1
00:00:01.189 --> 00:00:07.080
You guys don't age. You guys don't age.
2
00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:07.879
Working out now, yeah?
3
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:09.500
Oh, yeah, they're working out. No way.
4
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.359
I wish. I should.
5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:13.150
Shouldn't we all?
6
00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:14.830
You go to the doctor's office. He's like, have you
7
00:00:14.849 --> 00:00:16.390
been doing anything? I'm like, not a thing. He's like,
8
00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:16.850
I can tell.
9
00:00:16.989 --> 00:00:19.589
I came here. Yeah. I came to the doctor's office.
10
00:00:19.870 --> 00:00:20.329
Yeah.
11
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:22.679
I'm here.
12
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.039
Don't put that cuff on me. I don't need to
13
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:25.140
see it.
14
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.079
So I kind of want to get your thoughts about
15
00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.800
what your thoughts are of the season so far.
16
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.079
We're only five games in, so you can't overreact. You
17
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:33.799
can't underreact.
18
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:38.060
It feels like it's a very, I don't know, it's
19
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:39.579
a little bit tricky to kind of gauge where this
20
00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:41.509
team is right now. I mean, there's a lot of
21
00:00:41.549 --> 00:00:44.700
new players, we understand. It seems like there's a new
22
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:50.310
guy in each line. But last night's game and the
23
00:00:50.329 --> 00:00:54.990
other two losses, It just doesn't seem like everything is
24
00:00:55.109 --> 00:00:56.130
fully gelling.
25
00:00:56.149 --> 00:00:58.090
I'm a fan. What the hell do I know?
26
00:00:58.149 --> 00:01:00.549
I'm watching it from the seats.
27
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:01.670
You're not wrong.
28
00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:07.900
It's so hard because a couple of seasons we'll start 9-1, 8-2, 10-2,
29
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:12.060
and fans are like, oh my gosh, this could be
30
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:12.560
our year.
31
00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:14.420
We're going to order the rings and get ready.
32
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.609
I'm like, let's just pump the brakes. Let's just give
33
00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:19.530
it to the halfway mark. Game 41, 42, around there.
34
00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.750
And, you know, kind of the way we've come out
35
00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:24.810
of the gates right now is.
36
00:01:24.769 --> 00:01:27.390
A bit, you know, sluggish and not the way we
37
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.719
probably expect it to be. But, again, we've still got
38
00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:32.480
to kind of give it some time. We always like
39
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:33.920
to get out with a good start. We haven't really
40
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.540
done that yet. And we hope it's a couple things,
41
00:01:37.819 --> 00:01:41.180
the cohesiveness and, you know, gelling together. And once that
42
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.549
all comes together, hopefully we'll kind of hit our stride. So, again,
43
00:01:46.569 --> 00:01:49.450
I still want to stick with what I say. You know,
44
00:01:49.549 --> 00:01:52.829
game 41, 42 is where we're at. Now, if we
45
00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:57.730
end up being like three and 20, 18.
46
00:01:57.739 --> 00:01:59.579
Then I'm worried. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.620
Then we're in big trouble.
48
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:01.980
We're cooked.
49
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.739
We're cooked, yeah.
50
00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:04.859
But, you know, let's just see where we're at. Let's
51
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:06.780
give it some time here. But they've got to get going.
52
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:09.240
So, from a player's perspective, like if you're in a
53
00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:11.979
season like this, I mean, I think the hardest part
54
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.689
is the expectations, not just from the fan base, but,
55
00:02:14.810 --> 00:02:16.210
you know, even the media.
56
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:17.969
Everybody outside of.
57
00:02:17.969 --> 00:02:21.110
The clubhouse is basically saying, you know, this team needs
58
00:02:21.129 --> 00:02:23.650
to take that next big step. But from your perspective
59
00:02:23.689 --> 00:02:25.830
as a player, like, how much of that outside noise
60
00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:28.500
are you guys actually hearing? When you're in a locker room,
61
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:32.060
is it more so you're just focused on the immediate, right?
62
00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:32.360
Well, yeah.
63
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.569
I mean, you hear it a little bit. You read it.
64
00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:36.300
We're all humans. Yeah.
65
00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:39.409
But... The pressure that they put on themselves to want
66
00:02:39.449 --> 00:02:42.949
to be great, to want to do well for the fans,
67
00:02:44.110 --> 00:02:46.110
for the organization, for them personally.
68
00:02:46.669 --> 00:02:47.560
Is really, really high.
69
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.159
So, you know, even though it's frustrating from a fan standpoint,
70
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.240
which I absolutely understand and respect, they're feeling it themselves.
71
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:56.800
They put it on themselves because they want to put
72
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.650
on a good product for the fans and for themselves
73
00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:00.370
and for the organization.
74
00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:03.699
So, you know, they read it. We all do a
75
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.000
little bit to the point, but.
76
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:06.620
We don't let it, you know, we've got enough that
77
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:07.300
we have to worry.
78
00:03:07.139 --> 00:03:09.659
About, making sure that we're, you know, whatever type of
79
00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.539
player you are, you're doing your job and doing your
80
00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:14.639
role and maximizing that to help the team win. So
81
00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:15.719
that's really the main focus.
82
00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:19.090
Yeah, and we also talked about earlier, you know, there's
83
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.750
also a lot of noise around Sheldon Keefe. You know,
84
00:03:21.870 --> 00:03:27.110
either it's rightfully so or not, unfortunately, because another guy
85
00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:28.650
that has lofty expectations as well.
86
00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:31.310
After last season, there was a lot of injuries. There
87
00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:32.389
was a lot of things that happened.
88
00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:36.340
It was super unfortunate that the Devils lost Jack for
89
00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:38.180
a good portion of that year, which really kind of
90
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.280
torpedoed everything that was going on. Comes into this year,
91
00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:45.639
and you can almost sense that he's not shy to
92
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.560
call things out this year. Like I said, this is
93
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.780
all from a perspective of a fan looking at it
94
00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:54.719
from afar, where you see this year he's the second
95
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.740
goal that they let up last night, for example, right?
96
00:03:57.349 --> 00:03:58.409
He was talking to.
97
00:03:58.409 --> 00:04:01.189
Amanda Stein after the game and he says, we had
98
00:04:01.270 --> 00:04:03.289
our most veteran line out there.
99
00:04:03.610 --> 00:04:06.430
That's unacceptable. Where I feel like in the past, maybe
100
00:04:06.449 --> 00:04:07.370
he's not calling that out.
101
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:10.069
As a player, do you respond? Are you going to
102
00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:13.430
respond to I mean, you had Pat Burns.
103
00:04:13.969 --> 00:04:15.289
We had all of us.
104
00:04:15.310 --> 00:04:17.420
When I came over, I won a cup already when
105
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.620
I came over. So we had oh my gosh. We
106
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.720
all knew Stevens and that was our captain to a degree.
107
00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:27.720
Our head captain. The Martys and the Patricks and And
108
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.089
then Madden's, and then there's myself, Langenberg. So there's so
109
00:04:31.110 --> 00:04:33.490
many guys that do this. We all take it.
110
00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:36.750
To heart and take pride in it and are vocal
111
00:04:36.769 --> 00:04:37.110
about it.
112
00:04:38.089 --> 00:04:40.250
You just don't see that in the locker rooms as
113
00:04:40.310 --> 00:04:45.680
much anymore, having that amount of veterans and games played
114
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.560
and cups that's won to voice their disapproval or whatnot,
115
00:04:52.540 --> 00:04:53.699
constructive criticism.
116
00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:53.930
In the locker room.
117
00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:55.569
So it is nice to see that, and they need
118
00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:56.990
more of it. And they need to be... They need
119
00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:59.470
to be accountable. Yeah. They need to, you know, it's bullshit.
120
00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:02.000
We need to get going. Yeah. And need to say that.
121
00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:02.519
Yeah.
122
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.819
And not be afraid to stand up in the locker
123
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:06.860
room and say, call everybody.
124
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.639
And you're going to call somebody else. You've got to
125
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.220
call yourself up when it's not going well.
126
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.449
Yeah. Because you're a team, and everyone's pulling on that
127
00:05:14.509 --> 00:05:16.089
same chain, and that's how it's supposed to work.
128
00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:17.949
And, yeah, call it out when it's supposed to be
129
00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:18.670
called out. Yeah.
130
00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:20.589
And, I mean, like, do you ever feel like, you know,
131
00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:23.910
the captain– he doesn't have to be the lone voice, right?
132
00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:25.480
It should be, like you said, you should be able
133
00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:27.800
to stand up and be like, even if that's your
134
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.339
best friend on the team, you'd be like, dude, get
135
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.079
your head out of your ass.
136
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:31.899
Like, what's going on out there?
137
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.819
Especially when you know, you know, certain guys you really know.
138
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.120
And it's like, listen, I know who you are. I
139
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:36.949
know what type of person you are.
140
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:37.420
We need you.
141
00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:39.069
And listen, you need to get going. I need to
142
00:05:39.110 --> 00:05:40.810
get going. And you don't need a letter. I never
143
00:05:40.850 --> 00:05:42.269
wore a letter when I was here.
144
00:05:42.870 --> 00:05:44.509
And I voiced what I thought I needed to be voiced.
145
00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:46.930
But then we also had so many guys doing it.
146
00:05:46.970 --> 00:05:49.730
It was always, you know, helping each other out and,
147
00:05:50.110 --> 00:05:51.839
you know, Everybody was a leader.
148
00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:54.160
Everyone was a leader. But everyone led in the way
149
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:56.540
of knowing their role and wanted to take care of
150
00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:56.959
that role.
151
00:05:56.980 --> 00:05:59.100
And leading in the same direction.
152
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.120
Yeah. My role is a certain role, and I had
153
00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:02.139
to do that role.
154
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.199
And if I veered off that role, which we all
155
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.079
do at times because we're human, then we had the coach,
156
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.019
we had GM, we had our other leaders saying, listen,
157
00:06:10.629 --> 00:06:11.889
we just need to be an up and down, do
158
00:06:11.910 --> 00:06:12.529
what you need to do.
159
00:06:12.550 --> 00:06:14.610
Because that's what we're going to be successful in. And
160
00:06:14.649 --> 00:06:17.829
that helps. That helps. It's not a bad thing. It's
161
00:06:17.870 --> 00:06:19.569
a good thing. Because you want to stay in this league.
162
00:06:19.589 --> 00:06:21.509
You want to help your organization. You want to play
163
00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:25.129
for the fans, and you want this constructive.
164
00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:25.389
Business in a positive way.
165
00:06:25.769 --> 00:06:26.050
Agreed.
166
00:06:26.129 --> 00:06:28.319
And, I mean, like, it's early in the year. I mean,
167
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:28.980
five games in.
168
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.579
Like we said before, I don't think it's time to panic.
169
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.480
You said 42 games in. That's really where you get
170
00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:39.220
the really big snapshot. You know, Lou Lamoureux was always
171
00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:41.639
famous for the 10-game windows of how did you do
172
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.019
in these 10 games, how did you do in those
173
00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:43.259
10 games.
174
00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:44.699
But they've got to get going.
175
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.480
They've got to get going.
176
00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:46.019
They've got to get going.
177
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.629
And this is a perfect game. for them to get going.
178
00:06:48.649 --> 00:06:52.490
And now shooting them 15 to 3, right? Like, it
179
00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:54.550
feels like they're... Yeah, they can't change.
180
00:06:54.670 --> 00:06:56.800
They can't. They're right on the cusp.
181
00:06:56.810 --> 00:06:57.100
That's right.
182
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:57.649
Right on the cusp.
183
00:06:57.689 --> 00:06:59.339
And we got to get going because the game is
184
00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:03.459
going on and there's fans out here wanting to meet Grant.
185
00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:05.420
But thank you, Grant, for stopping in.
186
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.540
You guys are always good people. Always great to see you.
187
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.040
You're always good people. You're good at what you do
188
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.189
and just keep doing it.
189
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:11.800
Thank you very much. We appreciate the time.
190
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.439
Thank you, Grant. You guys are awesome. Thank you. All right.
191
00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:18.370
So we'll be back next intermission. You don't know who's
192
00:07:18.389 --> 00:07:22.379
going to stop by. Thank you, Grant. Until next time,
193
00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:23.449
let's go Devils.
194
00:07:23.490 --> 00:07:24.350
Enjoy the game, everybody.
1
00:00:01.189 --> 00:00:07.080
You guys don't age. You guys don't age.
2
00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:07.879
Working out now, yeah?
3
00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:09.500
Oh, yeah, they're working out. No way.
4
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.359
I wish. I should.
5
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:13.150
Shouldn't we all?
6
00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:14.830
You go to the doctor's office. He's like, have you
7
00:00:14.849 --> 00:00:16.390
been doing anything? I'm like, not a thing. He's like,
8
00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:16.850
I can tell.
9
00:00:16.989 --> 00:00:19.589
I came here. Yeah. I came to the doctor's office.
10
00:00:19.870 --> 00:00:20.329
Yeah.
11
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:22.679
I'm here.
12
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.039
Don't put that cuff on me. I don't need to
13
00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:25.140
see it.
14
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.079
So I kind of want to get your thoughts about
15
00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:30.800
what your thoughts are of the season so far.
16
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.079
We're only five games in, so you can't overreact. You
17
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:33.799
can't underreact.
18
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:38.060
It feels like it's a very, I don't know, it's
19
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:39.579
a little bit tricky to kind of gauge where this
20
00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:41.509
team is right now. I mean, there's a lot of
21
00:00:41.549 --> 00:00:44.700
new players, we understand. It seems like there's a new
22
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:50.310
guy in each line. But last night's game and the
23
00:00:50.329 --> 00:00:54.990
other two losses, It just doesn't seem like everything is
24
00:00:55.109 --> 00:00:56.130
fully gelling.
25
00:00:56.149 --> 00:00:58.090
I'm a fan. What the hell do I know?
26
00:00:58.149 --> 00:01:00.549
I'm watching it from the seats.
27
00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:01.670
You're not wrong.
28
00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:07.900
It's so hard because a couple of seasons we'll start 9-1, 8-2, 10-2,
29
00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:12.060
and fans are like, oh my gosh, this could be
30
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:12.560
our year.
31
00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:14.420
We're going to order the rings and get ready.
32
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.609
I'm like, let's just pump the brakes. Let's just give
33
00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:19.530
it to the halfway mark. Game 41, 42, around there.
34
00:01:21.890 --> 00:01:23.750
And, you know, kind of the way we've come out
35
00:01:23.790 --> 00:01:24.810
of the gates right now is.
36
00:01:24.769 --> 00:01:27.390
A bit, you know, sluggish and not the way we
37
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.719
probably expect it to be. But, again, we've still got
38
00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:32.480
to kind of give it some time. We always like
39
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:33.920
to get out with a good start. We haven't really
40
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.540
done that yet. And we hope it's a couple things,
41
00:01:37.819 --> 00:01:41.180
the cohesiveness and, you know, gelling together. And once that
42
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.549
all comes together, hopefully we'll kind of hit our stride. So, again,
43
00:01:46.569 --> 00:01:49.450
I still want to stick with what I say. You know,
44
00:01:49.549 --> 00:01:52.829
game 41, 42 is where we're at. Now, if we
45
00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:57.730
end up being like three and 20, 18.
46
00:01:57.739 --> 00:01:59.579
Then I'm worried. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.620
Then we're in big trouble.
48
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:01.980
We're cooked.
49
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.739
We're cooked, yeah.
50
00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:04.859
But, you know, let's just see where we're at. Let's
51
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:06.780
give it some time here. But they've got to get going.
52
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:09.240
So, from a player's perspective, like if you're in a
53
00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:11.979
season like this, I mean, I think the hardest part
54
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.689
is the expectations, not just from the fan base, but,
55
00:02:14.810 --> 00:02:16.210
you know, even the media.
56
00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:17.969
Everybody outside of.
57
00:02:17.969 --> 00:02:21.110
The clubhouse is basically saying, you know, this team needs
58
00:02:21.129 --> 00:02:23.650
to take that next big step. But from your perspective
59
00:02:23.689 --> 00:02:25.830
as a player, like, how much of that outside noise
60
00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:28.500
are you guys actually hearing? When you're in a locker room,
61
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:32.060
is it more so you're just focused on the immediate, right?
62
00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:32.360
Well, yeah.
63
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.569
I mean, you hear it a little bit. You read it.
64
00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:36.300
We're all humans. Yeah.
65
00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:39.409
But... The pressure that they put on themselves to want
66
00:02:39.449 --> 00:02:42.949
to be great, to want to do well for the fans,
67
00:02:44.110 --> 00:02:46.110
for the organization, for them personally.
68
00:02:46.669 --> 00:02:47.560
Is really, really high.
69
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.159
So, you know, even though it's frustrating from a fan standpoint,
70
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.240
which I absolutely understand and respect, they're feeling it themselves.
71
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:56.800
They put it on themselves because they want to put
72
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.650
on a good product for the fans and for themselves
73
00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:00.370
and for the organization.
74
00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:03.699
So, you know, they read it. We all do a
75
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.000
little bit to the point, but.
76
00:03:05.020 --> 00:03:06.620
We don't let it, you know, we've got enough that
77
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:07.300
we have to worry.
78
00:03:07.139 --> 00:03:09.659
About, making sure that we're, you know, whatever type of
79
00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.539
player you are, you're doing your job and doing your
80
00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:14.639
role and maximizing that to help the team win. So
81
00:03:14.699 --> 00:03:15.719
that's really the main focus.
82
00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:19.090
Yeah, and we also talked about earlier, you know, there's
83
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.750
also a lot of noise around Sheldon Keefe. You know,
84
00:03:21.870 --> 00:03:27.110
either it's rightfully so or not, unfortunately, because another guy
85
00:03:27.129 --> 00:03:28.650
that has lofty expectations as well.
86
00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:31.310
After last season, there was a lot of injuries. There
87
00:03:31.330 --> 00:03:32.389
was a lot of things that happened.
88
00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:36.340
It was super unfortunate that the Devils lost Jack for
89
00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:38.180
a good portion of that year, which really kind of
90
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.280
torpedoed everything that was going on. Comes into this year,
91
00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:45.639
and you can almost sense that he's not shy to
92
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.560
call things out this year. Like I said, this is
93
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.780
all from a perspective of a fan looking at it
94
00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:54.719
from afar, where you see this year he's the second
95
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:56.740
goal that they let up last night, for example, right?
96
00:03:57.349 --> 00:03:58.409
He was talking to.
97
00:03:58.409 --> 00:04:01.189
Amanda Stein after the game and he says, we had
98
00:04:01.270 --> 00:04:03.289
our most veteran line out there.
99
00:04:03.610 --> 00:04:06.430
That's unacceptable. Where I feel like in the past, maybe
100
00:04:06.449 --> 00:04:07.370
he's not calling that out.
101
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:10.069
As a player, do you respond? Are you going to
102
00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:13.430
respond to I mean, you had Pat Burns.
103
00:04:13.969 --> 00:04:15.289
We had all of us.
104
00:04:15.310 --> 00:04:17.420
When I came over, I won a cup already when
105
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.620
I came over. So we had oh my gosh. We
106
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:23.720
all knew Stevens and that was our captain to a degree.
107
00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:27.720
Our head captain. The Martys and the Patricks and And
108
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.089
then Madden's, and then there's myself, Langenberg. So there's so
109
00:04:31.110 --> 00:04:33.490
many guys that do this. We all take it.
110
00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:36.750
To heart and take pride in it and are vocal
111
00:04:36.769 --> 00:04:37.110
about it.
112
00:04:38.089 --> 00:04:40.250
You just don't see that in the locker rooms as
113
00:04:40.310 --> 00:04:45.680
much anymore, having that amount of veterans and games played
114
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.560
and cups that's won to voice their disapproval or whatnot,
115
00:04:52.540 --> 00:04:53.699
constructive criticism.
116
00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:53.930
In the locker room.
117
00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:55.569
So it is nice to see that, and they need
118
00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:56.990
more of it. And they need to be... They need
119
00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:59.470
to be accountable. Yeah. They need to, you know, it's bullshit.
120
00:04:59.509 --> 00:05:02.000
We need to get going. Yeah. And need to say that.
121
00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:02.519
Yeah.
122
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.819
And not be afraid to stand up in the locker
123
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:06.860
room and say, call everybody.
124
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.639
And you're going to call somebody else. You've got to
125
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.220
call yourself up when it's not going well.
126
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.449
Yeah. Because you're a team, and everyone's pulling on that
127
00:05:14.509 --> 00:05:16.089
same chain, and that's how it's supposed to work.
128
00:05:16.170 --> 00:05:17.949
And, yeah, call it out when it's supposed to be
129
00:05:17.970 --> 00:05:18.670
called out. Yeah.
130
00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:20.589
And, I mean, like, do you ever feel like, you know,
131
00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:23.910
the captain– he doesn't have to be the lone voice, right?
132
00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:25.480
It should be, like you said, you should be able
133
00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:27.800
to stand up and be like, even if that's your
134
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.339
best friend on the team, you'd be like, dude, get
135
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.079
your head out of your ass.
136
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:31.899
Like, what's going on out there?
137
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.819
Especially when you know, you know, certain guys you really know.
138
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.120
And it's like, listen, I know who you are. I
139
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:36.949
know what type of person you are.
140
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:37.420
We need you.
141
00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:39.069
And listen, you need to get going. I need to
142
00:05:39.110 --> 00:05:40.810
get going. And you don't need a letter. I never
143
00:05:40.850 --> 00:05:42.269
wore a letter when I was here.
144
00:05:42.870 --> 00:05:44.509
And I voiced what I thought I needed to be voiced.
145
00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:46.930
But then we also had so many guys doing it.
146
00:05:46.970 --> 00:05:49.730
It was always, you know, helping each other out and,
147
00:05:50.110 --> 00:05:51.839
you know, Everybody was a leader.
148
00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:54.160
Everyone was a leader. But everyone led in the way
149
00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:56.540
of knowing their role and wanted to take care of
150
00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:56.959
that role.
151
00:05:56.980 --> 00:05:59.100
And leading in the same direction.
152
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.120
Yeah. My role is a certain role, and I had
153
00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:02.139
to do that role.
154
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.199
And if I veered off that role, which we all
155
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.079
do at times because we're human, then we had the coach,
156
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.019
we had GM, we had our other leaders saying, listen,
157
00:06:10.629 --> 00:06:11.889
we just need to be an up and down, do
158
00:06:11.910 --> 00:06:12.529
what you need to do.
159
00:06:12.550 --> 00:06:14.610
Because that's what we're going to be successful in. And
160
00:06:14.649 --> 00:06:17.829
that helps. That helps. It's not a bad thing. It's
161
00:06:17.870 --> 00:06:19.569
a good thing. Because you want to stay in this league.
162
00:06:19.589 --> 00:06:21.509
You want to help your organization. You want to play
163
00:06:21.529 --> 00:06:25.129
for the fans, and you want this constructive.
164
00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:25.389
Business in a positive way.
165
00:06:25.769 --> 00:06:26.050
Agreed.
166
00:06:26.129 --> 00:06:28.319
And, I mean, like, it's early in the year. I mean,
167
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:28.980
five games in.
168
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.579
Like we said before, I don't think it's time to panic.
169
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.480
You said 42 games in. That's really where you get
170
00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:39.220
the really big snapshot. You know, Lou Lamoureux was always
171
00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:41.639
famous for the 10-game windows of how did you do
172
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.019
in these 10 games, how did you do in those
173
00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:43.259
10 games.
174
00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:44.699
But they've got to get going.
175
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.480
They've got to get going.
176
00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:46.019
They've got to get going.
177
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.629
And this is a perfect game. for them to get going.
178
00:06:48.649 --> 00:06:52.490
And now shooting them 15 to 3, right? Like, it
179
00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:54.550
feels like they're... Yeah, they can't change.
180
00:06:54.670 --> 00:06:56.800
They can't. They're right on the cusp.
181
00:06:56.810 --> 00:06:57.100
That's right.
182
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:57.649
Right on the cusp.
183
00:06:57.689 --> 00:06:59.339
And we got to get going because the game is
184
00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:03.459
going on and there's fans out here wanting to meet Grant.
185
00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:05.420
But thank you, Grant, for stopping in.
186
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.540

187
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.040
You're always good people. You're good at what you do
188
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:10.189
and just keep doing it.
189
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:11.800
Thank you very much. We appreciate the time.
190
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.439
Thank you, Grant. You guys are awesome. Thank you. All right.
191
00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:18.370
So we'll be back next intermission. You don't know who's
192
00:07:18.389 --> 00:07:22.379
going to stop by. Thank you, Grant. Until next time,
193
00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:23.449
let's go Devils.
194

Enjoy the game, everybody.
