devil's network as the devils beat the capitals with great
11
00:01:04.069 --> 00:01:09.790
probability five to two tonight. Wish I was at American
12
00:01:09.829 --> 00:01:13.170
whiskey right now. Yes. Yes.
13
00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:15.829
I'm sure the party is going on. Our man, Frank,
14
00:01:15.849 --> 00:01:18.069
the tank is holding it down at American whiskey and
15
00:01:18.810 --> 00:01:23.030
which is the place to be before and after every
16
00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:28.109
New Jersey Devils home game. Now, usually Sam Wu is there,
17
00:01:28.150 --> 00:01:32.280
but he's got some big-time work going on that he's
18
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:35.359
busy with. And we all have those late nights every
19
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.019
now and then. So we have to give Sam Wu.
20
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.840
You know, he's got a little scratch tonight. That's all.
21
00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:44.980
He got scratched. That's all right. It happens every now
22
00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:50.599
and then. You know what? real soon because that's what
23
00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:56.400
a true hockey podcast producer does over there. Yeah. Yeah.
24
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.260
I was, um, I was scratched when my, when I
25
00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:07.609
realized my name wasn't called, uh, you know, started to watch,
26
00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:09.870
watch the game from, from the couch.
27
00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:14.930
That's the definition of I got nothing. Right there, from
28
00:02:14.969 --> 00:02:19.729
Sam Wu. That was how you define the term, I
29
00:02:19.770 --> 00:02:22.889
got nothing. And we got to give a shout out already. Woo!
30
00:02:23.069 --> 00:02:27.669
To Joseph McCauley with the Super Chat. Thank you, thank you, sir.
31
00:02:27.729 --> 00:02:29.349
We beat the Caps. What a game.
32
00:02:29.389 --> 00:02:30.389
Yes, it was.
33
00:02:31.509 --> 00:02:35.699
Welcome to this rip-roaring edition of Devils After Dark. And
34
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.020
we got the New York Football Giants. We got the
35
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.819
New Jersey Hockey Devils and the New York Football Giants
36
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.449
playing at the same time. It had been great. If
37
00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:47.389
the Devils were in the remixed jerseys, because the Giants
38
00:02:47.449 --> 00:02:50.870
are in their remixed jerseys right now, these beautiful all-white.
39
00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:53.490
Playing the same city, too. Playing the same city.
40
00:02:53.629 --> 00:02:54.870
I know. Yeah.
41
00:02:55.229 --> 00:02:56.090
In the same state.
42
00:02:57.219 --> 00:02:58.659
In the same state. They used to play in the
43
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.580
same city, in the same venue. But I love the
44
00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:07.240
old Giants unis here, the 86 throwbacks there.
45
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:11.800
I was talking about Washington and Washington. Oh, I get you.
46
00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:13.849
I get you. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
47
00:03:13.969 --> 00:03:14.669
All right.
48
00:03:14.710 --> 00:03:17.430
I thought you meant Giants and Devils, which did used
49
00:03:17.449 --> 00:03:20.550
to play in the same city. Yeah. And in the
50
00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:23.310
same venue over there. But either way, we got a
51
00:03:23.349 --> 00:03:26.719
big Devils victory. Welcome into Devils After Dark. Let's talk
52
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.180
about this bad boy. And then we'll get to all
53
00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:36.810
of your reactions as well. Yaddy the baddie. What's going up?
54
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:43.930
The Utica hat trick. That's right. Suki. Suka. Suka, I
55
00:03:43.969 --> 00:03:46.580
can't remember. But the comments come through.
56
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:48.620
Seagat. Oh, my goodness. Eddie.
57
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.939
Dubs. John Heaton. Just Roadie. What's going on? Serve. Steven Tortoise. Tom.
58
00:03:55.659 --> 00:04:01.120
The Strike Eagle Trucker. How about them call-ups? That's done
59
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.319
in my bad Jimmy Johnson voice right there. The South
60
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.840
Fork Yeti. What's going on? Steve and Herschel Walker Golf.
61
00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:15.889
What is up, sir? Corbin, Max, beam me up. Robert Isaacson,
62
00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:26.860
little bubs. Everyone is rolling. Lynn Mars over there. AJ Visco,
63
00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:31.040
what's going on? C. Styles, Corbin. Yeah, a bunch of
64
00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:34.939
people chirping away over here in the chat. So get
65
00:04:34.980 --> 00:04:37.769
your reactions in and we're going to get to you.
66
00:04:38.370 --> 00:04:43.449
Here after this quick recap. And if you didn't hear,
67
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.740
a bunch of call-ups on the ice. Pollock, what's going on?
68
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:55.560
What is this? Nicoletian? Last OV game at the Rock.
69
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:02.319
There you go. Yeah, lots of call-ups. Devils with some
70
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:07.199
unfortunate injury news with Anthony Mantha going on LTIR. But,
71
00:05:07.459 --> 00:05:12.360
you know, Lenny

Hamanajo coming up. Stefan Nason back in
72
00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:21.980
the fold. And hang on. I had to write it down. Koliachonok. Man. Literally,
73
00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:24.480
Sam Wu and I were just practicing that name. And
74
00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.259
I was like, that's one of those names where you
75
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:29.850
say it. And then like two seconds later, you completely
76
00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:36.329
forget how to say it again. Koliachonok. Defenseman on the ice.
77
00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:40.290
And another, oh, we got a Giants touchdown as well. Excellent.
78
00:05:40.310 --> 00:05:44.389
I didn't even see that in the background. Joseph McCauley.
79
00:05:45.889 --> 00:05:49.310
Is it wrong to call this dude Covey? He's Coley. Coley.
80
00:05:50.050 --> 00:05:55.319
Coley a Chonuk. But thank you again for yet another
81
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:01.079
super chat. G-Man TD 6-0 with Helly.
82
00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:01.259
In the net.
83
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:08.139
That's right, John Heaton. Yes, Lynn Mars. hockey player names
84
00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:13.740
can be quite difficult. You know, where's the Jones, the Smith,
85
00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:18.870
you know, Carter. How about some nice easy names over here?
86
00:06:20.189 --> 00:06:31.230
Coley and Chonuk. Jesus Christmas. But either way. Yeah. Bad news, though,
87
00:06:31.250 --> 00:06:34.230
about Anthony Manta being out for a little bit. Helly
88
00:06:34.269 --> 00:06:40.420
back in net. You know, welcome back to Lenny. And Nace, please, everyone,
89
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.699
stay out of Chikorin's way so you don't get flattened
90
00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:48.899
like Nick Cousins did. That was a hell of a hit, though.
91
00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:50.800
I'm sure everyone has had to see the highlight of
92
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.370
that hit by now. That was so, so brutal. But
93
00:06:56.949 --> 00:07:00.970
clean-ass hit. So, you know, that's part of the game.
94
00:07:02.310 --> 00:07:03.709
And by the way, we forgot to mention it the
95
00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:07.529
other day. Nico Heischer got his 500th point. I had
96
00:07:07.569 --> 00:07:09.350
it written down, and I think we kind of glanced
97
00:07:09.449 --> 00:07:12.189
over it during our recap when we were talking about
98
00:07:12.209 --> 00:07:14.100
a lot of things. So I want to give a
99
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.639
shout-out to the captain as well for his 500th.
100
00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:18.939
Point.
101
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.399
But let's get going over here. First period, it starts
102
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:28.550
out with Erod. PPG power play goal early on in
103
00:07:28.579 --> 00:07:31.810
the first period. Two minutes and 20 seconds into it
104
00:07:32.670 --> 00:07:36.759
on a nice little snapper. Great pass across ice. from
105
00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:40.759
Timo Meier as Erod is creeping in from the point,
106
00:07:41.490 --> 00:07:45.129
and he's able to rip one far
side past Thompson
107
00:07:45.709 --> 00:07:48.029
into the back of the net for his fourth goal
108
00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:51.670
of the year. That's Timo Time's fifth assist. So we
109
00:07:51.689 --> 00:07:53.990
get the give it fuel, give it fire, give me
110
00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:59.930
assist from Timo Meier. Ooh, yeah. And Gritschuk gets his seventh.
111
00:07:59.949 --> 00:08:03.800
And by the way, how good is Gritsch and Jack
112
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.329
looking out there on the ice? Like that chemistry. I
113
00:08:08.370 --> 00:08:10.769
know Don LaGreca said it too. It really seems like
114
00:08:11.149 --> 00:08:15.629
they're starting to be able to anticipate where each other
115
00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:21.240
is going to be on the ice. The best example
116
00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:24.079
of that in Devils history will always be Patrick Elias
117
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.680
and Peter Sikora. If Jack Hughes and Gritz can get
118
00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:33.009
into that sort of level, baby, look out. One-nothing Devils.
119
00:08:33.009 --> 00:08:37.220
220 into the game, but the Caps do strike back
120
00:08:37.259 --> 00:08:43.490
with their own power play goal from Ryan Leonard at
121
00:08:43.490 --> 00:08:48.450
1410 of the first period. This was a backhand off
122
00:08:48.490 --> 00:08:53.330
the rush in there. You know, one that, you know, whatever. Maybe,
123
00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:55.889
you know, this might be the one time out of
124
00:08:55.909 --> 00:08:59.340
the 99 out of 100 that Helly doesn't snatch that one,
125
00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:03.529
but it's okay. It happens on the power play. You know,
126
00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:07.029
what can you say? 1-1, tied up, going into the
127
00:09:07.070 --> 00:09:13.159
second period. And then Pierre-Luc Dubois puts the Capitals up
128
00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:19.279
2-1 with a sneaky quick shot far side past Connor Hellebug.
129
00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:23.240
He tried to kick that leg out there, but just
130
00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:27.240
could not find the puck. And yeah, into the back
131
00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:30.230
of the net it goes, and the Capitals go up 2-1.
132
00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:33.799
But rest assured, These are the current New Jersey Devils,
133
00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:37.450
not the New Jersey Devils from three, four, five years ago,
134
00:09:37.950 --> 00:09:40.970
who would then just, you know, kind of melt like
135
00:09:41.029 --> 00:09:45.470
soft butter whenever the Capitals took the ice. And we
136
00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:48.830
still have to thank, you know, Tom Wilson for the
137
00:09:49.789 --> 00:09:52.370
greatest day in the history of New York Rangers hockey
138
00:09:52.929 --> 00:09:57.210
when he single-handedly demolished the team about three years ago.
139
00:09:57.289 --> 00:10:00.220
But either way, the Caps used to do this to
140
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.620
the Devils. They would just freight train them and run
141
00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:07.059
them over. But now, Caps are still a big team,
142
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.360
and they still play really physical, but the Devils are
143
00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:13.419
able to punch back, and punch back they do with
144
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.899
a former Capitol and one of our favorites here on
145
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:24.009
the show, Dylan, you son of a bitch. Brendan Dillon
146
00:10:24.049 --> 00:10:30.909
gets his first point of the year. How about that?
147
00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:35.669
With a shot, long-range shot from the point, and it
148
00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:41.960
just happens to go in. Deflect off of who? Letty Hamanaho.
149
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.559
He gets his first in his first game back as
150
00:10:45.659 --> 00:10:49.960
a New Jersey Devil. Currently not a Utica comment, but
151
00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:53.519
either way, I love seeing Lenny out there getting this goal.
152
00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:56.870
I think it deflected in off of his hand. Whatever.
153
00:10:57.210 --> 00:10:59.629
He was driving the net like he should be. He
154
00:10:59.669 --> 00:11:03.210
was in the place on the ice where he should
155
00:11:03.269 --> 00:11:08.350
be to get those dirty goals, which against teams like
156
00:11:08.370 --> 00:11:12.070
the Caps, you're going to have to score. And that
157
00:11:12.110 --> 00:11:17.399
tied it up at 951 of the second period. Good
158
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.370
old Lenny gets his first. Dilly gets his first assist.
159
00:11:20.470 --> 00:11:24.909
And Cody Glass gets his third assist on the season.
160
00:11:24.929 --> 00:11:27.870
And then after that, man, the Devils hit like two
161
00:11:27.970 --> 00:11:30.029
or three posts. No, I think they had two posts.
162
00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:34.710
And then there was another opportunity. Oh, boy. Commanders just scored.
163
00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:39.250
There was another opportunity by Jack Hughes where he was
164
00:11:39.330 --> 00:11:43.809
trying to put the puck to his backhand, to the forehand,
165
00:11:43.830 --> 00:11:47.799
to go around Thompson. And then the puck just kind
166
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.480
of rolled off his stick, and he wasn't able to
167
00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:53.659
get a good opportunity in. But Jack Hughes hit the
168
00:11:53.730 --> 00:11:57.870
post on a shot, and I can't remember. Someone correct
169
00:11:57.929 --> 00:12:00.830
me in the YouTube chat. Someone else hit the post
170
00:12:00.889 --> 00:12:05.250
as well during that time. Get to the chopper! That's right,
171
00:12:05.289 --> 00:12:09.490
Mark Schwab. Damn it, I can't remember who else hit
172
00:12:09.509 --> 00:12:13.210
the post. But two posts after that second goal and
173
00:12:13.250 --> 00:12:16.899
then that opportunity. by Jack Hughes. So we're going into
174
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:21.100
the third now, tied up 2-2. And hang on, let
175
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.769
me get to my, where's my pronunciation over here?
Koliachonuk.
176
00:12:27.809 --> 00:12:31.750
That is hard to remember how to say right there.
177
00:12:33.009 --> 00:12:35.549
But he gets his first of the year in his
178
00:12:35.649 --> 00:12:39.330
first game as a New Jersey hockey devil, getting assist
179
00:12:39.649 --> 00:12:43.009
from the man who started it all off, Erod Evan Rodriguez.
180
00:12:43.049 --> 00:12:46.539
And this is just a shot Long range from the
181
00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:49.379
point from Koliachonok, who, by the way, is more of
182
00:12:49.460 --> 00:12:54.450
a defensive defenseman. Just putting it net. And what do
183
00:12:54.470 --> 00:12:57.750
you know? It finds its way into the back of
184
00:12:57.789 --> 00:13:01.029
the goal. I mean, in the box, like Keith Hernandez
185
00:13:01.070 --> 00:13:04.629
always says, if you ever watch a Mets game, you know,
186
00:13:04.649 --> 00:13:06.620
a little dink hit. He's like, it's a line drive
187
00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:09.279
in the paper tomorrow. Well, this was a big blast
188
00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:14.570
from the point tomorrow in the paper from Koliachonok. But really,
189
00:13:14.610 --> 00:13:18.110
it was kind of a half-speeder that went to net
190
00:13:18.289 --> 00:13:22.730
and somehow found its way. And good for him. First
191
00:13:22.789 --> 00:13:26.990
game over here, getting the goal. Him and Lenny. But oh, wait.
192
00:13:27.950 --> 00:13:31.600
The new kid's on the block. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Sorry,
193
00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:34.820
I don't know why I did that. It's just hanging tough. Oh, wow.
194
00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:37.320
See what I did there? See what I did there? No,
195
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.039
not good? I know.
196
00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:40.120
The right stuff. Stefan Nason, our.
197
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.480
Thank you, Sam Wu. Thank you. Wow, he knew that reference.
198
00:13:44.899 --> 00:13:47.299
He doesn't know the references from Goodfellas, but he knows
199
00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:53.570
New Kids on the Block. But either way, that's why
200
00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:57.529
we love Sam Wu. Our old buddy, Stefan Nason, back
201
00:13:57.590 --> 00:14:02.830
with the team, called up out of Salary Cap Purgatory
202
00:14:03.710 --> 00:14:08.470
with Anthony Manta back on LTIR. Get some cap space going.
203
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:14.440
And Steph and Mason get sprung on the breakaway, or
204
00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:16.519
you want to call it a partial break, whatever, because
205
00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:18.639
he had a defenseman all over him.
206
00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:27.090
And Steph roofs a backhand over the shoulder of Thompson,
207
00:14:27.149 --> 00:14:30.190
hits the back bar of the goal, and then pops
208
00:14:30.250 --> 00:14:30.830
back out.
209
00:14:31.809 --> 00:14:37.789
Wow. What a shot right there. Koliachonuk puts the Devils up.
210
00:14:38.269 --> 00:14:41.870
3-2 at 627, and then 10 minutes later, Stefan Nason
211
00:14:42.610 --> 00:14:46.429
definitely steals the deal with the fourth goal for the
212
00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:49.889
New Jersey Devils on a beautiful backhand, like we said,
213
00:14:50.009 --> 00:14:56.649
right over the shoulder. Check out the NHL Tonight highlights
214
00:14:57.570 --> 00:15:01.429
on the NHL Network, because I guarantee that one will
215
00:15:01.450 --> 00:15:04.009
be on there. Who knows what SportsCenter is going to do,
216
00:15:04.350 --> 00:15:08.730
but it should be on there. But what a beauty
217
00:15:09.149 --> 00:15:15.070
of a backhand by Nace to put the Devils up 4-2, 17-07.
218
00:15:15.090 --> 00:15:18.970
And the icing on the top, jumping Jack Flash gets
219
00:15:19.009 --> 00:15:23.519
his 10th of the year empty net goal at 19-15
220
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:31.059
for a 5-2 Devils victory. Assists going to Arsini Gritsiuk and...
221
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.220
Jesper Brat, shots on goal for the Devils. 13-7-9 for
222
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.730
a total of 29 for the Caps. 12-8-8. Hey, look
223
00:15:39.850 --> 00:15:46.190
at that for Alex Ovechkin. A total of 28 as well.
224
00:15:47.250 --> 00:15:50.690
Devils lost a face-off battle again today. 28 wins to
225
00:15:50.710 --> 00:15:54.149
the Capitals, 32. Caps won for two on the power play.
226
00:15:54.169 --> 00:15:59.250
Devils won for three. Devils 16 hits to the Caps, 22.
227
00:15:59.250 --> 00:16:03.919
10 block shots, only 12 giveaways. Look at that, caps
228
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.759
21 giveaways. So lots of improvement over there for these Devils,
229
00:16:09.179 --> 00:16:14.269
even with some of those, you know, more common names
230
00:16:14.809 --> 00:16:18.629
not in the lineup at the moment. And this is
231
00:16:18.690 --> 00:16:22.309
the depth that we have talked about, you know, coming
232
00:16:22.350 --> 00:16:25.750
through for this team. I know I was a little
233
00:16:25.769 --> 00:16:29.340
concerned about it, but hey, all three guys gets a goal.
234
00:16:30.110 --> 00:16:32.809
In their first game back from Utica, that's got to
235
00:16:32.830 --> 00:16:36.450
make you feel pretty damn good. Let's check out the
236
00:16:36.490 --> 00:16:39.990
standings here real quick. After 20 games on the season,
237
00:16:40.049 --> 00:16:44.139
actually 20 games for the Rags, the Devils, and the
238
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.860
Carolina Hurricanes, the Devils are still sitting pretty in second
239
00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:51.279
place with a record of 14-6 for a total of
240
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:51.679
28 points.
241
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:52.039
The Rags are 11-8-1.
242
00:16:57.289 --> 00:17:02.299
With 23 points on the season, and the Canes 15-3-2,
243
00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:05.319
32 points on the season. Are they still? No, Minnesota's
244
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:09.279
got 32. Edmonton's got 31. All right, some other teams
245
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.609
are closing in on them right now. Where's that? Oh,
246
00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:15.609
Tampa Bay's only
got 28. Okay, so there you go.
247
00:17:16.069 --> 00:17:19.509
There you go. Great game by these New Jersey Devils.
248
00:17:20.230 --> 00:17:23.569
Off of the road trip, back at home. They start
249
00:17:23.609 --> 00:17:27.660
the home-and-home with the Washington Caps. uh, for, uh, some
250
00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:31.440
of the final games here, uh, New Jersey devils against
251
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.759
the great date, Alexander Ovechkin. So let's hear what you
252
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.400
have to say about it. Chirp away, chirp away. If
253
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.700
you haven't already, uh, in the chat, um, and then, Hey,
254
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:48.509
what's up devil heaven. How's it going? And, um, let's
255
00:17:48.549 --> 00:17:49.829
bring in the man of the hour, the tower of
256
00:17:49.869 --> 00:17:58.390
power to sweet to be sour. Uh, Sam, by God, whoo,
257
00:17:58.569 --> 00:18:02.359
I know, is going to tell you about Connor Hellebuck
258
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:08.579
being 6-0 as the goaltender for the New Jersey Hockey Devils.
259
00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:13.880
You just stole my line. I was just about to
260
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.099
come on and be like, Scotty, he's 6-0. What a
261
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.970
great start. I'm just kidding around.
262
00:18:19.130 --> 00:18:21.069
Well, John Heaton's been talking about it for a while,
263
00:18:21.130 --> 00:18:23.269
so he actually stole your thunder. And then I was
264
00:18:23.309 --> 00:18:26.720
kind of borrowing it. from him as well. So there
265
00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.119
you go.
266
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.119
So I think, do you know who deserves a big
267
00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.430
fat raise right now?
268
00:18:33.750 --> 00:18:34.970
You?
269
00:18:34.990 --> 00:18:38.930
Besides me, but within the New Jersey Devils organization.
270
00:18:40.089 --> 00:18:42.670
How many Woo Bucks do you make a podcast?
271
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.619
That's an undisclosed sum.
272
00:18:48.460 --> 00:18:50.900
Okay.
273
00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:52.900
Ask Joseph McCauley.
274
00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:55.779
Okay, yes. Yes.
275
00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:58.640
Go ahead.
276
00:18:58.660 --> 00:18:59.380
Who deserves a.
277
00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:00.319
Braden Burch.
278
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:01.220
Who deserves a grace?
279
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:05.559
Braden Burch. Sonny made a... Brought him over from Florida
280
00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:07.880
to take over Utica.
281
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:09.630
And....
282
00:19:10.869 --> 00:19:14.809
Utica is back on track of being that pipeline for
283
00:19:14.829 --> 00:19:20.029
the New Jersey Devils. Early on. Because Utica was in shambles. Like,
284
00:19:20.589 --> 00:19:24.700
last season, like, and the season before, Utica... had been
285
00:19:24.740 --> 00:19:27.940
in shambles. I mean, after Kevin Dineen had to leave and,
286
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:33.240
you know, just, it was not the pipeline, that farm
287
00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:35.440
system that we wanted that used to be.
288
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.630
Did he have to leave or was he asked to leave?
289
00:19:39.430 --> 00:19:44.470
Health reasons. Oh, really? Yeah.
290
00:19:44.609 --> 00:19:46.309
I don't mind not remembering that. I thought he got
291
00:19:46.349 --> 00:19:48.009
let go, but either way, go ahead. Sorry about that.
292
00:19:48.349 --> 00:19:49.970
My apologies. Yeah, it's.
293
00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:51.900
I thought he got let go.
294
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.119
It's a very serious health issue. Oh, I'm sorry.
295
00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:57.420
I did not. Why is that an escaping moment? I'm
296
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.160
going to look that up. I'm sorry, but go ahead.
297
00:19:59.900 --> 00:20:06.160
So, but here comes Brandon Burch coming from the Florida
298
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:15.509
Panthers to, to, basically just rebuild rebuild the Unica Comets
299
00:20:15.769 --> 00:20:21.589
the pipeline to bring the Devils to what it's supposed
300
00:20:21.630 --> 00:20:26.230
to be I did not think that wow just one
301
00:20:26.289 --> 00:20:30.750
hire can turn things around and then when the Devils
302
00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:34.660
need that depth and Roman texted me during the game
303
00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:40.150
depth depth depth just to bring up The Utica Comets
304
00:20:40.990 --> 00:20:48.990
up because of injuries, illness, whatever. They contribute. The next
305
00:20:49.069 --> 00:20:55.410
man up mentality. That's a winning formula, folks. That is
306
00:20:55.509 --> 00:21:00.009
winning probability if you want to bring that storyline into it.
307
00:21:01.309 --> 00:21:06.380
That's what I'm talking about. Stefan Nason sent to Utica.
308
00:21:08.210 --> 00:21:12.410
And then coming up, scoring a goal. Pretty sweet goal,
309
00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:17.930
if you ask me. Lenny Amanojo. I wish I was
310
00:21:17.990 --> 00:21:20.450
at the game tonight so I could do my little
311
00:21:20.490 --> 00:21:32.160
Lenny song. Scoring. That's depth. That is one of those
312
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:35.880
signs that this team is coming together. The organization finally.
313
00:21:36.609 --> 00:21:41.789
taking that big step forward. Beating the Washington Capitals in regulation,
314
00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:47.400
two solid points, four-point swing. All these divisional games are
315
00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:52.640
four-point swings. Devils did that. They got the first half
316
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:59.809
of that back-to-back. Game two, Saturday, in Washington, guess who's
317
00:21:59.829 --> 00:22:03.650
starting in goal? Connor Hellebuck. And if they can finish
318
00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:09.089
them off, And sweep this home and home. Devils get
319
00:22:09.529 --> 00:22:13.390
plenty of rest with some practice in between. And then
320
00:22:13.430 --> 00:22:16.529
they play the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday at the Rock.
321
00:22:19.839 -->
00:22:22.430
This thing is working out for Sonny Maynard. I know
322
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.019
the Devils lost to the Jets. That was one of
323
00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:28.920
those things. They have a terrible time in Winnipeg for
324
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:33.240
whatever reason. But this was a much better effort. And
325
00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:42.599
they came out fast. They came out not lethargic, trying
326
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:46.319
to make their special teams special on that first goal.
327
00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:54.720
And, yeah, so my apology. Well, Kevin didn't even let
328
00:22:54.769 --> 00:23:02.190
go before the diagnosis came through. Yeah, it was. But still,
329
00:23:02.309 --> 00:23:06.089
that's no joking manner, of course. And we wish him
330
00:23:06.190 --> 00:23:09.730
all the best. That's probably why it didn't register in
331
00:23:09.769 --> 00:23:13.269
my brain, you know, what was going on with him. So, yeah,
332
00:23:13.289 --> 00:23:16.319
we always give our strength and support out to anyone,
333
00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:21.180
you know, battling cancer like that. So and I do
334
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.400
see over here Utica was in shambles. It wasn't Kevin
335
00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:28.779
Dineen's fault. That was given to us by a new
336
00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:33.640
chat member over here. Oh, Buttsalad82. Might be related to
337
00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:37.240
fart cards. I don't know, Sam Wu. I'm just throwing
338
00:23:37.259 --> 00:23:40.779
that out there. Possible, you know, maybe they're cousins.
339
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.529
It could be.
340
00:23:45.069 --> 00:23:45.470
Could be.
341
00:23:45.690 --> 00:23:46.789
Don't mess with fart cards.
342
00:23:48.089 --> 00:23:53.390
No, no. Don't mess with fart cards. Max is saying
343
00:23:53.509 --> 00:23:58.809
it was Riddich. Riddich to 6-0 and 1. Malik is 4-0-1. Okay.
344
00:24:03.829 --> 00:24:06.430
Yeah, I mean, they're teaching these kids how to win.
345
00:24:06.450 --> 00:24:08.380
And that's what a farm system is.
346
00:24:08.390 --> 00:24:08.880
I like that.
347
00:24:08.890 --> 00:24:11.980
And, you know, with Salahev down there, keep him down
348
00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:14.839
there for an entire year. Teach him how to win
349
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.119
at this level. And this is what building a farm
350
00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:21.930
system is. Not like under the Fitzgerald era. Oh, yeah.
351
00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:25.519
I sign all these guys and they're hurt. Hey, Nemech,
352
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.519
I know you're only, what, four games into your professional
353
00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:31.220
career in North America. We need to put you in there.
354
00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:33.480
So he gets a big head.
355
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:36.619
Well, I think he thought he was supposed to be
356
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:39.809
playing in juniors, you know, back in the NHL level. So,
357
00:24:39.849 --> 00:24:46.690
you know, but that's neither here nor there. Yeah, I mean,
358
00:24:46.730 --> 00:24:51.900
it's great to see that the team can on calling
359
00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:56.220
some guys up like this. Now, obviously, Stefan Nason is
360
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:02.099
not just an AHL player. He's been an everyday NHL
361
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.630
player for the vast majority of his career, save for
362
00:25:07.670 --> 00:25:08.289
maybe this year.
363
00:25:09.849 --> 00:25:13.829
Actually, I'm going to stop you there. You're correct, but
364
00:25:13.869 --> 00:25:17.619
I look at it at a different angle. We redeveloped him.
365
00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:21.859
Well, yeah, no. Yeah, I'm saying that's part of it, though,
366
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.890
is like having those veterans like Riddich as well down
367
00:25:25.950 --> 00:25:29.549
there at the AHL level to help teach these guys
368
00:25:29.950 --> 00:25:35.359
how to play hockey the right way. That's what's up.
369
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:42.460
Max is saying... Salayev threw some big hits in this
370
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:45.640
past game. Man, I would love to see that on
371
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.079
this team. I would love to see... Big Russian bruiser
372
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:57.579
on that blue line. Just laying some people out. I
373
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.859
know that would make Sam Wu very happy as well.
374
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:04.140
It's very.
375
00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:06.140
Dawson Mercer got two more goals tonight?
376
00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:10.049
Yeah. See, now I have a problem. I have some
377
00:26:10.089 --> 00:26:13.029
beef with Mercer now. You couldn't do that. You couldn't
378
00:26:13.069 --> 00:26:16.529
do that with New Jersey. All of a sudden, you
379
00:26:16.589 --> 00:26:20.230
face us. You learn how to do a one-timer. Every
380
00:26:20.250 --> 00:26:23.589
single one-timer attempt he did with New Jersey, he fanned
381
00:26:23.730 --> 00:26:27.440
on it. And if he didn't fan on it, he
382
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.960
probably either hit his own player or it went wide.
383
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:34.099
Now you score.
384
00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:39.750
Feeling the breeze in the crowd from the missed one-timer,
385
00:26:39.789 --> 00:26:40.190
you know?
386
00:26:40.670 --> 00:26:44.319
Yeah, the only thing I... Every game. And the worst part,
387
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.619
he was an Ironman. So every game he had to
388
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:49.250
see that. And then you get traded to the Winnipeg
389
00:26:49.329 --> 00:26:54.990
Jets and suddenly you're like freaking Alexander Ovechkin, a gold scorer.
390
00:26:55.849 --> 00:26:56.809
Where did that come from?
391
00:26:58.589 --> 00:27:02.089
Oh my goodness is saying that December 1st is the
392
00:27:02.390 --> 00:27:10.059
earliest that Mantha is eligible to return. So yeah, if
393
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.700
you missed it, he got a stick to the throat. Um,
394
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:18.279
was it, I
think it was in the Islanders game, right?
395
00:27:18.339 --> 00:27:22.049
Pellick was trying to lift his stick. Yeah. And like
396
00:27:22.130 --> 00:27:25.210
the blade, like, you know, the, the blade like went
397
00:27:25.470 --> 00:27:28.529
right up, like flat. Yeah. Like it's not, there's no
398
00:27:28.750 --> 00:27:29.950
guard this way.
399
00:27:30.490 --> 00:27:30.710
Yeah.
400
00:27:30.769 --> 00:27:34.369
Not this, like the point of the stick, like, like
401
00:27:34.410 --> 00:27:37.750
went right there, uh, underneath his chin. So, I mean,
402
00:27:37.809 --> 00:27:41.799
I was, that's a scary kind of dangerous thing. Near
403
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.460
the old larynx and everything. Well, it's not like Clint.
404
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.220
McGlarchuk, you know, not with the skate blade, but just
405
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.440
it's such a vulnerable area, you know, on the body.
406
00:27:54.460 --> 00:27:58.779
Yeah. But even so, that can completely mess up your voice.
407
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:01.400
I mean, you got to be able to talk out there, too.
408
00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:07.460
I mean, like, communication is huge when you're on the ice. So, yeah,
409
00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:10.569
it's a scary kind of injury that happened to him.
410
00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:14.900
But hopefully, you know, he'll be up. Yes, he has
411
00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:19.420
an upper throat injury. The UTI, which we know Sam Wu,
412
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:22.299
is the king of the UTIs.
413
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.779
Yeah. Not lately.
414
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:29.329
Just wait to the next. Well, I don't know.
415
00:28:29.589 --> 00:28:31.089
Didn't you blow your voice.
416
00:28:30.990 --> 00:28:33.410
Out on not the last football call, but I think
417
00:28:33.450 --> 00:28:34.309
the one prior to that.
418
00:28:34.329 --> 00:28:36.529
Yeah, well, my voice is fine. My voice is fine.
419
00:28:36.609 --> 00:28:37.829
A slight UTI.
420
00:28:38.650 --> 00:28:39.059
It was like a.
421
00:28:39.970 --> 00:28:42.609
It was like a day to day, you know, UTI.
422
00:28:42.650 --> 00:28:46.269
It wasn't like a week to week, you know, like
423
00:28:46.289 --> 00:28:48.130
it was like a day to day UTI for Sam.
424
00:28:48.170 --> 00:28:51.000
Well, no, it's been, it's really because I'm sleeping on
425
00:28:51.019 --> 00:28:56.619
the couch since the season started. Maybe that's why we're
426
00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:58.720
14 and six, you know, sleeping on the couch.
427
00:28:58.740 --> 00:29:01.559
It could be Sam. Woo's just got to sleep on
428
00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:04.829
the couch for the rest of the season. Playoffs come.
429
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:08.170
Put him on the floor, you know? Like, that's just
430
00:29:08.210 --> 00:29:11.930
how it's going to be. Take the couch away, Mrs. Wu. Mrs.
431
00:29:11.950 --> 00:29:12.789
Wu likes peace and quiet.
432
00:29:12.829 --> 00:29:15.549
Do it for the team. Do it for the team.
433
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:20.039
But good old Dawson.
434
00:29:20.059 --> 00:29:23.180
Yeah, good for Dawson Mercer. I mean, I wish nothing
435
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.680
but the best for him. DM was a good guy. Yeah,
436
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.529
he was highly inconsistent goal scoring wise, but he was
437
00:29:29.569 --> 00:29:33.720
out there on the ice every single game. And as
438
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.759
we all noted before, in a team that was so
439
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:40.059
injury-prone like the Devils, it was good having someone you
440
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.359
could actually rely on to be out there all 82
441
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:48.589
games every season. Just wish that there was a little
442
00:29:48.609 --> 00:29:55.430
more consistency with the goal scoring. Saul Goodman.
443
00:29:57.529 --> 00:29:58.130
Isn't that.
444
00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:05.130
Is that the thing from Seinfeld? Or is it Saul Bass, right?
445
00:30:05.470 --> 00:30:07.849
When Kramer meets him in the steam? Nah, never mind.
446
00:30:07.970 --> 00:30:08.589
Seabass?
447
00:30:10.170 --> 00:30:13.069
Seabass. Dumb and Dumber. Okay, there you go. Sam's got
448
00:30:13.109 --> 00:30:14.910
that reference. Well, we know Sam loves Dumb and Dumber.
449
00:30:17.029 --> 00:30:22.759
But overall, really good game here. And Hellebuck, impressive again.
450
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:27.740
Making some big saves later on in the game when
451
00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:32.609
the Devils needed it. You know, 5-2 victory. I mean,
452
00:30:32.750 --> 00:30:39.029
that's pretty damn good. 6-0? I mean, I'll take that.
453
00:30:39.390 --> 00:30:42.009
You know, I love you, Nico Dawes. Good luck in Winnipeg,
454
00:30:42.069 --> 00:30:45.470
but I'm going to take old Helly on this one.
455
00:30:45.910 --> 00:30:47.630
I don't know about you, Sam, but I think I
456
00:30:47.650 --> 00:30:49.130
might have to go with old Helly on this one.
457
00:30:50.329 --> 00:30:53.410
Yeah, I just don't know. Well, I mean, I would
458
00:30:53.430 --> 00:30:57.740
do this trade 15,000 times over, but I wasn't expecting
459
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:01.240
Dawson Mercer to all of a sudden become a goal-scoring machine.
460
00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:06.869
But he'll go 41 games without a goal. It just
461
00:31:06.910 --> 00:31:12.089
depends which Dawson Mercer shows up. But anyway, enough of him.
462
00:31:12.109 --> 00:31:16.789
Sal Bass. That's right, Johnny. Max is blaming me. It
463
00:31:17.250 --> 00:31:20.730
was the Dawson Mercer voice that pissed him off and
464
00:31:20.750 --> 00:31:22.509
made him score two goals against the Devils.
465
00:31:22.970 --> 00:31:24.150
Hey, guys!
466
00:31:24.990 --> 00:31:27.940
I'm 21 now. How about you buy me a beer?
467
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:33.039
Maybe a hand crew brew of American whiskey.
468
00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:35.900
Well, he'll be back on November 28th.
469
00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:36.339
Come on, Nico.
470
00:31:37.680 -->
00:31:38.200
He'll be back.
471
00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:41.440
Are they playing? Yeah. I mean, yeah. So they're going
472
00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:43.259
to be good. Oh, and Frank Neal is sleeping on
473
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:48.180
the couch, too. Good job, Frank. You and Sam Wu.
474
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.549
Maybe we can get you guys bunk couches instead of
475
00:31:52.589 --> 00:31:53.950
bunk beds. We get you bunk couches.
476
00:31:54.509 --> 00:31:56.329
Bunk couches. Never heard such a thing.
477
00:31:56.390 --> 00:32:00.059
Bunk couches. Well, we're going to make it, Sam. You
478
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:03.019
got to do it for the team. Right? For the
479
00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:04.500
love of the team, Sam.
480
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:09.480
Insane Pollock says, Sam, you are on the couch because
481
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:15.119
you keep drawing fart cards? Uh-oh.
482
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:21.789
Is fart cards, is that Pollock's burner account? Oh, fart cards?
483
00:32:22.730 --> 00:32:24.650
Fart cards? Where is fart cards?
484
00:32:25.789 --> 00:32:26.329
I don't know.
485
00:32:27.910 --> 00:32:29.750
Was that a one-time thing? Fart cards?
486
00:32:30.869 --> 00:32:33.130
I don't know. I've seen fart cards a couple times.
487
00:32:35.109 --> 00:32:38.710
We'll see if they pop back in here. Joseph McCauley,
488
00:32:38.730 --> 00:32:47.299
he's on the futon. Oh, boy. Man. The impression is
489
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.640
great and well worth the annoyance of his temporary goal scoring. Yeah.
490
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:58.200
Good for Dawson. Happy for him. I don't have any
491
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:03.140
ill will against Dawson Mercer. Also, we should send our
492
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:08.619
well wishes out to Kevin. I've got big balls who
493
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:10.289
is going to be done, is done for the season
494
00:33:10.329 --> 00:33:12.869
now up there in Calgary. And, you know, after all
495
00:33:12.890 --> 00:33:17.049
these years, he is kind of developing into, you know,
496
00:33:17.410 --> 00:33:19.990
type of type of player. That's got the a on
497
00:33:20.009 --> 00:33:22.789
their shoulder and everything up there in Calgary. I know
498
00:33:22.809 --> 00:33:25.230
we all had high hopes for Kevin ball. And then,
499
00:33:26.289 --> 00:33:31.509
The Jacob Markstrom thing happened. But what did he rupture?
500
00:33:31.529 --> 00:33:33.759
Is Achilles or something like that? I can't remember what
501
00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:34.220
it was.
502
00:33:34.299 --> 00:33:36.700
I think it was that. You got our ACL. I
503
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:38.640
think it's Achilles. I think it's Achilles.
504
00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:41.319
Yeah, something like that. I feel bad for him. You know,
505
00:33:41.339 --> 00:33:45.329
he's another guy, too, that we had some high hopes for.
506
00:33:45.509 --> 00:33:50.690
And again, the development wasn't there. The development wasn't there,
507
00:33:50.750 --> 00:33:55.930
Sam
Wu. Yep. But now we're starting to see. Some
508
00:33:55.970 --> 00:34:03.220
New Jersey Devils. Max confirms it was the Achilles. Yep. Oh,
509
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.559
there's old butt salad. Butt salad's back. We need fart
510
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.579
cards back. What's the skinny on this Kucherov to New
511
00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:15.780
Jersey rumor on Yahoo Sports News? Probably a whole lot
512
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:23.420
of nothing. But if I was Kucherov, I mean... the
513
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.300
first person I would want to play with would be
514
00:34:25.409 --> 00:34:31.250
Arseny Gritsyuk. So, I mean, it makes perfect sense to me. But,
515
00:34:31.269 --> 00:34:37.730
I don't know. We'll see what happens over there. Will
516
00:34:37.750 --> 00:34:42.539
Tampa Bay come around and make good with Kucherov and
517
00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:45.420
keep him there? I mean, they really should try. I mean,
518
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.079
the dude is still producing points and everything. It's not
519
00:34:49.139 --> 00:34:53.789
like he's Turned into a 40-point-a-year kind of player. I
520
00:34:53.809 --> 00:34:54.809
get he wants a lot of money.
521
00:34:54.829 --> 00:34:58.030
I don't know how you can fit him under the cap.
522
00:34:59.090 --> 00:35:00.659
He's making some pretty good dough right now.
523
00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:10.739
Yeah. Pollock says he can't take credit for that name.
524
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:12.340
Nick Adams, Larkin is way more likely.
525
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:13.300
No, please.
526
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:15.000
No, no, no.
527
00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:16.429
No, Larkin.
528
00:35:17.219 --> 00:35:20.519
No, we don't need any of that. It's funny, I
529
00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:23.369
was just talking to a friend of mine from Detroit,
530
00:35:23.409 --> 00:35:26.809
huge Wings fan, and she could not shut up about
531
00:35:27.449 --> 00:35:28.909
how much she hates Dylan Larkin.
532
00:35:34.250 --> 00:35:36.090
Which is probably the sentiment.
533
00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:39.760
Of the entire city over there. But yeah, no, that
534
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:44.599
one I'm going to pass on. Quinn Hughes, yes. Kucherov, yes.
535
00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:50.460
I'll go those two, definitely. How that would work, I'm
536
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:55.940
not really sure. But, yeah, I don't know. Larkin, that
537
00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:00.300
just seems like way too much drama. And we already
538
00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:01.960
got a guy. I don't know if you know this.
539
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:05.619
His name is Nico Heischer, who plays the exact same
540
00:36:05.659 --> 00:36:08.820
game as Dylan Larkin. Would it be good to have
541
00:36:08.860 --> 00:36:11.889
two of the same? I guess, but, you know, I.
542
00:36:15.809 --> 00:36:16.030
Don't know.
543
00:36:17.570 --> 00:36:20.590
Jack Hughes is looking pretty good with grits and Jesper Bratt.
544
00:36:20.610 --> 00:36:22.400
You're going to put him there.
Then you're going to
545
00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:25.940
break that up. Well, you never know. You know what?
546
00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:29.119
I'm going to trust in what Sonny does because so
547
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:32.969
far it's been, it's always been sunny in, in Newark,
548
00:36:33.010 --> 00:36:36.469
New Jersey this season. And if Sonny Mena thinks it's
549
00:36:36.510 --> 00:36:38.909
a great idea and he's got himself a good trade
550
00:36:38.969 --> 00:36:43.210
that is not, we're not getting taken advantage of. And
551
00:36:43.250 --> 00:36:45.780
he thinks that that would be a good thing and not,
552
00:36:46.340 --> 00:36:49.590
a complete and utter issue in the locker room, I'm
553
00:36:49.610 --> 00:36:52.550
going to trust Sonny. Because he's been pushing all the
554
00:36:52.590 --> 00:36:57.929
right buttons now. Lynn Mars, raising my hand right here,
555
00:37:00.329 --> 00:37:02.590
as a person who thinks Dylan Larkin would mess up
556
00:37:02.610 --> 00:37:05.380
the chemistry on the team. And I could be wrong.
557
00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:07.659
I'll be the first one to admit it if I
558
00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:10.900
am wrong, if that sort of thing happens. But I
559
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:17.269
would be extremely, extremely cautious about about going down that route,
560
00:37:18.849 --> 00:37:21.309
especially because, I mean, he didn't even have the devils
561
00:37:21.570 --> 00:37:24.989
on his list to begin with. And the teams that
562
00:37:25.010 --> 00:37:29.159
really could use him, he, he hasn't put them on there.
563
00:37:29.489 --> 00:37:31.760
If he wants out that bad, he needs to just
564
00:37:31.820 --> 00:37:35.380
adjust his list and he can get out of Detroit. Yeah.
565
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:38.800
But he doesn't do that. So, yeah, I mean, he's
566
00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:42.239
kind of screwed himself over there, but I, I don't know. Um,
567
00:37:46.769 --> 00:37:52.510
Talking about your captain. Oh, butt salad. No, please.
568
00:37:55.150 --> 00:37:56.429
Where are you finding these names?
569
00:37:57.989 --> 00:37:58.929
In the YouTube chat.
570
00:37:59.550 --> 00:38:00.699
I'm not getting it.
571
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:03.719
At least that's what it says on my side over here.
572
00:38:05.019 --> 00:38:08.099
Is my YouTube chat, like, I don't know, censored?
573
00:38:09.739 --> 00:38:13.219
I don't know. In between, oh my goodness, we need
574
00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:16.570
Larkin to complete. Our ascent to the most hated team
575
00:38:16.849 --> 00:38:21.139
in the NHL. And then whoever's got the next one
576
00:38:21.219 --> 00:38:23.679
trying to talk some smack on Nico. I don't know. Sorry,
577
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:27.840
but can't back you on that one. I do love
578
00:38:27.860 --> 00:38:30.500
that the Devils are the current, you know, Ric Flair
579
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:33.980
heel of the NHL. Not going to lie about that.
580
00:38:34.099 --> 00:38:35.300
That makes it even more
fun.
581
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:40.820
Yeah. But, yeah.
582
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:45.010
We can have a lot of good times with that. 100%.
583
00:38:45.010 --> 00:38:52.090
But yeah. Wait, who's 8-3 right now?
584
00:38:52.110 --> 00:38:54.050
Dallas is losing.
585
00:38:54.070 --> 00:39:12.389
8-3? Scores? Oh, I hit media, not scores. Devils win.
586
00:39:12.449 --> 00:39:13.909
Blackhawks-Sabres tied up.
587
00:39:14.030 --> 00:39:14.389
Jets.
588
00:39:14.690 --> 00:39:20.670
Oh, it's the Jets. Wow. There's Kyle Conner. Yeah, there's
589
00:39:20.730 --> 00:39:28.340
Dawson Mercer. Five goals on the year now. Damn. Damn!
590
00:39:30.130 --> 00:39:36.199
At least Connor has more wins than Dawson has goals.
591
00:39:37.449 --> 00:39:42.739
There you go. It's getting close now, though. The DM
592
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:50.239
is putting them in. Yeah, Max, 8-3. Woof. Woof against Dallas, too. Damn. Well,
593
00:39:51.179 --> 00:39:53.900
rest assured, we're going to be talking more New Jersey
594
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:57.280
Devils hockey over this weekend because guess what? We got
595
00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:01.480
another game against those Washington Caps coming up on Saturday.
596
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:07.539
This time down in D.C., the old home and home.
597
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.659
And yes, you can fully expect that Connor Hellebuck will
598
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:16.849
be back in net for the New Jersey Devils. Will
599
00:40:16.869 --> 00:40:19.250
there be any other lineup changes? Who knows? That we'll
600
00:40:19.269 --> 00:40:22.960
have to see. Um, as we go along, but you know,
601
00:40:22.980 --> 00:40:25.889
we're going to be talking about it here. Um, I, I,
602
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:30.059
Vinny is Vinny around for game day live on Saturday, Sam.
603
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:34.219
I don't think so.
604
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:39.510
Okay. Someone is possibly filling in for Vinny on game
605
00:40:39.550 --> 00:40:44.829
day live on Saturday. Um, but potentially me have to
606
00:40:44.869 --> 00:40:47.530
see timing wise, but I do believe our good friend
607
00:40:47.590 --> 00:40:51.050
beer Baron, uh, will be filling in for me Saturday
608
00:40:51.090 --> 00:40:55.360
night here at Devils After Dark. I will be attending
609
00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:59.280
the Slayer Rain and Blood 40th Anniversary shows at the
610
00:40:59.380 --> 00:41:03.699
Los Angeles Forum. Cannot wait for that. I'll give you
611
00:41:03.739 --> 00:41:06.300
guys a quick review.
612
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:08.079
I love how you get into these events.
613
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:13.070
Well, it's, you know, perks of the gig. That's all.
614
00:41:13.090 --> 00:41:17.889
That's all. But I will definitely have a little review
615
00:41:17.929 --> 00:41:20.300
of that action Sunday night when we do the big show.
616
00:41:20.340 --> 00:41:22.199
But our good buddy Beer Baron is going to be
617
00:41:22.219 --> 00:41:26.300
filling in and doing some Devils After Dark on Saturday night.
618
00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:30.880
So get all your sarcastic chirps ready for Beer Baron
619
00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:34.440
when he's in here on Saturday.
620
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.099
He's already preparing for his monologue. I'm like, Beer Baron,
621
00:41:37.139 --> 00:41:38.260
they haven't played the game yet.
622
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:47.059
Oh, man. Yeah, that's right. Robert Ossingson and John Heaton.
623
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:52.400
Pretty psyched. It's going to be a great show. I
624
00:41:52.420 --> 00:41:55.039
was there for their final ones a couple years back,
625
00:41:55.179 --> 00:41:58.940
and now I was there playing another one. But always
626
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:04.139
good seeing the almighty Slayer up there on stage. And
627
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:05.800
I think the Cavaliers are going to be there too.
628
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:08.039
Max and Igor. I think they're doing Chaos AD? Or
629
00:42:08.500 --> 00:42:11.300
are they doing Roots? I can't remember. So that'll be
630
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:17.260
really awesome too. Cannibal Corpse. And the southern sludge of crowbar.
631
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:21.019
So we'll talk a little music, but mainly we're going
632
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:25.320
to be talking hockey. Specifically, New Jersey Devils hockey here
633
00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:30.789
at the Let's Go Devils podcast network. Saturday, game day live.
634
00:42:31.510 --> 00:42:35.090
Devils after dark. Maybe a cup of morning woo as well.
635
00:42:35.130 --> 00:42:40.199
And of course, the Sunday big show edition right here
636
00:42:40.469 --> 00:42:43.199
on the network. Yeah.
637
00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:48.800
And like an idiot, my finger was not on the trigger.
638
00:42:51.019 --> 00:42:54.230
Were you waiting for that? I was waiting for it.
639
00:42:54.869 --> 00:42:55.250
All right.
640
00:42:56.889 --> 00:43:01.690
Well, thank you to everybody tuning in. Dropping the podcast
641
00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:06.219
at midnight. Devils win 5-2. 14-6 on the season as
642
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:14.639
they keep on rolling. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
643
00:43:14.659 --> 00:43:19.489
Until next time, let's go Devils.
