period has been quite the
153
00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:24.240
period for the New Jersey Hockey Devils.
154
00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.560
And tonight they're putting up a three spot. But it
155
00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:28.300
is your captain once again.
156
00:08:29.329 --> 00:08:33.570
Now with his team leading seventh goal of the year
157
00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:36.690
and his second of the game coming from Luke Hughes
158
00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:42.269
and Timo Meyer. And this started out with a defensive
159
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.740
play by Luke Hughes to reach out and poke the
160
00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:51.840
puck forward. And Timo gets on his horse and he's going.
161
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.159
And once again, you get Nico. He sure he's not
162
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.039
watching the play.
163
00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.279
He gets his motor running.
164
00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:05.519
Skates are skating with speeds of blazing, blades of steel.
165
00:09:08.450 --> 00:09:10.149
And he's getting in there to be the trailer.
166
00:09:10.169 --> 00:09:12.029
So now Timo Meyers in there on a two-hour woman,
167
00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:18.529
Luke Evangelista, and instead of passing it across, which everyone
168
00:09:18.590 --> 00:09:20.529
and their mother was thinking they were going to do,
169
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:27.399
he throws it back to the inside upper face-off circle.
170
00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:32.649
For one, Nico Heischer right there. And bam!
171
00:09:35.990 --> 00:09:42.429
Into the back of the net. The puck goes. Slamming
172
00:09:42.470 --> 00:09:46.860
it home. Far side for another goal. 38 seconds into
173
00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:47.740
the second period.
174
00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:48.340
Devils are up 2-0.
175
00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:59.809
That's Nico's 7th. From Timo Mayer and Luke Hughes. Now,
176
00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:04.909
was this the one? Oh, that was the Luke goal before.
177
00:10:04.970 --> 00:10:06.850
That's after. Okay, we'll talk about that.
178
00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:11.620
But the Devils weren't done because then someone who has,
179
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.779
you know, reemerged on this New Jersey Devils team and
180
00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:19.059
has been doing a damn good job already in his
181
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:24.169
bottom six role. Jesper Boquist gets his fourth goal of
182
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:27.049
the season. Bet you didn't have that on your bingo
183
00:10:27.090 --> 00:10:31.110
card in the first 15 games or so of this year.
184
00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:33.240
But Jesper Boquist gets his fourth of the year coming
185
00:10:33.250 --> 00:10:37.960
from jumping Jack Flash, Jack Hughes, and Arseny Gritsyuk to
186
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:43.379
put the Devils up 3-0 at 11.45.
187
00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:46.080
This was a nice little quick give and go after
188
00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:47.100
the Devils.
189
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:51.860
Have had the Stars pinned in their defensive zone. Jesper
190
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.620
Boquist actually makes a line change. That's why it's an
191
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.480
assisted by Hughes and Gritsiuk.
192
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.480
They didn't get off the ice because they're pinned in.
193
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:03.500
But Jesper Bratt is able to get off.
194
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.570
And Jesper Boquist comes on the ice.
195
00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:06.090
Boom.
196
00:11:06.490 --> 00:11:07.350
Right into the play.
197
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.850
Jack Hughes, quick little give and go into the back
198
00:11:09.889 --> 00:11:16.169
of the net. Devils up 3-0. Now after that, man,
199
00:11:16.210 --> 00:11:16.990
Brendan Dillon.
200
00:11:17.289 --> 00:11:18.149
Dillon!
201
00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:24.360
Son of a bitch making his presence felt with a massive.
202
00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:31.039
Earth shattering or shaking earth shattering glass shattering earth shaking
203
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.620
yeah that's that's what i meant to say something like
204
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:38.529
that uh hit on lundquist there in the neutral zone
205
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:43.330
i mean he flattens him lundquist had his head down
206
00:11:43.490 --> 00:11:46.509
boom right into the chest uh your captain mr jamie
207
00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:48.929
ben comes over and says i don't like you doing
208
00:11:48.970 --> 00:11:52.379
that To my teammates, but we know Brendan Dillon and Ben,
209
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.440
long history together. So they just kind of rustle and
210
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:59.580
don't throw any punches at each other and say, I'm
211
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.539
just going to grab your jersey and I'm just going
212
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.419
to grab your jersey and we're not going to hit
213
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:05.879
each other because we really like each other.
214
00:12:05.899 --> 00:12:08.759
But that was a hard, hard check on my teammate there.
215
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.820
Old Dilly. We miss you doing that on our team.
216
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:20.129
So. Nothing really happens there, literally. Neither person threw a punch.
217
00:12:20.149 --> 00:12:22.809
They kind of slammed each other up against the glass.
218
00:12:22.570 --> 00:12:24.509
For a little bit, and that was it.
219
00:12:24.789 --> 00:12:29.779
Yet somehow Jamie Benn got an instigator and a misconduct.
220
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.059
I don't like these instigator calls. I don't think anyone
221
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.100
does coming out like that.
222
00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:43.690
When you're gooning and you're chasing someone down, That maybe doesn't.
223
00:12:43.470 --> 00:12:46.090
Want to drop a glass. You know, Brendan Dillon, he's
224
00:12:46.110 --> 00:12:46.990
a willing combatant.
225
00:12:48.889 --> 00:12:49.269
I don't know.
226
00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:51.870
I don't like the instigator calls in there. I think
227
00:12:51.909 --> 00:12:52.490
it's kind of weak.
228
00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:52.850
Great.
229
00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:54.809
You know, I love that it gave the Devils a
230
00:12:54.830 --> 00:13:00.830
power play. But still, not a huge fan of giving
231
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:05.009
the instigator out there. It's not like JV was like
232
00:13:05.789 --> 00:13:08.269
threw his gloves off and was chasing Brendan Dillon down.
233
00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:10.309
I mean, they got there. Hey, you're going to go. Boom.
234
00:13:11.690 --> 00:13:12.610
Is that an instigator?
235
00:13:12.809 --> 00:13:13.230
I don't know.
236
00:13:13.269 --> 00:13:14.450
My book, no.
237
00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:15.490
Maybe I'm a little old school.
238
00:13:15.629 --> 00:13:16.009
I'm old.
239
00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:21.570
I'm in my mid-40s now. But yeah, it gave the
240
00:13:21.590 --> 00:13:24.019
Devils a power play.
241
00:13:24.299 --> 00:13:26.700
But if this was reversed, man, would I be pissed
242
00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:30.240
off if that instigator call was going against Dillon or
243
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:35.039
something like that. Either way, the Devils don't get a
244
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.789
power play goal. But the Dallas Stars do get on
245
00:13:38.830 --> 00:13:45.110
the board. At 1608 of the second period, finally getting
246
00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:45.669
one pass.
247
00:13:45.710 --> 00:13:47.970
Connor Hellebuck, who looked, you know, I.
248
00:13:47.970 --> 00:13:50.190
Mean, for a guy who hasn't played in the NHL
249
00:13:50.409 --> 00:13:53.830
at all this season so far, I'm sure there's some
250
00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:59.779
things he will improve upon. But overall, dude looked pretty
251
00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:03.940
frigging solid back there to me. And he's only going
252
00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:10.179
to get better as he rounds into midseason form. Perfect tip,
253
00:14:10.230 --> 00:14:12.610
by the way, by the Dallas Stars. That's how they
254
00:14:12.629 --> 00:14:14.649
beat Connor Hellebuck.
255
00:14:15.409 --> 00:14:15.970
Hellebucky.
256
00:14:17.590 --> 00:14:21.320
Long-range shot coming from the point and a beautiful tip
257
00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:25.019
right in front that redirects the shot down and away
258
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.059
past Helle and into the back of the net.
259
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:29.240
So, okay, 3-1.
260
00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:33.149
New Jersey Devils still on top.
261
00:14:34.370 --> 00:14:34.909
But we know.
262
00:14:35.509 --> 00:14:38.429
The Dallas Stars, you know, they're a really damn good team.
263
00:14:38.450 --> 00:14:41.169
They got some big scorers over there, too. Robertson, Wyatt Johnson.
264
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.220
They can bounce right back into this very, very easily.
265
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:51.500
But a mere 28 seconds later.
266
00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:57.159
What's that? Oh, he's allowed to do football calls again?
267
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.539
Still sleeping on the couch. Well, I mean, that is
268
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.210
your right, Mrs.
269
00:15:02.250 --> 00:15:02.490
Wu.
270
00:15:02.610 --> 00:15:03.110
I mean....
271
00:15:04.429 --> 00:15:07.389
He did open his mouth a few times and say
272
00:15:07.409 --> 00:15:09.889
it was your fault when we all know Mrs.
273
00:15:09.909 --> 00:15:13.240
Wu is never wrong. We should go.
274
00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:16.080
But you want me to remind him he's still on
275
00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:16.419
the couch.
276
00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:17.139
No problem.
277
00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:23.000
Okay. Just got the word that Sam Wu will still
278
00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:26.340
be sleeping on the couch tonight. No pillows either or
279
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.509
cushions on that couch. Just the hard spring of it
280
00:15:31.190 --> 00:15:33.929
to make his life a little bit more miserable. But
281
00:15:34.649 --> 00:15:37.309
we do need to go to the Let's Go Devils
282
00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:41.600
podcast studios for this game update.
283
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.259
This Devils After Dark game update with the man of
284
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.980
the hour, the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Sam,
285
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:50.720
by God, woo.
286
00:16:11.789 --> 00:16:15.809
This game update is brought to you by American Whiskey.
287
00:16:16.389 --> 00:16:21.990
American Whiskey, celebrate another devil's victory with us.
288
00:16:23.950 --> 00:16:24.509
Devils!
289
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:32.080
Stars in Dallas. It's the nose tackle.
290
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:41.470
Connor Hellebuck's Devil's debut. 78 degrees, 5 mile per hour winds.
291
00:16:42.009 --> 00:16:42.950
No problem.
292
00:16:43.870 --> 00:16:52.539
Devil's driving. Hamilton out of the shotgun. Mantha snaps. He
293
00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:57.879
hands off to Luke Hughes. Luke runs to the right.
294
00:16:58.379 --> 00:17:01.429
He runs to the left. To the 30.
295
00:17:01.429 --> 00:17:02.250
The 20.
296
00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:02.809
It's in.
297
00:17:03.429 --> 00:17:04.849
Touchdown, Devils.
298
00:17:05.210 --> 00:17:11.470
Touchdown, Devils. The $ 9 million man does it again.
299
00:17:11.490 --> 00:17:15.910
The New Jersey Devils are America's team.
300
00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:18.819
Are you ready, New Jersey?
301
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.670
Woo!
302
00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:22.660
Wow.
303
00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:28.180
Look at that. Football call with the helmet. I mean,
304
00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:32.069
the helmet really makes it special. I miss the helmet.
305
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.809
You know, when we're at American Whiskey, say we may
306
00:17:35.869 --> 00:17:38.670
need to find you a, you know, a helmet to
307
00:17:38.750 --> 00:17:41.339
store at American Whiskey and one to store at home
308
00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:44.900
because that helmet just, I mean, it really, it really
309
00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:45.980
seals the deal right there.
310
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.259
Sometimes I wonder if you prolong your monologues. So I
311
00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:53.460
could wear this helmet like longer on my head because
312
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:58.220
I could feel my head got bigger. My head got bigger, uh,
313
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:02.460
from last season. And, uh, you.
314
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:05.240
Know, when you put a bandaid too tight around your
315
00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:07.539
finger and it just starts pulsating, that's.
316
00:18:07.630 --> 00:18:11.450
That's poor Sam. Every time he puts that helmet on
317
00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:11.910
his head.
318
00:18:11.930 --> 00:18:12.210
Yeah.
319
00:18:12.269 --> 00:18:18.410
It's just like, Oh, what a football call there by
320
00:18:18.450 --> 00:18:19.089
the legend.
321
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:21.539
Sam, by God, Wu.
322
00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:27.140
Mrs. Wu says she'll allow him to have the cushions back,
323
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.920
but no pillows.
324
00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.819
So there you go.
325
00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:33.740
Sam's winning some brownie points here. Getting himself back on track.
326
00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:36.549
Maybe he might get a blanket by the end of
327
00:18:36.569 --> 00:18:36.880
the show.
328
00:18:37.589 --> 00:18:42.210
Who knows? We'll have to wait and see. But either way, Luke.
329
00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:47.119
You underestimate my power. That's right.
330
00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:51.730
Luke Hughes gets his second point of the game in
331
00:18:51.769 --> 00:18:52.569
this time.
332
00:18:52.650 --> 00:18:57.190
It's the fourth goal for the New Jersey Devils to
333
00:18:57.210 --> 00:18:58.289
put them up 4-1.
334
00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:02.069
And what a response 28 seconds later.
335
00:19:03.029 --> 00:19:05.380
Oh, Dallas Stars, you think you're getting back into this game?
336
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.220
Quick, hold my Lone Star beer while we're down here
337
00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:12.720
in Texas. Because I need to go and get some
338
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.789
stuff done over here so.
339
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.750
We can old yellow you behind the barn. That's right.
340
00:19:18.849 --> 00:19:24.549
Luke Hughes. I mean, he's spinning this way. He's skating
341
00:19:24.609 --> 00:19:29.220
that way. He's stick handling. He's got the puck possession.
342
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.359
By the end of this little thing, I didn't even
343
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:36.000
realize Dougie Hamilton had the assist on this one.
344
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.329
Because the whole highlight is really Luke Hughes.
345
00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:46.289
Just skating around, avoiding Dallas stars, doing little stick handles.
346
00:19:47.069 --> 00:19:48.349
He's got that spin.
347
00:19:48.069 --> 00:19:51.670
Move along the along the blue line down pat. But
348
00:19:51.730 --> 00:19:55.000
by the end of his little venture there in the zone,
349
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:58.000
I wish I had the John Madden, like, you know, uh,
350
00:19:59.859 --> 00:20:01.319
telestrator or whatever it's called.
351
00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:05.119
So I can, I let it go. And boom, see this,
352
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.779
he does a spin and it moves.
353
00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:08.990
I mean, we get Nicholas cage to come in here and, uh,
354
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.640
do a Madden prompter.
355
00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:18.390
For one of these goals from Luke Hughes. By the
356
00:20:18.430 --> 00:20:23.430
time Luke is done dancing around the ice there, literally
357
00:20:23.529 --> 00:20:27.049
there are four Dallas Stars around him.
358
00:20:28.150 --> 00:20:28.589
Four!
359
00:20:30.950 --> 00:20:37.789
He attracted four Dallas Stars and then somehow is able
360
00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:41.069
to shoot the puck There's two behind him and two
361
00:20:41.089 --> 00:20:41.349
in front.
362
00:20:41.589 --> 00:20:46.630
He shot him through two of those said four Dallas
363
00:20:46.650 --> 00:20:51.849
stars and goes far side, top shelf.
364
00:20:52.930 --> 00:20:55.910
Are you frigging kidding me?
365
00:20:57.930 --> 00:21:05.970
That was a highlight reel goal for the highlight reel. Luke,
366
00:21:05.990 --> 00:21:07.930
by the way, second star of the game, Nico Heischer
367
00:21:07.970 --> 00:21:12.299
was your first with two goals. But wow, what a
368
00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:16.140
goal in response mode right there.
369
00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:16.680
28 seconds later.
370
00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:20.390
Like we said earlier when we started, this second period,
371
00:21:21.069 --> 00:21:24.930
the Devils have just been turning into a beast out
372
00:21:24.970 --> 00:21:30.859
on the ice. Lightning, the other team's up 4-1 as
373
00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:34.440
we end the second and move into third. And Jack
374
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:36.619
Hughes says, okay.
375
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.200
There, baby brother.
376
00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:38.640
Hang on, hang on.
377
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:40.900
You're still the little guy even though you're taller than
378
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:47.400
me right now. And at 13-15 of the third, as
379
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:53.109
if there was any doubt, Jack Hughes, the toothless Jack Hughes.
380
00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.930
Yes, he took a high stick earlier.
381
00:21:55.650 --> 00:21:58.549
In the game. And we know when Jack loses a
382
00:21:58.569 --> 00:22:01.930
tooth or two, good things can happen goal-wise.
383
00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:07.079
And he had the old bubble mask on there. Old
384
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.920
bubble boy, like Seinfeld. Moops!
385
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.640
Moors!
386
00:22:10.869 --> 00:22:16.009
Moops! Moors! Moops! Jack may have to play in the bubble.
387
00:22:18.309 --> 00:22:19.190
If this is how it goes.
388
00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:25.769
But his first five-on-five goal of the season comes at
389
00:22:25.789 --> 00:22:27.809
13-15 from Jesper Bratt.
390
00:22:27.869 --> 00:22:34.180
And the offensive juggernaut Known as Brett. What am I, funny?
391
00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:35.140
What am I, a clown to you?
392
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:39.160
Pesci getting a primary assist. There is fourth of the year.
393
00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:41.539
Keeping that point streak alive.
394
00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:45.119
Brett Pesci. What's that, three games now?
395
00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:47.680
Look out.
396
00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:53.859
But this goal was almost an exact replay of Nico.
397
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.359
He shares with that. Was that his first one or
398
00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:57.640
a second one? His first goal.
399
00:22:59.069 --> 00:23:03.579
When Nico cut across. right through the center slot, and
400
00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:07.119
then he's able to shoot it back far side. Same
401
00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:10.349
exact thing that Jack Hughes did. And since that was
402
00:23:10.369 --> 00:23:13.529
the first period, and this is the third period, same.
403
00:23:13.369 --> 00:23:16.769
Side of the ice as well. Past Casey to Smith.
404
00:23:16.789 --> 00:23:19.970
So they saw something where they wanted to shoot, and boy,
405
00:23:20.549 --> 00:23:24.900
were they taking advantage of it and exposing it all night.
406
00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:29.059
5-1. Your Devils win. Playing team defense.
407
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:32.299
Five on five.
408
00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:39.529
No power play goals tonight. Five on five scoring. Another
409
00:23:39.630 --> 00:23:46.670
big second period. And oh, what a first game for
410
00:23:46.690 --> 00:23:49.640
the man whose last name completely fits playing in a
411
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:50.960
New Jersey Devils uniform.
412
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.720
Helly Bucky. Connor Hellebuck.
413
00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.759
Raising hell.
414
00:23:59.369 --> 00:24:01.700
Down there in Dallas. Let's hear what you think about it.
415
00:24:01.710 --> 00:24:06.299
Chirp away on the YouTube chat. And once again, we're
416
00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:08.680
going to bring in the man of the hour, the
417
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:15.630
tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Sam, by God. Woo!
418
00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:23.269
Great crowd tonight for a late game out here on
419
00:24:23.309 --> 00:24:27.410
the East Coast for Devils After Dark. Seeing a lot
420
00:24:27.450 --> 00:24:33.890
of the comments, but First off, Connor Hellebuck, a little rusty,
421
00:24:33.970 --> 00:24:39.799
but even a little rusty, Connor Hellebuck is better than
422
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:43.380
most of the NHL goaltenders in the National Hockey League.
423
00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:47.960
He did not give up rebounds tonight. No. He gobbled
424
00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:48.589
up the puck.
425
00:24:48.609 --> 00:24:50.210
You see the look in his eyes, too?
426
00:24:51.250 --> 00:24:57.769
Yeah. Oh, yeah. He looks like the devil himself. Yeah.
427
00:24:58.450 --> 00:25:00.970
I loved it. I loved it. I loved every second
428
00:25:01.009 --> 00:25:01.450
of it, Sam.
429
00:25:02.049 --> 00:25:06.109
Yeah, the intensity was there. A little rusty, but you
430
00:25:06.150 --> 00:25:08.970
know what? Who wouldn't be? But he didn't give up
431
00:25:09.410 --> 00:25:13.730
big rebounds. He was in control the entire game. The
432
00:25:13.769 --> 00:25:17.839
Devils controlled the game. It was great team defense. That's
433
00:25:17.890 --> 00:25:21.839
been four games in a row. Great team defense. But
434
00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:27.880
what about Luke Hughes? His situational awareness, but most importantly,
435
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.930
puck protection. Luke Hughes, so much better this year than
436
00:25:34.130 --> 00:25:36.730
last season. The way he protects the puck, the way
437
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.940
he uses his body to shield when he's driving down
438
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:46.359
the ice towards the net and he's taking his body
439
00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:51.109
to shield that puck and just making sure that no
440
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.430
one's going to take that puck away from him. And
441
00:25:53.549 --> 00:25:57.349
I think that's what led to his goal where he just, again,
442
00:25:57.549 --> 00:26:04.430
just situational awareness, saw the hole, exploited it, scored that goal.
443
00:26:05.549 --> 00:26:10.079
Luke Hughes is looking like an elite defenseman tonight.
444
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:11.039
Elite.
445
00:26:11.170 --> 00:26:15.160
And Nick Volano put that out there on the Pucks
446
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:20.880
and Pitchforks Twitter account, at PitchforkBuck. Elite. This is what
447
00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:24.779
we've been wanting to see for a while now. This
448
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:32.109
was pretty much a complete game. Team Team defense, the
449
00:26:32.250 --> 00:26:38.000
offense was putting a lot of shots on DeSmith. And
450
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.059
he was making some great saves, Scotty. I mean, they
451
00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:46.819
were peppering high-quality chances. And the fourth line that they
452
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:51.950
were rolling was giving the Dallas Stars a lot of trouble.
453
00:26:52.690 --> 00:26:56.109
That Dallas, really, when they went.
454
00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.420
I'm sorry.
455
00:26:59.849 --> 00:27:02.089
I just saw this comment from, oh, my goodness, that
456
00:27:02.130 --> 00:27:05.690
Samu has a UBI and upper brain injury from the helmet.
457
00:27:05.890 --> 00:27:08.130
Oh, yeah, yeah. I saw that, too. I saw that.
458
00:27:10.710 --> 00:27:12.009
Sorry. Go ahead. Sorry.
459
00:27:12.630 --> 00:27:18.680
No, I forgot what I was saying now. But overall, like,
460
00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:24.799
this team is just playing like a team. And I
461
00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:28.500
don't know. Somebody wrote in the. in the YouTube live chat,
462
00:27:28.619 --> 00:27:32.200
you know, buy in, you know, they're, they're, they all
463
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.099
bought in and, Oh, now I remember what I was
464
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.160
going to say. Did you notice that Dallas was pretty
465
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.549
much gassed by the time they got out of their
466
00:27:41.670 --> 00:27:44.589
own zone through the neutral zone into the devil zone
467
00:27:45.309 --> 00:27:47.750
that they, that they were so gassed that they would
468
00:27:47.769 --> 00:27:50.710
have to dump the puck in to make a change
469
00:27:51.109 --> 00:27:55.559
because the devils just were so relentless on their forecheck. Um,
470
00:27:56.009 --> 00:27:59.769
Just more of position-wise that they just were having so
471
00:27:59.809 --> 00:28:05.150
much trouble. Jason Robertson, superstar in the National Hockey League.
472
00:28:05.170 --> 00:28:06.069
Didn't even hear from him.
473
00:28:06.410 --> 00:28:07.190
Non-existent.
474
00:28:07.430 --> 00:28:07.670
Yeah.
475
00:28:07.730 --> 00:28:08.450
Non-existent.
476
00:28:08.589 --> 00:28:08.809
Yeah.
477
00:28:09.029 --> 00:28:09.630
Heard his name once.
478
00:28:09.650 --> 00:28:10.670
Same thing with Wyatt Johnson.
479
00:28:11.049 --> 00:28:12.299
Yeah.
480
00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:14.940
I was expecting to hear both of those names quite
481
00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:16.380
often throughout the evening.
482
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.000
And, yeah, the Devils were shutting him down. Someone said
483
00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:23.470
it here. They're not conceding the blue line. They're starting
484
00:28:23.490 --> 00:28:25.450
to play this really good team.
485
00:28:25.190 --> 00:28:28.230
Defense, which is what is needed, and they have the
486
00:28:28.269 --> 00:28:32.319
capabilities to transition that into really stellar offense.
487
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.200
And then you have the last line of defense.
488
00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:42.279
Now you got Helly in there. That's really cooking with
489
00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:46.960
some fire if this team can play like this consistently.
490
00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:50.940
That's always been the thorn in the side of this team.
491
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:55.970
We've seen stretches and then it poof disappears. Maybe we're
492
00:28:55.990 --> 00:28:59.829
starting to get to that point with this new construction of,
493
00:28:59.869 --> 00:29:02.640
you know, some guys coming in and some guys going out, uh,
494
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.059
that Sonny Meta has, has adjusted on. I mean, maybe
495
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:12.500
this is looking like, you know, what fans are thinking
496
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:15.990
should be the product out on the ice for the,
497
00:29:16.029 --> 00:29:19.210
for the last number of years. And they're playing together.
498
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:23.000
I know it's a buzzword now, connected. I think you
499
00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:26.410
could say the team was definitely connected tonight, and they
500
00:29:26.490 --> 00:29:30.490
have been, but it's the defense. They can transition and
501
00:29:30.549 --> 00:29:33.289
make the offense happen, but it's that defense, and it's
502
00:29:33.589 --> 00:29:36.009
everyone too. I know we talked about it with Chico
503
00:29:36.069 --> 00:29:40.940
Rush the other night. Sidney Gritsiuk playing great defense. We
504
00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:43.400
know Timo Meyer hasn't scored a lot of goals yet.
505
00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:46.960
He's got a terrible shooting percentage, but he is doing
506
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.039
a lot of things really well. He is a bulldog
507
00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:54.859
out there on the ice and he's creating havoc. I mean,
508
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:59.380
look at Nico's goal when he was crashing the net there. Yeah.
509
00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:00.460
And he got the assist.
510
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:02.319
I know someone said, give me fuel, give me fire,
511
00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:04.420
give me assist from Timo Mayer. I think that was
512
00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:09.640
Mark Schwab over there in Switzerland. Maybe we'll have to
513
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.029
start doing the Metallica call for his assist. But still,
514
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.130
I mean, he really helped out on that first goal
515
00:30:17.869 --> 00:30:20.430
or the second goal. And then the first goal, yeah,
516
00:30:20.450 --> 00:30:23.490
he had the assist. He passed back to.
517
00:30:25.609 --> 00:30:29.009
Nico Heischer. So he is doing a lot of good things.
518
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.720
And I think Chico was right when we talked with
519
00:30:32.779 --> 00:30:36.630
him on Sunday night. Is Timo going to be a
520
00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:37.789
40-goal scorer again?
521
00:30:37.809 --> 00:30:38.690
I don't know.
522
00:30:39.150 --> 00:30:44.769
But if he can get into that 25-ish range consistently
523
00:30:44.890 --> 00:30:48.769
each year, I'll take that. I'll take that with the
524
00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:49.950
other work that he's been doing.
525
00:30:50.289 --> 00:30:54.089
Well, it kind of reminds me of Dinah Zubris years
526
00:30:54.130 --> 00:30:57.170
ago when he was with the New Jersey Devils. because
527
00:30:57.210 --> 00:30:59.670
he came into the league as one of those scorers.
528
00:30:59.789 --> 00:31:02.130
But when it came to the Devils, he played that
529
00:31:02.250 --> 00:31:05.220
role where you need to win the nitty-gritty battles in
530
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:08.740
the corners and just wear down the opponents with your size.
531
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.579
And Timo Meier's doing a lot of things away from
532
00:31:13.619 --> 00:31:15.700
the ice. Just, I remember.
533
00:31:16.089 --> 00:31:16.970
I.
534
00:31:18.190 --> 00:31:22.910
Remember, you know, Timo Meier, remember he got hit in
535
00:31:22.930 --> 00:31:26.490
the face, but he got up. Real quick, this is
536
00:31:26.549 --> 00:31:29.359
a home game. I forgot against who, and then went
537
00:31:29.410 --> 00:31:30.299
straight to the net.
538
00:31:30.420 --> 00:31:32.880
Oh, yeah, and he came back and stole the puck
539
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:35.119
from someone tonight, like in the zone.
540
00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:38.119
I think Chisholm got the goal. Yeah, I think Chisholm
541
00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:41.160
got the goal in that sequence. But how about the
542
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.279
Devils feasting on the Western Conference teams? Now I believe
543
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:50.789
they're 5-1 now, 5-1 against Western Conference teams, beating Colorado,
544
00:31:51.529 --> 00:31:58.369
beating Dallas, obviously. beating the Kings the other night, and
545
00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:01.289
who else? I forgot who. Just beating all these Western
546
00:32:01.309 --> 00:32:05.829
Conference teams. So can they continue? The back check, that's another.
547
00:32:05.849 --> 00:32:08.750
I see Ariel serve. A lot of people talking about that, too.
548
00:32:09.890 --> 00:32:13.420
Back check all night, Sam Will.
549
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:18.579
Yeah, and right now, the Devils are just feasting on
550
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:23.859
the West, and they got a big game. Tomorrow against Colorado.
551
00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:30.460
Two of them. Colorado and Vegas. This week is massive. Dallas, Colorado, Vegas.
552
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:33.160
That's some of the cream of the crop right there
553
00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:34.220
of the Western Conference.
554
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.650
And then they come back home to Edmonton.
555
00:32:38.009 --> 00:32:38.950
To Edmonton, yeah.
556
00:32:39.250 --> 00:32:44.430
So they're really getting hit with this Western. But they've
557
00:32:44.450 --> 00:32:48.029
been playing well. If they keep playing like this, now
558
00:32:48.049 --> 00:32:49.509
you put Hellebuck back there?
559
00:32:49.670 --> 00:32:50.089
Damn. Damn.
560
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:51.759
Damn.
561
00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:58.579
I mean, that's, that's a recipe for success. So let's
562
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.480
not get ahead of ourselves. Like we said, they have
563
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.680
to keep this up consistently. But right now, I don't know.
564
00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:06.259
I don't know.
565
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.039
I'm trying to think like, but there's not really a
566
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:10.539
whole hell of a lot that I can come up
567
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.880
with that. You can say like, they need to improve
568
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:16.880
on from this game. This, this literally was probably their
569
00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:19.920
best game of the season, you know, even better than
570
00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:23.890
the Ranger. game because the Dallas stars, I, I, you know,
571
00:33:23.970 --> 00:33:26.029
I personally believe are a better team than the Rangers.
572
00:33:26.069 --> 00:33:28.150
I think the Rangers will even out before the season
573
00:33:28.210 --> 00:33:32.880
is over. But, um, Dallas is, you know, they're one
574
00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:33.539
of those elites.
575
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:35.140
Yeah.
576
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:35.980
Just shut them down.
577
00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:39.559
Like you said, you, you did not hear Jason Robertson
578
00:33:39.619 --> 00:33:45.259
or why Johnson, like for a large, large, the vast
579
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.400
majority of this game, you were not hearing those names called.
580
00:33:48.339 --> 00:33:52.130
Yeah. Uh, And the other thing, too, even if Ottinger
581
00:33:52.170 --> 00:33:54.690
was in net, the Devils would have still won this game.
582
00:33:55.509 --> 00:33:56.329
They would have won this game.
583
00:33:56.369 --> 00:33:57.349
I believe so, yeah.
584
00:33:58.569 --> 00:34:03.390
It wasn't the goaltender. The goaltender got peppered pretty badly.
585
00:34:03.829 --> 00:34:05.190
And there were a lot of posts, too.
586
00:34:05.210 --> 00:34:07.710
Casey just had some good games against the Devils as well.
587
00:34:08.429 --> 00:34:16.320
Let's not forget that. But yeah, I mean, Hellebuck, yeah,
588
00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:20.659
if he's going to have those... 16, 17, 18 game,
589
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.639
you know, 18 save games like Allah Marty used to
590
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:25.760
have back in the day. I think hella buck is
591
00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:29.659
the type of goaltender. You saw his focus tonight and
592
00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:33.800
just how intense he is out there. Like that's the type.
593
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:34.460
Of focus, Marty.
594
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:35.960
I know Marty was a little bit more laid back,
595
00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:39.119
but I mean, that's how, that's how Marty was focused
596
00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:41.139
going into the game and stuff like that. And that's
597
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.440
how he was able to keep himself in it, you know?
598
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.429
And yeah. Hey, you're only getting 17 shots.
599
00:34:48.869 --> 00:34:51.469
You stop 16 of them or 17 of them, you
600
00:34:51.489 --> 00:34:53.510
got a good chance of getting those shutouts as well. And,
601
00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:55.860
I mean, it was a perfect tip. That was the
602
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.199
only way that Dallas scored tonight. I mean, that was
603
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.539
a hell of a redirect in front of the net.
604
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.960
Other than that, Hellebuck was just eating those pucks up, man.
605
00:35:08.409 --> 00:35:09.670
Thank you for the super chat.
606
00:35:09.710 --> 00:35:13.710
Like you said before. Sorry. Rebounds were nonexistent.
607
00:35:14.230 --> 00:35:15.429
And, yeah. Woo!
608
00:35:15.449 --> 00:35:15.519
Woo!
609
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:27.679
Mark Schwab coming through with the super chat. Wow, look
610
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.139
at Ariel with the striper reference over here.
611
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:31.900
To hell with the devil. Wow.
612
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.409
Wow.
613
00:35:35.530 --> 00:35:38.369
Can you have Helly's Bells when they come out?
614
00:35:40.449 --> 00:35:44.570
Helly's Bells? Yeah, I might have a surprise.
615
00:35:44.590 --> 00:35:45.269
Uh-oh.
616
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.619
Hellebuck's debut at The Rock. That's going to be awesome.
617
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:50.940
Okay.
618
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.519
And also, with all those fans saying Rangers suck, this
619
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:00.239
is probably the best year to do two garden invasions
620
00:36:00.829 --> 00:36:05.769
in December. December 7th and December 22nd. I think this
621
00:36:05.829 --> 00:36:11.969
is the best time to invade Madison Square Garden when
622
00:36:12.010 --> 00:36:12.550
they're down.
623
00:36:14.809 --> 00:36:15.309
Sam Wu.
624
00:36:16.329 --> 00:36:16.570
What's up?
625
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.980
Now, I got a little ahead of myself there, and
626
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.960
I forgot to read some of those game stats afterwards.
627
00:36:26.489 --> 00:36:26.969
What's that?
628
00:36:27.469 --> 00:36:30.769
Wouldn't you know it, the one game I forget to
629
00:36:30.869 --> 00:36:34.929
read the stats on, I believe we have a new
630
00:36:36.650 --> 00:36:40.369
game hit total leader for the season.
631
00:36:40.369 --> 00:36:46.219
31 hits for your New Jersey Devils. Now, that may
632
00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:48.639
be a coincidence with old Brandon Dillon back in the
633
00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:50.059
lineup there, but.
634
00:36:50.940 --> 00:36:52.420
He can't hit everybody.
635
00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:56.219
Well, I mean, he sort of does. But either way,
636
00:36:57.260 --> 00:37:00.260
the Devils have been down in the teens, you know,
637
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:03.800
for the hit totals. 31.
638
00:37:03.780 --> 00:37:05.929
I like seeing that.
639
00:37:08.710 --> 00:37:09.630
Thank you for the super chat.
640
00:37:09.650 --> 00:37:12.909
That lets the other team know you come into that zone,
641
00:37:13.809 --> 00:37:19.199
you're going to get rocked. We got another Super Chat? Sorry.
642
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:19.820
Woo!
643
00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:26.150
Yeah, Keenan. Keenan! With the Super Chat.
644
00:37:26.530 --> 00:37:32.639
He's going to the Avs game on Wednesday. All right. Yeah.
645
00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:36.659
That's going to be a good one because you remember
646
00:37:36.699 --> 00:37:40.369
what happened last season. Devils beating the Avalanche.
647
00:37:40.489 --> 00:37:41.010
Paycheck.
648
00:37:41.250 --> 00:37:46.639
Back at home. And then going to Colorado and getting
649
00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:50.360
their asses kicked when Markstrom was in that different team.
650
00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:53.519
I would expect Jake the Snake Allen to be in that.
651
00:37:53.539 --> 00:37:55.420
It's going to be a great game.
652
00:37:58.619 --> 00:38:02.039
This is good. Back check, forecheck, paycheck. I love it, Corbin.
653
00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.639
Nicely done.
654
00:38:04.409 --> 00:38:11.369
And yes, your Devils are in second place in the Metro. Wow.
655
00:38:12.530 --> 00:38:16.269
I hit stats instead of standings. Yes, 8-4-0 for 16 points.
656
00:38:16.269 --> 00:38:20.949
12 games played, two in hand on the Carolina Hurricanes,
657
00:38:20.989 --> 00:38:22.349
who are still 10-2-2.
658
00:38:22.730 --> 00:38:26.610
Holy hell. And the Rags, 14 games played, 7-6-1.
659
00:38:26.659 --> 00:38:29.980
Like I said, I think the Rangers will probably even
660
00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:33.099
out a little bit after that hot start. I don't
661
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:35.260
think they're going to be like, terrible but i just
662
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:36.800
think they're going to even out a little bit more
663
00:38:37.380 --> 00:38:42.989
um as the season progresses yeah but second place right.
664
00:38:42.829 --> 00:38:47.750
There not bad not bad at all and.
665
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.860
We're gonna do this again tomorrow sam woo yeah i
666
00:38:54.900 --> 00:39:01.989
thought it was thursday it's tomorrow they're playing colorado with a,
667
00:39:02.090 --> 00:39:04.380
what time is it? This is a 6 p.m.
668
00:39:05.179 --> 00:39:07.539
Pacific, so that's what, 9 on the East Coast.
669
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:10.119
Yeah, that's a 9 o'clock start tomorrow.
670
00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:12.679
And can anyone explain to me what the hell's going
671
00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:16.960
on on Friday? It says the game is at 3 o'clock.
672
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:18.760
Yeah, 6 o'clock.
673
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:22.329
3 o'clock West Coast time in Vegas. Why is there
674
00:39:22.389 --> 00:39:25.769
a 3 o'clock Vegas start on Friday? I'm a little
675
00:39:25.789 --> 00:39:29.130
confused about that one. I don't think they're turning the
676
00:39:29.170 --> 00:39:33.559
arena over. that quickly for a concert.
677
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:33.860
I don't know.
678
00:39:33.900 --> 00:39:36.159
Maybe the circus is coming to town for the next
679
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:36.860
afternoon or.
680
00:39:36.780 --> 00:39:39.300
Something like that. I guess.
681
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:40.219
I don't know.
682
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.909
But yeah, 3 o'clock local start time on a Friday
683
00:39:45.409 --> 00:39:47.510
for a hockey game seems a little out of place.
684
00:39:47.590 --> 00:39:48.809
But what the hell?
685
00:39:48.849 --> 00:39:52.789
We'll take it. But Colorado, tomorrow night.
686
00:39:54.269 --> 00:39:56.820
Man, are we going to be talking about another doubles victory?
687
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.099
This will be a huge, huge challenge for them.
688
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.440
Are we going to annex the West? It's Nevada Day.
689
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:05.619
I didn't even hear. I didn't even know about that. Apparently,
690
00:40:05.659 --> 00:40:06.559
it's Nevada Day.
691
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:07.119
Wow.
692
00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:18.130
Okay. Thank you, Max. Evan says Carolina's getting nervous. Allen
693
00:40:18.210 --> 00:40:21.840
obviously starts tomorrow. Says Ariel Fernandez.
694
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:26.320
I think Jake the Snake Allen starts on Friday in
695
00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:30.769
Las Vegas because of the Las Vegas Girl Scout troop
696
00:40:31.369 --> 00:40:36.530
who tried to viciously assault Sam Wu after poor Jake
697
00:40:36.590 --> 00:40:40.530
the Snake let up a goal or two. And Sam
698
00:40:40.570 --> 00:40:44.239
Wu conveniently went to the bathroom to leave the rest
699
00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:47.019
of the Let's Go Devils podcast crew.
700
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:49.460
To just incoming, incoming after incoming.
701
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.980
It's eight-year-old girl insulting you after insult after insult.
702
00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:57.550
I wasn't there. I went to the bathroom. Got to go.
703
00:40:57.570 --> 00:40:59.409
It was nowhere to be found at that moment.
704
00:40:59.449 --> 00:41:01.769
Yeah, it just happened to disappear as soon as Jake
705
00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:05.489
the Snake let in that goal. And the Las Vegas
706
00:41:05.530 --> 00:41:07.789
Girl Scouts, or actually they might have been Brownies. I
707
00:41:07.809 --> 00:41:09.130
don't even know if they were old enough to be
708
00:41:09.150 --> 00:41:09.389
a Girl Scout.
709
00:41:09.409 --> 00:41:11.510
No, they were Brownies. They were definitely Brownies.
710
00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:15.690
The Las Vegas Brownies, yeah, turned their ire to everyone
711
00:41:15.769 --> 00:41:20.860
else in Sam Wu's friend group. AKA myself and beer
712
00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:24.659
Baron and Billy Dean and shorts guy and little Steve.
713
00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:27.519
Yeah. We got the brunt of that.
714
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:30.610
We did.
715
00:41:31.909 --> 00:41:36.730
Where's the woo. Oh, the woo is disappeared. These are
716
00:41:36.769 --> 00:41:37.969
coming for you guys.
717
00:41:39.889 --> 00:41:43.849
Tell you, they got a Sam Wu merit badge, you know,
718
00:41:43.889 --> 00:41:45.969
those old things that they put on that little sash
719
00:41:46.010 --> 00:41:46.650
thing or whatever.
720
00:41:46.690 --> 00:41:48.840
You know, Yeah, I'd also like to point out.
721
00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:49.659
It's casino day.
722
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:52.139
I'd also like to point out, since I was the
723
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.940
guy that got the seats at the outdoor game, we
724
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:01.650
didn't actually have seats for this game. I know. For
725
00:42:01.690 --> 00:42:02.590
the Vegas game.
726
00:42:02.690 --> 00:42:04.590
But it was awesome, though. I got standard.
727
00:42:05.429 --> 00:42:07.349
But it's a good thing I didn't get those other
728
00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:10.449
ones that were in the club section up at the top,
729
00:42:10.489 --> 00:42:14.179
because we wouldn't have even been able to see the game.
730
00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:17.269
There's like a little, like, And you think club section.
731
00:42:17.510 --> 00:42:18.329
Oh, a suite.
732
00:42:18.550 --> 00:42:19.309
No, no, no, no, no.
733
00:42:19.769 --> 00:42:27.019
There's literally like a club, you know, above the arena
734
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.880
while the game is going on and you could buy
735
00:42:29.940 --> 00:42:33.559
tickets for there, but you can't really see the ice.
736
00:42:33.659 --> 00:42:35.480
You can just see the TVs in.
737
00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:39.059
The bar around there while the game is going on.
738
00:42:39.099 --> 00:42:40.960
So at least I didn't, at least I didn't mess
739
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:43.599
it up that bad, but yeah, we did. Definitely have
740
00:42:43.619 --> 00:42:46.039
standing room only seats there in Las Vegas.
741
00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:47.079
Yeah.
742
00:42:47.659 --> 00:42:49.699
Hence why Sam was able to run and hide in
743
00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:53.590
the bathroom from the brownies so quickly. He didn't even
744
00:42:53.670 --> 00:42:55.429
have to say, excuse me, I need to leave.
745
00:42:55.489 --> 00:42:56.570
Excuse me. Excuse me.
746
00:42:56.630 --> 00:42:58.849
Try to get out of the row. He just turned
747
00:42:59.289 --> 00:43:01.510
and hightailed it to the old men's room.
748
00:43:02.110 --> 00:43:05.190
Yeah. That little militia could be vicious. I'm telling you
749
00:43:05.710 --> 00:43:13.630
these brownies just like a little militia ready to just Oh, Lordy.
750
00:43:13.690 --> 00:43:16.210
Take me down. But anyway.
751
00:43:16.670 --> 00:43:21.889
Well, great win for this team. Everything right now is
752
00:43:21.949 --> 00:43:26.820
trending in the right direction. With the new blood here
753
00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:33.039
with Evan Rodriguez, with Luka Evangelista, even with Lombardi, Jesper
754
00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:34.340
Bolquist coming back.
755
00:43:34.980 --> 00:43:39.130
And obviously, now you get Hellebuck in net.
756
00:43:40.210 --> 00:43:45.639
And... I hope if you were on the fence going
757
00:43:45.699 --> 00:43:49.489
into this game, I hope this opened your eyes as
758
00:43:49.550 --> 00:43:50.389
to what.
759
00:43:50.889 --> 00:44:00.039
Could be with Connor Hellebuck in net. That dude is laser-focused. Laser-focused.
760
00:44:01.260 --> 00:44:03.579
And some of these little details you don't pick up
761
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:06.559
on as much until you see this guy on your
762
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:08.800
own team. Oh, yeah. And you see a little bit
763
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:10.800
more of the pregame action and a little bit more
764
00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:13.559
of the routine. And, you know, you start getting more
765
00:44:13.579 --> 00:44:14.539
of the interviews and stuff.
766
00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:16.099
Everyone knows Connor Hellebuck.
767
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:16.380
Yeah.
768
00:44:17.019 --> 00:44:19.800
But to see it a little bit more close up
769
00:44:20.420 --> 00:44:24.179
in detail, it's it's pretty impressive.
770
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:27.530
Yeah, I don't get anxiety anymore watching Devils games right now.
771
00:44:28.579 --> 00:44:28.880
I did.
772
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.440
I did feel a lot more comfortable with shots going
773
00:44:31.460 --> 00:44:32.000
towards the net.
774
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:35.400
I'm not going to lie. It's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
775
00:44:35.420 --> 00:44:37.400
Gobbled it up. It's like the old days of Marty.
776
00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:38.480
This guy gobbled it up.
777
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:42.900
He's six, four as well. The dude is a giant.
778
00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:45.579
You put those skates on. He's like six, six out there.
779
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.800
Like he's taken up a large portion of that net.
780
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:55.929
And yeah, I think, I think, I hope that us
781
00:44:55.949 --> 00:45:00.190
devils fans are in for, you know, Some fun goaltending treats.
782
00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:03.590
For a little while to come here. Yeah.
783
00:45:05.710 --> 00:45:09.250
Well, Sam, I think we should wrap this bad boy up. Hey,
784
00:45:09.309 --> 00:45:15.449
Jim Norton, Evan, what's going on? Dre, Dre White. He's
785
00:45:15.510 --> 00:45:17.760
ready for a cup run because we're going to come
786
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:20.269
back tomorrow night and do this all over again. Yep.
787
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:23.900
As the Devils take on the Colorado Avalanche. Now, Sam,
788
00:45:24.059 --> 00:45:26.619
are we going to have a State of the Fan address?
789
00:45:26.699 --> 00:45:28.280
Yeah, so this is what's going to happen.
790
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:29.059
With Nick Polano as well?
791
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.239
Yeah, so this is what's going to happen. Give us
792
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:33.800
the rundown. All right, the rundown is State of the
793
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:37.050
Fan address is going to be pushed from 8.30 p.m.
794
00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:42.190
Eastern to 7.30 p.m. Eastern. And then we are going
795
00:45:42.210 --> 00:45:47.010

796
00:45:47.050 --> 00:45:49.969
we're not going to stop the stream. We're just going

00:45:49.989 --> 00:45:52.960
to hand off the game day live, and then it's
798
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:54.440

799
00:45:56.219 --> 00:45:57.519
All right. Excellent.
800
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:04.219
So there you go. Obviously, I also can confirm as well,
801
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.590
Devils After Dark, it's going to be Scotty and I.
802
00:46:09.139 --> 00:46:12.849
I got permission from Mrs. Wu to do the podcast
803
00:46:12.889 --> 00:46:17.010
because when it strikes midnight, it's our 10-year anniversary. So
804
00:46:17.110 --> 00:46:20.369
I've got permission. Oh, all right. Yeah, so I got
805
00:46:20.409 --> 00:46:23.750
permission from, yeah.
806
00:46:23.789 --> 00:46:25.630
Maybe she will give you a blanket for sleeping on
807
00:46:25.650 --> 00:46:26.230
the couch then.
808
00:46:26.550 --> 00:46:30.989
No, no, no. She said milestones don't offer that kind of,
809
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:32.920
you know, forgiveness.
810
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.059
You don't get forgiveness for that?
811
00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:39.840
No, no, not at all. I think she's kind of
812
00:46:39.860 --> 00:46:42.500
enjoying that I'm on the couch right now. Right now.
813
00:46:42.659 --> 00:46:43.679
Oh, okay, okay.
814
00:46:44.070 --> 00:46:49.010
Yeah. All right, well, the doggies are going crazy over
815
00:46:49.030 --> 00:46:52.639
here because they're happy that Hellebuck is in net. So
816
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:54.920

Devs and Avs going at it.

Can't wait.

It's going to be another exciting night.
