5-2 tonight. Lots to go over, Scotty, on this one.
11
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.340
Yeah, tough game over here for the Devils, who are,
12
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.920
you know, won four in a row. We're going for
13
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.170
the fifth. Going for the fistful of wins, but come
14
00:01:15.189 --> 00:01:16.750
up a little short tonight in the second half of
15
00:01:16.769 --> 00:01:20.209
a back-to-back. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Devils After Dark.
16
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.810
I'm Scotty with Sam Wu. See a lot of people
17
00:01:22.909 --> 00:01:27.780
chirping in already on YouTube. Dubs and Serve and Wimpy
18
00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:35.409
and Robert Isaacson, Lynn Mars, Keenan. going on. Meadowlander, Roman. Yeah,
19
00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:39.510
I mean, this is a tough game, but I wouldn't put,
20
00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:45.150
you know, too much stock in this one. Second half
21
00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:50.439
of a back-to-back on the road, flying, traveling. Oh, by
22
00:01:50.469 --> 00:01:52.799
the way, you're playing two of the best teams in
23
00:01:52.829 --> 00:01:59.200
the league back-to-back. One is looking to enact revenge from
24
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.329
a game the previous week. So, Tough one to roll
25
00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:05.329
around for the Devils. They definitely looked like they were
26
00:02:05.390 --> 00:02:10.069
gassed by the third period. But ironically, they were just like,
27
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.159
you know, a Jesper Brat goal away from getting back
28
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.800
into this thing. Two golden opportunities missed. But let's talk
29
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.219
about it real quick here. Like we said, yeah, the
30
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.849
Avs looking for revenge. Kovacevic out, Chisholm in, and Brendan
31
00:02:25.889 --> 00:02:28.590
Dillon back in again. The Devils were looking for five
32
00:02:28.610 --> 00:02:30.830
in a row. And we say hello to our old friend,
33
00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:34.849
Mackenzie Blackwood. One more time, and it started out pretty
34
00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:40.219
good because downtown Connor Brown came through at 12-21 of
35
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.060
the first period to give the Devils yet again the
36
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.879
first goal of the game and put them on top.
37
00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:53.259
1-0 with a short-handed goal, a shorty for CB. What
38
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.819
can Brown do for you? Well, he can put the
39
00:02:55.870 --> 00:03:01.479
puck back into the net tonight. meant to say there.
40
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.530
Maybe I'm having an off night myself. A little sleepy time.
41
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.129
It's a little later start time over here. Nah, just kidding.
42
00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:12.889
But shorthanded break going on there. It was Connor Brown
43
00:03:13.069 --> 00:03:15.669
and I, was it Cody Glass that he was with?
44
00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:17.509
I can't remember off the top of my head, but
45
00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:21.530
Connor Brown elects to shoot as opposed to passing across.
46
00:03:21.849 --> 00:03:24.419
He kind of delays. He hesitates for just a second
47
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.280
and then he's able to rip it. And it goes
48
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.539
through the 5-hole. Kind of ping-pongs a little bit there,
49
00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:32.849
but through the 5-hole of Blackwood into the back of
50
00:03:32.889 --> 00:03:35.949
the net for his first of the year. Unassisted!
51
00:03:35.969 --> 00:03:36.020
1-0.
52
00:03:37.689 --> 00:03:43.250
Devils with the shorty at 12-21 of the first period.
53
00:03:44.069 --> 00:03:46.310
And then moving into the second, I mean, the Avs
54
00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:49.939
really kicked it into gear. I got to scroll down here.
55
00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:55.300
What was that shot total? 21-6 in the second period, which...
56
00:03:55.969 --> 00:03:59.849
We're used to now in this season the Devils being
57
00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:04.830
the team that dominates the second period. But for everything
58
00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:07.710
that the Avs were doing, the Devils were still playing
59
00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:13.069
defense and Jake the Snake, maybe a little rebound control
60
00:04:13.789 --> 00:04:16.170
issues here and there. But still, I thought Jake the
61
00:04:16.189 --> 00:04:19.970
Snake actually played a good game. It was just Colorado
62
00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:22.800
just overwhelmed at one point. But yeah, I mean, they
63
00:04:22.829 --> 00:04:25.579
were all over the place. But the Devils were still
64
00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:29.199
trying to keep their defense structured and together. They weren't
65
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.579
allowing the Avs yet, in the second period, yet to
66
00:04:33.610 --> 00:04:39.449
just completely onslaught and swarm Jake the Snake Allen. And then,
67
00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:42.970
you know what, there's a couple bounces. Not only the
68
00:04:43.009 --> 00:04:45.930
two Jesper Brad opportunities we'll talk about, but also on
69
00:04:45.970 --> 00:04:49.750
a delayed penalty, the avalanche almost.
70
00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:54.079
Maybe about eight inches to the right, But it was
71
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.189
very close to an own goal on a clearing attempt
72
00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:00.730
on a delayed penalty for the Colorado Avs, which would have,
73
00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:03.050
I mean, that would have been a doozy right there.
74
00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:08.269
And Cody Glass on the penalty, making another big call,
75
00:05:08.769 --> 00:05:13.879
another big block. And I don't think we mentioned last game,
76
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.680
he blocked a shot with a skate. Skate blade went
77
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.339
flying out. He's on one foot. All right, he's able
78
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.300
to block another shot and then throw a check alongside
79
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.949
of the board. So Cody Glass is just playing really,
80
00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:34.889
really well recently. And then eventually at 10.58 of the
81
00:05:34.930 --> 00:05:38.709
second period on the power play with four seconds left,
82
00:05:40.069 --> 00:05:45.160
Gabriel Landeskog gets the Colorado Avs on the board. Power
83
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.600
play goal, pass coming right across the crease there. Landeskog
84
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.959
at the side of the net. Tough one for old
85
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.519
Jake the Snake. But even with Colorado doing all that,
86
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.899
it was still 1-1.
87
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.339
It's only 1-1. 1-1.
88
00:06:00.490 --> 00:06:01.670
And the Devils, at the end of the period, they
89
00:06:01.689 --> 00:06:04.290
get a power play. And then they get a 5-on-3
90
00:06:04.350 --> 00:06:08.970
for about 30 seconds. And they definitely got some opportunities.
91
00:06:09.149 --> 00:06:13.350
But the power play has really been struggling lately. So
92
00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:15.860
it's funny. We were talking about how this team can't
93
00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:19.870
rely on their power play. And, you know, when the
94
00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:22.129
power play goes cold, the team goes cold. Now, all
95
00:06:22.149 --> 00:06:24.810
of a sudden, you know, they're scoring five on five
96
00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:29.680
a lot, but not on the power play. So Devils
97
00:06:29.709 --> 00:06:33.480
go over tonight. And yeah, that five on three for
98
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.579
about 30 seconds. They did get some good looks. Even
99
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.259
Jack Hughes right at the end of the second period,
100
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.860
just kind of throwing one towards the net. It popped
101
00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:45.259
up and almost went in. So there was there were
102
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:50.009
a number of bounces there. that could have gone the
103
00:06:50.050 --> 00:06:52.860
other way. And I believe on that power play, too,
104
00:06:52.889 --> 00:06:54.829
at the end of the period, I mean, the Devils
105
00:06:54.870 --> 00:06:59.519
were boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, precision passing around the zone.
106
00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:02.699
And they set up Jesper Bratt, who seemed to be
107
00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:06.399
on just too much of a sharp angle there, down
108
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.860
near the goal line. And he put one off the post.
109
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.430
So even though the Devils got outshot, what did we say,
110
00:07:15.449 --> 00:07:19.680
21-6 in the second period? They were a post away
111
00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:23.920
and an own goal away from being up 3-1 in
112
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.279
this game against the Colorado Avalanche. So we move into
113
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:33.639
the third. Still tied up 1-1. Another break. 2-on-1. Jack
114
00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:36.189
Hughes and Jesper Bratt. And Jack Hughes puts a perfect
115
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.610
pass right on the stick of Jesper Bratt. And he
116
00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:42.850
shoots it wide. Now looking at the replay, it does
117
00:07:42.870 --> 00:07:46.470
look like Mackenzie Blackwood got across pretty well.
118
00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:47.009
But still.
119
00:07:47.889 --> 00:07:50.939
Two golden opportunities there for Browder, which I am sure
120
00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:53.420
if he can go back in time, he would love
121
00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.540
to put those in the back of the net. It
122
00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:58.500
was just one of those nights by the time the
123
00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:02.819
third period hit. And yes, the Avs open it up
124
00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:07.800
at 245, 347, 12 minutes, and then 12 minutes and
125
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.730
30 seconds. Kadri, Kelly, Nathan McKinnon going coast to coast,
126
00:08:13.790 --> 00:08:17.990
just blowing through everybody. And put one in the back
127
00:08:18.009 --> 00:08:20.189
of that. You see it's like, all right, I'm going
128
00:08:20.209 --> 00:08:24.180
to put on the afterburners here. Peace. See you later, everybody.
129
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.360
I mean, blown right by Luke Hughes through Brett Pesci. Man,
130
00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:31.220
Nathan McKinnon, that was a hell of a goal. And
131
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.759
Schwartz gets the last one there to put the Avs
132
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.200
up 5-1. Four goals in the third period. And, yeah,
133
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.240
the boys looked like they were gassed. I don't think,
134
00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:44.259
you know, I don't think everyone out there should get
135
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.779
too worked up about this game. Um, they're, they can't
136
00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:49.919
win them all. You know, there are going to be
137
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.740
games like this throughout the season. It's just, Hey, when
138
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.470
we play Vegas on Friday, let's see the team that
139
00:08:55.490 --> 00:08:59.629
we saw, you know, uh, play Dallas on Tuesday. That's what,
140
00:08:59.649 --> 00:09:04.029
that's what we're hoping for here. So, um, five, one, um,
141
00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:07.440
Colorado avalanche. And yeah, like we said, it was just
142
00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:09.600
apparent that the devils had run out of some steam,
143
00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:12.639
although they were still making good efforts and they got
144
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.909
some good opportunities there as well. And, yeah, a couple bounces.
145
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.799
And even with the 5-1 score, it could have been
146
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.779
a little bit of a different game. Connor Brown gets
147
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.899
his second of the game. Very late, 15.35 into the
148
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.779
third period to make it 5-2. Coming from Lombardi and
149
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:36.299
Cody Glass. Lombardi there gets the shot. He's still looking
150
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.620
for his first goal of the year. But Lombardi gets
151
00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:43.919
the shot. And then Connor Brown puts in the backhand rebound.
152
00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:44.330
Sorry, mate.
153
00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:46.519
Dog just, I don't know what the hell she did
154
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.779
over there. Lucy, all right? All right, yeah. English Bulldogs.
155
00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:54.769
Sometimes those are the sounds that they make. But either way,
156
00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:57.809
good for Connor Brown. He gets on the board, gets
157
00:09:57.809 --> 00:09:59.690
the shorty, gets to win at the end of the game.
158
00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:04.330
But the Devils overall, you know, just a tough one back-to-back. Oh,
159
00:10:04.370 --> 00:10:09.080
and by the way, you're playing the frigging Colorado Avalanche. So,
160
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.799
like I said, don't get too worked up over this one.
161
00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:15.179
Shots on goal for the Avs.
162
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:15.250
10-21.
163
00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:21.659
14 for a total of 45 shots. Yeah, Jake the
164
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.019
Snake was working. Devils 6-6, 10 for a total of 22.
165
00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:29.960
Devils again lose the face-off battle. 36 face-off wins for
166
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.559
the Avs to the Devils, 31. Avs won for two
167
00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:35.929
in the power play. Devils, that jersey, everything. Bagel with
168
00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:40.830
cream cheese, 0 for three. Devils out hit a team. Oh,
169
00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:45.009
17 to 11. 14 block shots, only 15 giveaways. Like
170
00:10:45.049 --> 00:10:47.500
seeing that. That's kind of lowering down a little bit.
171
00:10:48.470 --> 00:10:53.990
But either way, the Devils lose here. And again, can't
172
00:10:54.049 --> 00:10:56.610
win them all. And looking at the standings right now,
173
00:10:56.690 --> 00:11:00.830
still in second place with one game in hand on
174
00:11:00.889 --> 00:11:07.149
the Canes and the Rags. 16 points, 8-5-0 on the season,
175
00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:12.769
and they will be back at it. Friday, weird, whatever,
176
00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.460
it's Nevada Day or whatever Max was telling us the
177
00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:19.809
other last night, a 3 p.m. Pacific start time on
178
00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:23.610
a Friday for the game against the Golden Knights. So
179
00:11:23.990 --> 00:11:30.389
let's hear your reactions to this on YouTube. Chirp away,
180
00:11:30.429 --> 00:11:39.159
chirp away. There's old Frank. There's Nick. Keenan, Lynn, Selecta.
181
00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:43.820
What's going on, dude? Nice to see you there. Dubs. Yeah,
182
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.029
and we'll bring in Scheduled loss. Yeah, on to the next. Yeah,
183
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:52.070
I mean, it's a tough one, a back-to-back. Jesper, Eric Gobb, Jesper,
184
00:11:52.110 --> 00:11:54.960
a post and a miss tonight. Could have been two. Yeah,
185
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.279
I mean, like we said, a couple bounces, and this
186
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.039
game could have been a completely different contest in the end.
187
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.409
So let's bring in the man of the hour, the
188
00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:11.169
tower of power, too. Sweet to be sour. Sam, by God, woo.
189
00:12:11.210 --> 00:12:11.279
Woo.
190
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:14.690
And see what you have to see. I mean, I
191
00:12:14.730 --> 00:12:21.509
think everyone is kind of on the same page here. But, yeah,
192
00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:22.230
what do you think, Sam?
193
00:12:23.750 --> 00:12:26.470
Before we begin, I just want to say happy anniversary
194
00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:30.500
to Mrs. Wu. It struck midnight here on the East Coast.
195
00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:33.960
Happy 10-year anniversary, Mrs. Wu.
196
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.500
The luckiest lady in all of New Jersey right there, Mrs.
197
00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:39.919
Wu.
198
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.279
Yeah, she gave me an extra pillow for the couch.
199
00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:44.200
Oh, nice.
200
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:44.940
Nice.
201
00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:47.200
Yeah. Very good, Sam Wu.
202
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.539
Just working my way up back to, you know, back
203
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:51.769
to the bed.
204
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.580
You're working your way back to you, babe. With one
205
00:12:56.620 --> 00:13:06.620
more pillow on the couch. Anyway. Who's on the couch?
206
00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:13.509
I don't think the devil's played that poorly today. No,
207
00:13:13.529 --> 00:13:17.720
they didn't. They didn't. And, you know, of course all
208
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.000
the trolls are out. You know, where were these Minnesota
209
00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:23.440
Wild fans and these trolls yesterday when they were all
210
00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:27.399
quiet when the Devils beat the Dallas Stars? But if
211
00:13:27.450 --> 00:13:31.210
you watch this game, it could have easily been the
212
00:13:31.250 --> 00:13:34.750
other way around because Jesper Bratwood had two posts.
213
00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:40.720
One post, one missed, yeah, to the side, to the
214
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.279
far side. Or the near side, I'm sorry.
215
00:13:42.809 --> 00:13:45.919
So, you know, in a lot of respect, I thought
216
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:50.779
McKenzie Blackwood got lucky in this game. But you got
217
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.000
to credit the Colorado Avalanche. They just kept on pouring
218
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.620
it on. They obviously had the home ice advantage. The Devils,
219
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:03.240
you know, less than 24 hours are on the road
220
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:08.889
from Dallas to Colorado to play in high altitude. I
221
00:14:08.929 --> 00:14:11.169
think the real Devils we saw was that in that
222
00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:14.809
first period. Second period, they were just fighting to survive.
223
00:14:15.269 --> 00:14:18.570
But again, Scotty, you know, it's 1-1 starting in the
224
00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:20.769
second period, and then you give up two quick ones.
225
00:14:22.590 --> 00:14:25.350
You know, that hurts. And now you've got to play
226
00:14:25.389 --> 00:14:29.190
from behind. Why two quick ones when you're coming out
227
00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:32.070
of the second period? You should be rested. You should be,
228
00:14:32.929 --> 00:14:35.460
you know, and plus you started off on the power play.
229
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.950
So that's a momentum problem. some of these power plays.
230
00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:42.879
You got a five on three. I know it was
231
00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:46.000
for 30 seconds, but you weren't able to finish. And
232
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.019
if you don't finish, you allow the other team to
233
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:57.070
have the opportunity to counterattack. And the Colorado Avalanche, what
234
00:14:57.090 --> 00:15:00.690
did they do? They put up some goals against Jake
235
00:15:00.730 --> 00:15:03.350
the Snake Allen. And I'm not going to fault Allen
236
00:15:03.590 --> 00:15:05.799
on that. I think Connor Hellebuck would have lost the
237
00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:10.600
game too. unless he was standing on his head. But
238
00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:13.779
I'm not going to dwell on this loss. It was
239
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.940
kind of expected.
240
00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:18.200
Yeah, I don't think it's one to dwell on. I
241
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.529
think this is a team needs some rest, tough scheduling
242
00:15:22.610 --> 00:15:24.750
type of one. But like we said, we want to
243
00:15:24.789 --> 00:15:27.909
see them bounce back on Friday in Vegas. That'll be
244
00:15:27.929 --> 00:15:30.570
the real thing here now. How do they play on
245
00:15:30.669 --> 00:15:34.409
Friday in Vegas? They hung around for two periods. You know,
246
00:15:34.429 --> 00:15:37.090
it was obvious that they didn't have the right stuff tonight.
247
00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:42.639
And totally get it. They were gassed. Road trip, back-to-back, understandable.
248
00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:46.620
But how do they play in Vegas? Do they hang
249
00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:49.340
their heads and go back to how they were in
250
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.580
the beginning of the season? Or do they just say,
251
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.879
you know what, let's put this one behind us. Let's
252
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.129
move forward. And let's have another replay of how we've
253
00:15:57.149 --> 00:16:01.070
been playing, you know, at home at the Rock. And
254
00:16:01.169 --> 00:16:03.990
how we did in Dallas on Tuesday night.
255
00:16:05.149 --> 00:16:11.129
Yeah. Again, and going back to Jesper Brat, it seems
256
00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:15.340
like just all season he's been hitting the post. Every game,
257
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.659
it's like he averages one post a game. Yeah. Eventually
258
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.000
they're going to go in. Yeah.
259
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.399
And Lin Marr's got it too here. Post-Hellie excitement hangover
260
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.590
a little bit maybe. That could be part of it too.
261
00:16:30.230 --> 00:16:33.370
You know, but I really think it's just a travel
262
00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:37.950
going from Dallas to Colorado on a back to back
263
00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:40.889
like that. It's it's not easy. It's really not. And
264
00:16:41.370 --> 00:16:44.610
it's also, you know, wacky time zone as well. You know,
265
00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:46.990
Devils are starting at nine o'clock at night instead of,
266
00:16:47.409 --> 00:16:50.500
you know, what is a six o'clock start time? It's
267
00:16:50.509 --> 00:16:53.340
a little funky for them. So or wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
268
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:54.539
Sorry. Eight.
269
00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:57.929
Would it be eight o'clock? Wait, it was 6 for me,
270
00:16:58.029 --> 00:16:59.389
so 7 Colorado.
271
00:16:59.429 --> 00:17:00.490
It was 9.
272
00:17:00.490 --> 00:17:01.649
So it was 9, right?
273
00:17:01.669 --> 00:17:02.029
Yeah, yeah.
274
00:17:02.049 --> 00:17:02.750
So it was a 9.
275
00:17:02.750 --> 00:17:03.490
Okay, yeah, yeah.
276
00:17:03.509 --> 00:17:06.710
So it was a 9 o'clock start for the team. So,
277
00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:12.049
you know, I'm not going to get all, you know,
278
00:17:12.430 --> 00:17:17.250
kerfluffled over this one. I think every team is going
279
00:17:17.269 --> 00:17:19.910
to have some stinkers like this throughout the season. It's
280
00:17:19.950 --> 00:17:23.779
just minimizing them to, you know, a game and then
281
00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:26.119
coming back strong in the next one. Get some rest.
282
00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:31.440
Go over to Vegas. Don't hit the slots. Don't hit
283
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.559
the free buffet.
284
00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.720
Okay?
285
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.779
Actually, there is no free buffet anymore. Don't hit the
286
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:46.450
overly priced buffet. You know, get your wheels going. And
287
00:17:46.490 --> 00:17:50.109
then you can go play some blackjack after you get
288
00:17:50.150 --> 00:17:52.829
a W in Vegas. Because we all know the most
289
00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:57.200
important thing is making the Las Vegas brownies. as upset
290
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.980
as they possibly can for their vile and just atrocious
291
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.019
attitude and demeanor towards one Sam.
292
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:15.569
Whoa. Yeah. Let's not relive those memories. You know, I'm
293
00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:18.329
sure these young ladies are now like in their teenage
294
00:18:18.569 --> 00:18:21.670
years and they're probably, yeah. Remember that one devil's fan
295
00:18:21.730 --> 00:18:26.079
that was sitting behind us and wouldn't shut up. Um,
296
00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:29.420
Thank you for the super chat, Keenan, saying, guys, I
297
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:30.000
was there.
298
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.440
Hey, Keenan.
299
00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:35.920
This was not close after period one. These back-to-backs make
300
00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:41.230
for bad hockey, very expensive waste. Agreed.
301
00:18:41.369 --> 00:18:45.410
I mean, the back-to-backs are tough. And we know our
302
00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:50.200
team has had some terrible scheduling the last few years.
303
00:18:51.569 --> 00:18:55.210
with these back-to-backs and yeah, going from Dallas to Colorado
304
00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:59.779
on a back-to-back road trip. Like that's, that's tough. I mean,
305
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:01.619
that would be tough if the devils were at home,
306
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.900
those two teams going back to back, but you throw
307
00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:08.319
in flying as well and changing multiple time zones. It's just,
308
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.359
it's a tricky one. So just want to see him
309
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.670
get their legs back. be ready to rock and roll
310
00:19:15.730 --> 00:19:19.220
on Friday, and have a better outing against the Knights.
311
00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:22.460
Even if they lose, but they play a damn good game,
312
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.779
I'll be fine with that. You know, it's just tonight,
313
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.539
it just looked like they ran out of gas once
314
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:31.130
the third period hit. But they were hanging around. You know,
315
00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:33.470
even when the As were throwing the kitchen sink at
316
00:19:33.490 --> 00:19:35.710
them in the second period, they were able to hang around,
317
00:19:36.109 --> 00:19:38.210
and they got out of that period tied 1-1.
318
00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:45.250
Yeah. And again, it could have been a total... The Avalanche,
319
00:19:46.029 --> 00:19:48.460
they had a lot of luck on their side. I mean,
320
00:19:48.509 --> 00:19:51.700
that one where they almost scored. on themselves. You know,
321
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.450
I mean, that could have been the momentum changer right there, Scotty.
322
00:19:56.470 --> 00:20:00.950
You just don't know. But, you know, again, in the past,
323
00:20:01.049 --> 00:20:04.009
when the Delos used to get their butts kicked in with,
324
00:20:04.990 --> 00:20:10.230
you know, Mackenzie Blackwood in that... We would see really
325
00:20:10.630 --> 00:20:14.650
bad fundamental breakdowns. We didn't see them cough up the
326
00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:19.539
puck in the neutral zone or stupid things like that
327
00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:24.339
or take a dumb penalty at the worst time, any
328
00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:27.440
of that stuff. They were clearly beaten by a team
329
00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:33.289
that won the President's Trophy last season. And they were
330
00:20:33.470 --> 00:20:33.869
at home.
331
00:20:33.910 --> 00:20:37.950
And well-rested and ready to avenge the game they lost
332
00:20:38.029 --> 00:20:40.109
last week. You knew they were going to come out swinging.
333
00:20:40.369 --> 00:20:45.500
So it's all good. It's all good. The important thing
334
00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:48.380
now is, like we were saying, put this one in
335
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.119
the past, move forward, get yourself rested so you have
336
00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:56.039
your wheels for Vegas, who is another tough competitor and
337
00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:57.680
has been one of the top teams in the West
338
00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:01.380
for the– essentially since they came into the league, you
339
00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:03.670
can say. The Vegas Golden Knights have been one of
340
00:21:03.710 --> 00:21:08.309
the top teams in the Western Conference. So let's just
341
00:21:08.329 --> 00:21:12.470
see how they do that. And, yeah, they just ran
342
00:21:12.490 --> 00:21:14.200
out of gas in the third period, and I get it.
343
00:21:14.730 --> 00:21:18.230
I'm not going to harp on this one or start
344
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.299
to point out like this, that, or the other. I
345
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.099
don't think the team played horribly. I just think it's
346
00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:27.680
a tough schedule point in the season here with this
347
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.680
back-to-back road trip.
348
00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:34.900
That's all. Yep. Yeah. Look, if you can go, you know,
349
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:39.339
if you can go, let's just say, if you go.
350
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.160
That's right, Frank. We go home to Edmonton as well.
351
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.109
So it's not going to get any easier, by the way.
352
00:21:45.329 --> 00:21:46.670
This is a tough stretch.
353
00:21:46.849 --> 00:21:49.549
If you go three and one, I'm sorry, two and one.
354
00:21:49.569 --> 00:21:51.450
What's McDade got, like 50 points already?
355
00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:57.529
I don't care about him. But, yeah, he's got something
356
00:21:57.609 --> 00:22:01.289
like that, you know. But. Again, if you go 2-1
357
00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:05.589
on this road trip, I'll take it. But overall, overall,
358
00:22:05.609 --> 00:22:08.380
it's just one loss. I mean, it's a stretch of
359
00:22:08.950 --> 00:22:14.319
seven games against Western Conference teams. So this loss is probably,
360
00:22:14.339 --> 00:22:18.680
this one was kind of expected. The Dallas one, the
361
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:26.240
Dallas game was the one really, I mean, Hellebuck coming
362
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.579
out of nowhere, gets traded to Devils, and then he's
363
00:22:29.950 --> 00:22:32.569
thrown to the fire and was able to get a victory.
364
00:22:32.630 --> 00:22:37.250
That that's huge. That's absolutely huge. So, but anyway, yep.
365
00:22:37.730 --> 00:22:39.769
But Vegas is not going to be easy on Friday.
366
00:22:40.329 --> 00:22:40.670
They're not.
367
00:22:40.730 --> 00:22:42.569
Vegas will not be easy. Don't think it's going to
368
00:22:42.609 --> 00:22:44.569
be just a cakewalk. No, they're going to have to
369
00:22:44.609 --> 00:22:45.710
come out there and they're going to have to play
370
00:22:45.730 --> 00:22:49.700
like they, like they have been playing a smart, good
371
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:54.099
structured defense. Get some solid goal setting there from Connor
372
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.630
Hellebuck and well-rounded scoring. being able to roll the four
373
00:22:58.690 --> 00:23:02.329
lines like they have been. And, you know, that buzzword
374
00:23:02.369 --> 00:23:05.089
that they love in the hockey world these days, playing connected.
375
00:23:05.750 --> 00:23:09.390
So that's what we're looking for Friday night. And you know,
376
00:23:09.670 --> 00:23:13.089
you know, we're going to be talking about it right
377
00:23:13.109 --> 00:23:15.279
here on the Let's Go Devils podcast network with some
378
00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:20.180
game day live starring the man, the myth, the legend, Vinny,
379
00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:24.420
don't call me Zach Parisi, along with Sam by God wound.
380
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.440
Of course, yours truly, Scotty, you'll be along. for Devils
381
00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:34.460
After Dark, immediately following the final horn for that game,
382
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.690
or the final slot machine poll or whatever.
383
00:23:38.710 --> 00:23:39.990
I don't know.
384
00:23:40.730 --> 00:23:43.210
Medieval times, the night beforehand. They do put on a
385
00:23:43.230 --> 00:23:45.950
good show, I will say that, in Vegas. If you've
386
00:23:45.990 --> 00:23:48.089
never been to a game for the Golden Knights, they
387
00:23:48.109 --> 00:23:51.349
really do put on a fun atmosphere there. But we
388
00:23:51.390 --> 00:23:55.079
are hoping that we're talking about another Devils victory. on
389
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.509
Friday night right here. So be prepared to come on by,
390
00:24:00.609 --> 00:24:03.630
chirp away in the YouTube chat. Thank you, thank you, everyone.
391
00:24:04.349 --> 00:24:08.329
And yeah, don't forget that wacky start time, 3 p.m.
392
00:24:09.150 --> 00:24:13.170
local time on a Friday. So I guess it's almost
393
00:24:13.250 --> 00:24:15.349
normal time over there in New Jersey. That'd be a
394
00:24:15.349 --> 00:24:17.529
6 p.m. start time?
395
00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:18.369
That's correct.
396
00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:24.380
I've never heard of Nevada Day before and that sort
397
00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:26.849
of stuff going on. Thank you, Max, for informing us.
398
00:24:27.009 --> 00:24:29.789
Yeah, I always found that the NHL always screws us
399
00:24:29.829 --> 00:24:34.650
with scheduling. They always screw us with scheduling. Like, you know,
400
00:24:34.670 --> 00:24:39.930
with these odd times. You know, 3.30 game at the Rock. Like,
401
00:24:41.289 --> 00:24:44.380
you know, I don't get it. I don't get it.
402
00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:49.099
But anyway. Also, Joey B. I'm seeing a lot of
403
00:24:49.170 --> 00:24:56.019
empty seats at Ball Arena tonight, too. All righty. Yeah.
404
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.039
Well, we'll see how it goes in Vegas Friday night.
405
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.599
Like we said, come on back. Come on back. Game
406
00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:05.150
Day Live and Devils After Dark pre- and post-game right
407

here on the Let's Go Devils Network.
408
00:25:07.910 --> 00:25:11.410
Yeah. I'm trying to find the button, Scotty. Here it is.
409
00:25:12.569 --> 00:25:16.660
There we go. Well, I want to thank all those
410
00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:22.319
tuning in. Wish we had a victory on this triple
411
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:29.029
header Wednesday, or now Thursday. We'll be back Saturday for
412
00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:33.430
Game Day Live and Devils After Dark. Saturday, sorry, Friday.
413
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.539
It's getting too late, Scotty. I need some sleep. Getting
414
00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:40.059
out of here. Until next time, let's go Devils.

5-2 tonight. Lots to go over, Scotty, on this one.
11
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.340
Yeah, tough game over here for the Devils, who are,
12
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.920
you know, won four in a row. We're going for
13
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.170
the fifth. Going for the fistful of wins, but come
14
00:01:15.189 --> 00:01:16.750
up a little short tonight in the second half of
15
00:01:16.769 --> 00:01:20.209
a back-to-back. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Devils After Dark.
16
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.810
I'm Scotty with Sam Wu. See a lot of people
17
00:01:22.909 --> 00:01:27.780
chirping in already on YouTube. Dubs and Serve and Wimpy
18
00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:35.409
and Robert Isaacson, Lynn Mars, Keenan. going on. Meadowlander, Roman. Yeah,
19
00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:39.510
I mean, this is a tough game, but I wouldn't put,
20
00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:45.150
you know, too much stock in this one. Second half
21
00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:50.439
of a back-to-back on the road, flying, traveling. Oh, by
22
00:01:50.469 --> 00:01:52.799
the way, you're playing two of the best teams in
23
00:01:52.829 --> 00:01:59.200
the league back-to-back. One is looking to enact revenge from
24
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:03.329
a game the previous week. So, Tough one to roll
25
00:02:03.390 --> 00:02:05.329
around for the Devils. They definitely looked like they were
26
00:02:05.390 --> 00:02:10.069
gassed by the third period. But ironically, they were just like,
27
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.159
you know, a Jesper Brat goal away from getting back
28
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.800
into this thing. Two golden opportunities missed. But let's talk
29
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.219
about it real quick here. Like we said, yeah, the
30
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.849
Avs looking for revenge. Kovacevic out, Chisholm in, and Brendan
31
00:02:25.889 --> 00:02:28.590
Dillon back in again. The Devils were looking for five
32
00:02:28.610 --> 00:02:30.830
in a row. And we say hello to our old friend,
33
00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:34.849
Mackenzie Blackwood. One more time, and it started out pretty
34
00:02:34.889 --> 00:02:40.219
good because downtown Connor Brown came through at 12-21 of
35
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.060
the first period to give the Devils yet again the
36
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.879
first goal of the game and put them on top.
37
00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:53.259
1-0 with a short-handed goal, a shorty for CB. What
38
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.819
can Brown do for you? Well, he can put the
39
00:02:55.870 --> 00:03:01.479
puck back into the net tonight. meant to say there.
40
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.530
Maybe I'm having an off night myself. A little sleepy time.
41
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.129
It's a little later start time over here. Nah, just kidding.
42
00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:12.889
But shorthanded break going on there. It was Connor Brown
43
00:03:13.069 --> 00:03:15.669
and I, was it Cody Glass that he was with?
44
00:03:15.710 --> 00:03:17.509
I can't remember off the top of my head, but
45
00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:21.530
Connor Brown elects to shoot as opposed to passing across.
46
00:03:21.849 --> 00:03:24.419
He kind of delays. He hesitates for just a second
47
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.280
and then he's able to rip it. And it goes
48
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:29.539
through the 5-hole. Kind of ping-pongs a little bit there,
49
00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:32.849
but through the 5-hole of Blackwood into the back of
50
00:03:32.889 --> 00:03:35.949
the net for his first of the year. Unassisted!
51
00:03:35.969 --> 00:03:36.020
1-0.
52
00:03:37.689 --> 00:03:43.250
Devils with the shorty at 12-21 of the first period.
53
00:03:44.069 --> 00:03:46.310
And then moving into the second, I mean, the Avs
54
00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:49.939
really kicked it into gear. I got to scroll down here.
55
00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:55.300
What was that shot total? 21-6 in the second period, which...
56
00:03:55.969 --> 00:03:59.849
We're used to now in this season the Devils being
57
00:03:59.870 --> 00:04:04.830
the team that dominates the second period. But for everything
58
00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:07.710
that the Avs were doing, the Devils were still playing
59
00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:13.069
defense and Jake the Snake, maybe a little rebound control
60
00:04:13.789 --> 00:04:16.170
issues here and there. But still, I thought Jake the
61
00:04:16.189 --> 00:04:19.970
Snake actually played a good game. It was just Colorado
62
00:04:20.069 --> 00:04:22.800
just overwhelmed at one point. But yeah, I mean, they
63
00:04:22.829 --> 00:04:25.579
were all over the place. But the Devils were still
64
00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:29.199
trying to keep their defense structured and together. They weren't
65
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.579
allowing the Avs yet, in the second period, yet to
66
00:04:33.610 --> 00:04:39.449
just completely onslaught and swarm Jake the Snake Allen. And then,
67
00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:42.970
you know what, there's a couple bounces. Not only the
68
00:04:43.009 --> 00:04:45.930
two Jesper Brad opportunities we'll talk about, but also on
69
00:04:45.970 --> 00:04:49.750
a delayed penalty, the avalanche almost.
70
00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:54.079
Maybe about eight inches to the right, But it was
71
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.189
very close to an own goal on a clearing attempt
72
00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:00.730
on a delayed penalty for the Colorado Avs, which would have,
73
00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:03.050
I mean, that would have been a doozy right there.
74
00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:08.269
And Cody Glass on the penalty, making another big call,
75
00:05:08.769 --> 00:05:13.879
another big block. And I don't think we mentioned last game,
76
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.680
he blocked a shot with a skate. Skate blade went
77
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.339
flying out. He's on one foot. All right, he's able
78
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.300
to block another shot and then throw a check alongside
79
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.949
of the board. So Cody Glass is just playing really,
80
00:05:30.029 --> 00:05:34.889
really well recently. And then eventually at 10.58 of the
81
00:05:34.930 --> 00:05:38.709
second period on the power play with four seconds left,
82
00:05:40.069 --> 00:05:45.160
Gabriel Landeskog gets the Colorado Avs on the board. Power
83
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.600
play goal, pass coming right across the crease there. Landeskog
84
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.959
at the side of the net. Tough one for old
85
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.519
Jake the Snake. But even with Colorado doing all that,
86
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.899
it was still 1-1.
87
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.339
It's only 1-1. 1-1.
88
00:06:00.490 --> 00:06:01.670
And the Devils, at the end of the period, they
89
00:06:01.689 --> 00:06:04.290
get a power play. And then they get a 5-on-3
90
00:06:04.350 --> 00:06:08.970
for about 30 seconds. And they definitely got some opportunities.
91
00:06:09.149 --> 00:06:13.350
But the power play has really been struggling lately. So
92
00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:15.860
it's funny. We were talking about how this team can't
93
00:06:15.889 --> 00:06:19.870
rely on their power play. And, you know, when the
94
00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:22.129
power play goes cold, the team goes cold. Now, all
95
00:06:22.149 --> 00:06:24.810
of a sudden, you know, they're scoring five on five
96
00:06:24.829 --> 00:06:29.680
a lot, but not on the power play. So Devils
97
00:06:29.709 --> 00:06:33.480
go over tonight. And yeah, that five on three for
98
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.579
about 30 seconds. They did get some good looks. Even
99
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.259
Jack Hughes right at the end of the second period,
100
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.860
just kind of throwing one towards the net. It popped
101
00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:45.259
up and almost went in. So there was there were
102
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:50.009
a number of bounces there. that could have gone the
103
00:06:50.050 --> 00:06:52.860
other way. And I believe on that power play, too,
104
00:06:52.889 --> 00:06:54.829
at the end of the period, I mean, the Devils
105
00:06:54.870 --> 00:06:59.519
were boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, precision passing around the zone.
106
00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:02.699
And they set up Jesper Bratt, who seemed to be
107
00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:06.399
on just too much of a sharp angle there, down
108
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:10.860
near the goal line. And he put one off the post.
109
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.430
So even though the Devils got outshot, what did we say,
110
00:07:15.449 --> 00:07:19.680
21-6 in the second period? They were a post away
111
00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:23.920
and an own goal away from being up 3-1 in
112
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.279
this game against the Colorado Avalanche. So we move into
113
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:33.639
the third. Still tied up 1-1. Another break. 2-on-1. Jack
114
00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:36.189
Hughes and Jesper Bratt. And Jack Hughes puts a perfect
115
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.610
pass right on the stick of Jesper Bratt. And he
116
00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:42.850
shoots it wide. Now looking at the replay, it does
117
00:07:42.870 --> 00:07:46.470
look like Mackenzie Blackwood got across pretty well.
118
00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:47.009
But still.
119
00:07:47.889 --> 00:07:50.939
Two golden opportunities there for Browder, which I am sure
120
00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:53.420
if he can go back in time, he would love
121
00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.540
to put those in the back of the net. It
122
00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:58.500
was just one of those nights by the time the
123
00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:02.819
third period hit. And yes, the Avs open it up
124
00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:07.800
at 245, 347, 12 minutes, and then 12 minutes and
125
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.730
30 seconds. Kadri, Kelly, Nathan McKinnon going coast to coast,
126
00:08:13.790 --> 00:08:17.990
just blowing through everybody. And put one in the back
127
00:08:18.009 --> 00:08:20.189
of that. You see it's like, all right, I'm going
128
00:08:20.209 --> 00:08:24.180
to put on the afterburners here. Peace. See you later, everybody.
129
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.360
I mean, blown right by Luke Hughes through Brett Pesci. Man,
130
00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:31.220
Nathan McKinnon, that was a hell of a goal. And
131
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.759
Schwartz gets the last one there to put the Avs
132
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:38.200
up 5-1. Four goals in the third period. And, yeah,
133
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.240
the boys looked like they were gassed. I don't think,
134
00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:44.259
you know, I don't think everyone out there should get
135
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.779
too worked up about this game. Um, they're, they can't
136
00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:49.919
win them all. You know, there are going to be
137
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.740
games like this throughout the season. It's just, Hey, when
138
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.470
we play Vegas on Friday, let's see the team that
139
00:08:55.490 --> 00:08:59.629
we saw, you know, uh, play Dallas on Tuesday. That's what,
140
00:08:59.649 --> 00:09:04.029
that's what we're hoping for here. So, um, five, one, um,
141
00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:07.440
Colorado avalanche. And yeah, like we said, it was just
142
00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:09.600
apparent that the devils had run out of some steam,
143
00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:12.639
although they were still making good efforts and they got
144
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.909
some good opportunities there as well. And, yeah, a couple bounces.
145
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.799
And even with the 5-1 score, it could have been
146
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.779
a little bit of a different game. Connor Brown gets
147
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.899
his second of the game. Very late, 15.35 into the
148
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.779
third period to make it 5-2. Coming from Lombardi and
149
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:36.299
Cody Glass. Lombardi there gets the shot. He's still looking
150
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.620
for his first goal of the year. But Lombardi gets
151
00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:43.919
the shot. And then Connor Brown puts in the backhand rebound.
152
00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:44.330
Sorry, mate.
153
00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:46.519
Dog just, I don't know what the hell she did
154
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.779
over there. Lucy, all right? All right, yeah. English Bulldogs.
155
00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:54.769
Sometimes those are the sounds that they make. But either way,
156
00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:57.809
good for Connor Brown. He gets on the board, gets
157
00:09:57.809 --> 00:09:59.690
the shorty, gets to win at the end of the game.
158
00:09:59.710 --> 00:10:04.330
But the Devils overall, you know, just a tough one back-to-back. Oh,
159
00:10:04.370 --> 00:10:09.080
and by the way, you're playing the frigging Colorado Avalanche. So,
160
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.799
like I said, don't get too worked up over this one.
161
00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:15.179
Shots on goal for the Avs.
162
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:15.250
10-21.
163
00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:21.659
14 for a total of 45 shots. Yeah, Jake the
164
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.019
Snake was working. Devils 6-6, 10 for a total of 22.
165
00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:29.960
Devils again lose the face-off battle. 36 face-off wins for
166
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.559
the Avs to the Devils, 31. Avs won for two
167
00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:35.929
in the power play. Devils, that jersey, everything. Bagel with
168
00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:40.830
cream cheese, 0 for three. Devils out hit a team. Oh,
169
00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:45.009
17 to 11. 14 block shots, only 15 giveaways. Like
170
00:10:45.049 --> 00:10:47.500
seeing that. That's kind of lowering down a little bit.
171
00:10:48.470 --> 00:10:53.990
But either way, the Devils lose here. And again, can't
172
00:10:54.049 --> 00:10:56.610
win them all. And looking at the standings right now,
173
00:10:56.690 --> 00:11:00.830
still in second place with one game in hand on
174
00:11:00.889 --> 00:11:07.149
the Canes and the Rags. 16 points, 8-5-0 on the season,
175
00:11:07.210 --> 00:11:12.769
and they will be back at it. Friday, weird, whatever,
176
00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.460
it's Nevada Day or whatever Max was telling us the
177
00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:19.809
other last night, a 3 p.m. Pacific start time on
178
00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:23.610
a Friday for the game against the Golden Knights. So
179
00:11:23.990 --> 00:11:30.389
let's hear your reactions to this on YouTube. Chirp away,
180
00:11:30.429 --> 00:11:39.159
chirp away. There's old Frank. There's Nick. Keenan, Lynn, Selecta.
181
00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:43.820
What's going on, dude? Nice to see you there. Dubs. Yeah,
182
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.029
and we'll bring in Scheduled loss. Yeah, on to the next. Yeah,
183
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:52.070
I mean, it's a tough one, a back-to-back. Jesper, Eric Gobb, Jesper,
184
00:11:52.110 --> 00:11:54.960
a post and a miss tonight. Could have been two. Yeah,
185
00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:59.279
I mean, like we said, a couple bounces, and this
186
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.039
game could have been a completely different contest in the end.
187
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.409
So let's bring in the man of the hour, the
188
00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:11.169
tower of power, too. Sweet to be sour. Sam, by God, woo.
189
00:12:11.210 --> 00:12:11.279
Woo.
190
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:14.690
And see what you have to see. I mean, I
191
00:12:14.730 --> 00:12:21.509
think everyone is kind of on the same page here. But, yeah,
192
00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:22.230
what do you think, Sam?
193
00:12:23.750 --> 00:12:26.470
Before we begin, I just want to say happy anniversary
194
00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:30.500
to Mrs. Wu. It struck midnight here on the East Coast.
195
00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:33.960
Happy 10-year anniversary, Mrs. Wu.
196
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.500
The luckiest lady in all of New Jersey right there, Mrs.
197
00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:39.919
Wu.
198
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.279
Yeah, she gave me an extra pillow for the couch.
199
00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:44.200
Oh, nice.
200
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:44.940
Nice.
201
00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:47.200
Yeah. Very good, Sam Wu.
202
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:51.539
Just working my way up back to, you know, back
203
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:51.769
to the bed.
204
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.580
You're working your way back to you, babe. With one
205
00:12:56.620 --> 00:13:06.620
more pillow on the couch. Anyway. Who's on the couch?
206
00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:13.509
I don't think the devil's played that poorly today. No,
207
00:13:13.529 --> 00:13:17.720
they didn't. They didn't. And, you know, of course all
208
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.000
the trolls are out. You know, where were these Minnesota
209
00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:23.440
Wild fans and these trolls yesterday when they were all
210
00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:27.399
quiet when the Devils beat the Dallas Stars? But if
211
00:13:27.450 --> 00:13:31.210
you watch this game, it could have easily been the
212
00:13:31.250 --> 00:13:34.750
other way around because Jesper Bratwood had two posts.
213
00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:40.720
One post, one missed, yeah, to the side, to the
214
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.279
far side. Or the near side, I'm sorry.
215
00:13:42.809 --> 00:13:45.919
So, you know, in a lot of respect, I thought
216
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:50.779
McKenzie Blackwood got lucky in this game. But you got
217
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.000
to credit the Colorado Avalanche. They just kept on pouring
218
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.620
it on. They obviously had the home ice advantage. The Devils,
219
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:03.240
you know, less than 24 hours are on the road
220
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:08.889
from Dallas to Colorado to play in high altitude. I
221
00:14:08.929 --> 00:14:11.169
think the real Devils we saw was that in that
222
00:14:11.250 --> 00:14:14.809
first period. Second period, they were just fighting to survive.
223
00:14:15.269 --> 00:14:18.570
But again, Scotty, you know, it's 1-1 starting in the
224
00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:20.769
second period, and then you give up two quick ones.
225
00:14:22.590 --> 00:14:25.350
You know, that hurts. And now you've got to play
226
00:14:25.389 --> 00:14:29.190
from behind. Why two quick ones when you're coming out
227
00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:32.070
of the second period? You should be rested. You should be,
228
00:14:32.929 --> 00:14:35.460
you know, and plus you started off on the power play.
229
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.950
So that's a momentum problem. some of these power plays.
230
00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:42.879
You got a five on three. I know it was
231
00:14:42.980 --> 00:14:46.000
for 30 seconds, but you weren't able to finish. And
232
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.019
if you don't finish, you allow the other team to
233
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:57.070
have the opportunity to counterattack. And the Colorado Avalanche, what
234
00:14:57.090 --> 00:15:00.690
did they do? They put up some goals against Jake
235
00:15:00.730 --> 00:15:03.350
the Snake Allen. And I'm not going to fault Allen
236
00:15:03.590 --> 00:15:05.799
on that. I think Connor Hellebuck would have lost the
237
00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:10.600
game too. unless he was standing on his head. But
238
00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:13.779
I'm not going to dwell on this loss. It was
239
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.940
kind of expected.
240
00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:18.200
Yeah, I don't think it's one to dwell on. I
241
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.529
think this is a team needs some rest, tough scheduling
242
00:15:22.610 --> 00:15:24.750
type of one. But like we said, we want to
243
00:15:24.789 --> 00:15:27.909
see them bounce back on Friday in Vegas. That'll be
244
00:15:27.929 --> 00:15:30.570
the real thing here now. How do they play on
245
00:15:30.669 --> 00:15:34.409
Friday in Vegas? They hung around for two periods. You know,
246
00:15:34.429 --> 00:15:37.090
it was obvious that they didn't have the right stuff tonight.
247
00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:42.639
And totally get it. They were gassed. Road trip, back-to-back, understandable.
248
00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:46.620
But how do they play in Vegas? Do they hang
249
00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:49.340
their heads and go back to how they were in
250
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.580
the beginning of the season? Or do they just say,
251
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.879
you know what, let's put this one behind us. Let's
252
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.129
move forward. And let's have another replay of how we've
253
00:15:57.149 --> 00:16:01.070
been playing, you know, at home at the Rock. And
254
00:16:01.169 --> 00:16:03.990
how we did in Dallas on Tuesday night.
255
00:16:05.149 --> 00:16:11.129
Yeah. Again, and going back to Jesper Brat, it seems
256
00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:15.340
like just all season he's been hitting the post. Every game,
257
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:21.659
it's like he averages one post a game. Yeah. Eventually
258
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.000
they're going to go in. Yeah.
259
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.399
And Lin Marr's got it too here. Post-Hellie excitement hangover
260
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.590
a little bit maybe. That could be part of it too.
261
00:16:30.230 --> 00:16:33.370
You know, but I really think it's just a travel
262
00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:37.950
going from Dallas to Colorado on a back to back
263
00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:40.889
like that. It's it's not easy. It's really not. And
264
00:16:41.370 --> 00:16:44.610
it's also, you know, wacky time zone as well. You know,
265
00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:46.990
Devils are starting at nine o'clock at night instead of,
266
00:16:47.409 --> 00:16:50.500
you know, what is a six o'clock start time? It's
267
00:16:50.509 --> 00:16:53.340
a little funky for them. So or wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
268
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:54.539
Sorry. Eight.
269
00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:57.929
Would it be eight o'clock? Wait, it was 6 for me,
270
00:16:58.029 --> 00:16:59.389
so 7 Colorado.
271
00:16:59.429 --> 00:17:00.490
It was 9.
272
00:17:00.490 --> 00:17:01.649
So it was 9, right?
273
00:17:01.669 --> 00:17:02.029
Yeah, yeah.
274
00:17:02.049 --> 00:17:02.750
So it was a 9.
275
00:17:02.750 --> 00:17:03.490
Okay, yeah, yeah.
276
00:17:03.509 --> 00:17:06.710
So it was a 9 o'clock start for the team. So,
277
00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:12.049
you know, I'm not going to get all, you know,
278
00:17:12.430 --> 00:17:17.250
kerfluffled over this one. I think every team is going
279
00:17:17.269 --> 00:17:19.910
to have some stinkers like this throughout the season. It's
280
00:17:19.950 --> 00:17:23.779
just minimizing them to, you know, a game and then
281
00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:26.119
coming back strong in the next one. Get some rest.
282
00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:31.440
Go over to Vegas. Don't hit the slots. Don't hit
283
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.559
the free buffet.
284
00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.720
Okay?
285
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.779
Actually, there is no free buffet anymore. Don't hit the
286
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:46.450
overly priced buffet. You know, get your wheels going. And
287
00:17:46.490 --> 00:17:50.109
then you can go play some blackjack after you get
288
00:17:50.150 --> 00:17:52.829
a W in Vegas. Because we all know the most
289
00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:57.200
important thing is making the Las Vegas brownies. as upset
290
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.980
as they possibly can for their vile and just atrocious
291
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.019
attitude and demeanor towards one Sam.
292
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:15.569
Whoa. Yeah. Let's not relive those memories. You know, I'm
293
00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:18.329
sure these young ladies are now like in their teenage
294
00:18:18.569 --> 00:18:21.670
years and they're probably, yeah. Remember that one devil's fan
295
00:18:21.730 --> 00:18:26.079
that was sitting behind us and wouldn't shut up. Um,
296
00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:29.420
Thank you for the super chat, Keenan, saying, guys, I
297
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:30.000
was there.
298
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.440
Hey, Keenan.
299
00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:35.920
This was not close after period one. These back-to-backs make
300
00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:41.230
for bad hockey, very expensive waste. Agreed.
301
00:18:41.369 --> 00:18:45.410
I mean, the back-to-backs are tough. And we know our
302
00:18:45.450 --> 00:18:50.200
team has had some terrible scheduling the last few years.
303
00:18:51.569 --> 00:18:55.210
with these back-to-backs and yeah, going from Dallas to Colorado
304
00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:59.779
on a back-to-back road trip. Like that's, that's tough. I mean,
305
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:01.619
that would be tough if the devils were at home,
306
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.900
those two teams going back to back, but you throw
307
00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:08.319
in flying as well and changing multiple time zones. It's just,
308
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.359
it's a tricky one. So just want to see him
309
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:15.670
get their legs back. be ready to rock and roll
310
00:19:15.730 --> 00:19:19.220
on Friday, and have a better outing against the Knights.
311
00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:22.460
Even if they lose, but they play a damn good game,
312
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:25.779
I'll be fine with that. You know, it's just tonight,
313
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.539
it just looked like they ran out of gas once
314
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:31.130
the third period hit. But they were hanging around. You know,
315
00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:33.470
even when the As were throwing the kitchen sink at
316
00:19:33.490 --> 00:19:35.710
them in the second period, they were able to hang around,
317
00:19:36.109 --> 00:19:38.210
and they got out of that period tied 1-1.
318
00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:45.250
Yeah. And again, it could have been a total... The Avalanche,
319
00:19:46.029 --> 00:19:48.460
they had a lot of luck on their side. I mean,
320
00:19:48.509 --> 00:19:51.700
that one where they almost scored. on themselves. You know,
321
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.450
I mean, that could have been the momentum changer right there, Scotty.
322
00:19:56.470 --> 00:20:00.950
You just don't know. But, you know, again, in the past,
323
00:20:01.049 --> 00:20:04.009
when the Delos used to get their butts kicked in with,
324
00:20:04.990 --> 00:20:10.230
you know, Mackenzie Blackwood in that... We would see really
325
00:20:10.630 --> 00:20:14.650
bad fundamental breakdowns. We didn't see them cough up the
326
00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:19.539
puck in the neutral zone or stupid things like that
327
00:20:19.900 --> 00:20:24.339
or take a dumb penalty at the worst time, any
328
00:20:24.380 --> 00:20:27.440
of that stuff. They were clearly beaten by a team
329
00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:33.289
that won the President's Trophy last season. And they were
330
00:20:33.470 --> 00:20:33.869
at home.
331
00:20:33.910 --> 00:20:37.950
And well-rested and ready to avenge the game they lost
332
00:20:38.029 --> 00:20:40.109
last week. You knew they were going to come out swinging.
333
00:20:40.369 --> 00:20:45.500
So it's all good. It's all good. The important thing
334
00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:48.380
now is, like we were saying, put this one in
335
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.119
the past, move forward, get yourself rested so you have
336
00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:56.039
your wheels for Vegas, who is another tough competitor and
337
00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:57.680
has been one of the top teams in the West
338
00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:01.380
for the– essentially since they came into the league, you
339
00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:03.670
can say. The Vegas Golden Knights have been one of
340
00:21:03.710 --> 00:21:08.309
the top teams in the Western Conference. So let's just
341
00:21:08.329 --> 00:21:12.470
see how they do that. And, yeah, they just ran
342
00:21:12.490 --> 00:21:14.200
out of gas in the third period, and I get it.
343
00:21:14.730 --> 00:21:18.230
I'm not going to harp on this one or start
344
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.299
to point out like this, that, or the other. I
345
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.099
don't think the team played horribly. I just think it's
346
00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:27.680
a tough schedule point in the season here with this
347
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.680
back-to-back road trip.
348
00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:34.900
That's all. Yep. Yeah. Look, if you can go, you know,
349
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:39.339
if you can go, let's just say, if you go.
350
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.160
That's right, Frank. We go home to Edmonton as well.
351
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.109
So it's not going to get any easier, by the way.
352
00:21:45.329 --> 00:21:46.670
This is a tough stretch.
353
00:21:46.849 --> 00:21:49.549
If you go three and one, I'm sorry, two and one.
354
00:21:49.569 --> 00:21:51.450
What's McDade got, like 50 points already?
355
00:21:55.130 --> 00:21:57.529
I don't care about him. But, yeah, he's got something
356
00:21:57.609 --> 00:22:01.289
like that, you know. But. Again, if you go 2-1
357
00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:05.589
on this road trip, I'll take it. But overall, overall,
358
00:22:05.609 --> 00:22:08.380
it's just one loss. I mean, it's a stretch of
359
00:22:08.950 --> 00:22:14.319
seven games against Western Conference teams. So this loss is probably,
360
00:22:14.339 --> 00:22:18.680
this one was kind of expected. The Dallas one, the
361
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:26.240
Dallas game was the one really, I mean, Hellebuck coming
362
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:29.579
out of nowhere, gets traded to Devils, and then he's
363
00:22:29.950 --> 00:22:32.569
thrown to the fire and was able to get a victory.
364
00:22:32.630 --> 00:22:37.250
That that's huge. That's absolutely huge. So, but anyway, yep.
365
00:22:37.730 --> 00:22:39.769
But Vegas is not going to be easy on Friday.
366
00:22:40.329 --> 00:22:40.670
They're not.
367
00:22:40.730 --> 00:22:42.569
Vegas will not be easy. Don't think it's going to
368
00:22:42.609 --> 00:22:44.569
be just a cakewalk. No, they're going to have to
369
00:22:44.609 --> 00:22:45.710
come out there and they're going to have to play
370
00:22:45.730 --> 00:22:49.700
like they, like they have been playing a smart, good
371
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:54.099
structured defense. Get some solid goal setting there from Connor
372
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.630
Hellebuck and well-rounded scoring. being able to roll the four
373
00:22:58.690 --> 00:23:02.329
lines like they have been. And, you know, that buzzword
374
00:23:02.369 --> 00:23:05.089
that they love in the hockey world these days, playing connected.
375
00:23:05.750 --> 00:23:09.390
So that's what we're looking for Friday night. And you know,
376
00:23:09.670 --> 00:23:13.089
you know, we're going to be talking about it right
377
00:23:13.109 --> 00:23:15.279
here on the Let's Go Devils podcast network with some
378
00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:20.180
game day live starring the man, the myth, the legend, Vinny,
379
00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:24.420
don't call me Zach Parisi, along with Sam by God wound.
380
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:27.440
Of course, yours truly, Scotty, you'll be along. for Devils
381
00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:34.460
After Dark, immediately following the final horn for that game,
382
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.690
or the final slot machine poll or whatever.
383
00:23:38.710 --> 00:23:39.990
I don't know.
384
00:23:40.730 --> 00:23:43.210
Medieval times, the night beforehand. They do put on a
385
00:23:43.230 --> 00:23:45.950
good show, I will say that, in Vegas. If you've
386
00:23:45.990 --> 00:23:48.089
never been to a game for the Golden Knights, they
387
00:23:48.109 --> 00:23:51.349
really do put on a fun atmosphere there. But we
388
00:23:51.390 --> 00:23:55.079
are hoping that we're talking about another Devils victory. on
389
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.509
Friday night right here. So be prepared to come on by,
390
00:24:00.609 --> 00:24:03.630
chirp away in the YouTube chat. Thank you, thank you, everyone.
391
00:24:04.349 --> 00:24:08.329
And yeah, don't forget that wacky start time, 3 p.m.
392
00:24:09.150 --> 00:24:13.170
local time on a Friday. So I guess it's almost
393
00:24:13.250 --> 00:24:15.349
normal time over there in New Jersey. That'd be a
394
00:24:15.349 --> 00:24:17.529
6 p.m. start time?
395
00:24:17.809 --> 00:24:18.369
That's correct.
396
00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:24.380
I've never heard of Nevada Day before and that sort
397
00:24:24.420 --> 00:24:26.849
of stuff going on. Thank you, Max, for informing us.
398
00:24:27.009 --> 00:24:29.789
Yeah, I always found that the NHL always screws us
399
00:24:29.829 --> 00:24:34.650
with scheduling. They always screw us with scheduling. Like, you know,
400
00:24:34.670 --> 00:24:39.930
with these odd times. You know, 3.30 game at the Rock. Like,
401
00:24:41.289 --> 00:24:44.380
you know, I don't get it. I don't get it.
402
00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:49.099
But anyway. Also, Joey B. I'm seeing a lot of
403
00:24:49.170 --> 00:24:56.019
empty seats at Ball Arena tonight, too. All righty. Yeah.
404
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.039
Well, we'll see how it goes in Vegas Friday night.
405
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.599
Like we said, come on back. Come on back. Game
406
00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:05.150
Day Live and Devils After Dark pre- and post-game right
407

409
00:25:12.569 --> 00:25:16.660
There we go. Well, I want to thank all those
410
00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:22.319
tuning in. Wish we had a victory on this triple
411
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:29.029
header Wednesday, or now Thursday. We'll be back Saturday for
412
00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:33.430
Game Day Live and Devils After Dark. Saturday, sorry, Friday.
413
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.539

00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:40.059
out of here. Until next time, let's go Devils.
