I don't think there's a lot of fans happy.
13
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:04.439
Scotty?
14
00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:08.760
Probably not.
15
00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:12.560
There's some things to talk about here in this game.
16
00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:17.629
That, you know, yeah, is going to make people pretty upset.
17
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:21.000
I can see everyone already piling into the old YouTube chat.
18
00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:25.540
What's up? Nick Lovell from the UK. Selecta.
19
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.019
Dubs. Eddie.
20
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.480
Always something. Asking Sam Wooda. Hold him. Hold him for comfort.
21

What's up?
24
00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:43.769
AJ Visco. Woo! Dubs with the super chat already.
25
00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:48.900

Codex? Stanley?
27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.260
We got everyone piling in there. Chirp away, chirp away
28
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.599
about this game. Welcome to Devils After Dark. Yes, I'm
29
00:01:58.620 --> 00:01:59.319
Scotty along.
30
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:00.200
With Sam Wu.
31
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.859
Devils lose tonight against the Utah Mammoth. Let's do a
32
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.639
quick recap and then get to your reactions of everything
33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.860
that was going down with.
34
00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:17.800
This game, and of course, being that they are playing
35
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.360
the Utah Mammoth, we have to give a quick shout-out
36
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:22.199
to Eddie Van Halen.
37
00:02:22.539 --> 00:02:25.500
Of course, his son, Wolfgang Wolfie's band is.
38
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.360
Mammoth, and today is actually the anniversary we lost old
39
00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:33.620
EVH a few years back. So I love seeing all
40
00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:39.449
the old red, white, and black Frankenstein artwork everywhere for
41
00:02:39.530 --> 00:02:40.509
Eddie Van Halen.
42
00:02:41.009 --> 00:02:42.030
Get me two, Utah!
43
00:02:43.569 --> 00:02:47.349
As in power plays, that's what the Utah Mammoth have been,
44
00:02:48.129 --> 00:02:53.509
you know, rewarding themselves with so far this season. They
45
00:02:53.569 --> 00:03:00.530
are at an unprecedented level of power play power, I
46
00:03:00.569 --> 00:03:05.389
guess you can say. And they have been unstoppable on
47
00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:06.389
said power plays.
48
00:03:07.189 --> 00:03:08.710
And we're going to talk about that as they had
49
00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:11.349
a number of them. Some of them, I don't know
50
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.310
about their officials.
51
00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:15.370
But Jake the Snake back in net. Devils trying to
52
00:03:15.409 --> 00:03:21.379
rebound from that bagel. Six-pack to nothing. Loss against the
53
00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:26.300
Isles on Saturday night. And didn't start out good because,
54
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:31.099
look at that, the Devils are right on the penalty kill.
55
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.360
A few seconds into the game, Utah comes to play.
56
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.699
They are ready to rock and roll from the get-go.
57
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.500
So teams have got to be the same way, even
58
00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:42.219
though it was kind of an accidental high stick there.
59
00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:44.129
By Timo Meier.
60
00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:49.120
Utah, Clayton Keller gets the goal, won $ 1.
61
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.060
57 into this game.
62
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.819
The Devils are down 1-0 with the slap shot drive from.
63
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:56.879
The top of the circle.
64
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.150
14 seconds left in that kill there, but the Devils
65
00:04:01.169 --> 00:04:05.750
give up a PPG to the Utah Mammoth, which everyone
66
00:04:05.789 --> 00:04:10.729
has been doing. because their power play has been unbelievable.
67
00:04:11.030 --> 00:04:13.740
But this is the third game in a row already.
68
00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:17.639
We've only played three games. All three games, we have
69
00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:19.939
given up the first goal, which is something we have
70
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.220
unfortunately seen with this team, them always having to chase.
71
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.139
But the Devils do come back. They get a couple
72
00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:32.100
power plays of their own in the first period, including
73
00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:36.980
a five-on-three that Our man Timo Mayer drew the first penalty,
74
00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:41.029
a high stick, trying to get around whoever that was
75
00:04:41.069 --> 00:04:41.670
from the Mammoth.
76
00:04:41.709 --> 00:04:46.490
That kind of clocked him in the face. And then Evangelista. Evangelista.
77
00:04:46.670 --> 00:04:48.490
I always say I want to say Lista for some reason.
78
00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:51.800
Evangelista draws a hooking call. So you get a five
79
00:04:51.949 --> 00:04:56.019
on three for a buck 20. And it's Evangelista who
80
00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:58.180
gets his first goal as.
81
00:04:58.180 --> 00:04:59.399
A New Jersey Devil.
82
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.259
A PPG power play goal. Five on three. Devil's got
83
00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:08.889
some good puck movement. Jack Hughes eventually snaps a quick
84
00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:11.990
shot towards the net. And not only do you got
85
00:05:12.089 --> 00:05:15.329
Evangelista there, In front there playing the bumper. We got
86
00:05:15.370 --> 00:05:20.060
Nico Heischer also creating the screens. Evangelista deflects the puck
87
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.540
down the opposite way past the Utah goaltender, Flamengo.
88
00:05:28.339 --> 00:05:31.480
And it's all tied up at 1-1 at 12-23 of
89
00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:32.519
the first period.
90
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.970
Two power play goals there for each team in the
91
00:05:36.009 --> 00:05:45.589
first period. 1-1 going into the second, but it doesn't
92
00:05:45.629 --> 00:05:50.269
last long because once again, the Utah, I don't know
93
00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:51.980
why I keep wanting to say Utah Jazz. I mean,
94
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.740
the Mammoth have been in here for quite some time,
95
00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:57.699
but Utah, it does. I know Dano said the same thing.
96
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.079
Utah Jazz just kind of rolls off the tongue there,
97
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.199
but either way, McKenzie Wieger gets his first of the
98
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.079
year after the Devils just literally cannot clear the puck
99
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.160
out of the zone.
100
00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:11.300
You get a.
101
00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:15.100
Big kick save from Jake Allen coming across, but then
102
00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:19.459
he's down flat on his stomach, and he's got one
103
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.810
skate on the outside of the goal, the other skate's
104
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.589
on the inside of the goal, and he's trying to
105
00:06:23.649 --> 00:06:28.069
squeeze it, and Uyghur's right there at the side.
106
00:06:28.089 --> 00:06:30.310
He gets the puck, and I don't know if he
107
00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:31.569
slid it under or.
108
00:06:31.430 --> 00:06:34.329
If he chipped it over. It looked like he was
109
00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:37.350
going to chip it over, you know, with.
110
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.660
With Jake the Snake down flat on his stomach. And
111
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.839
I think Jake kind of kicked his pad up thinking
112
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.290
the same thing. And then Wigger kind of slid it
113
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.810
right underneath. And now it's like dangling in between Jake
114
00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:54.069
the Snake's legs. He tries to close his skates, you know,
115
00:06:54.269 --> 00:06:56.990
basically on the post of the goal there.
116
00:06:57.449 --> 00:06:59.899
And it ends up kicking the puck into the net.
117
00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:02.319
So a real tough one there for Jake the Snake
118
00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:06.769
because he made a hell of a kick save just
119
00:07:07.069 --> 00:07:11.339
moments before this coming across to stop.
120
00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:13.220
I don't know if it was Uyghur on that. I
121
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.860
don't think it was Uyghur on the first one. He
122
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.980
had the rebound afterwards.
123
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.379
Maybe it was Andrews Lee, actually, because he gets the
124
00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:24.850
primary assist with Sergeyev as well. But Devils aren't done.
125
00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:29.350
You know, that was at $ 1. 42 into the second. At 6.31,
126
00:07:29.350 --> 00:07:33.889
Luke Evangelista gets his second goal of the game.
127
00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:35.769
This time, a nice tip.
128
00:07:36.769 --> 00:07:41.889
After Tebow Meyer going all bulldog there behind the net.
129
00:07:42.509 --> 00:07:45.810
Tracking pucks down, kind of knocking people out of the way.
130
00:07:45.870 --> 00:07:49.009
He just kind of spins over by the boards on
131
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:52.089
the outside of the faceoff circle, spins and throws the.
132
00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:55.420
Puck at the net. And I don't know how it didn't.
133
00:07:56.089 --> 00:07:59.550
ricochet off of the defenseman's skate in front but it.
134
00:07:59.550 --> 00:08:04.629
Somehow went right by it and luke evangelista is right
135
00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:09.269
there uh to tip it once again and it goes
136
00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:12.300
into the back of the net at 6 31 to
137
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.420
tie things up to.
138
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.839
Two in the second period but.
139
00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:24.459
I don't know the devils keep taking penalties and uh
140
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:31.519
Not good here because, yes, the Utah Mammoth are absolutely deadly,
141
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.919
ferocious on this power play, and they get another power
142
00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:39.019
play goal, this time from Nick Schmaltz, coming from Gunther
143
00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:43.370
and Sergachev again at 12.05. Schmaltz is able to get
144
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.190
to the net and then puts it up high over
145
00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:51.830
Jake's shoulder. I think at that point, Utah, I think...
146
00:08:52.850 --> 00:08:55.950
Donnie said, LaGreca said that they were 8 for 11
147
00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:56.889
on the power play this season.
148
00:08:56.909 --> 00:08:58.490
Someone's going to have to fact check that one.
149
00:08:58.889 --> 00:09:02.789
But it seems like they're just operating at like 100%
150
00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:03.990
because it's like as soon as they get on the
151
00:09:04.009 --> 00:09:05.009
power play, that's it.
152
00:09:05.029 --> 00:09:07.500
It seems like the puck is going in the back
153
00:09:07.509 --> 00:09:08.460
of the net.
154
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.299
And that call was kind of a little bit of
155
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:12.500
a chintzy call there.
156
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:13.779
I don't know.
157
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.039
Timo Meier barely touching the skate of our old friend.
158
00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:21.730
John, don't call me Dan.
159
00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:28.830
Isotoner gloves, Marino laces out Isotoner gloves, Marino. Uh, he
160
00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:32.769
draws the penalty on that one, but that call was pretty,
161
00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:37.610
pretty cheap. Um, but we'll say a hat tip to
162
00:09:37.629 --> 00:09:39.590
John Marino for, for drawing one right there.
163
00:09:39.629 --> 00:09:42.370
But then Utah gets another goal. That's a 1205.
164
00:09:42.370 --> 00:09:44.409
And then at the end of the period, 1903, uh,
165
00:09:45.029 --> 00:09:49.179
Kraus gets his first, um, a tip in right. He
166
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.730
rips the shot from a center, uh, Jake makes a
167
00:09:52.850 --> 00:09:56.730
good shoulder save on and Kraus threw in the front
168
00:09:56.769 --> 00:10:02.110
of the net. He slams the backhand. Rebound home for
169
00:10:02.909 --> 00:10:08.320
the Utah Mammoth. Right after that, actually, scary moment. Sergeyev
170
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:13.039
takes a clearing attempt from his own teammate. Puck to
171
00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:14.759
the back of the head. I don't know if it
172
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.460
hit him in the ear, back.
173
00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:18.440
Of the head. It didn't look great.
174
00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:20.830
You know, he got up and he skated off, but
175
00:10:21.350 --> 00:10:24.690
he did not return for the third period. So never
176
00:10:24.750 --> 00:10:27.529
want to see anything quite like that because that's just
177
00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:31.070
an unfortunate kind of bad, bad play of the puck.
178
00:10:31.809 --> 00:10:34.600
But yeah, his own teammate just trying to clear it
179
00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.620
and shoots it right up into the back of his
180
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.019
head there.
181
00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.679
So hopefully Sergeyev is okay.
182
00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:43.539
We're moving to the third and the Devils get some
183
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.350
bad injury news of their own with Jonas Siegenthaler in
184
00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:52.820
the corner. Takes a shove from Logan Cooley, and his
185
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:56.840
knee just kind of buckles, and it rolls and twists
186
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.399
a little bit. Very awkward looking for Seags, and he
187
00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:05.580
heads right to the bench and down the tunnel to
188
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.570
the locker room and also does not return. So if
189
00:11:09.669 --> 00:11:14.789
anyone heard any updates maybe in the press conference or
190
00:11:14.850 --> 00:11:19.120
anything like that, Please feel free to drop them in
191
00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:19.860
the chat.
192
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.620
And we got to find out.
193
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.980
What's going on with Seegs because that's not someone you
194
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.860
want to see have any knee injuries right now, especially
195
00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:34.220
with Kovacevic still, you know, out there recuperating. I know
196
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.139
he's getting closer to a return.
197
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.159
But still not good.
198
00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:45.840
And then McBain put a hit on Chisholm in the corner.
199
00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:51.080
And Brendan Dillon comes over and, okay, they drop the gloves.
200
00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:55.149
I actually think McBain dropped his gloves first. They were talking.
201
00:11:55.889 --> 00:11:58.889
And then Dillon, you know, he drops them too. And Dilly, yeah,
202
00:11:58.909 --> 00:12:00.730
he gets a couple shots in there. McBain gets a
203
00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:01.470
couple shots in there.
204
00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:04.990
Dilly's jersey gets up over his head. The officials step
205
00:12:05.029 --> 00:12:08.610
in there. You know, no worse for weather. But, I mean, like,
206
00:12:08.669 --> 00:12:10.269
it was a good little scrap over there.
207
00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:13.049
Little bit of an edge there to McBain at the
208
00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:15.570
end because the jersey goes up but hey Dilley standing
209
00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:17.549
up for his team you always love to see that
210
00:12:17.970 --> 00:12:21.279
Chisholm taking a a hard hit in the corner we
211
00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:24.639
know McBain is is a really tough kid um.
212
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.860
Yeah somehow they gave Brendan Dillon.
213
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:34.570
A roughing minor as well in that situation which just
214
00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:41.090
gives this dynamic power play unit of Utah another opportunity
215
00:12:41.169 --> 00:12:43.480
I The tripping call was.
216
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:44.919
Like, ooh.
217
00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:49.450
This one, I really just, you know, we have to
218
00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:52.970
get back on our NHL officials' vision plan.
219
00:12:54.629 --> 00:12:56.149
You know, has anyone found out?
220
00:12:57.269 --> 00:13:00.009
Have they been receiving coverage for this season? Because we
221
00:13:00.049 --> 00:13:02.950
know last year, they did not have a vision plan.
222
00:13:04.110 --> 00:13:06.889
They were unable to go to the eye doctor to
223
00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:11.750
get their vision checked. And it seems to be that
224
00:13:11.970 --> 00:13:17.549
similar things are starting to happen already this year. Because
225
00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:19.029
there's going to be one more thing that we're going
226
00:13:19.049 --> 00:13:22.320
to talk about that the officials seem to be looking
227
00:13:22.389 --> 00:13:27.980
directly at, yet there was nothing coming from it. Either way,
228
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:32.740
Brendan Dillon somehow gets an extra roughing, though they both
229
00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:35.240
dropped the gloves basically at the same time. I mean,
230
00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:37.529
I kind of think McMain started to take them off first.
231
00:13:38.950 --> 00:13:42.610
But either way, The Devils somehow or another kept Utah
232
00:13:42.990 --> 00:13:46.929
from getting another power play goal. And I'm telling you,
233
00:13:46.950 --> 00:13:51.429
just by the skin of their teeth, Megadeth countdown to
234
00:13:51.470 --> 00:13:56.529
extinction style over there, okay? I mean, Utah was in
235
00:13:56.549 --> 00:14:00.840
the zone for essentially the entire power play. That PK
236
00:14:00.929 --> 00:14:05.659
unit had to be about a minute 30, minute 40
237
00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:08.340
out on the ice, like in the zone, just going.
238
00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:14.899
Jake the Snake eventually covers up, but man, whoo, that
239
00:14:15.019 --> 00:14:17.730
Utah unit is just deadly.
240
00:14:18.269 --> 00:14:19.330
But then we get to say.
241
00:14:19.169 --> 00:14:25.350
Welcome back to our old friend making his re-debut for
242
00:14:25.370 --> 00:14:28.000
the New Jersey Devils, and that'd be Jesper Boquist. He
243
00:14:28.029 --> 00:14:33.440
gets his first of the year. Welcome back, buddy. Dougie
244
00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:35.659
puts a shot towards the net that gets blocked, and
245
00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:38.350
Boquist able to get to that loose puck. and puts
246
00:14:38.389 --> 00:14:41.909
a nice, pretty backhand home for his first of the season.
247
00:14:41.970 --> 00:14:44.070
Chisholm gets the other assist, so his first.
248
00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:45.100
Point as a double as well.
249
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.960
And yes, I know what you're thinking, Dougie Hamilton, but alas,
250
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.259
no football calls during the losses.
251
00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:53.159
That's only during the wins.
252
00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:58.279
But good for Jesper to get that goal in his
253
00:14:58.330 --> 00:15:02.250
first game for the Devils this season. And I'm thinking
254
00:15:02.289 --> 00:15:06.190
we'll probably see a little bit more from Jesper as
255
00:15:06.230 --> 00:15:08.889
the season goes along, wouldn't be surprised to see him
256
00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:12.629
maybe slide in as more of a regular on that
257
00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:16.509
fourth line, even when Connor Brown returns.
258
00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:18.759
We'll see how it all plays out, but either way.
259
00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:26.340
After that, everyone's not favorite center, who was originally from
260
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.139
the Carolina Hurricanes and then the New York Rangers and
261
00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:33.120
now on the Utah Mammoth, Vincent Trocek gets his first
262
00:15:33.210 --> 00:15:38.379
of the year. driving to the net there and being
263
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.830
able to tip one home. He gets his first to
264
00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:46.029
make it 5-3 at 1652 of the third period.
265
00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:52.970
Not feeling good at that point. However, however, with.
266
00:15:52.850 --> 00:16:00.399
A delayed penalty on the board and a six-on-five situation
267
00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:04.799
on the ice, you know, Because the Devils had already
268
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.860
pulled Jake the Snake.
269
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.220
There was a mad scramble in front of the net.
270
00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:11.759
And there was a loose puck the entire time. And
271
00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:20.000
there was no whistle blown whatsoever. And eventually Timo Meier
272
00:16:20.649 --> 00:16:23.929
pulls the puck out of the scrum. And he pops
273
00:16:23.990 --> 00:16:24.970
it into the bag of the net.
274
00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:30.279
And I don't know who it was. Was it Keller
275
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.620
or Kraus? It was right there. They tried to actually
276
00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:34.200
grab it out from inside of the net.
277
00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:40.399
And you see the official skating in, looking down directly
278
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.299
at the puck.
279
00:16:42.950 --> 00:16:48.029
It's in the net. The Mammoth player is trying to
280
00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:58.169
grab at it to pull it out. Then the whistle blows. Significantly...
281
00:16:58.169 --> 00:16:59.610
well after.
282
00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:02.409
The puck has already gone in the net.
283
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:10.339
More time than would be allowed for, say, a baseball
284
00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.359
ball and strike challenge.
285
00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:17.660
If this was baseball, they would have said you would
286
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.099
have had to have tapped your helmet by now. We're
287
00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:25.400
moving on to the next play. A significant delay in
288
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:26.519
that whistle being blown.
289
00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:29.069
And I get the whole rule of.
290
00:17:29.230 --> 00:17:32.569
Oh, well, we meant to blow the whistle. Well, us officials,
291
00:17:32.589 --> 00:17:36.150
we can't see a thing. So sometimes we can't even
292
00:17:36.210 --> 00:17:40.619
find our whistle to blow it. I mean, that was
293
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
well after the play was over. Well after the play.
294
00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:45.720
And watch the replay.
295
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:52.049
The official literally has his head down looking exactly at
296
00:17:52.109 --> 00:17:52.509
the puck.
297
00:17:54.970 --> 00:17:58.720
If there was intent... To blow the whistle? It should
298
00:17:58.740 --> 00:18:02.059
have happened before that. They were letting it.
299
00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:04.819
Play, and then all of a sudden the puck goes
300
00:18:04.859 --> 00:18:07.720
in the net, Utah tries to grab it out of
301
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.269
the net, and then they blow the whistle.
302
00:18:13.289 --> 00:18:18.269
And somehow they call no goal. Because, oh wait, we
303
00:18:18.369 --> 00:18:21.869
meant to blow our little whistle. We were just unable
304
00:18:21.890 --> 00:18:22.569
to find it.
305
00:18:22.589 --> 00:18:23.630
Oh, what do you know?
306
00:18:23.710 --> 00:18:26.410
It's right here on my finger. They gave us a
307
00:18:26.430 --> 00:18:28.579
little ring, so it just stays right there.
308
00:18:29.490 --> 00:18:29.779
Wow.
309
00:18:30.730 --> 00:18:37.079
What do you know? What the hell was that? I'm
310
00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:40.279
not sure how that wasn't a goal. I really don't
311
00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:40.519
get it.
312
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.480
Because the whistle, like I said, significantly after the fact.
313
00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:54.089
But somehow or another, no goal. Um, so the devil's
314
00:18:54.130 --> 00:18:56.329
going to the power play. They do not score. And
315
00:18:56.349 --> 00:19:00.690
this game ends as a five, three loss to the
316
00:19:00.910 --> 00:19:02.210
Utah mammoth.
317
00:19:02.309 --> 00:19:02.750
All right.
318
00:19:02.789 --> 00:19:07.170
Shots on goal over here, uh, for the devils, a
319
00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:11.130
total of, uh, 33, 11, 10, 12, uh, for the
320
00:19:11.170 --> 00:19:15.990
mammoth eight, 14, nine for a total of 31 face-offs. Uh,
321
00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:18.009
Utah had the slight advantage, 36 wins. The devil's 34, uh,
322
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.940
I mean, here's the big one, power plays. Utah, two
323
00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:26.210
for four. The Devils, one for five. Hits, the Devils
324
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.549
have not been very physical at all so far. 24
325
00:19:29.549 --> 00:19:34.710
hits to the Devils, 10. Utah, 21 block shots to
326
00:19:34.730 --> 00:19:37.089
the Devils, 14.
327
00:19:37.089 --> 00:19:39.890
Giveaways, the Devils had 22 giveaways.
328
00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:43.609
Utah had 24, but the Devils, 22 giveaways. That is
329
00:19:43.650 --> 00:19:49.109
just way, way too much against a team like Utah
330
00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:49.990
Who has it?
331
00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:57.079
Significantly improved in the offseason. So once again.
332
00:19:57.099 --> 00:20:00.569
I don't know how many of these you can put
333
00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:05.490
on Jake the Snake, but five goals here, six goals
334
00:20:05.549 --> 00:20:09.210
in the last game for Dawes. Devils are now 1-2
335
00:20:09.390 --> 00:20:13.950
on the season. Still seeing a lot of growing pains, which,
336
00:20:14.150 --> 00:20:17.369
you know, can be expected with all the new faces,
337
00:20:18.309 --> 00:20:21.329
some of the new, you know, coaching system that, you know,
338
00:20:21.369 --> 00:20:24.599
some of these new guys are playing in. But I
339
00:20:24.630 --> 00:20:27.799
think a big one, too, is this defense. We really
340
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.259
have to find out what's up with Siegenthaler. And, you know,
341
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:36.779
that last Utah goal, Luke Hughes, Luke, you boy. He
342
00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:43.259
was trying to force a puck through center ice to Jack,
343
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:48.240
and it got picked off. And Trocek was able, I mean,
344
00:20:48.329 --> 00:20:51.430
no one, there's only maybe a handful of guys that
345
00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:54.670
should be able to outreach Luke Hughes in this league.
346
00:20:54.750 --> 00:20:57.470
And Vincent Trocek is not one of them. He outworked
347
00:20:58.069 --> 00:21:01.990
Luke Hughes to the front of that net and was
348
00:21:02.069 --> 00:21:03.170
able to put that.
349
00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:10.759
Puck home to seal the deal. seven giveaways between Chisholm
350
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.900
and Luke Hughes. Four for Chisholm, three for Luke. Got
351
00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:19.910
to clean that up. And I think they will. I
352
00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:22.269
think it's just kind of beginning of the season.
353
00:21:22.309 --> 00:21:25.890
Very quick preseason and everything like that. A little bit
354
00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:30.569
different this year. But right now, these are some things
355
00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:33.470
that are sticking out for this team. Can they clean
356
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:33.759
it up?
357
00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.460
Yes. Will they?
358
00:21:37.190 --> 00:21:39.630
I hope so. Let's hear what you think about it,
359
00:21:39.650 --> 00:21:41.670
all right? And let's bring in the man of the hour,
360
00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:45.950
the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Sam,
361
00:21:46.069 --> 00:21:49.029
by God, woo. And hear what you have to say.
362
00:21:49.109 --> 00:21:52.190
YouTube chat, chirp it up, chirp it up, chirp it up.
363
00:21:54.950 --> 00:21:56.210
What's going on there, Sam?
364
00:21:59.450 --> 00:22:03.299
Some say that the Devils didn't play badly. I thought
365
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.779
they were bad tonight. They had no heart. They had
366
00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:10.380
no energy at times. But when they played with urgency,
367
00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:14.500
they looked like a different team. And towards the end there,
368
00:22:14.619 --> 00:22:17.779
that Timo Meier, I guess, non-goal, you know, it was
369
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.720
a little too late at that point to play with
370
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:21.539
that kind of fire.
371
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.660
I don't know, Scotty. It's just like it seems like
372
00:22:26.089 --> 00:22:27.140
same old devils.
373
00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:31.069
Tonight. At least they scored goals.
374
00:22:31.289 --> 00:22:35.950
At least they scored goals. But, you know. It's a
375
00:22:35.970 --> 00:22:36.750
little concerning.
376
00:22:40.809 --> 00:22:43.930
I think so as well. I think there's a lot
377
00:22:43.970 --> 00:22:47.990
of just things that are, you know, popping up again.
378
00:22:48.009 --> 00:22:50.819
And who was it that said this? I got to
379
00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:58.220
go back up here. Robert Isaacson, shocker. Cue that gif.
380
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.740
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Well, not that shocked.
381
00:23:02.710 --> 00:23:05.259
Devils are down 1-0 two minutes into the game.
382
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:07.599
Never, never heard of that thing happening before.
383
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.400
Three games.
384
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.339
Three times we're chasing the lead.
385
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:20.240
Again, it's early in the season. Fire Sutter. Fire Johnny Mack.
386
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.099
Oh, boy. Fire DeBoer.
387
00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:24.819
Oh, geez.
388
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:26.759
Eric.
389
00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:30.690
Eric. Eric Gob over here. My concern is honestly in
390
00:23:30.710 --> 00:23:32.759
the defensive zone. It looks like they don't know where
391
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.259
to go.
392
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.819
There is so much doubt in the defensive zone that
393
00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:38.039
they get beat so many.
394
00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:40.339
Pucks in front of their own net.
395
00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:41.480
Yeah, I agree.
396
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:43.349
Jacob Schmo, love Timo's game.
397
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:48.410
I thought Timo and Evangelista had the best games out
398
00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:53.450
of the forwards. Both were highly noticeable out there on
399
00:23:53.490 --> 00:23:56.829
the ice. Evangelista almost got a hat trick. Forgot to
400
00:23:56.869 --> 00:24:00.750
mention that. In that scrum, Evangelista tipped the puck that
401
00:24:00.769 --> 00:24:03.650
went off the post. That's what started that whole scrum
402
00:24:03.690 --> 00:24:06.329
in front of the net, which Timo Meier did score,
403
00:24:06.410 --> 00:24:09.119
but the officials decided to say, oh, no, we meant
404
00:24:09.190 --> 00:24:10.640
to blow our whistle.
405
00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:13.180
Oh, I'm sorry.
406
00:24:16.099 --> 00:24:19.880
Stephen Tardaz says the Hughes line, minus two, five on five.
407
00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:23.619
Manta looks slow. Yeah.
408
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.549
Yeah.
409
00:24:25.910 --> 00:24:27.849
There was a lot of line switching up there in
410
00:24:27.869 --> 00:24:29.769
the third period. Codex, you're right.
411
00:24:29.809 --> 00:24:36.740
Gritz was up with Jack and Jesper. I know everyone
412
00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:38.759
gets on me for this one, but I'm telling you,
413
00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:42.779
once Connor Brown comes back, he has got the speed
414
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.099
to play with Jack Hughes and Jesper Brad and looked very,
415
00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:49.980
very good with them at the end of the year.
416
00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:55.869
Really need a positive update on old Connor Brown. Even
417
00:24:55.930 --> 00:24:58.630
if he doesn't stay there the whole entire time, I
418
00:24:58.710 --> 00:25:03.009
think it would do good for the team, for Jack
419
00:25:03.410 --> 00:25:17.259
and Jesper to get them going. Selecta, Manta looks slow.
420
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.619
Supernova says, everyone's going to say to fire Keefe.
421
00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:20.200
Not the answer.
422
00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:32.460
This team is not built for a tough coach, unfortunately. So, yeah.
423
00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:34.000
We still don't have a sniper.
424
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.099
Said World's Worst Gamer.
425
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.019
Thanks to Holtz.
426
00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:44.740
Yes. Thanks, Holtzy, for not panning out.
427
00:25:48.589 --> 00:25:51.170
The defense is bad. Stanley says, aside from Luke, they
428
00:25:51.190 --> 00:25:52.769
cannot move the puck well enough.
429
00:25:53.250 --> 00:25:56.809
I didn't think Dougie was that bad with everything today.
430
00:25:58.289 --> 00:26:03.789
I thought he was playing pretty well. A little bit
431
00:26:03.849 --> 00:26:05.390
lack of passion right now.
432
00:26:06.049 --> 00:26:08.410
Double down under is getting on Sheldon Keefe. We need
433
00:26:08.430 --> 00:26:14.480
a coach with some balls and integrity. Like Torts or Cassidy. Supernova,
434
00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:16.559
same old stuff, playing from behind the entire game.
435
00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:23.579
Yep. And it's another thing, too, where.
436
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:28.329
They started off slow, which is something we had seen
437
00:26:28.869 --> 00:26:33.869
many times last year as well. Like, Utah scored twice in, like,
438
00:26:33.890 --> 00:26:36.150
the first two minutes of the first and second period.
439
00:26:37.210 --> 00:26:38.990
And then they pitched one in right at the end
440
00:26:39.089 --> 00:26:41.589
as well. It was, like, about 19.03, so under a
441
00:26:41.630 --> 00:26:45.250
minute left. I mean, that's three goals in that time
442
00:26:45.289 --> 00:26:48.470
that you really, really don't want to give one up.
443
00:26:48.509 --> 00:26:50.069
And a big shout to our man Frank the Tank,
444
00:26:50.089 --> 00:26:52.930
who just walked behind Sam Wu there, if you saw
445
00:26:52.990 --> 00:26:54.130
him in the white shirt.
446
00:26:54.970 --> 00:26:57.589
And Ponytail. He is the man who is.
447
00:26:57.589 --> 00:27:01.170
Trying to make the magic happen for us and you
448
00:27:01.250 --> 00:27:07.200
Devils fans to be outside and having a good time.
449
00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:11.839
We'll discuss that on another podcast. But let me tell you,
450
00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:15.960
we know there are some issues going on right now
451
00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:17.220
that is out of our control.
452
00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:19.950
But let me tell you, Frank the Tank is working.
453
00:27:20.150 --> 00:27:23.880
Meticulously hard behind the scenes to because he wants us
454
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.839
to be able to go outside and have these fun
455
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:28.799
events pre-game and post-game as well.
456
00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:31.880
So big shout-out to Frank the Tank for always.
457
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.630
Hooking us up. And also Kevin. Also Kevin.
458
00:27:35.069 --> 00:27:39.410
I actually got the behind-the-scenes details, what's going on at
459
00:27:39.509 --> 00:27:40.069
Edison Place.
460
00:27:40.130 --> 00:27:45.069
It's absolutely disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. That's all I have to say.
461
00:27:45.170 --> 00:27:49.869
Yeah, so we just want to thank them for doing
462
00:27:49.990 --> 00:27:52.410
everything they can, giving us a home.
463
00:27:52.970 --> 00:27:55.490
for the Let's Go Devils podcast and Game Day Live
464
00:27:55.509 --> 00:27:56.670
and Devils After Dark.
465
00:27:57.630 --> 00:28:00.539
So if you're going to a game, as always, there's
466
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.799
our man, there's our man. Stop by American Whiskey and
467
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.539
say hello. Tell them Scotty or Sam or Vinny sent
468
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.019
you down there and have yourself a good time at
469
00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:15.089
American Whiskey. Wimpy says the Flyers made us look good,
470
00:28:15.150 --> 00:28:16.410
yet we barely beat them.
471
00:28:16.890 --> 00:28:18.970
Let's evaluate. It isn't pretty.
472
00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:19.430
Okay.
473
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.140
Uh-oh, the Fraggle. I'm not going to get into that Fraggle.
474
00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:33.509
I said I would contemplate that, and there wasn't a
475
00:28:33.529 --> 00:28:35.049
good reaction, so I'm not even going to bring that
476
00:28:35.109 --> 00:28:35.630
up anymore.
477
00:28:36.069 --> 00:28:39.349
I think we're all just overreacting a little bit right now.
478
00:28:40.250 --> 00:28:42.930
We all have very high expectations. We want to see
479
00:28:42.950 --> 00:28:45.829
this team do good. I think there's a lot of
480
00:28:45.890 --> 00:28:48.410
new faces. Don't forget that. There's a lot of new
481
00:28:48.450 --> 00:28:51.680
faces on this team. They need to gel. They need
482
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.200
to figure it out. But they do need to clean
483
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.619
up some of this stuff that's kind of was popping
484
00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:00.819
up last year, and it seems to be popping up again.
485
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:06.339
I think the most significant of that is chasing these games,
486
00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:09.059
always being from behind.
487
00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:13.000
It's not good. It's just not good.
488
00:29:13.829 --> 00:29:16.460
They need to jump out on a team and get
489
00:29:16.509 --> 00:29:25.809
a lead and play with some confidence there. Jason O says,
490
00:29:25.849 --> 00:29:27.910
Dylan can't fight anymore. I mean, I don't know who
491
00:29:27.950 --> 00:29:29.500
else on the team is going to drop him right
492
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:34.539
now without Kovacevic in there. So I give Dilly a
493
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.710
lot of props for stepping up and doing that, especially
494
00:29:36.750 --> 00:29:39.809
against McBain, who is a monster. Yeah.
495
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:42.140
Obviously much younger than him.
496
00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:45.059
And so I give, I give Dilley a lot of
497
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.380
props for stepping up there and, you know, trying to
498
00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:51.880
spark the team, but also trying to stand up for.
499
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.930
The team as well. Can we get like Jim McKenzie back?
500
00:29:57.190 --> 00:29:59.609
You know, can we somehow get Jim McKenzie back on
501
00:29:59.630 --> 00:30:00.880
the team for a little bit, you know?
502
00:30:02.450 --> 00:30:03.019
That would be nice.
503
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.000
Or Christoph Oliwa.
504
00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:07.940
Or Christoph Oliwa. Yeah, let's get some of those guys back.
505
00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:19.039
Devil's Heaven, what's up?
506
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.509
Too many left-handed shooters, says Stephen Tartaz. Okay.
507
00:30:23.529 --> 00:30:28.430
Okay. Codex says power play one is just pass, pass, pass, pass, pass,
508
00:30:28.470 --> 00:30:33.809
lose the puck. I mean, I think these are all
509
00:30:33.869 --> 00:30:36.049
fair assessments right now, but we still have to.
510
00:30:36.089 --> 00:30:38.269
Remember Troy Crowder.
511
00:30:38.329 --> 00:30:39.109
Yep, yep, yep.
512
00:30:41.390 --> 00:30:43.630
We got to remember this is only game three. All right.
513
00:30:43.730 --> 00:30:49.490
It's only game three. Let's give them some time. All right.
514
00:30:50.630 --> 00:30:53.589
Like our old buddy Lou used to do. Let's evaluate
515
00:30:53.650 --> 00:30:59.509
after 10 games. And if we're seriously at like eight
516
00:30:59.549 --> 00:31:05.289
out of the first ten games, the opponent scores first,
517
00:31:05.309 --> 00:31:09.220
there's a serious issue. Because the team is just coming
518
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:14.859
out flat then. It's already striking that it's three games
519
00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:19.140
in a row, two of which were at home. You know?
520
00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:21.329
And you don't score the first goal.
521
00:31:23.369 --> 00:31:25.109
But, yeah.
522
00:31:25.130 --> 00:31:25.250
Yeah.
523
00:31:27.029 --> 00:31:31.430
We got to see how all this goes. But rest assured,
524
00:31:31.450 --> 00:31:35.049
it is only game three. We'll see how the rest
525
00:31:35.089 --> 00:31:39.200
of this goes. We got some days off here before
526
00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:45.180
we get another game that is happening on Saturday against.
527
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:51.190
The Vancouver Canucks in early start, 3.30 p.m. Eastern time at.
528
00:31:53.109 --> 00:31:53.710
The Rock.
529
00:31:53.809 --> 00:31:55.450
Yes, another home game.
530
00:31:55.549 --> 00:31:58.680
And if there's If there's a team, well, I mean,
531
00:31:58.700 --> 00:32:02.039
I don't know, DJ Pauly C, Paul Cotter seems to
532
00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:03.859
be lighting up the league all of a sudden with
533
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:05.880
four or five goals in the.
534
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:10.190
First couple games. But four goals, leading the team.
535
00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:12.049
But if there's a team to maybe go out there
536
00:32:12.069 --> 00:32:16.609
and get right with, you know, Vancouver is an option.
537
00:32:17.529 --> 00:32:22.400
So we have a nice early start there. at 2, no.
538
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.599
Sorry, at 2.30, at 3.30 p.m. Eastern on this Saturday.
539
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.299
So a couple days off, clear your heads, relax a little,
540
00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:33.019
and then all of a sudden, we will gather again
541
00:32:33.099 --> 00:32:34.440
on Saturday.
542
00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:37.900
And see how this team does. Sound like a plan there,
543
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.380
Sam Wu?
544
00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:44.089
Yeah, I would wait till the 10, maybe 15 game
545
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.869
mark to see what to do with Sheldon Keefe. I mean,
546
00:32:46.930 --> 00:32:50.250
he's in his third season right now, and he was
547
00:32:50.289 --> 00:32:54.509
not Sonny made his guy. I think Sonny kept him
548
00:32:55.369 --> 00:32:58.289
just so he has, you know, to see what he
549
00:32:58.329 --> 00:33:02.150
could do, but also, you know, Sonny being the new
550
00:33:02.190 --> 00:33:05.720
guy coming in, I think his strategy and his thought
551
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.740
process was, okay, if I bring in my own guy
552
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.819
and the team starts really poorly, then it's my fault
553
00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:16.220
versus if he just kept Keefe in, see what he
554
00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:16.640
could do.
555
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:20.039
But if Keefe can't turn it around, I think definitely.
556
00:33:21.390 --> 00:33:25.119
I think definitely that they have to possibly look at
557
00:33:25.170 --> 00:33:26.119
a coaching change.
558
00:33:26.150 --> 00:33:30.619
Because it's almost like deja vu from last season. Did
559
00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:35.279
they learn their lesson? Obviously not. So, I don't know.
560
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:41.140
They're not playing. They're playing uninspiring hockey right now. And
561
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:46.440
they need to figure it out. Forget about the analytics.
562
00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:48.190
Forget about strategy, all that.
563
00:33:48.769 --> 00:33:49.150
You got to.
564
00:33:50.690 --> 00:33:54.849
You've got to play with a tremendous amount of intensity
565
00:33:54.930 --> 00:33:57.950
coming out of the gate. And I think this nonchalantness
566
00:33:58.609 --> 00:34:02.049
and the lack of attention to details is quite telling
567
00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:05.970
that this is the same team as last year, but
568
00:34:06.230 --> 00:34:10.280
just different personnel. That's just my opinion so far.
569
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:15.699
So far, we're getting the same results. And just want to... Woo!
570
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.869
That's right. Sorry, Lindy. Lots of new guys. Another super chat.
571
00:34:21.510 --> 00:34:25.619
This time coming from our man Keenan. Kodaks is calling
572
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.340
for torts. Keeps presser. He's got no answer. Sad to
573
00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:36.199
watch this, Dubs. And thank you for another super chat.
574
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:40.050
Thank you, Keenan. Coming through.
575
00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:44.269
But we're going to find out what happens.
576
00:34:45.250 --> 00:34:49.699
Probably hopefully get an update on Jonas Siegenthaler. That'll be
577
00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:53.179
pretty big news for this defense to see what we
578
00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:58.460
can do. Or else we might already be in a
579
00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:03.119
little bit of trouble with Kovacevic and Siegenthaler potentially being out.
580
00:35:03.179 --> 00:35:06.699
Hopefully not. Hopefully not. We'll see. But, yeah, I'm going
581
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.059
to have to go watch.
582
00:35:09.949 --> 00:35:13.710
This press conference if Sheldon Keefe is already out of
583
00:35:13.809 --> 00:35:15.889
answers on game three.
584
00:35:16.730 --> 00:35:20.489
That's not a good sign over there. So either way,
585
00:35:21.110 --> 00:35:23.730
we'll be back Saturday afternoon.
586
00:35:23.750 --> 00:35:26.719
A little game day live action, a little Devils after
587
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:30.000
dark action, hopefully talking about the Devils.
588
00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:33.820
Second W of the season.
589
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.860
Let's get right against those Vancouver Canucks. Don't forget, you
590
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.619
get the state of the fan address with our boy
591
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:40.500
Nick Villano.
592
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:42.239
You get a morning woo.
593
00:35:42.260 --> 00:35:45.440
You get woo reports with Sam Woo as well.
594
00:35:46.780 --> 00:35:48.260
To keep you up to date on what's going on
595
00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:52.219
with the team over the course of the week. And then, yeah,
596
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:56.059
Saturday rolls around, and we will be ready to rock
597
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:59.119
and roll once again.
598
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:05.469
So Devils lose 5-3 to the Utah Mammoth. Power play
599
00:36:05.510 --> 00:36:09.969
goals going Utah's way. Some bad calls.
600
00:36:09.710 --> 00:36:14.869
By the officials and lack of urgency by these New
601
00:36:14.909 --> 00:36:19.860
Jersey Devils right now. Get focused, clean it up, and
602
00:36:19.889 --> 00:36:25.050
let's play some good, solid hockey starting this Saturday. And
603
00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:27.369
as Supernova said, is it too early to take their
604
00:36:27.469 --> 00:36:31.449
iPads away? I hope Sheldon Keefe, you know, works these
605
00:36:31.510 --> 00:36:33.750
guys a little bit in practice.
606
00:36:34.110 --> 00:36:37.570
No days off. It's early in the season. You're all
607
00:36:37.630 --> 00:36:40.349
young whippersnappers. Let's go, boys.
608
00:36:44.070 --> 00:36:44.449
Agreed.
609
00:36:44.889 --> 00:36:45.219
Agreed.
610
00:36:45.969 --> 00:36:50.429
And we'll have to regroup for Saturday at American Whiskey. It's, again,
611
00:36:50.489 --> 00:36:56.530
one of these infamous afternoon games, 3.30 p.m. Eastern start
612
00:36:56.889 --> 00:37:00.389
against the Vancouver Canucks. We'll be here at American Whiskey
613
00:37:01.010 --> 00:37:04.099
in the attic. We're not going to be outside because
614
00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:09.440
it's not happening. Unfortunately, some stuff went down today. I'll
615
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.360
talk about it probably tomorrow on the State of the
616
00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:15.079
Fan address. A lot of the details that are going
617
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:21.739
on on Edison Place between Reds and American Whiskey. So
618
00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:23.860
thank you, thank you, thank you to all those tuning
619
00:37:23.969 --> 00:37:28.969
in and getting out of here. Drop the podcast in
620
00:37:29.010 --> 00:37:33.110
about 20 minutes. Yeah, that's it, Scotty.
621
00:37:33.130 --> 00:37:37.170
All right.
622
00:37:37.349 --> 00:37:40.670
But the party's still going on here at American Whiskey.
623
00:37:41.610 --> 00:37:42.349
I'll see you later.
624
00:37:42.369 --> 00:37:44.550
Until next time, let's go Devils.
1
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.399
Hi, this is Chico Resch.
2
00:00:22.859 --> 00:00:25.640
You are listening to the Let's Go Devils podcast on
3
00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:30.339
the Primetime Radio Network. Happy Devils Tuesday. This is Devils
4
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.679
After Dark. Coming to you live, live from American Whiskey.
5
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.579
51 S in place. Across the street from Financial Center.
6
00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:41.420
Next to Championship Plaza. I'm your host, Sam Wu.
7
00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:45.740
Here with Scotty, a Cirrus XM. Liquid Metal.
8
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.200
As you're streaming live on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, X Live,
9
00:00:49.229 --> 00:00:52.859
Twitch Live. And now on Instagram Live on the Let's
10
00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:56.479
Go Devils Network as the Devils drop to the Mammoth
11
00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:57.090
tonight 5-3.
12
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.679
I don't think there's a lot of fans happy.
13
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:04.439
Scotty?
14
00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:08.760
Probably not.
15
00:01:08.819 --> 00:01:12.560
There's some things to talk about here in this game.
16
00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:17.629
That, you know, yeah, is going to make people pretty upset.
17
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:21.000
I can see everyone already piling into the old YouTube chat.
18
00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:25.540
What's up? Nick Lovell from the UK. Selecta.
19
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.019
Dubs. Eddie.
20
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.480
Always something. Asking Sam Wooda. Hold him. Hold him for comfort.
21
00:01:33.670 --> 00:01:34.560
Dorian.
22
00:01:36.849 --> 00:01:37.469
Wimpy.
23
00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:37.829
What's up?
24
00:01:37.950 --> 00:01:43.769
AJ Visco. Woo! Dubs with the super chat already.
25
00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:48.900
What's up, Devils Down Under? Max?
26
00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:52.620
Codex? Stanley?
27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.260
We got everyone piling in there. Chirp away, chirp away
28
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.599
about this game. Welcome to Devils After Dark. Yes, I'm
29
00:01:58.620 --> 00:01:59.319
Scotty along.
30
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:00.200
With Sam Wu.
31
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.859
Devils lose tonight against the Utah Mammoth. Let's do a
32
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.639
quick recap and then get to your reactions of everything
33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.860
that was going down with.
34
00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:17.800
This game, and of course, being that they are playing
35
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.360
the Utah Mammoth, we have to give a quick shout-out
36
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:22.199
to Eddie Van Halen.
37
00:02:22.539 --> 00:02:25.500
Of course, his son, Wolfgang Wolfie's band is.
38
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.360
Mammoth, and today is actually the anniversary we lost old
39
00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:33.620
EVH a few years back. So I love seeing all
40
00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:39.449
the old red, white, and black Frankenstein artwork everywhere for
41
00:02:39.530 --> 00:02:40.509
Eddie Van Halen.
42
00:02:41.009 --> 00:02:42.030
Get me two, Utah!
43
00:02:43.569 --> 00:02:47.349
As in power plays, that's what the Utah Mammoth have been,
44
00:02:48.129 --> 00:02:53.509
you know, rewarding themselves with so far this season. They
45
00:02:53.569 --> 00:03:00.530
are at an unprecedented level of power play power, I
46
00:03:00.569 --> 00:03:05.389
guess you can say. And they have been unstoppable on
47
00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:06.389
said power plays.
48
00:03:07.189 --> 00:03:08.710
And we're going to talk about that as they had
49
00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:11.349
a number of them. Some of them, I don't know
50
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.310
about their officials.
51
00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:15.370
But Jake the Snake back in net. Devils trying to
52
00:03:15.409 --> 00:03:21.379
rebound from that bagel. Six-pack to nothing. Loss against the
53
00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:26.300
Isles on Saturday night. And didn't start out good because,
54
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:31.099
look at that, the Devils are right on the penalty kill.
55
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.360
A few seconds into the game, Utah comes to play.
56
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.699
They are ready to rock and roll from the get-go.
57
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.500
So teams have got to be the same way, even
58
00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:42.219
though it was kind of an accidental high stick there.
59
00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:44.129
By Timo Meier.
60
00:03:44.949 --> 00:03:49.120
Utah, Clayton Keller gets the goal, won $ 1.
61
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.060
57 into this game.
62
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.819
The Devils are down 1-0 with the slap shot drive from.
63
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:56.879
The top of the circle.
64
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.150
14 seconds left in that kill there, but the Devils
65
00:04:01.169 --> 00:04:05.750
give up a PPG to the Utah Mammoth, which everyone
66
00:04:05.789 --> 00:04:10.729
has been doing. because their power play has been unbelievable.
67
00:04:11.030 --> 00:04:13.740
But this is the third game in a row already.
68
00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:17.639
We've only played three games. All three games, we have
69
00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:19.939
given up the first goal, which is something we have
70
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.220
unfortunately seen with this team, them always having to chase.
71
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.139
But the Devils do come back. They get a couple
72
00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:32.100
power plays of their own in the first period, including
73
00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:36.980
a five-on-three that Our man Timo Mayer drew the first penalty,
74
00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:41.029
a high stick, trying to get around whoever that was
75
00:04:41.069 --> 00:04:41.670
from the Mammoth.
76
00:04:41.709 --> 00:04:46.490
That kind of clocked him in the face. And then Evangelista. Evangelista.
77
00:04:46.670 --> 00:04:48.490
I always say I want to say Lista for some reason.
78
00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:51.800
Evangelista draws a hooking call. So you get a five
79
00:04:51.949 --> 00:04:56.019
on three for a buck 20. And it's Evangelista who
80
00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:58.180
gets his first goal as.
81
00:04:58.180 --> 00:04:59.399
A New Jersey Devil.
82
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.259
A PPG power play goal. Five on three. Devil's got
83
00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:08.889
some good puck movement. Jack Hughes eventually snaps a quick
84
00:05:08.949 --> 00:05:11.990
shot towards the net. And not only do you got
85
00:05:12.089 --> 00:05:15.329
Evangelista there, In front there playing the bumper. We got
86
00:05:15.370 --> 00:05:20.060
Nico Heischer also creating the screens. Evangelista deflects the puck
87
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.540
down the opposite way past the Utah goaltender, Flamengo.
88
00:05:28.339 --> 00:05:31.480
And it's all tied up at 1-1 at 12-23 of
89
00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:32.519
the first period.
90
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.970
Two power play goals there for each team in the
91
00:05:36.009 --> 00:05:45.589
first period. 1-1 going into the second, but it doesn't
92
00:05:45.629 --> 00:05:50.269
last long because once again, the Utah, I don't know
93
00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:51.980
why I keep wanting to say Utah Jazz. I mean,
94
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.740
the Mammoth have been in here for quite some time,
95
00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:57.699
but Utah, it does. I know Dano said the same thing.
96
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.079
Utah Jazz just kind of rolls off the tongue there,
97
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.199
but either way, McKenzie Wieger gets his first of the
98
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:09.079
year after the Devils just literally cannot clear the puck
99
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:10.160
out of the zone.
100
00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:11.300
You get a.
101
00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:15.100
Big kick save from Jake Allen coming across, but then
102
00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:19.459
he's down flat on his stomach, and he's got one
103
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.810
skate on the outside of the goal, the other skate's
104
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.589
on the inside of the goal, and he's trying to
105
00:06:23.649 --> 00:06:28.069
squeeze it, and Uyghur's right there at the side.
106
00:06:28.089 --> 00:06:30.310
He gets the puck, and I don't know if he
107
00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:31.569
slid it under or.
108
00:06:31.430 --> 00:06:34.329
If he chipped it over. It looked like he was
109
00:06:34.430 --> 00:06:37.350
going to chip it over, you know, with.
110
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.660
With Jake the Snake down flat on his stomach. And
111
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.839
I think Jake kind of kicked his pad up thinking
112
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.290
the same thing. And then Wigger kind of slid it
113
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.810
right underneath. And now it's like dangling in between Jake
114
00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:54.069
the Snake's legs. He tries to close his skates, you know,
115
00:06:54.269 --> 00:06:56.990
basically on the post of the goal there.
116
00:06:57.449 --> 00:06:59.899
And it ends up kicking the puck into the net.
117
00:07:00.339 --> 00:07:02.319
So a real tough one there for Jake the Snake
118
00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:06.769
because he made a hell of a kick save just
119
00:07:07.069 --> 00:07:11.339
moments before this coming across to stop.
120
00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:13.220
I don't know if it was Uyghur on that. I
121
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.860
don't think it was Uyghur on the first one. He
122
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.980
had the rebound afterwards.
123
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.379
Maybe it was Andrews Lee, actually, because he gets the
124
00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:24.850
primary assist with Sergeyev as well. But Devils aren't done.
125
00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:29.350
You know, that was at $ 1. 42 into the second. At 6.31,
126
00:07:29.350 --> 00:07:33.889
Luke Evangelista gets his second goal of the game.
127
00:07:33.930 --> 00:07:35.769
This time, a nice tip.
128
00:07:36.769 --> 00:07:41.889
After Tebow Meyer going all bulldog there behind the net.
129
00:07:42.509 --> 00:07:45.810
Tracking pucks down, kind of knocking people out of the way.
130
00:07:45.870 --> 00:07:49.009
He just kind of spins over by the boards on
131
00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:52.089
the outside of the faceoff circle, spins and throws the.
132
00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:55.420
Puck at the net. And I don't know how it didn't.
133
00:07:56.089 --> 00:07:59.550
ricochet off of the defenseman's skate in front but it.
134
00:07:59.550 --> 00:08:04.629
Somehow went right by it and luke evangelista is right
135
00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:09.269
there uh to tip it once again and it goes
136
00:08:09.449 --> 00:08:12.300
into the back of the net at 6 31 to
137
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.420
tie things up to.
138
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.839
Two in the second period but.
139
00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:24.459
I don't know the devils keep taking penalties and uh
140
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:31.519
Not good here because, yes, the Utah Mammoth are absolutely deadly,
141
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.919
ferocious on this power play, and they get another power
142
00:08:34.940 --> 00:08:39.019
play goal, this time from Nick Schmaltz, coming from Gunther
143
00:08:39.179 --> 00:08:43.370
and Sergachev again at 12.05. Schmaltz is able to get
144
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.190
to the net and then puts it up high over
145
00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:51.830
Jake's shoulder. I think at that point, Utah, I think...
146
00:08:52.850 --> 00:08:55.950
Donnie said, LaGreca said that they were 8 for 11
147
00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:56.889
on the power play this season.
148
00:08:56.909 --> 00:08:58.490
Someone's going to have to fact check that one.
149
00:08:58.889 --> 00:09:02.789
But it seems like they're just operating at like 100%
150
00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:03.990
because it's like as soon as they get on the
151
00:09:04.009 --> 00:09:05.009
power play, that's it.
152
00:09:05.029 --> 00:09:07.500
It seems like the puck is going in the back
153
00:09:07.509 --> 00:09:08.460
of the net.
154
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.299
And that call was kind of a little bit of
155
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:12.500
a chintzy call there.
156
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:13.779
I don't know.
157
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.039
Timo Meier barely touching the skate of our old friend.
158
00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:21.730
John, don't call me Dan.
159
00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:28.830
Isotoner gloves, Marino laces out Isotoner gloves, Marino. Uh, he
160
00:09:28.850 --> 00:09:32.769
draws the penalty on that one, but that call was pretty,
161
00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:37.610
pretty cheap. Um, but we'll say a hat tip to
162
00:09:37.629 --> 00:09:39.590
John Marino for, for drawing one right there.
163
00:09:39.629 --> 00:09:42.370
But then Utah gets another goal. That's a 1205.
164
00:09:42.370 --> 00:09:44.409
And then at the end of the period, 1903, uh,
165
00:09:45.029 --> 00:09:49.179
Kraus gets his first, um, a tip in right. He
166
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.730
rips the shot from a center, uh, Jake makes a
167
00:09:52.850 --> 00:09:56.730
good shoulder save on and Kraus threw in the front
168
00:09:56.769 --> 00:10:02.110
of the net. He slams the backhand. Rebound home for
169
00:10:02.909 --> 00:10:08.320
the Utah Mammoth. Right after that, actually, scary moment. Sergeyev
170
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:13.039
takes a clearing attempt from his own teammate. Puck to
171
00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:14.759
the back of the head. I don't know if it
172
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.460
hit him in the ear, back.
173
00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:18.440
Of the head. It didn't look great.
174
00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:20.830
You know, he got up and he skated off, but
175
00:10:21.350 --> 00:10:24.690
he did not return for the third period. So never
176
00:10:24.750 --> 00:10:27.529
want to see anything quite like that because that's just
177
00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:31.070
an unfortunate kind of bad, bad play of the puck.
178
00:10:31.809 --> 00:10:34.600
But yeah, his own teammate just trying to clear it
179
00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.620
and shoots it right up into the back of his
180
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.019
head there.
181
00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.679
So hopefully Sergeyev is okay.
182
00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:43.539
We're moving to the third and the Devils get some
183
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.350
bad injury news of their own with Jonas Siegenthaler in
184
00:10:48.370 --> 00:10:52.820
the corner. Takes a shove from Logan Cooley, and his
185
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:56.840
knee just kind of buckles, and it rolls and twists
186
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.399
a little bit. Very awkward looking for Seags, and he
187
00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:05.580
heads right to the bench and down the tunnel to
188
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.570
the locker room and also does not return. So if
189
00:11:09.669 --> 00:11:14.789
anyone heard any updates maybe in the press conference or
190
00:11:14.850 --> 00:11:19.120
anything like that, Please feel free to drop them in
191
00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:19.860
the chat.
192
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:21.620
And we got to find out.
193
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.980
What's going on with Seegs because that's not someone you
194
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.860
want to see have any knee injuries right now, especially
195
00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:34.220
with Kovacevic still, you know, out there recuperating. I know
196
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.139
he's getting closer to a return.
197
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.159
But still not good.
198
00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:45.840
And then McBain put a hit on Chisholm in the corner.
199
00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:51.080
And Brendan Dillon comes over and, okay, they drop the gloves.
200
00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:55.149
I actually think McBain dropped his gloves first. They were talking.
201
00:11:55.889 --> 00:11:58.889
And then Dillon, you know, he drops them too. And Dilly, yeah,
202
00:11:58.909 --> 00:12:00.730
he gets a couple shots in there. McBain gets a
203
00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:01.470
couple shots in there.
204
00:12:01.509 --> 00:12:04.990
Dilly's jersey gets up over his head. The officials step
205
00:12:05.029 --> 00:12:08.610
in there. You know, no worse for weather. But, I mean, like,
206
00:12:08.669 --> 00:12:10.269
it was a good little scrap over there.
207
00:12:11.529 --> 00:12:13.049
Little bit of an edge there to McBain at the
208
00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:15.570
end because the jersey goes up but hey Dilley standing
209
00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:17.549
up for his team you always love to see that
210
00:12:17.970 --> 00:12:21.279
Chisholm taking a a hard hit in the corner we
211
00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:24.639
know McBain is is a really tough kid um.
212
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.860
Yeah somehow they gave Brendan Dillon.
213
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:34.570
A roughing minor as well in that situation which just
214
00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:41.090
gives this dynamic power play unit of Utah another opportunity
215
00:12:41.169 --> 00:12:43.480
I The tripping call was.
216
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:44.919
Like, ooh.
217
00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:49.450
This one, I really just, you know, we have to
218
00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:52.970
get back on our NHL officials' vision plan.
219
00:12:54.629 --> 00:12:56.149
You know, has anyone found out?
220
00:12:57.269 --> 00:13:00.009
Have they been receiving coverage for this season? Because we
221
00:13:00.049 --> 00:13:02.950
know last year, they did not have a vision plan.
222
00:13:04.110 --> 00:13:06.889
They were unable to go to the eye doctor to
223
00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:11.750
get their vision checked. And it seems to be that
224
00:13:11.970 --> 00:13:17.549
similar things are starting to happen already this year. Because
225
00:13:17.570 --> 00:13:19.029
there's going to be one more thing that we're going
226
00:13:19.049 --> 00:13:22.320
to talk about that the officials seem to be looking
227
00:13:22.389 --> 00:13:27.980
directly at, yet there was nothing coming from it. Either way,
228
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:32.740
Brendan Dillon somehow gets an extra roughing, though they both
229
00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:35.240
dropped the gloves basically at the same time. I mean,
230
00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:37.529
I kind of think McMain started to take them off first.
231
00:13:38.950 --> 00:13:42.610
But either way, The Devils somehow or another kept Utah
232
00:13:42.990 --> 00:13:46.929
from getting another power play goal. And I'm telling you,
233
00:13:46.950 --> 00:13:51.429
just by the skin of their teeth, Megadeth countdown to
234
00:13:51.470 --> 00:13:56.529
extinction style over there, okay? I mean, Utah was in
235
00:13:56.549 --> 00:14:00.840
the zone for essentially the entire power play. That PK
236
00:14:00.929 --> 00:14:05.659
unit had to be about a minute 30, minute 40
237
00:14:05.659 --> 00:14:08.340
out on the ice, like in the zone, just going.
238
00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:14.899
Jake the Snake eventually covers up, but man, whoo, that
239
00:14:15.019 --> 00:14:17.730
Utah unit is just deadly.
240
00:14:18.269 --> 00:14:19.330
But then we get to say.
241
00:14:19.169 --> 00:14:25.350
Welcome back to our old friend making his re-debut for
242
00:14:25.370 --> 00:14:28.000
the New Jersey Devils, and that'd be Jesper Boquist. He
243
00:14:28.029 --> 00:14:33.440
gets his first of the year. Welcome back, buddy. Dougie
244
00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:35.659
puts a shot towards the net that gets blocked, and
245
00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:38.350
Boquist able to get to that loose puck. and puts
246
00:14:38.389 --> 00:14:41.909
a nice, pretty backhand home for his first of the season.
247
00:14:41.970 --> 00:14:44.070
Chisholm gets the other assist, so his first.
248
00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:45.100
Point as a double as well.
249
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.960
And yes, I know what you're thinking, Dougie Hamilton, but alas,
250
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:51.259
no football calls during the losses.
251
00:14:51.779 --> 00:14:53.159
That's only during the wins.
252
00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:58.279
But good for Jesper to get that goal in his
253
00:14:58.330 --> 00:15:02.250
first game for the Devils this season. And I'm thinking
254
00:15:02.289 --> 00:15:06.190
we'll probably see a little bit more from Jesper as
255
00:15:06.230 --> 00:15:08.889
the season goes along, wouldn't be surprised to see him
256
00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:12.629
maybe slide in as more of a regular on that
257
00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:16.509
fourth line, even when Connor Brown returns.
258
00:15:17.250 --> 00:15:18.759
We'll see how it all plays out, but either way.
259
00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:26.340
After that, everyone's not favorite center, who was originally from
260
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.139
the Carolina Hurricanes and then the New York Rangers and
261
00:15:30.179 --> 00:15:33.120
now on the Utah Mammoth, Vincent Trocek gets his first
262
00:15:33.210 --> 00:15:38.379
of the year. driving to the net there and being
263
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.830
able to tip one home. He gets his first to
264
00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:46.029
make it 5-3 at 1652 of the third period.
265
00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:52.970
Not feeling good at that point. However, however, with.
266
00:15:52.850 --> 00:16:00.399
A delayed penalty on the board and a six-on-five situation
267
00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:04.799
on the ice, you know, Because the Devils had already
268
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:05.860
pulled Jake the Snake.
269
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.220
There was a mad scramble in front of the net.
270
00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:11.759
And there was a loose puck the entire time. And
271
00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:20.000
there was no whistle blown whatsoever. And eventually Timo Meier
272
00:16:20.649 --> 00:16:23.929
pulls the puck out of the scrum. And he pops
273
00:16:23.990 --> 00:16:24.970
it into the bag of the net.
274
00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:30.279
And I don't know who it was. Was it Keller
275
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:32.620
or Kraus? It was right there. They tried to actually
276
00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:34.200
grab it out from inside of the net.
277
00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:40.399
And you see the official skating in, looking down directly
278
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.299
at the puck.
279
00:16:42.950 --> 00:16:48.029
It's in the net. The Mammoth player is trying to
280
00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:58.169
grab at it to pull it out. Then the whistle blows. Significantly...
281
00:16:58.169 --> 00:16:59.610
well after.
282
00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:02.409
The puck has already gone in the net.
283
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:10.339
More time than would be allowed for, say, a baseball
284
00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.359
ball and strike challenge.
285
00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:17.660
If this was baseball, they would have said you would
286
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.099
have had to have tapped your helmet by now. We're
287
00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:25.400
moving on to the next play. A significant delay in
288
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:26.519
that whistle being blown.
289
00:17:27.809 --> 00:17:29.069
And I get the whole rule of.
290
00:17:29.230 --> 00:17:32.569
Oh, well, we meant to blow the whistle. Well, us officials,
291
00:17:32.589 --> 00:17:36.150
we can't see a thing. So sometimes we can't even
292
00:17:36.210 --> 00:17:40.619
find our whistle to blow it. I mean, that was
293
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
well after the play was over. Well after the play.
294
00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:45.720
And watch the replay.
295
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:52.049
The official literally has his head down looking exactly at
296
00:17:52.109 --> 00:17:52.509
the puck.
297
00:17:54.970 --> 00:17:58.720
If there was intent... To blow the whistle? It should
298
00:17:58.740 --> 00:18:02.059
have happened before that. They were letting it.
299
00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:04.819
Play, and then all of a sudden the puck goes
300
00:18:04.859 --> 00:18:07.720
in the net, Utah tries to grab it out of
301
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.269
the net, and then they blow the whistle.
302
00:18:13.289 --> 00:18:18.269
And somehow they call no goal. Because, oh wait, we
303
00:18:18.369 --> 00:18:21.869
meant to blow our little whistle. We were just unable
304
00:18:21.890 --> 00:18:22.569
to find it.
305
00:18:22.589 --> 00:18:23.630
Oh, what do you know?
306
00:18:23.710 --> 00:18:26.410
It's right here on my finger. They gave us a
307
00:18:26.430 --> 00:18:28.579
little ring, so it just stays right there.
308
00:18:29.490 --> 00:18:29.779
Wow.
309
00:18:30.730 --> 00:18:37.079
What do you know? What the hell was that? I'm
310
00:18:37.099 --> 00:18:40.279
not sure how that wasn't a goal. I really don't
311
00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:40.519
get it.
312
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.480
Because the whistle, like I said, significantly after the fact.
313
00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:54.089
But somehow or another, no goal. Um, so the devil's
314
00:18:54.130 --> 00:18:56.329
going to the power play. They do not score. And
315
00:18:56.349 --> 00:19:00.690
this game ends as a five, three loss to the
316
00:19:00.910 --> 00:19:02.210
Utah mammoth.
317
00:19:02.309 --> 00:19:02.750
All right.
318
00:19:02.789 --> 00:19:07.170
Shots on goal over here, uh, for the devils, a
319
00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:11.130
total of, uh, 33, 11, 10, 12, uh, for the
320
00:19:11.170 --> 00:19:15.990
mammoth eight, 14, nine for a total of 31 face-offs. Uh,
321
00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:18.009
Utah had the slight advantage, 36 wins. The devil's 34, uh,
322
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.940
I mean, here's the big one, power plays. Utah, two
323
00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:26.210
for four. The Devils, one for five. Hits, the Devils
324
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.549
have not been very physical at all so far. 24
325
00:19:29.549 --> 00:19:34.710
hits to the Devils, 10. Utah, 21 block shots to
326
00:19:34.730 --> 00:19:37.089
the Devils, 14.
327
00:19:37.089 --> 00:19:39.890
Giveaways, the Devils had 22 giveaways.
328
00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:43.609
Utah had 24, but the Devils, 22 giveaways. That is
329
00:19:43.650 --> 00:19:49.109
just way, way too much against a team like Utah
330
00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:49.990
Who has it?
331
00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:57.079
Significantly improved in the offseason. So once again.
332
00:19:57.099 --> 00:20:00.569
I don't know how many of these you can put
333
00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:05.490
on Jake the Snake, but five goals here, six goals
334
00:20:05.549 --> 00:20:09.210
in the last game for Dawes. Devils are now 1-2
335
00:20:09.390 --> 00:20:13.950
on the season. Still seeing a lot of growing pains, which,
336
00:20:14.150 --> 00:20:17.369
you know, can be expected with all the new faces,
337
00:20:18.309 --> 00:20:21.329
some of the new, you know, coaching system that, you know,
338
00:20:21.369 --> 00:20:24.599
some of these new guys are playing in. But I
339
00:20:24.630 --> 00:20:27.799
think a big one, too, is this defense. We really
340
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.259
have to find out what's up with Siegenthaler. And, you know,
341
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:36.779
that last Utah goal, Luke Hughes, Luke, you boy. He
342
00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:43.259
was trying to force a puck through center ice to Jack,
343
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:48.240
and it got picked off. And Trocek was able, I mean,
344
00:20:48.329 --> 00:20:51.430
no one, there's only maybe a handful of guys that
345
00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:54.670
should be able to outreach Luke Hughes in this league.
346
00:20:54.750 --> 00:20:57.470
And Vincent Trocek is not one of them. He outworked
347
00:20:58.069 --> 00:21:01.990
Luke Hughes to the front of that net and was
348
00:21:02.069 --> 00:21:03.170
able to put that.
349
00:21:03.069 --> 00:21:10.759
Puck home to seal the deal. seven giveaways between Chisholm
350
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.900
and Luke Hughes. Four for Chisholm, three for Luke. Got
351
00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:19.910
to clean that up. And I think they will. I
352
00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:22.269
think it's just kind of beginning of the season.
353
00:21:22.309 --> 00:21:25.890
Very quick preseason and everything like that. A little bit
354
00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:30.569
different this year. But right now, these are some things
355
00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:33.470
that are sticking out for this team. Can they clean
356
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:33.759
it up?
357
00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.460
Yes. Will they?
358
00:21:37.190 --> 00:21:39.630
I hope so. Let's hear what you think about it,
359
00:21:39.650 --> 00:21:41.670
all right? And let's bring in the man of the hour,
360
00:21:41.750 --> 00:21:45.950
the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Sam,
361
00:21:46.069 --> 00:21:49.029
by God, woo. And hear what you have to say.
362
00:21:49.109 --> 00:21:52.190
YouTube chat, chirp it up, chirp it up, chirp it up.
363
00:21:54.950 --> 00:21:56.210
What's going on there, Sam?
364
00:21:59.450 --> 00:22:03.299
Some say that the Devils didn't play badly. I thought
365
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.779
they were bad tonight. They had no heart. They had
366
00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:10.380
no energy at times. But when they played with urgency,
367
00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:14.500
they looked like a different team. And towards the end there,
368
00:22:14.619 --> 00:22:17.779
that Timo Meier, I guess, non-goal, you know, it was
369
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.720
a little too late at that point to play with
370
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:21.539
that kind of fire.
371
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:25.660
I don't know, Scotty. It's just like it seems like
372
00:22:26.089 --> 00:22:27.140
same old devils.
373
00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:31.069
Tonight. At least they scored goals.
374
00:22:31.289 --> 00:22:35.950
At least they scored goals. But, you know. It's a
375
00:22:35.970 --> 00:22:36.750
little concerning.
376
00:22:40.809 --> 00:22:43.930
I think so as well. I think there's a lot
377
00:22:43.970 --> 00:22:47.990
of just things that are, you know, popping up again.
378
00:22:48.009 --> 00:22:50.819
And who was it that said this? I got to
379
00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:58.220
go back up here. Robert Isaacson, shocker. Cue that gif.
380
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.740
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Well, not that shocked.
381
00:23:02.710 --> 00:23:05.259
Devils are down 1-0 two minutes into the game.
382
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:07.599
Never, never heard of that thing happening before.
383
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.400
Three games.
384
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.339
Three times we're chasing the lead.
385
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:20.240
Again, it's early in the season. Fire Sutter. Fire Johnny Mack.
386
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.099
Oh, boy. Fire DeBoer.
387
00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:24.819
Oh, geez.
388
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:26.759
Eric.
389
00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:30.690
Eric. Eric Gob over here. My concern is honestly in
390
00:23:30.710 --> 00:23:32.759
the defensive zone. It looks like they don't know where
391
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.259
to go.
392
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.819
There is so much doubt in the defensive zone that
393
00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:38.039
they get beat so many.
394
00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:40.339
Pucks in front of their own net.
395
00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:41.480
Yeah, I agree.
396
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:43.349
Jacob Schmo, love Timo's game.
397
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:48.410
I thought Timo and Evangelista had the best games out
398
00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:53.450
of the forwards. Both were highly noticeable out there on
399
00:23:53.490 --> 00:23:56.829
the ice. Evangelista almost got a hat trick. Forgot to
400
00:23:56.869 --> 00:24:00.750
mention that. In that scrum, Evangelista tipped the puck that
401
00:24:00.769 --> 00:24:03.650
went off the post. That's what started that whole scrum
402
00:24:03.690 --> 00:24:06.329
in front of the net, which Timo Meier did score,
403
00:24:06.410 --> 00:24:09.119
but the officials decided to say, oh, no, we meant
404
00:24:09.190 --> 00:24:10.640
to blow our whistle.
405
00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:13.180
Oh, I'm sorry.
406
00:24:16.099 --> 00:24:19.880
Stephen Tardaz says the Hughes line, minus two, five on five.
407
00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:23.619
Manta looks slow. Yeah.
408
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.549
Yeah.
409
00:24:25.910 --> 00:24:27.849
There was a lot of line switching up there in
410
00:24:27.869 --> 00:24:29.769
the third period. Codex, you're right.
411
00:24:29.809 --> 00:24:36.740
Gritz was up with Jack and Jesper. I know everyone
412
00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:38.759
gets on me for this one, but I'm telling you,
413
00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:42.779
once Connor Brown comes back, he has got the speed
414
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:47.099
to play with Jack Hughes and Jesper Brad and looked very,
415
00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:49.980
very good with them at the end of the year.
416
00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:55.869
Really need a positive update on old Connor Brown. Even
417
00:24:55.930 --> 00:24:58.630
if he doesn't stay there the whole entire time, I
418
00:24:58.710 --> 00:25:03.009
think it would do good for the team, for Jack
419
00:25:03.410 --> 00:25:17.259
and Jesper to get them going. Selecta, Manta looks slow.
420
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.619
Supernova says, everyone's going to say to fire Keefe.
421
00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:20.200
Not the answer.
422
00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:32.460
This team is not built for a tough coach, unfortunately. So, yeah.
423
00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:34.000
We still don't have a sniper.
424
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.099
Said World's Worst Gamer.
425
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.019
Thanks to Holtz.
426
00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:44.740
Yes. Thanks, Holtzy, for not panning out.
427
00:25:48.589 --> 00:25:51.170
The defense is bad. Stanley says, aside from Luke, they
428
00:25:51.190 --> 00:25:52.769
cannot move the puck well enough.
429
00:25:53.250 --> 00:25:56.809
I didn't think Dougie was that bad with everything today.
430
00:25:58.289 --> 00:26:03.789
I thought he was playing pretty well. A little bit
431
00:26:03.849 --> 00:26:05.390
lack of passion right now.
432
00:26:06.049 --> 00:26:08.410
Double down under is getting on Sheldon Keefe. We need
433
00:26:08.430 --> 00:26:14.480
a coach with some balls and integrity. Like Torts or Cassidy. Supernova,
434
00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:16.559
same old stuff, playing from behind the entire game.
435
00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:23.579
Yep. And it's another thing, too, where.
436
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:28.329
They started off slow, which is something we had seen
437
00:26:28.869 --> 00:26:33.869
many times last year as well. Like, Utah scored twice in, like,
438
00:26:33.890 --> 00:26:36.150
the first two minutes of the first and second period.
439
00:26:37.210 --> 00:26:38.990
And then they pitched one in right at the end
440
00:26:39.089 --> 00:26:41.589
as well. It was, like, about 19.03, so under a
441
00:26:41.630 --> 00:26:45.250
minute left. I mean, that's three goals in that time
442
00:26:45.289 --> 00:26:48.470
that you really, really don't want to give one up.
443
00:26:48.509 --> 00:26:50.069
And a big shout to our man Frank the Tank,
444
00:26:50.089 --> 00:26:52.930
who just walked behind Sam Wu there, if you saw
445
00:26:52.990 --> 00:26:54.130
him in the white shirt.
446
00:26:54.970 --> 00:26:57.589
And Ponytail. He is the man who is.
447
00:26:57.589 --> 00:27:01.170
Trying to make the magic happen for us and you
448
00:27:01.250 --> 00:27:07.200
Devils fans to be outside and having a good time.
449
00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:11.839
We'll discuss that on another podcast. But let me tell you,
450
00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:15.960
we know there are some issues going on right now
451
00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:17.220
that is out of our control.
452
00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:19.950
But let me tell you, Frank the Tank is working.
453
00:27:20.150 --> 00:27:23.880
Meticulously hard behind the scenes to because he wants us
454
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.839
to be able to go outside and have these fun
455
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:28.799
events pre-game and post-game as well.
456
00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:31.880
So big shout-out to Frank the Tank for always.
457
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.630
Hooking us up. And also Kevin. Also Kevin.
458
00:27:35.069 --> 00:27:39.410
I actually got the behind-the-scenes details, what's going on at
459
00:27:39.509 --> 00:27:40.069
Edison Place.
460
00:27:40.130 --> 00:27:45.069
It's absolutely disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. That's all I have to say.
461
00:27:45.170 --> 00:27:49.869
Yeah, so we just want to thank them for doing
462
00:27:49.990 --> 00:27:52.410
everything they can, giving us a home.
463
00:27:52.970 --> 00:27:55.490
for the Let's Go Devils podcast and Game Day Live
464
00:27:55.509 --> 00:27:56.670
and Devils After Dark.
465
00:27:57.630 --> 00:28:00.539
So if you're going to a game, as always, there's
466
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.799
our man, there's our man. Stop by American Whiskey and
467
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.539
say hello. Tell them Scotty or Sam or Vinny sent
468
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.019
you down there and have yourself a good time at
469
00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:15.089
American Whiskey. Wimpy says the Flyers made us look good,
470
00:28:15.150 --> 00:28:16.410
yet we barely beat them.
471
00:28:16.890 --> 00:28:18.970
Let's evaluate. It isn't pretty.
472
00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:19.430
Okay.
473
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.140
Uh-oh, the Fraggle. I'm not going to get into that Fraggle.
474
00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:33.509
I said I would contemplate that, and there wasn't a
475
00:28:33.529 --> 00:28:35.049
good reaction, so I'm not even going to bring that
476
00:28:35.109 --> 00:28:35.630
up anymore.
477
00:28:36.069 --> 00:28:39.349
I think we're all just overreacting a little bit right now.
478
00:28:40.250 --> 00:28:42.930
We all have very high expectations. We want to see
479
00:28:42.950 --> 00:28:45.829
this team do good. I think there's a lot of
480
00:28:45.890 --> 00:28:48.410
new faces. Don't forget that. There's a lot of new
481
00:28:48.450 --> 00:28:51.680
faces on this team. They need to gel. They need
482
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.200
to figure it out. But they do need to clean
483
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:58.619
up some of this stuff that's kind of was popping
484
00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:00.819
up last year, and it seems to be popping up again.
485
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:06.339
I think the most significant of that is chasing these games,
486
00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:09.059
always being from behind.
487
00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:13.000
It's not good. It's just not good.
488
00:29:13.829 --> 00:29:16.460
They need to jump out on a team and get
489
00:29:16.509 --> 00:29:25.809
a lead and play with some confidence there. Jason O says,
490
00:29:25.849 --> 00:29:27.910
Dylan can't fight anymore. I mean, I don't know who
491
00:29:27.950 --> 00:29:29.500
else on the team is going to drop him right
492
00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:34.539
now without Kovacevic in there. So I give Dilly a
493
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.710
lot of props for stepping up and doing that, especially
494
00:29:36.750 --> 00:29:39.809
against McBain, who is a monster. Yeah.
495
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:42.140
Obviously much younger than him.
496
00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:45.059
And so I give, I give Dilley a lot of
497
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.380
props for stepping up there and, you know, trying to
498
00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:51.880
spark the team, but also trying to stand up for.
499
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.930
The team as well. Can we get like Jim McKenzie back?
500
00:29:57.190 --> 00:29:59.609
You know, can we somehow get Jim McKenzie back on
501
00:29:59.630 --> 00:30:00.880
the team for a little bit, you know?
502
00:30:02.450 --> 00:30:03.019
That would be nice.
503
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.000
Or Christoph Oliwa.
504
00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:07.940
Or Christoph Oliwa. Yeah, let's get some of those guys back.
505
00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:19.039
Devil's Heaven, what's up?
506
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.509
Too many left-handed shooters, says Stephen Tartaz. Okay.
507
00:30:23.529 --> 00:30:28.430
Okay. Codex says power play one is just pass, pass, pass, pass, pass,
508
00:30:28.470 --> 00:30:33.809
lose the puck. I mean, I think these are all
509
00:30:33.869 --> 00:30:36.049
fair assessments right now, but we still have to.
510
00:30:36.089 --> 00:30:38.269
Remember Troy Crowder.
511
00:30:38.329 --> 00:30:39.109
Yep, yep, yep.
512
00:30:41.390 --> 00:30:43.630
We got to remember this is only game three. All right.
513
00:30:43.730 --> 00:30:49.490
It's only game three. Let's give them some time. All right.
514
00:30:50.630 --> 00:30:53.589
Like our old buddy Lou used to do. Let's evaluate
515
00:30:53.650 --> 00:30:59.509
after 10 games. And if we're seriously at like eight
516
00:30:59.549 --> 00:31:05.289
out of the first ten games, the opponent scores first,
517
00:31:05.309 --> 00:31:09.220
there's a serious issue. Because the team is just coming
518
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:14.859
out flat then. It's already striking that it's three games
519
00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:19.140
in a row, two of which were at home. You know?
520
00:31:20.099 --> 00:31:21.329
And you don't score the first goal.
521
00:31:23.369 --> 00:31:25.109
But, yeah.
522
00:31:25.130 --> 00:31:25.250
Yeah.
523
00:31:27.029 --> 00:31:31.430
We got to see how all this goes. But rest assured,
524
00:31:31.450 --> 00:31:35.049
it is only game three. We'll see how the rest
525
00:31:35.089 --> 00:31:39.200
of this goes. We got some days off here before
526
00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:45.180
we get another game that is happening on Saturday against.
527
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:51.190
The Vancouver Canucks in early start, 3.30 p.m. Eastern time at.
528
00:31:53.109 --> 00:31:53.710
The Rock.
529
00:31:53.809 --> 00:31:55.450
Yes, another home game.
530
00:31:55.549 --> 00:31:58.680
And if there's If there's a team, well, I mean,
531
00:31:58.700 --> 00:32:02.039
I don't know, DJ Pauly C, Paul Cotter seems to
532
00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:03.859
be lighting up the league all of a sudden with
533
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:05.880
four or five goals in the.
534
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:10.190
First couple games. But four goals, leading the team.
535
00:32:10.490 --> 00:32:12.049
But if there's a team to maybe go out there
536
00:32:12.069 --> 00:32:16.609
and get right with, you know, Vancouver is an option.
537
00:32:17.529 --> 00:32:22.400
So we have a nice early start there. at 2, no.
538
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.599
Sorry, at 2.30, at 3.30 p.m. Eastern on this Saturday.
539
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:30.299
So a couple days off, clear your heads, relax a little,
540
00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:33.019
and then all of a sudden, we will gather again
541
00:32:33.099 --> 00:32:34.440
on Saturday.
542
00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:37.900
And see how this team does. Sound like a plan there,
543
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.380
Sam Wu?
544
00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:44.089
Yeah, I would wait till the 10, maybe 15 game
545
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.869
mark to see what to do with Sheldon Keefe. I mean,
546
00:32:46.930 --> 00:32:50.250
he's in his third season right now, and he was
547
00:32:50.289 --> 00:32:54.509
not Sonny made his guy. I think Sonny kept him
548
00:32:55.369 --> 00:32:58.289
just so he has, you know, to see what he
549
00:32:58.329 --> 00:33:02.150
could do, but also, you know, Sonny being the new
550
00:33:02.190 --> 00:33:05.720
guy coming in, I think his strategy and his thought
551
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.740
process was, okay, if I bring in my own guy
552
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.819
and the team starts really poorly, then it's my fault
553
00:33:13.339 --> 00:33:16.220
versus if he just kept Keefe in, see what he
554
00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:16.640
could do.
555
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:20.039
But if Keefe can't turn it around, I think definitely.
556
00:33:21.390 --> 00:33:25.119
I think definitely that they have to possibly look at
557
00:33:25.170 --> 00:33:26.119
a coaching change.
558
00:33:26.150 --> 00:33:30.619
Because it's almost like deja vu from last season. Did
559
00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:35.279
they learn their lesson? Obviously not. So, I don't know.
560
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:41.140
They're not playing. They're playing uninspiring hockey right now. And
561
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:46.440
they need to figure it out. Forget about the analytics.
562
00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:48.190
Forget about strategy, all that.
563
00:33:48.769 --> 00:33:49.150
You got to.
564
00:33:50.690 --> 00:33:54.849
You've got to play with a tremendous amount of intensity
565
00:33:54.930 --> 00:33:57.950
coming out of the gate. And I think this nonchalantness
566
00:33:58.609 --> 00:34:02.049
and the lack of attention to details is quite telling
567
00:34:02.750 --> 00:34:05.970
that this is the same team as last year, but
568
00:34:06.230 --> 00:34:10.280
just different personnel. That's just my opinion so far.
569
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:15.699
So far, we're getting the same results. And just want to... Woo!
570
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.869
That's right. Sorry, Lindy. Lots of new guys. Another super chat.
571
00:34:21.510 --> 00:34:25.619
This time coming from our man Keenan. Kodaks is calling
572
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.340
for torts. Keeps presser. He's got no answer. Sad to
573
00:34:30.380 --> 00:34:36.199
watch this, Dubs. And thank you for another super chat.
574
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:40.050
Thank you, Keenan. Coming through.
575
00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:44.269
But we're going to find out what happens.
576
00:34:45.250 --> 00:34:49.699
Probably hopefully get an update on Jonas Siegenthaler. That'll be
577
00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:53.179
pretty big news for this defense to see what we
578
00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:58.460
can do. Or else we might already be in a
579
00:34:58.500 --> 00:35:03.119
little bit of trouble with Kovacevic and Siegenthaler potentially being out.
580
00:35:03.179 --> 00:35:06.699
Hopefully not. Hopefully not. We'll see. But, yeah, I'm going
581
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.059
to have to go watch.
582
00:35:09.949 --> 00:35:13.710
This press conference if Sheldon Keefe is already out of
583
00:35:13.809 --> 00:35:15.889
answers on game three.
584
00:35:16.730 --> 00:35:20.489
That's not a good sign over there. So either way,
585
00:35:21.110 --> 00:35:23.730
we'll be back Saturday afternoon.
586
00:35:23.750 --> 00:35:26.719
A little game day live action, a little Devils after
587
00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:30.000
dark action, hopefully talking about the Devils.
588
00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:33.820
Second W of the season.
589
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.860
Let's get right against those Vancouver Canucks. Don't forget, you
590
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:39.619
get the state of the fan address with our boy
591
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:40.500
Nick Villano.
592
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:42.239
You get a morning woo.
593
00:35:42.260 --> 00:35:45.440
You get woo reports with Sam Woo as well.
594
00:35:46.780 --> 00:35:48.260
To keep you up to date on what's going on
595
00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:52.219
with the team over the course of the week. And then, yeah,
596
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:56.059
Saturday rolls around, and we will be ready to rock
597
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:59.119
and roll once again.
598
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:05.469
So Devils lose 5-3 to the Utah Mammoth. Power play
599
00:36:05.510 --> 00:36:09.969
goals going Utah's way. Some bad calls.
600
00:36:09.710 --> 00:36:14.869
By the officials and lack of urgency by these New
601
00:36:14.909 --> 00:36:19.860
Jersey Devils right now. Get focused, clean it up, and
602
00:36:19.889 --> 00:36:25.050
let's play some good, solid hockey starting this Saturday. And
603
00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:27.369
as Supernova said, is it too early to take their
604
00:36:27.469 --> 00:36:31.449
iPads away? I hope Sheldon Keefe, you know, works these
605
00:36:31.510 --> 00:36:33.750
guys a little bit in practice.
606
00:36:34.110 --> 00:36:37.570
No days off. It's early in the season. You're all
607
00:36:37.630 --> 00:36:40.349
young whippersnappers. Let's go, boys.
608
00:36:44.070 --> 00:36:44.449
Agreed.
609
00:36:44.889 --> 00:36:45.219
Agreed.
610
00:36:45.969 --> 00:36:50.429
And we'll have to regroup for Saturday at American Whiskey. It's, again,
611
00:36:50.489 --> 00:36:56.530
one of these infamous afternoon games, 3.30 p.m. Eastern start
612
00:36:56.889 --> 00:37:00.389
against the Vancouver Canucks. We'll be here at American Whiskey
613
00:37:01.010 --> 00:37:04.099
in the attic. We're not going to be outside because
614
00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:09.440
it's not happening. Unfortunately, some stuff went down today. I'll
615
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.360
talk about it probably tomorrow on the State of the
616
00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:15.079
Fan address. A lot of the details that are going
617
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:21.739
on on Edison Place between Reds and American Whiskey. So
618
00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:23.860
thank you, thank you, thank you to all those tuning
619
00:37:23.969 --> 00:37:28.969
in and getting out of here. Drop the podcast in
620
00:37:29.010 --> 00:37:33.110
about 20 minutes. Yeah, that's it, Scotty.
621
00:37:33.130 --> 00:37:37.170
All right.
622
00:37:37.349 --> 00:37:40.670
But the party's still going on here at American Whiskey.
623
00:37:41.610 --> 00:37:42.349
I'll see you later.
624
00:37:42.369 --> 00:37:44.550
Until next time, let's go Devils.
