00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:13.869
My morning moon, well I love you, I want you,
2
00:00:15.929 --> 00:00:23.609
morning moon.
3
00:00:23.789 --> 00:00:29.800
Rise and shine. Happy Devil's Sunday, this is... The Morning
4
00:00:29.859 --> 00:00:32.899
Woo coming to you live, live from the Primetime Radio
5
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.979
Studios inside the bunker. Undisclosed location in beautiful New Jersey.

Streaming live on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, X Live, Twitch,

and now on Instagram Live on the Let's Go Devils
8
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.420
Network on this beautiful, chilly Sunday morning.
9
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:51.820
1107 a.m.
10
00:00:51.859 --> 00:01:00.320
Eastern on October 18th, 2026. I see some of you
11
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:04.060
folks filing in to the YouTube live. I see Selectaboy.
12
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.480
I see Corbin. Roman, big week ahead. We'll get to
13
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.260
that in a sec. AJ Visco saying, Sam, going to
14
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.680
need to change the morning woo to woo at noon
15
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.359
or brunch with the woo. Excuse me. It is still
16
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.920
the morning woo. I know, I know, I know. It's
17
00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:26.890
a little different format than last season. A lot has changed.
18
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:31.519
changed in my life since last season. My work schedule,
19
00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:38.219
just the expectations of the podcast, still dealing with the
20
00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:41.920
no big stage of the no fun zone dealt by
21
00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:47.540
the Newark's alcohol beverage control group. So we're still trying
22
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.269
to figure things out. Just like the New Jersey Devils,
23
00:01:51.569 --> 00:01:55.329
the best 4-4 team in the NHL, losing yesterday to
24
00:01:56.010 --> 00:02:01.769
the Washington Capitals in kind of a disappointing performance. And
25
00:02:01.849 --> 00:02:06.609
the Devils last night or yesterday afternoon did not come
26
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:11.919
out performing. At the start of the second period, before
27
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.979
you knew it, the Devils were down 3-1 after being
28
00:02:15.020 --> 00:02:18.840
tied 1-1. They even got the first goal of the game.
29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.360
Against the Capitals. Good morning, Meadowlander. I see him there.
30
00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:31.400
Lin Mars. Yeah, would love some consistency from this team, Woo.
31
00:02:32.139 --> 00:02:39.129
From Mr. Kissing You. Interesting name. Max. Hello, Max. I
32
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:43.990
don't know who this team is. And it was pathetic yesterday, Lin.
33
00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:51.349
It was pathetic yesterday. Very pathetic. after beating the New
34
00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:58.110
York Rangers 7-1 last Thursday. And all that goodwill, all
35
00:02:58.169 --> 00:03:02.900
the positiveness, all the good juju just all went away
36
00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:09.460
because of the inconsistent performances, like the inconsistent effort coming
37
00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:15.150
out of these intermissions. And there's been much debate on
38
00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:19.759
social media about it. But this has been going on
39
00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:26.659
for a while, even before Sheldon Keefe, before Travis Green,
40
00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:30.580
and even I'd say before Lindy Ruff when they were
41
00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:33.840
head coaches. So is it the head coach? Is it
42
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:39.300
the players? Dare I say, could it be Nico Heischer's leadership?
43
00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.840
Or is it the culture in the locker room? But
44
00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:47.620
so many players have come and gone. How do we
45
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.099
stop this vicious cycle of these lackluster performances coming out
46
00:03:54.120 --> 00:04:01.090
of intermission. And it's been the theme this season. We
47
00:04:01.129 --> 00:04:05.830
know that the Devils are capable of putting on great performances.
48
00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:12.240
We know that they are capable of being an offensive juggernaut.
49
00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:19.290
Forget about the analytics. Forget about everything. The inconsistent performances,
50
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:26.230
the ability to shut teams down, it's just not there yet.
51
00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:36.209
Good news, the Devils are 4-4. The upcoming week, the
52
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:41.019
Devils have against Western Conference teams. Last season, the Devils
53
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.569
did very, very well against Western Conference teams. And I
54
00:04:45.610 --> 00:04:50.170
truly believe that the better teams are in the Eastern
55
00:04:50.209 --> 00:04:55.689
Conference versus the Western Conference. But the Devils have the
56
00:04:55.730 --> 00:05:05.079
Colorado Avalanche. They've got the Anaheim Ducks this week at home.
57
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.819
Three-game homestand. Finishing it off on Saturday with the Los
58
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:19.480
Angeles Kings. Now, this three-game homestand, Devils are playing a
59
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.149
lot of home games. You would like to have at
60
00:05:23.430 --> 00:05:29.290
least five points, six points out of it. But it's
61
00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:32.870
not going to be easy. But the Devils need points.
62
00:05:35.009 --> 00:05:38.579
And these Western Conference teams, again, like I said, they
63
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.399
did much better against the Western Conference than they did
64
00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:45.980
against their own Metropolitan Division teams last season. Your New
65
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.050
Jersey Devils. And then they're on the road the week after.
66
00:05:55.209 --> 00:06:02.529
Games with the Edmonton Oilers, the Dallas Stars, just to
67
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:07.500
name a few. So they've got a set of Western
68
00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:11.600
Conference teams in the next two weeks, the New Jersey Devils.
69
00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.360
And I'm interested to see how they're going to do.
70
00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:20.350
I really am. I'm very interested to see how the
71
00:06:20.389 --> 00:06:25.670
New Jersey Devils will fare against these Western Conference teams
72
00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:32.620
and see if they're just simply having trouble against rivalry teams.
73
00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:41.220
They also play the Avalanche again on the road. So
74
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.959
they got back-to-back games. They got, you know, October 27th.
75
00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:50.540
This is the week after this upcoming week, and they
76
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.300
got back-to-back against the Stars, and then they go to
77
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:58.360
Colorado against the Avalanche. They play the Golden Knights, who
78
00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:05.370
won the Western Conference last season, and then they come
79
00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:11.870
home on November 3rd to play the Oilers, plus the St.
80
00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:16.279
Louis Blues on November 5th. Their next game against the
81
00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:19.810
Eastern Conference team is also Metropolitan Division team. It's against
82
00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:25.649
the New York Islanders November 7th. So this should be
83
00:07:25.930 --> 00:07:28.949
interesting if the Devils can move the needle in the
84
00:07:29.009 --> 00:07:34.009
standings if they do fare well against Western Conference teams
85
00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:37.370
this season. Chris Ladd says the Devils will run out
86
00:07:37.410 --> 00:07:41.319
of the building if Jake the Fake instead of Jake
87
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.040
the Snake keeps showing up. You want Jake the Snake
88
00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:52.699
to show up. Jake the Fake, not so much. Lamar says,
89
00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:57.250
you know, the Rangers game was a turning point. I
90
00:07:57.269 --> 00:08:01.310
was foolish to think so, I guess. Well, I wouldn't
91
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:03.589
say it's a turning point. I just think there's just
92
00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:07.519
so many bumps on the road. But here's the good news.
93
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:14.759
The Devils are a 500 team right now. even without
94
00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:22.920
having an elite goaltender, plus a couple injuries, Evangelista, downtown
95
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.100
Connor Brown. By the way, downtown Connor Brown, congratulations on
96
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:34.690
your new baby. Seeing that on Instagram earlier. But I
97
00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:40.529
think right now the Devils are an okay team. And
98
00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:44.500
I'm cool with it for now. Still a long season, folks.
99
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.389
Still a long season. But there needs to be improvement
100
00:08:49.490 --> 00:08:52.970
on defense, especially the penalty kill, which has killed the Devils.
101
00:08:55.070 --> 00:09:00.029
Absolutely just have killed them. I would like to see
102
00:09:00.049 --> 00:09:05.539
the Devils play more consistent and with more urgency coming
103
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:12.259
out of these intermissions. But Here, I want to give
104
00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:17.200
you something positive to hold on to. And wait for it.
105
00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:21.509
I'm going to ask you, how about those Utica Comets?
106
00:09:22.009 --> 00:09:27.370
The only undefeated team in the AHL, I believe. At 4-0,
107
00:09:27.389 --> 00:09:32.090
winning last night. Yes, your Utica Comets. Did you forget
108
00:09:32.129 --> 00:09:37.440
about them? Sonny Mata has not. Putting in his boy,
109
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:42.029
Braden Burch, to run the team. Utica's 4-0 right now.
110
00:09:43.070 --> 00:09:45.559
And that's something to be positive about. I know it's
111
00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:49.480
early results. I know it's small sample size. But we
112
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.019
talked about the pipeline. We talked about the farm system
113
00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:59.210
needing to be rebuilt. Tom Fitzgerald had the draft picks.
114
00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:05.379
but didn't have the development of these players, oftentimes calling
115
00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:09.980
them up early, prematurely, like what happened to Nico Dawes
116
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.970
earlier in his career, or even Shimon Nemitz earlier in
117
00:10:14.009 --> 00:10:17.269
his career, not allowing some of these players to actually
118
00:10:17.370 --> 00:10:24.059
develop Develop, develop, develop. And that's going to be key
119
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:30.620
for the Devils long-term and even short-term. Having an adequate
120
00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:35.019
farm system, or not adequate, having a great farm system
121
00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:39.269
can really, really help your big club in a pinch,
122
00:10:39.990 --> 00:10:43.269
especially when you have injuries, especially when you have salary
123
00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:48.860
cap issues during the offseason, especially when when you want
124
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.019
to have depth and hold players accountable, that there's always
125
00:10:53.139 --> 00:11:01.269
somebody in Utica that is wanting to take someone's job
126
00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:06.250
with the New Jersey Devils. Competition is good. It is
127
00:11:06.309 --> 00:11:11.159
a great thing. I am excited about Utica. I am
128
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.179
excited about possibly traveling up, taking the podcast to Utica,
129
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:21.570
New York to see the Utica Comets. And I'll tell you,
130
00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:24.009
some of the coverage, Ben Burnell, good friend of the podcast,
131
00:11:24.049 --> 00:11:29.059
he's done a fantastic job tweeting out, covering the team.
132
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:34.899
And I'm hoping the Utica Comets is going to be
133
00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:39.120
a strong, strong farm system for your New Jersey Devils
134
00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:42.169
because there are some assets, some great players that are
135
00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:49.809
developing right now, like Slive, like other players as well.
136
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:55.179
That could help the New Jersey Devils. Amenaho. You remember
137
00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:06.110
Lenny Amenaho? Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny Amenaho. Remember
138
00:12:06.129 --> 00:12:11.679
that guy? Number 29. Hoping that he makes it to
139
00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:18.100
the big club. Chris Ladd's also reporting Yeageroth at BU.
140
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:26.019
4-1 with a 1.00 goals against average. 9.56 save percentage. Well,
141
00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:35.639
how about them apples? Sonny made it. Getting it done
142
00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:40.559
early on. Still work to do. All positive. So I
143
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.860
don't want you as a Devils fan to get down
144
00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:47.940
on yourself after what happened yesterday with the Washington Capitals.
145
00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:50.110
Next month, they have another shot at it. To kind
146
00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:53.590
of redeem themselves. You got to be like what Taylor
147
00:12:53.649 --> 00:12:57.110
Swift says in her song. Shake it off. Shake it off.
148
00:12:59.450 --> 00:13:01.269
And shake it off you should. Because there's a lot
149
00:13:01.309 --> 00:13:05.220
of things to be positive about. About your New Jersey Devils.
150
00:13:05.250 --> 00:13:10.179
What Sonny Mata has done. In six months. The farm
151
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:10.980
system is winning.
152
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.179
4-0.
153
00:13:13.139 --> 00:13:17.360
Something to be hopeful for. Players developing. Not only developing
154
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.460
their skills. not only getting their experience, but knowing how
155
00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:26.259
to win. That's what this team needs to learn, how
156
00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:31.620
to win. Why? Because if you learn how to win,
157
00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:36.860
you know what steps you have to take to avoid
158
00:13:36.980 --> 00:13:42.549
inconsistent performances like they've had through the first eight games
159
00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:48.409
of this season, of this NHL season. It kind of
160
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:52.200
averages itself out, and that's why they're 4-4. Half of
161
00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:54.720
the times they're great, and half of the times they're bad.
162
00:13:55.899 --> 00:14:04.039
They're a 500 team. For now. Hopefully a couple adjustments,
163
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.299
a couple changes made along the way, they can be
164
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:10.679
above average team, above 500 team. And then you build
165
00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:13.559
and build and build, and then by the time you
166
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.919
get to all-star break, by the time you get to
167
00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:22.080
trade deadline, That's where you shake and bake possibly a
168
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:27.419
trade to bolster up this lineup. Devils would be in
169
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.809
contention of a playoff spot. That's all you can ever
170
00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:37.389
hope for. Max says, I think it's funny on X
171
00:14:37.929 --> 00:14:41.110
that Minnesota Wild fans have nothing hockey-related to say. They
172
00:14:41.149 --> 00:14:46.649
go right to insulting Sam's state of hockey, my ass. Yeah,
173
00:14:46.669 --> 00:14:50.450
I want to further that note. I'm doing some investigative
174
00:14:50.490 --> 00:14:55.950
reporting right now, and today it came to my attention
175
00:14:56.129 --> 00:15:02.049
I actually have some more proof that Quinn Hughes will
176
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.720
not be with the Minnesota Wild after this season. And
177
00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:08.960
it'll probably be about a week or two where I
178
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.860
gather some information, and that will be a Wool Report
179
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:18.399
exclusive investigative reporting. that you won't get anywhere else on
180
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:23.009
the internet. I know that there's all these media outlets,
181
00:15:23.149 --> 00:15:26.389
these credentialed journalists and all that kind of stuff. I
182
00:15:26.450 --> 00:15:30.029
refuse to be credentialed. That's my choice. Why do I
183
00:15:30.090 --> 00:15:32.629
do that? Because I don't have to comply by team rules.
184
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.860
I can say whatever I want. And you're going to
185
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.600
appreciate this type of journalism possibly in the next week
186
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.299
or two. I just got to get my ducks in
187
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.000
a row, make sure all the facts are straight before
188
00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:51.139
I do a woo report Why I think there's new evidence, bombshell,
189
00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:54.440
let's just say bombshell, exclusive to the Let's Go To
190
00:15:54.460 --> 00:15:57.960
Hells podcast, why Quinn Hughes is not going to be
191
00:15:57.980 --> 00:16:00.659
a Minnesota Wild. You don't want to miss that. I'm
192
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.340
going to start pumping the tires on that episode because
193
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.580
you're going to watch that. It's probably going to piss
194
00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:09.240
off a lot of Minnesota Wild fans. It's probably going
195
00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:11.159
to piss off a lot of people in the media
196
00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:15.389
why they got it wrong. Anyway. That's just my opinion,
197
00:16:15.809 --> 00:16:20.490
and I'm sticking to it. All right. Wimpy says Babcock
198
00:16:20.529 --> 00:16:24.450
has Edmonton cooking. Yeah, I mean, they took a risk there.
199
00:16:24.889 --> 00:16:27.129
You know, again, a lot of people didn't like the
200
00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:33.110
hiring of Mike Babcock with his reputation of, you know,
201
00:16:33.950 --> 00:16:38.350
let's just put it that he didn't have a great reputation,
202
00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:43.580
but winning solves everything. Let me tell you. Winning solves everything,
203
00:16:43.669 --> 00:16:46.509
and if the, If the Edmonton Oilers are putting up
204
00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:51.519
great numbers and all that, that's all I have to say.
205
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.720
Winning solves everything. And I know the great Hugh Weber,
206
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.179
who used to be the president of the New Jersey Devils,
207
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:01.139
now CEO of the Edmonton Oilers, he'd say the same thing.
208
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:07.779
And I actually texted Hugh in a jokingly manner that, hey,
209
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.319
if you're ever in a rebuild, think of us when
210
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.240
you need to trade Conor and Leon. Anyway, he laughed
211
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.609
at that. Serf says Eichel has 18 points. It's going
212
00:17:18.630 --> 00:17:25.630
to be fun watching McDavid and Eichel points race. Serf says,
213
00:17:25.710 --> 00:17:30.029
I think if McDavid stays healthy, he's going to destroy everyone. Well,
214
00:17:30.069 --> 00:17:32.170
the Devils will have their chance next month against the
215
00:17:32.230 --> 00:17:34.609
Edmonton Oilers. I mean, look, they have a bunch of
216
00:17:34.690 --> 00:17:38.569
Western Conference games to go through. And you know what?
217
00:17:38.670 --> 00:17:42.230
Maybe they can put up some points. Last season, the
218
00:17:42.269 --> 00:17:45.859
Devils did well against the Western Conference teams. Let's see
219
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.579
what they do. Let's see what they do. And, you know,
220
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:54.210
I'll be honest with you, the inconsistent performances, it's within
221
00:17:54.230 --> 00:17:58.349
the locker room. Even with the new personnel, you just
222
00:17:58.430 --> 00:18:03.190
can't come out flat and lose the game because by
223
00:18:03.210 --> 00:18:05.380
the time the third period happened, I mean, the Devils
224
00:18:05.390 --> 00:18:08.759
put a ton of shots on Logan Thompson, making unbelievable
225
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.599
saves for the Washington Capitals. But it was a little
226
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.160
too late. Timo Meyers' goal, glad he scored, but it
227
00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:16.720
was a little too late 17 seconds left in the game.
228
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.019
The game was already won at that point. So the Devils,
229
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.119
they need to play better. They need to come out
230
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:30.400
with a better effort and not this lackadaisicalness out on
231
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:36.509
the ice, which, you know, again, it's frustrating. But is
232
00:18:36.569 --> 00:18:42.049
it the coach? I'm not sure. Because the same things
233
00:18:42.109 --> 00:18:46.109
were happening with Travis Green, who's doing well with the
234
00:18:46.210 --> 00:18:48.650
auto centers, although they lost last night to the Flyers.
235
00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:57.119
Flyers getting their first win. And then Lindy Ruff. And
236
00:18:57.180 --> 00:19:02.779
even maybe you could say even John Hines, that matter. Nazardine,
237
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.880
when he was interim, the same things happened. Travis Green said,
238
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.740
you know, this team is immature.
239
00:19:08.769 --> 00:19:08.849
Sure.
240
00:19:10.569 --> 00:19:13.000
Well, they need to figure it out because you just
241
00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:18.519
cannot have these inconsistent performances if you have aspirations of
242
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:24.059
winning the cup, let alone getting into the playoffs. And
243
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.069
that's all I got. That's all I got for now.
244
00:19:27.710 --> 00:19:30.650
We got the 9 p.m. Sunday edition of the Let's
245
00:19:30.670 --> 00:19:35.230
Go Dolls podcast. Beer Baron, Scotty will be behind the
246
00:19:35.269 --> 00:19:39.240
mics tonight. So be there or be square. There's a
247
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:43.859
lot of football today. Giants playing the Saints 1 p.m.
248
00:19:44.069 --> 00:19:47.789
Eastern at MetLife Stadium. I'm sure the Jets are playing too.
249
00:19:48.069 --> 00:19:49.849
I don't care about the Jets, but for all you Jets.
250
00:19:50.009 --> 00:19:52.279
Jets fans, I apologize. I just haven't followed the Jets
251
00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:55.460
so much. But yeah.
252
00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:56.640
Alright.
253
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.519
So we're going to get out of here. End the music.
254
00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:04.059
I don't have a drink in front of me, so
255
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:11.009
no ceremonial sip. It's nothing to celebrate anyway. But Dropping
256
00:20:11.029 --> 00:20:14.890
the podcast in about 20 minutes. Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify,
257
00:20:15.049 --> 00:20:22.099
Amazon Music Prime, Audible, and on the iHeart app. Hoping
258
00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:25.400
you guys follow me on X, at Primetime Sam Wu,
259
00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:32.180
Sean Marash of WFAN, trashing Devils fans, saying there's only
260
00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:38.180
17 of us. Well, I hit back. I hit back.
261
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.099
I got a lot of DMs about it. I hit back.
262
00:20:41.109 --> 00:20:46.130
Got a lot of attention. So maybe we just push
263
00:20:46.170 --> 00:20:48.829
back a little bit and let all these New Yorkers
264
00:20:48.869 --> 00:20:52.269
know there's another sheriff in town. It's called the New
265
00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:58.390
Jersey Devils and their fan base. Lin Marr says, do
266
00:20:58.410 --> 00:21:02.950
your uncredentialed thing, Mr. Wu. Well, look, I don't want
267
00:21:02.990 --> 00:21:07.410
to be a professional, professional hockey journalist. I'd rather be
268
00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:13.029
a unprofessional hockey journalist. You got to appreciate the unprofessionalists.
269
00:21:14.329 --> 00:21:18.349
Because we give you a different viewpoint. Good or bad.
270
00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:22.930
And I think that's what all you folks want. It's
271
00:21:22.950 --> 00:21:26.650
not the same old spin story. You want to think
272
00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:32.779
outside the box. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Until
273
00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:36.160
next time, this is the Morning Woo. Let's go Devils.
1
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:13.869
My morning moon, well I love you, I want you,
2
00:00:15.929 --> 00:00:23.609
morning moon.
3
00:00:23.789 --> 00:00:29.800
Rise and shine. Happy Devil's Sunday, this is... The Morning

00:00:29.859 --> 00:00:32.899
Woo coming to you live, live from the Primetime Radio

Streaming live on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, X Live, Twitch,

8
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.420
Network on this beautiful, chilly Sunday morning.
9
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:51.820
1107 a.m.
10
00:00:51.859 --> 00:01:00.320
Eastern on October 18th, 2026. I see some of you
11
00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:04.060
folks filing in to the YouTube live. I see Selectaboy.
12
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.480
I see Corbin. Roman, big week ahead. We'll get to
13
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.260
that in a sec. AJ Visco saying, Sam, going to
14
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.680
need to change the morning woo to woo at noon
15
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.359
or brunch with the woo. Excuse me. It is still
16
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.920
the morning woo. I know, I know, I know. It's
17
00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:26.890
a little different format than last season. A lot has changed.
18
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:31.519
changed in my life since last season. My work schedule,
19
00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:38.219
just the expectations of the podcast, still dealing with the
20
00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:41.920
no big stage of the no fun zone dealt by
21
00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:47.540
the Newark's alcohol beverage control group. So we're still trying
22
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.269
to figure things out. Just like the New Jersey Devils,
23
00:01:51.569 --> 00:01:55.329
the best 4-4 team in the NHL, losing yesterday to
24
00:01:56.010 --> 00:02:01.769
the Washington Capitals in kind of a disappointing performance. And
25
00:02:01.849 --> 00:02:06.609
the Devils last night or yesterday afternoon did not come
26
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:11.919
out performing. At the start of the second period, before
27
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.979
you knew it, the Devils were down 3-1 after being
28
00:02:15.020 --> 00:02:18.840
tied 1-1. They even got the first goal of the game.
29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.360
Against the Capitals. Good morning, Meadowlander. I see him there.
30
00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:31.400
Lin Mars. Yeah, would love some consistency from this team, Woo.
31
00:02:32.139 --> 00:02:39.129
From Mr. Kissing You. Interesting name. Max. Hello, Max. I
32
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:43.990
don't know who this team is. And it was pathetic yesterday, Lin.
33
00:02:44.469 --> 00:02:51.349
It was pathetic yesterday. Very pathetic. after beating the New
34
00:02:51.389 --> 00:02:58.110
York Rangers 7-1 last Thursday. And all that goodwill, all
35
00:02:58.169 --> 00:03:02.900
the positiveness, all the good juju just all went away
36
00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:09.460
because of the inconsistent performances, like the inconsistent effort coming
37
00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:15.150
out of these intermissions. And there's been much debate on
38
00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:19.759
social media about it. But this has been going on
39
00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:26.659
for a while, even before Sheldon Keefe, before Travis Green,
40
00:03:27.419 --> 00:03:30.580
and even I'd say before Lindy Ruff when they were
41
00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:33.840
head coaches. So is it the head coach? Is it
42
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:39.300
the players? Dare I say, could it be Nico Heischer's leadership?
43
00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.840
Or is it the culture in the locker room? But
44
00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:47.620
so many players have come and gone. How do we
45
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:54.099
stop this vicious cycle of these lackluster performances coming out
46
00:03:54.120 --> 00:04:01.090
of intermission. And it's been the theme this season. We
47
00:04:01.129 --> 00:04:05.830
know that the Devils are capable of putting on great performances.
48
00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:12.240
We know that they are capable of being an offensive juggernaut.
49
00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:19.290
Forget about the analytics. Forget about everything. The inconsistent performances,
50
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:26.230
the ability to shut teams down, it's just not there yet.
51
00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:36.209
Good news, the Devils are 4-4. The upcoming week, the
52
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:41.019
Devils have against Western Conference teams. Last season, the Devils
53
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.569
did very, very well against Western Conference teams. And I
54
00:04:45.610 --> 00:04:50.170
truly believe that the better teams are in the Eastern
55
00:04:50.209 --> 00:04:55.689
Conference versus the Western Conference. But the Devils have the
56
00:04:55.730 --> 00:05:05.079
Colorado Avalanche. They've got the Anaheim Ducks this week at home.
57
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.819
Three-game homestand. Finishing it off on Saturday with the Los
58
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:19.480
Angeles Kings. Now, this three-game homestand, Devils are playing a
59
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.149
lot of home games. You would like to have at
60
00:05:23.430 --> 00:05:29.290
least five points, six points out of it. But it's
61
00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:32.870
not going to be easy. But the Devils need points.
62
00:05:35.009 --> 00:05:38.579
And these Western Conference teams, again, like I said, they
63
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.399
did much better against the Western Conference than they did
64
00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:45.980
against their own Metropolitan Division teams last season. Your New
65
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.050
Jersey Devils. And then they're on the road the week after.
66
00:05:55.209 --> 00:06:02.529
Games with the Edmonton Oilers, the Dallas Stars, just to
67
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:07.500
name a few. So they've got a set of Western
68
00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:11.600
Conference teams in the next two weeks, the New Jersey Devils.
69
00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.360
And I'm interested to see how they're going to do.
70
00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:20.350
I really am. I'm very interested to see how the
71
00:06:20.389 --> 00:06:25.670
New Jersey Devils will fare against these Western Conference teams
72
00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:32.620
and see if they're just simply having trouble against rivalry teams.
73
00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:41.220
They also play the Avalanche again on the road. So
74
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.959
they got back-to-back games. They got, you know, October 27th.
75
00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:50.540
This is the week after this upcoming week, and they
76
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.300
got back-to-back against the Stars, and then they go to
77
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:58.360
Colorado against the Avalanche. They play the Golden Knights, who
78
00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:05.370
won the Western Conference last season, and then they come
79
00:07:05.430 --> 00:07:11.870
home on November 3rd to play the Oilers, plus the St.
80
00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:16.279
Louis Blues on November 5th. Their next game against the
81
00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:19.810
Eastern Conference team is also Metropolitan Division team. It's against
82
00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:25.649
the New York Islanders November 7th. So this should be
83
00:07:25.930 --> 00:07:28.949
interesting if the Devils can move the needle in the
84
00:07:29.009 --> 00:07:34.009
standings if they do fare well against Western Conference teams
85
00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:37.370
this season. Chris Ladd says the Devils will run out
86
00:07:37.410 --> 00:07:41.319
of the building if Jake the Fake instead of Jake
87
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.040
the Snake keeps showing up. You want Jake the Snake
88
00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:52.699
to show up. Jake the Fake, not so much. Lamar says,
89
00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:57.250
you know, the Rangers game was a turning point. I
90
00:07:57.269 --> 00:08:01.310
was foolish to think so, I guess. Well, I wouldn't
91
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:03.589
say it's a turning point. I just think there's just
92
00:08:03.629 --> 00:08:07.519
so many bumps on the road. But here's the good news.
93
00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:14.759
The Devils are a 500 team right now. even without
94
00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:22.920
having an elite goaltender, plus a couple injuries, Evangelista, downtown
95
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.100
Connor Brown. By the way, downtown Connor Brown, congratulations on
96
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:34.690
your new baby. Seeing that on Instagram earlier. But I
97
00:08:34.730 --> 00:08:40.529
think right now the Devils are an okay team. And
98
00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:44.500
I'm cool with it for now. Still a long season, folks.
99
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.389
Still a long season. But there needs to be improvement
100
00:08:49.490 --> 00:08:52.970
on defense, especially the penalty kill, which has killed the Devils.
101
00:08:55.070 --> 00:09:00.029
Absolutely just have killed them. I would like to see
102
00:09:00.049 --> 00:09:05.539
the Devils play more consistent and with more urgency coming
103
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:12.259
out of these intermissions. But Here, I want to give
104
00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:17.200
you something positive to hold on to. And wait for it.
105
00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:21.509
I'm going to ask you, how about those Utica Comets?
106
00:09:22.009 --> 00:09:27.370
The only undefeated team in the AHL, I believe. At 4-0,
107
00:09:27.389 --> 00:09:32.090
winning last night. Yes, your Utica Comets. Did you forget
108
00:09:32.129 --> 00:09:37.440
about them? Sonny Mata has not. Putting in his boy,
109
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:42.029
Braden Burch, to run the team. Utica's 4-0 right now.
110
00:09:43.070 --> 00:09:45.559
And that's something to be positive about. I know it's
111
00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:49.480
early results. I know it's small sample size. But we
112
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:54.019
talked about the pipeline. We talked about the farm system
113
00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:59.210
needing to be rebuilt. Tom Fitzgerald had the draft picks.
114
00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:05.379
but didn't have the development of these players, oftentimes calling
115
00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:09.980
them up early, prematurely, like what happened to Nico Dawes
116
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.970
earlier in his career, or even Shimon Nemitz earlier in
117
00:10:14.009 --> 00:10:17.269
his career, not allowing some of these players to actually
118
00:10:17.370 --> 00:10:24.059
develop Develop, develop, develop. And that's going to be key
119
00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:30.620
for the Devils long-term and even short-term. Having an adequate
120
00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:35.019
farm system, or not adequate, having a great farm system
121
00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:39.269
can really, really help your big club in a pinch,
122
00:10:39.990 --> 00:10:43.269
especially when you have injuries, especially when you have salary
123
00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:48.860
cap issues during the offseason, especially when when you want
124
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:53.019
to have depth and hold players accountable, that there's always
125
00:10:53.139 --> 00:11:01.269
somebody in Utica that is wanting to take someone's job
126
00:11:02.330 --> 00:11:06.250
with the New Jersey Devils. Competition is good. It is
127
00:11:06.309 --> 00:11:11.159
a great thing. I am excited about Utica. I am
128
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.179
excited about possibly traveling up, taking the podcast to Utica,
129
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:21.570
New York to see the Utica Comets. And I'll tell you,
130
00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:24.009
some of the coverage, Ben Burnell, good friend of the podcast,
131
00:11:24.049 --> 00:11:29.059
he's done a fantastic job tweeting out, covering the team.
132
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:34.899
And I'm hoping the Utica Comets is going to be
133
00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:39.120
a strong, strong farm system for your New Jersey Devils
134
00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:42.169
because there are some assets, some great players that are
135
00:11:42.210 --> 00:11:49.809
developing right now, like Slive, like other players as well.
136
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:55.179
That could help the New Jersey Devils. Amenaho. You remember
137
00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:06.110
Lenny Amenaho? Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny, Lenny Amenaho. Remember
138
00:12:06.129 --> 00:12:11.679
that guy? Number 29. Hoping that he makes it to
139
00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:18.100
the big club. Chris Ladd's also reporting Yeageroth at BU.
140
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:26.019
4-1 with a 1.00 goals against average. 9.56 save percentage. Well,
141
00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:35.639
how about them apples? Sonny made it. Getting it done
142
00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:40.559
early on. Still work to do. All positive. So I
143
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.860
don't want you as a Devils fan to get down
144
00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:47.940
on yourself after what happened yesterday with the Washington Capitals.
145
00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:50.110
Next month, they have another shot at it. To kind
146
00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:53.590
of redeem themselves. You got to be like what Taylor
147
00:12:53.649 --> 00:12:57.110
Swift says in her song. Shake it off. Shake it off.
148
00:12:59.450 --> 00:13:01.269
And shake it off you should. Because there's a lot
149
00:13:01.309 --> 00:13:05.220
of things to be positive about. About your New Jersey Devils.
150
00:13:05.250 --> 00:13:10.179
What Sonny Mata has done. In six months. The farm
151
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:10.980
system is winning.
152
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.179
4-0.
153
00:13:13.139 --> 00:13:17.360
Something to be hopeful for. Players developing. Not only developing
154
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.460
their skills. not only getting their experience, but knowing how
155
00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:26.259
to win. That's what this team needs to learn, how
156
00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:31.620
to win. Why? Because if you learn how to win,
157
00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:36.860
you know what steps you have to take to avoid
158
00:13:36.980 --> 00:13:42.549
inconsistent performances like they've had through the first eight games
159
00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:48.409
of this season, of this NHL season. It kind of
160
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:52.200
averages itself out, and that's why they're 4-4. Half of
161
00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:54.720
the times they're great, and half of the times they're bad.
162
00:13:55.899 --> 00:14:04.039
They're a 500 team. For now. Hopefully a couple adjustments,
163
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.299
a couple changes made along the way, they can be
164
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:10.679
above average team, above 500 team. And then you build
165
00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:13.559
and build and build, and then by the time you
166
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.919
get to all-star break, by the time you get to
167
00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:22.080
trade deadline, That's where you shake and bake possibly a
168
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:27.419
trade to bolster up this lineup. Devils would be in
169
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.809
contention of a playoff spot. That's all you can ever
170
00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:37.389
hope for. Max says, I think it's funny on X
171
00:14:37.929 --> 00:14:41.110
that Minnesota Wild fans have nothing hockey-related to say. They
172
00:14:41.149 --> 00:14:46.649
go right to insulting Sam's state of hockey, my ass. Yeah,
173
00:14:46.669 --> 00:14:50.450
I want to further that note. I'm doing some investigative
174
00:14:50.490 --> 00:14:55.950
reporting right now, and today it came to my attention
175
00:14:56.129 --> 00:15:02.049
I actually have some more proof that Quinn Hughes will
176
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.720
not be with the Minnesota Wild after this season. And
177
00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:08.960
it'll probably be about a week or two where I
178
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.860
gather some information, and that will be a Wool Report
179
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:18.399
exclusive investigative reporting. that you won't get anywhere else on
180
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:23.009
the internet. I know that there's all these media outlets,
181
00:15:23.149 --> 00:15:26.389
these credentialed journalists and all that kind of stuff. I
182
00:15:26.450 --> 00:15:30.029
refuse to be credentialed. That's my choice. Why do I
183
00:15:30.090 --> 00:15:32.629
do that? Because I don't have to comply by team rules.
184
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.860
I can say whatever I want. And you're going to
185
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.600
appreciate this type of journalism possibly in the next week
186
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.299
or two. I just got to get my ducks in
187
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.000
a row, make sure all the facts are straight before
188
00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:51.139
I do a woo report Why I think there's new evidence, bombshell,
189
00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:54.440
let's just say bombshell, exclusive to the Let's Go To
190
00:15:54.460 --> 00:15:57.960
Hells podcast, why Quinn Hughes is not going to be
191
00:15:57.980 --> 00:16:00.659
a Minnesota Wild. You don't want to miss that. I'm
192
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.340
going to start pumping the tires on that episode because
193
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.580
you're going to watch that. It's probably going to piss
194
00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:09.240
off a lot of Minnesota Wild fans. It's probably going
195
00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:11.159
to piss off a lot of people in the media
196
00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:15.389
why they got it wrong. Anyway. That's just my opinion,
197
00:16:15.809 --> 00:16:20.490
and I'm sticking to it. All right. Wimpy says Babcock
198
00:16:20.529 --> 00:16:24.450
has Edmonton cooking. Yeah, I mean, they took a risk there.
199
00:16:24.889 --> 00:16:27.129
You know, again, a lot of people didn't like the
200
00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:33.110
hiring of Mike Babcock with his reputation of, you know,
201
00:16:33.950 --> 00:16:38.350
let's just put it that he didn't have a great reputation,
202
00:16:39.690 --> 00:16:43.580
but winning solves everything. Let me tell you. Winning solves everything,
203
00:16:43.669 --> 00:16:46.509
and if the, If the Edmonton Oilers are putting up
204
00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:51.519
great numbers and all that, that's all I have to say.
205
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.720
Winning solves everything. And I know the great Hugh Weber,
206
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.179
who used to be the president of the New Jersey Devils,
207
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:01.139
now CEO of the Edmonton Oilers, he'd say the same thing.
208
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:07.779
And I actually texted Hugh in a jokingly manner that, hey,
209
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.319
if you're ever in a rebuild, think of us when
210
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.240
you need to trade Conor and Leon. Anyway, he laughed
211
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.609
at that. Serf says Eichel has 18 points. It's going
212
00:17:18.630 --> 00:17:25.630
to be fun watching McDavid and Eichel points race. Serf says,
213
00:17:25.710 --> 00:17:30.029
I think if McDavid stays healthy, he's going to destroy everyone. Well,
214
00:17:30.069 --> 00:17:32.170
the Devils will have their chance next month against the
215
00:17:32.230 --> 00:17:34.609
Edmonton Oilers. I mean, look, they have a bunch of
216
00:17:34.690 --> 00:17:38.569
Western Conference games to go through. And you know what?
217
00:17:38.670 --> 00:17:42.230
Maybe they can put up some points. Last season, the
218
00:17:42.269 --> 00:17:45.859
Devils did well against the Western Conference teams. Let's see
219
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.579
what they do. Let's see what they do. And, you know,
220
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:54.210
I'll be honest with you, the inconsistent performances, it's within
221
00:17:54.230 --> 00:17:58.349
the locker room. Even with the new personnel, you just
222
00:17:58.430 --> 00:18:03.190
can't come out flat and lose the game because by
223
00:18:03.210 --> 00:18:05.380
the time the third period happened, I mean, the Devils
224
00:18:05.390 --> 00:18:08.759
put a ton of shots on Logan Thompson, making unbelievable
225
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.599
saves for the Washington Capitals. But it was a little
226
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.160
too late. Timo Meyers' goal, glad he scored, but it
227
00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:16.720
was a little too late 17 seconds left in the game.
228
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.019
The game was already won at that point. So the Devils,
229
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.119
they need to play better. They need to come out
230
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:30.400
with a better effort and not this lackadaisicalness out on
231
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:36.509
the ice, which, you know, again, it's frustrating. But is
232
00:18:36.569 --> 00:18:42.049
it the coach? I'm not sure. Because the same things
233
00:18:42.109 --> 00:18:46.109
were happening with Travis Green, who's doing well with the
234
00:18:46.210 --> 00:18:48.650
auto centers, although they lost last night to the Flyers.
235
00:18:48.690 --> 00:18:57.119
Flyers getting their first win. And then Lindy Ruff. And
236
00:18:57.180 --> 00:19:02.779
even maybe you could say even John Hines, that matter. Nazardine,
237
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.880
when he was interim, the same things happened. Travis Green said,
238
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.740
you know, this team is immature.
239
00:19:08.769 --> 00:19:08.849
Sure.
240
00:19:10.569 --> 00:19:13.000
Well, they need to figure it out because you just
241
00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:18.519
cannot have these inconsistent performances if you have aspirations of
242
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:24.059
winning the cup, let alone getting into the playoffs. And
243
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.069
that's all I got. That's all I got for now.
244
00:19:27.710 --> 00:19:30.650
We got the 9 p.m. Sunday edition of the Let's
245
00:19:30.670 --> 00:19:35.230
Go Dolls podcast. Beer Baron, Scotty will be behind the
246
00:19:35.269 --> 00:19:39.240
mics tonight. So be there or be square. There's a
247
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:43.859
lot of football today. Giants playing the Saints 1 p.m.
248
00:19:44.069 --> 00:19:47.789
Eastern at MetLife Stadium. I'm sure the Jets are playing too.
249
00:19:48.069 --> 00:19:49.849
I don't care about the Jets, but for all you Jets.
250
00:19:50.009 --> 00:19:52.279
Jets fans, I apologize. I just haven't followed the Jets
251
00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:55.460
so much. But yeah.
252
00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:56.640
Alright.
253
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.519
So we're going to get out of here. End the music.
254
00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:04.059
I don't have a drink in front of me, so
255
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:11.009
no ceremonial sip. It's nothing to celebrate anyway. But Dropping
256
00:20:11.029 --> 00:20:14.890
the podcast in about 20 minutes. Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify,
257
00:20:15.049 --> 00:20:22.099
Amazon Music Prime, Audible, and on the iHeart app. Hoping
258
00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:25.400
you guys follow me on X, at Primetime Sam Wu,
259
00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:32.180
Sean Marash of WFAN, trashing Devils fans, saying there's only
260
00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:38.180
17 of us. Well, I hit back. I hit back.
261
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.099
I got a lot of DMs about it. I hit back.
262
00:20:41.109 --> 00:20:46.130
Got a lot of attention. So maybe we just push
263
00:20:46.170 --> 00:20:48.829
back a little bit and let all these New Yorkers
264
00:20:48.869 --> 00:20:52.269
know there's another sheriff in town. It's called the New
265
00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:58.390
Jersey Devils and their fan base. Lin Marr says, do
266
00:20:58.410 --> 00:21:02.950
your uncredentialed thing, Mr. Wu. Well, look, I don't want
267
00:21:02.990 --> 00:21:07.410
to be a professional, professional hockey journalist. I'd rather be
268
00:21:07.450 --> 00:21:13.029
a unprofessional hockey journalist. You got to appreciate the unprofessionalists.
269
00:21:14.329 --> 00:21:18.349
Because we give you a different viewpoint. Good or bad.
270
00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:22.930
And I think that's what all you folks want. It's
271
00:21:22.950 --> 00:21:26.650
not the same old spin story. You want to think
272
00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:32.779
outside the box. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Until
273
00:21:32.819 --> 00:21:36.160
next time, this is the Morning Woo. Let's go Devils.
