00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:10.880
Yes, I love Morning Morning, mon.

Rise and Shine. Happy Devil's Wednesday. This is the Morning

inside the Bunker in an undisclosed location in beautiful New Jersey.

Stream it live on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, x Live,

Twitch and now Instagram Live on the Let's Go Devil's network.
7
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.320
As it is a beautiful, happy Devil's Wednesday on a
8
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:54.280
very calm autumn day, the temperature is starting to get
9
00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:01.320
colder as the Devil's return back home to the Rock
10
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:10.879
tomorrow night, seven pm Eastern start against the Montreal Canadiens.
11
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.480
We'll have Game Day Live and Devil's after Dark at
12
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:21.640
American Whiskey. Back to our normal times. Yesterday got delayed.
13
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.040
Had every intention of doing the Morning WU in the
14
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.200
morning turned out to be a mid morning WU kind
15
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.640
of like the weekend edition. But that's okay. We had
16
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:39.000
a little fun. And I see Wimpy in the YouTube live.
17
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:44.439
I see Tom Moore Woo morning to everyone. Rangers shut
18
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:53.239
out at home again. Hey it happens. I'm enjoying it.
19
00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:02.519
I thrilled anything that any anti Rangers bias I'm all for.
20
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:11.120
I'm all for. But let's We're gonna talk a little
21
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:19.000
bit about the defense because you know, I read a
22
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.639
James Nichols article in New Jersey Hockey Now, James Nichols
23
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.479
a good friend of the Let's go to Elve's podcast,
24
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:34.039
you know about the defense and what what what can
25
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.680
the Devils do while Brett Peschi's out and the title
26
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.000
of the podcast, which is actually episode thirty two, I believe,
27
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:54.840
thirty two straight days of Morning Woo. By the way,
28
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.479
what what can the Devils do with this defense? While
29
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:03.159
Brett Peschi's out and reading the article, I have some
30
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:09.280
ideas on what we can do to kind of fix
31
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.719
the problems. Do the Devils make a trade this early
32
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:19.080
in the season? Do the Devils play a little differently?
33
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.520
Look the Devils? And I kind of agree with James
34
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:32.199
when he wrote the article. The Devil's thrived under Brian
35
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.520
Shaw's defense, but as soon as these injuries started to happen,
36
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.240
I mean, Covid Savitch was was going to be out
37
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.800
before Shaw got there. Brendan Dillon's actually played very well,
38
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:53.759
but when Brett Patty went down, Seagenthaler and Eva should
39
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.280
should be stepping it up. Instead, you're getting inconsistent play
40
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.639
from both plays and I don't know if they're over
41
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.919
compensating or whatnot. But Rett Peschi ate up a lot
42
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.199
of ice time and also was blocking a lot of shots,
43
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:16.040
and it was always that steady presence on defense. Plus
44
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:22.120
the guy can hit. Simon Nemich I thought was doing
45
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:27.279
just fine on that third pairing to start the season.
46
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.319
He was doing fine. We saw you know, we saw
47
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:39.319
you know him developing. But last I don't know. Since
48
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:49.680
the Colorado game. In Colorado, Devil's defense just at times nonexistent,
49
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.240
giving up a tremendous amount of goals. I mean against
50
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.480
the Kings, they gave up one goal, but there are
51
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.800
forty five shots on goal on Jacob March them. Mark
52
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.759
them had to take that take over that game, which
53
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.199
he should have after signing that extension and also having
54
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.639
a giving up eight goals to end the eight game
55
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:21.800
heater in Colorado. Whiby says, having some time to practice
56
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.199
may help, it may help, but this is what the
57
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.680
three days are for. This is what the three days
58
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.480
are for their last game. The Devil's last game was
59
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:37.240
in Anaheim on Sunday. It's Wednesday, and hopefully they can
60
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.120
figure it out, because they better figure it out. Against
61
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.639
the Montreal Canadians. You got the home crowd. Hopefully the
62
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.040
Devils have figured out because Brett Peschi is gonna be
63
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:56.680
out for another three to four weeks. And remember, and
64
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:06.560
this may be a blessing in disguise, and I really
65
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.360
enjoy and I really have embraced for many years the
66
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:22.560
team concept, the next man up, and right now the
67
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.800
Devil's depth has been exposed because we knew that it
68
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.439
was going to be put to the test. And I
69
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.480
think the pieces that they have with Covid, Savage and
70
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:50.800
Peschi out Cholowski and Casey Nemich and Sig they needed,
71
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.319
they're not going to get the job done like Brett Peshi.
72
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.800
And that's something to note, which is why I think
73
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:06.959
James Nichols wrote that article, because well, it's the biggest
74
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.439
achilles heel for the New Jersey Devils right now is
75
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.639
that defense, which was the biggest asset during that eight
76
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:19.319
game heater, when that defense was playing pretty well and
77
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.839
it was very noticeable and their penalty kill was just
78
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:28.839
lights out. Luke Hues can play a little bit better,
79
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.439
but he's been not bad. Brendan Dillon has exceeded our expectations,
80
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.879
but again, let's not make Brendan Dillon a Norris Trophy
81
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:49.920
Defensive Defenseman winner. But the Devils, well, the Devils need
82
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.720
to really really get it together by Thursday. They've got
83
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.800
two big games after today. They got the Montreal Canadians
84
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:07.600
at you know, at seven pm Eastern at the Rock tomorrow,
85
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.079
and then Saturday, you've got that twelve thirty start against
86
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.759
the Pittsburgh Penguins. And the Penguins they are a surprise
87
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.439
and I predicted this. They are a very competitive team
88
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.480
in the Metropolitan Division. I don't think they're going away
89
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:29.600
anytime soon. Tom says, uh Kobe, Brett, Glass, Brown, Dan Andov.
90
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.000
Each injury stretches the depth all over and it hurts
91
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.399
the team, the effort. Yeah, I mean it's all of it.
92
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:55.200
I'm just specifically focused more on the blue line. Let's
93
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.120
see here, missus Wu is now texting me that I
94
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.960
messed up something. I have to look into this because
95
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:06.840
now I'm just like, ugh, oh, yeah, I messed up
96
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.600
the headline. It's supposed to be must step up. I
97
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.120
forgot to put the up. See, this is what happens
98
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.960
when you do things live live at six thirty am
99
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.720
in the morning. Now, here I am telling seeginthaler an
100
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.200
image to step up. And look what I did. I
101
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:31.559
messed up the title again. Uh oh well, I'll fix
102
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.600
that a little later if I can. But X they
103
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.960
won't allow you to do that that easily anyway. But
104
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.759
I will fix that title at least at least on
105
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:49.480
the YouTube live on on the spot. All right, here
106
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:57.039
we go. Good, all right, well let's see here see
107
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:02.360
those that are Instagram live m Our thirteen joining us.
108
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.200
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Wimpy we got woo wagon.
109
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:12.120
Good morning, Happy Devil's Wednesday to you. All right, So
110
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:20.960
one thing I want to dress. Boy, it feels like
111
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:26.639
a slow Devil's newsday, you know, with three games I
112
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:33.879
mean sorry, three days without any Devil's hockey pot Legend says,
113
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.000
good morning all running late this morning. Well, happy Devil's
114
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.519
Wednesday to you, Pot longeons twenty six. Yeah, it's it's
115
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.000
it's I don't know. I when I woke up this morning,
116
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.320
I didn't want to go to work. That's how I
117
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.600
That's how I normally feel. But um, I want to
118
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.440
big give a big shout out. Hopefully I don't mutilize
119
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:04.039
his name to Brian Kenkowski on X channel is at
120
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:11.960
Jersey BK ten give him a big shout out, and
121
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.159
I would like to respond. I figured respond on the
122
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:22.360
podcast versus on X he says, big NJ Devils fan
123
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.600
here and listener of the Let's Go to Old podcast.
124
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:29.120
I just wanted to ask at primetime Sam Wu, which
125
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.000
is me why he always goes out of his way
126
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:39.559
to trash Rutgers University on his podcast. Doesn't seem like
127
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.360
a very smart move to me when most of your
128
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.159
fan base is Jersey and that's the state you and
129
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.200
also well, and I'll also text his response because what
130
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.320
I responded with again, I was doing things quickly yesterday
131
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:05.200
and sorry, I give you Brian a more thorough explanation
132
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.000
number one here on the WU Morning Wu. I want
133
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.000
to make it very clear nowly do we love our truckers.
134
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.879
Not only do we love our healthcare professionals and janitors
135
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.879
amongst others, but we do love our Rutgers alum. I
136
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:29.799
want to put that out there. We love our Rutgers alum,
137
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:41.039
we love our Rutgers students, we love our Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Okay, However, however, however,
138
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.960
my explanation and I'm just going to explain this very
139
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.000
thoroughly and then maybe you may agree, you may disagree,
140
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.639
but I want you to know that, Hey, I want
141
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.440
to explain it to you where I'm coming from. Number one,
142
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.200
I do not have a problem with Rutgers alum. I
143
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.679
have a lot of friends that are Rutgers alum. I
144
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.960
like the bus chops about Big Ten football. It has
145
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.919
nothing to do with your Rutgers degree. A matter of fact,
146
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.120
as a Penn Stater and looking at the US Report
147
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:19.240
News whatever rankings, Rutgers in terms of academics is ranked
148
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.840
higher in twenty twenty five by a few places over
149
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.200
Penn State and overall academics. I think that's something that
150
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.159
the state of New Jersey should be proud of. I'm
151
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.279
all about academics. I like other schools in the state,
152
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:40.960
like Princeton University. I also like the College of New
153
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.960
Jersey used to be called Trenton State. I liked it
154
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:49.200
when Rowan used to be Glassboro State College or University
155
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.080
whatever they used to call it. Then they're Stockton and
156
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.559
all that. So there are a lot of good state
157
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.919
schools in New Jersey and Rutgers. Now. The reason why
158
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.720
I make fun of Rutgers, Okay, for a variety of reasons.
159
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.080
Number one, I just want to say before I give
160
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:12.240
you my reasons that I used to cheer on Rutgers
161
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:19.279
and Rutgers football often being from New Jersey, and even
162
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.360
around two thousand and six, I think that was the
163
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:27.200
year that they beat Louisville. It's like, finally, the state
164
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.440
of New Jersey actually has something going for itself in
165
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.440
terms of college athletics. And I was cheering for Ray
166
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.480
Rice back then. I was cheering for the kicker back then,
167
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:42.440
if he had his name. I was actually very like
168
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.000
happy because being a Penn Stater, it was always odd
169
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.279
to me that Joe Paterno would basically poach every single
170
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.679
talent from New Jersey onto his football team, along with
171
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.600
University of Michigan and all that kind of stuff. But
172
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:03.879
at the time, Rutgers was in a different conference. Fast
173
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:11.399
forward to I don't know twenty thirteen, there were inklings
174
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:19.960
of Rutgers wanting to join the Big Ten and they're like, yeah,
175
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.080
we need to upgrade our facilities, we need to do this, this, this,
176
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.399
We're gonna be Big Ten football. And I'm thinking to myself,
177
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.240
Rutgers is gonna get slaughtered in the Big Ten. And
178
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.919
the only reason why the Big Ten will allow Rutgers
179
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.840
to be in the conference is they want the TV
180
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.879
demographics of the New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia
181
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:49.200
areas anyway, and I knew it was gonna be somewhat
182
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.840
of a disaster because they had it was such an
183
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:57.679
uphill challenge. Well, that thing I sent you, Rutgers Athletics
184
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.080
is like in the whole five one hundred million dollars
185
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.919
because of this, And to me, who's gonna pay for it?
186
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.399
Should the kids in you know, should tuition be paid
187
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.600
for that? Anyway? Long story short, Plus there's a lot
188
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.440
of inside jokes. That's why I make fun of Rutgers
189
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.360
because it's like, come on, you really think you're gonna
190
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.639
do well the Big Ten and all that kind of stuff. Anyway,
191
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.960
I don't know if that explains why, but it's just
192
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.360
more of like, I don't know, it's just a thing.
193
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.240
I don't know. I just don't think Rutgers should have
194
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.200
ever went to the Big Ten. They were fine where
195
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.120
they were, and I think I'd rather see Rutgers have
196
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.159
success in another conference, but in the Big Ten it's
197
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.519
almost impossible right now, there's twenty eighteen, twenty teams in
198
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:50.960
the Big ten and all that. Now, again, we love
199
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.960
our Rutgers alone, we love Rutgers education, and I'll just
200
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.919
leave it at that. So I just want to respond
201
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:02.080
to you on that, because you know, the one thing
202
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.359
that caught my attention was that when you wrote, doesn't
203
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.799
seem like a very smart move to me when you're
204
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.960
most of your fan basis Jersey and that's the state
205
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.039
you but here on the Let's Go Devils podcast, we
206
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.880
don't hide our feelings, so and it'd be I would
207
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:24.640
be actually disingenuous and a phony if I told you
208
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:28.559
you know something different. So yeah, I'll tone it down.
209
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.119
I'll tone it down because I don't want to hurt
210
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.880
your feelings. That's not the goal here obviously, and you're
211
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.880
absolutely correct it doesn't seem like a smart move. But
212
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.559
at the same time, I don't want to be a
213
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.720
phony and tell you what you want to hear when
214
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.880
you know, I think something else. Being in the media
215
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:48.519
industry for before I started doing this podcast, I spent
216
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.759
a considerable amount of time in the NHL media, and
217
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:58.359
I can tell you people would say things on paper
218
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.880
and on live air, but I know them personally, they
219
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.079
think otherwise, but they're just saying it just to make
220
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.599
everybody happy. That's not what this podcast is about. I
221
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.960
think that's the success of the Let's Go Devil's podcast
222
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:19.519
really is that we're able to have civil, sometimes tens
223
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:24.559
conversations about hockey topics issues, but we all have this
224
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.200
common goal of being a New Jersey Devil's fan and
225
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.079
you know, and letting lose but also respect our fellow fan.
226
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.240
So that's what makes the Let's Go Delve's podcast unique,
227
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:43.240
is that Beer Barren, Shorts, Guy Scottie, Nick Volano especially,
228
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.480
and Vinnie Parisi. The stuff we say on air is
229
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.039
how we really feel. We are very transparent and honest
230
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.960
and we rather have that than just, you know, trying
231
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.680
to pease a demographic. So I hope that explains that
232
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.119
you're probably like Brian, You're probably like you didn't need
233
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.079
to get into all of that. But basically I'm just
234
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.079
having a little fun with it. But really we do
235
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.599
love our Rutgers alum. I will say though, even though
236
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.799
this is stupid for me to say, but I'll say
237
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.799
it anyway. I yeah, maybe I won't say it anyway,
238
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.519
not to bore you. About Rutgers because this is a
239
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:31.920
let's go to TH's podcast. So I want the defense.
240
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.640
I want that defense to be excellent. I want that
241
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.720
defense to play within the system. But dude, the Devils
242
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.920
have the horses to play Brian Shaw's system, and that's
243
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.160
the I think that's the real question. I think Seagan
244
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.599
Doller has to play better. I think Nemes your second
245
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.480
overall pick. You need to play better. You're expected to
246
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:08.559
play better. And I'm still just dumbfounding how one player,
247
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.400
Brett Peshi, goes down and it all collapses. It shouldn't
248
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:17.839
be that way. It shouldn't. So Tom says later, all
249
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.480
gotta work, Yeah, we all gotta work. Oh shoot, actually
250
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.559
it's seven o five am Eastern. I gotta work as well.
251
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.480
All right, Well, I want to thank all those tuning
252
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:33.039
into the morning WU dropping the podcast in about ten minutes.
253
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.759
If there's anything breaking or any new news, there could
254
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:43.880
be a midday WU report just to you know, brush
255
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:48.359
up on things. Uh. You know, it sucks having three
256
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.680
days of no Devil's hockey. Like I said, like, my
257
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.799
whole routine is all screwed up right now. I gotta
258
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.880
get back into that routine. Yesterday got screwed up. I'm
259
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.319
like lost my way when the morning wou was actually
260
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.759
mid morning during the week. Shouldn't happen too often, but
261
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.279
it did. All right, SELECTI voice says, Damn, I'm late.
262
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:13.839
Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. What's up,
263
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:19.960
Devil's folks, But I hope this podcast will give you
264
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.000
some relief from all the crazy things that are going
265
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.480
in this world. Sometimes you just need to talk Devil's
266
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.519
Hockey to make sense of it all. Anyway, all right,
267
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:38.880
hitting the music right now. The ceremonial sit we talked
268
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:45.559
about the defense. We talked about guys stepping up could
269
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.599
be a possibility, and.
270
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:51.559
Maybe adding to that defense as Brett Peschi is down,
271
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.599
which has exposed the possible truth how good the Devils
272
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.559
are and their depth, but also what we learned.
273
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.519
We love our Rutgers alum as well. I want to
274
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.319
make that point. So I'm making a toast to all
275
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:10.839
of you, to the defense, to Rutgers alum, and to
276
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.160
all Devils fans out there for the ceremonial sip of
277
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:29.559
this highly caffeinated beverage to that I drink. All right,
278
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.119
getting out of here. This is the morning. Woo. Until
279
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.680
next time, let's go devils will.
280
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:49.119
I love you and I need you money. I love you,
1
00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:10.880
Yes, I love Morning Morning, mon.
2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:19.879
Rise and Shine. Happy Devil's Wednesday. This is the Morning
3
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.239

Stream it live on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, x Live,

Twitch and now Instagram Live on the Let's Go Devil's network.
7
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.320
As it is a beautiful, happy Devil's Wednesday on a
8
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:54.280
very calm autumn day, the temperature is starting to get
9
00:00:54.280 --> 00:01:01.320
colder as the Devil's return back home to the Rock
10
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:10.879
tomorrow night, seven pm Eastern start against the Montreal Canadiens.
11
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.480
We'll have Game Day Live and Devil's after Dark at
12
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:21.640
American Whiskey. Back to our normal times. Yesterday got delayed.
13
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.040
Had every intention of doing the Morning WU in the
14
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.200
morning turned out to be a mid morning WU kind
15
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:32.640
of like the weekend edition. But that's okay. We had
16
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:39.000
a little fun. And I see Wimpy in the YouTube live.
17
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:44.439
I see Tom Moore Woo morning to everyone. Rangers shut
18
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:53.239
out at home again. Hey it happens. I'm enjoying it.
19
00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:02.519
I thrilled anything that any anti Rangers bias I'm all for.
20
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:11.120
I'm all for. But let's We're gonna talk a little
21
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:19.000
bit about the defense because you know, I read a
22
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.639
James Nichols article in New Jersey Hockey Now, James Nichols
23
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.479
a good friend of the Let's go to Elve's podcast,
24
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:34.039
you know about the defense and what what what can
25
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.680
the Devils do while Brett Peschi's out and the title
26
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.000
of the podcast, which is actually episode thirty two, I believe,
27
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:54.840
thirty two straight days of Morning Woo. By the way,
28
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.479
what what can the Devils do with this defense? While
29
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:03.159
Brett Peschi's out and reading the article, I have some
30
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:09.280
ideas on what we can do to kind of fix
31
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.719
the problems. Do the Devils make a trade this early
32
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:19.080
in the season? Do the Devils play a little differently?
33
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.520
Look the Devils? And I kind of agree with James
34
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:32.199
when he wrote the article. The Devil's thrived under Brian
35
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.520
Shaw's defense, but as soon as these injuries started to happen,
36
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.240
I mean, Covid Savitch was was going to be out
37
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.800
before Shaw got there. Brendan Dillon's actually played very well,
38
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:53.759
but when Brett Patty went down, Seagenthaler and Eva should
39
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.280
should be stepping it up. Instead, you're getting inconsistent play
40
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.639
from both plays and I don't know if they're over
41
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.919
compensating or whatnot. But Rett Peschi ate up a lot
42
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.199
of ice time and also was blocking a lot of shots,
43
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:16.040
and it was always that steady presence on defense. Plus
44
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:22.120
the guy can hit. Simon Nemich I thought was doing
45
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:27.279
just fine on that third pairing to start the season.
46
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.319
He was doing fine. We saw you know, we saw
47
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:39.319
you know him developing. But last I don't know. Since
48
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:49.680
the Colorado game. In Colorado, Devil's defense just at times nonexistent,
49
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.240
giving up a tremendous amount of goals. I mean against
50
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.480
the Kings, they gave up one goal, but there are
51
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.800
forty five shots on goal on Jacob March them. Mark
52
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.759
them had to take that take over that game, which
53
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.199
he should have after signing that extension and also having
54
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.639
a giving up eight goals to end the eight game
55
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:21.800
heater in Colorado. Whiby says, having some time to practice
56
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.199
may help, it may help, but this is what the
57
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.680
three days are for. This is what the three days
58
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.480
are for their last game. The Devil's last game was
59
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:37.240
in Anaheim on Sunday. It's Wednesday, and hopefully they can
60
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.120
figure it out, because they better figure it out. Against
61
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.639
the Montreal Canadians. You got the home crowd. Hopefully the
62
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:48.040
Devils have figured out because Brett Peschi is gonna be
63
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:56.680
out for another three to four weeks. And remember, and
64
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:06.560
this may be a blessing in disguise, and I really
65
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.360
enjoy and I really have embraced for many years the
66
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:22.560
team concept, the next man up, and right now the
67
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.800
Devil's depth has been exposed because we knew that it
68
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.439
was going to be put to the test. And I
69
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.480
think the pieces that they have with Covid, Savage and
70
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:50.800
Peschi out Cholowski and Casey Nemich and Sig they needed,
71
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.319
they're not going to get the job done like Brett Peshi.
72
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.800
And that's something to note, which is why I think
73
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:06.959
James Nichols wrote that article, because well, it's the biggest
74
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.439
achilles heel for the New Jersey Devils right now is
75
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.639
that defense, which was the biggest asset during that eight
76
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:19.319
game heater, when that defense was playing pretty well and
77
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.839
it was very noticeable and their penalty kill was just
78
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:28.839
lights out. Luke Hues can play a little bit better,
79
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:33.439
but he's been not bad. Brendan Dillon has exceeded our expectations,
80
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.879
but again, let's not make Brendan Dillon a Norris Trophy
81
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:49.920
Defensive Defenseman winner. But the Devils, well, the Devils need
82
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.720
to really really get it together by Thursday. They've got
83
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.800
two big games after today. They got the Montreal Canadians
84
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:07.600
at you know, at seven pm Eastern at the Rock tomorrow,
85
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.079
and then Saturday, you've got that twelve thirty start against
86
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.759
the Pittsburgh Penguins. And the Penguins they are a surprise
87
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.439
and I predicted this. They are a very competitive team
88
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:22.480
in the Metropolitan Division. I don't think they're going away
89
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:29.600
anytime soon. Tom says, uh Kobe, Brett, Glass, Brown, Dan Andov.
90
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.000
Each injury stretches the depth all over and it hurts
91
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.399
the team, the effort. Yeah, I mean it's all of it.
92
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:55.200
I'm just specifically focused more on the blue line. Let's
93
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.120
see here, missus Wu is now texting me that I
94
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.960
messed up something. I have to look into this because
95
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:06.840
now I'm just like, ugh, oh, yeah, I messed up
96
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.600
the headline. It's supposed to be must step up. I
97
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.120
forgot to put the up. See, this is what happens
98
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.960
when you do things live live at six thirty am
99
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.720
in the morning. Now, here I am telling seeginthaler an
100
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.200
image to step up. And look what I did. I
101
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:31.559
messed up the title again. Uh oh well, I'll fix
102
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.600
that a little later if I can. But X they
103
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.960
won't allow you to do that that easily anyway. But
104
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.759
I will fix that title at least at least on
105
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:49.480
the YouTube live on on the spot. All right, here
106
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:57.039
we go. Good, all right, well let's see here see
107
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:02.360
those that are Instagram live m Our thirteen joining us.
108
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.200
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Wimpy we got woo wagon.
109
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:12.120
Good morning, Happy Devil's Wednesday to you. All right, So
110
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:20.960
one thing I want to dress. Boy, it feels like
111
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:26.639
a slow Devil's newsday, you know, with three games I
112
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:33.879
mean sorry, three days without any Devil's hockey pot Legend says,
113
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.000
good morning all running late this morning. Well, happy Devil's
114
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.519
Wednesday to you, Pot longeons twenty six. Yeah, it's it's
115
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.000
it's I don't know. I when I woke up this morning,
116
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.320
I didn't want to go to work. That's how I
117
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.600
That's how I normally feel. But um, I want to
118
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:56.440
big give a big shout out. Hopefully I don't mutilize
119
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:04.039
his name to Brian Kenkowski on X channel is at
120
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:11.960
Jersey BK ten give him a big shout out, and
121
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.159
I would like to respond. I figured respond on the
122
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:22.360
podcast versus on X he says, big NJ Devils fan
123
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.600
here and listener of the Let's Go to Old podcast.
124
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:29.120
I just wanted to ask at primetime Sam Wu, which
125
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.000
is me why he always goes out of his way
126
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:39.559
to trash Rutgers University on his podcast. Doesn't seem like
127
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.360
a very smart move to me when most of your
128
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:50.159
fan base is Jersey and that's the state you and
129
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.200
also well, and I'll also text his response because what
130
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.320
I responded with again, I was doing things quickly yesterday
131
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:05.200
and sorry, I give you Brian a more thorough explanation
132
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.000
number one here on the WU Morning Wu. I want
133
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:16.000
to make it very clear nowly do we love our truckers.
134
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.879
Not only do we love our healthcare professionals and janitors
135
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.879
amongst others, but we do love our Rutgers alum. I
136
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:29.799
want to put that out there. We love our Rutgers alum,
137
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:41.039
we love our Rutgers students, we love our Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Okay, However, however, however,
138
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.960
my explanation and I'm just going to explain this very
139
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.000
thoroughly and then maybe you may agree, you may disagree,
140
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.639
but I want you to know that, Hey, I want
141
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.440
to explain it to you where I'm coming from. Number one,
142
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.200
I do not have a problem with Rutgers alum. I
143
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.679
have a lot of friends that are Rutgers alum. I
144
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.960
like the bus chops about Big Ten football. It has
145
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.919
nothing to do with your Rutgers degree. A matter of fact,
146
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.120
as a Penn Stater and looking at the US Report
147
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:19.240
News whatever rankings, Rutgers in terms of academics is ranked
148
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.840
higher in twenty twenty five by a few places over
149
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.200
Penn State and overall academics. I think that's something that
150
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:30.159
the state of New Jersey should be proud of. I'm
151
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.279
all about academics. I like other schools in the state,
152
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:40.960
like Princeton University. I also like the College of New
153
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.960
Jersey used to be called Trenton State. I liked it
154
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:49.200
when Rowan used to be Glassboro State College or University
155
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.080
whatever they used to call it. Then they're Stockton and
156
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.559
all that. So there are a lot of good state
157
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.919
schools in New Jersey and Rutgers. Now. The reason why
158
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:04.720
I make fun of Rutgers, Okay, for a variety of reasons.
159
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.080
Number one, I just want to say before I give
160
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:12.240
you my reasons that I used to cheer on Rutgers
161
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:19.279
and Rutgers football often being from New Jersey, and even
162
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.360
around two thousand and six, I think that was the
163
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:27.200
year that they beat Louisville. It's like, finally, the state
164
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.440
of New Jersey actually has something going for itself in
165
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:35.440
terms of college athletics. And I was cheering for Ray
166
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.480
Rice back then. I was cheering for the kicker back then,
167
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:42.440
if he had his name. I was actually very like
168
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.000
happy because being a Penn Stater, it was always odd
169
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.279
to me that Joe Paterno would basically poach every single
170
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.679
talent from New Jersey onto his football team, along with
171
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.600
University of Michigan and all that kind of stuff. But
172
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:03.879
at the time, Rutgers was in a different conference. Fast
173
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:11.399
forward to I don't know twenty thirteen, there were inklings
174
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:19.960
of Rutgers wanting to join the Big Ten and they're like, yeah,
175
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.080
we need to upgrade our facilities, we need to do this, this, this,
176
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.399
We're gonna be Big Ten football. And I'm thinking to myself,
177
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.240
Rutgers is gonna get slaughtered in the Big Ten. And
178
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:34.919
the only reason why the Big Ten will allow Rutgers
179
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.840
to be in the conference is they want the TV
180
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.879
demographics of the New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia
181
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:49.200
areas anyway, and I knew it was gonna be somewhat
182
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.840
of a disaster because they had it was such an
183
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:57.679
uphill challenge. Well, that thing I sent you, Rutgers Athletics
184
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.080
is like in the whole five one hundred million dollars
185
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.919
because of this, And to me, who's gonna pay for it?
186
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.399
Should the kids in you know, should tuition be paid
187
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.600
for that? Anyway? Long story short, Plus there's a lot
188
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.440
of inside jokes. That's why I make fun of Rutgers
189
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.360
because it's like, come on, you really think you're gonna
190
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:21.639
do well the Big Ten and all that kind of stuff. Anyway,
191
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.960
I don't know if that explains why, but it's just
192
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:28.360
more of like, I don't know, it's just a thing.
193
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.240
I don't know. I just don't think Rutgers should have
194
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.200
ever went to the Big Ten. They were fine where
195
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.120
they were, and I think I'd rather see Rutgers have
196
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.159
success in another conference, but in the Big Ten it's
197
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.519
almost impossible right now, there's twenty eighteen, twenty teams in
198
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:50.960
the Big ten and all that. Now, again, we love
199
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.960
our Rutgers alone, we love Rutgers education, and I'll just
200
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.919
leave it at that. So I just want to respond
201
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:02.080
to you on that, because you know, the one thing
202
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.359
that caught my attention was that when you wrote, doesn't
203
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.799
seem like a very smart move to me when you're
204
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.960
most of your fan basis Jersey and that's the state
205
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.039
you but here on the Let's Go Devils podcast, we
206
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.880
don't hide our feelings, so and it'd be I would
207
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:24.640
be actually disingenuous and a phony if I told you
208
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:28.559
you know something different. So yeah, I'll tone it down.
209
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.119
I'll tone it down because I don't want to hurt
210
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.880
your feelings. That's not the goal here obviously, and you're
211
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.880
absolutely correct it doesn't seem like a smart move. But
212
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.559
at the same time, I don't want to be a
213
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.720
phony and tell you what you want to hear when
214
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.880
you know, I think something else. Being in the media
215
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:48.519
industry for before I started doing this podcast, I spent
216
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.759
a considerable amount of time in the NHL media, and
217
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:58.359
I can tell you people would say things on paper
218
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.880
and on live air, but I know them personally, they
219
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.079
think otherwise, but they're just saying it just to make
220
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.599
everybody happy. That's not what this podcast is about. I
221
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.960
think that's the success of the Let's Go Devil's podcast
222
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:19.519
really is that we're able to have civil, sometimes tens
223
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:24.559
conversations about hockey topics issues, but we all have this
224
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:28.200
common goal of being a New Jersey Devil's fan and
225
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.079
you know, and letting lose but also respect our fellow fan.
226
00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.240
So that's what makes the Let's Go Delve's podcast unique,
227
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:43.240
is that Beer Barren, Shorts, Guy Scottie, Nick Volano especially,
228
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.480
and Vinnie Parisi. The stuff we say on air is
229
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:51.039
how we really feel. We are very transparent and honest
230
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.960
and we rather have that than just, you know, trying
231
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.680
to pease a demographic. So I hope that explains that
232
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.119
you're probably like Brian, You're probably like you didn't need
233
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.079
to get into all of that. But basically I'm just
234
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.079
having a little fun with it. But really we do
235
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.599
love our Rutgers alum. I will say though, even though
236
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.799
this is stupid for me to say, but I'll say
237
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.799
it anyway. I yeah, maybe I won't say it anyway,
238
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.519
not to bore you. About Rutgers because this is a
239
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:31.920
let's go to TH's podcast. So I want the defense.
240
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.640
I want that defense to be excellent. I want that
241
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.720
defense to play within the system. But dude, the Devils
242
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.920
have the horses to play Brian Shaw's system, and that's
243
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.160
the I think that's the real question. I think Seagan
244
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.599
Doller has to play better. I think Nemes your second
245
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:02.480
overall pick. You need to play better. You're expected to
246
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:08.559
play better. And I'm still just dumbfounding how one player,
247
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.400
Brett Peshi, goes down and it all collapses. It shouldn't
248
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:17.839
be that way. It shouldn't. So Tom says later, all
249
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.480
gotta work, Yeah, we all gotta work. Oh shoot, actually
250
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:25.559
it's seven o five am Eastern. I gotta work as well.
251
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.480
All right, Well, I want to thank all those tuning
252
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:33.039
into the morning WU dropping the podcast in about ten minutes.
253
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.759
If there's anything breaking or any new news, there could
254
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:43.880
be a midday WU report just to you know, brush
255
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:48.359
up on things. Uh. You know, it sucks having three
256
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.680
days of no Devil's hockey. Like I said, like, my
257
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.799
whole routine is all screwed up right now. I gotta
258
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.880
get back into that routine. Yesterday got screwed up. I'm
259
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.319
like lost my way when the morning wou was actually
260
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.759
mid morning during the week. Shouldn't happen too often, but
261
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.279
it did. All right, SELECTI voice says, Damn, I'm late.
262
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:13.839
Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. What's up,
263
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:19.960
Devil's folks, But I hope this podcast will give you
264
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.000
some relief from all the crazy things that are going
265
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.480
in this world. Sometimes you just need to talk Devil's
266
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.519
Hockey to make sense of it all. Anyway, all right,
267
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:38.880
hitting the music right now. The ceremonial sit we talked
268
00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:45.559
about the defense. We talked about guys stepping up could
269
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.599
be a possibility, and.
270
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:51.559
Maybe adding to that defense as Brett Peschi is down,
271
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.599
which has exposed the possible truth how good the Devils
272
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.559
are and their depth, but also what we learned.
273
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.519
We love our Rutgers alum as well. I want to
274
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.319
make that point. So I'm making a toast to all
275
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:10.839
of you, to the defense, to Rutgers alum, and to
276
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.160
all Devils fans out there for the ceremonial sip of
277
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:29.559
this highly caffeinated beverage to that I drink. All right,
278
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.119
getting out of here. This is the morning. Woo. Until
279
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:38.680
next time, let's go devils will.
280
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:49.119
I love you and I need you money. I love you,
