Speaker 1 (00:17):
Happy Beat Devil Sunday. This is the Let's Go Devils Podcast,
Season eight, Episode thirty two. Stream it live on Facebook Live,
YouTube Live, x Live, and Twitch on the Let's Go
Devil's Network. Come me live live from the Prime Time
Radio Studios inside the Bunker in an undisclosed location. Beautiful

(00:37):
New journey.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
From the Mountain View Cross Continent to the Michael J.
Fox Studios in Beverly Hills, California. It's Scotti a syrusxem
Liquid Metal.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Tonight's title show Me the Kwan. I watched Jerry Maguire tonight,
so that's why that title. Show me the on Love Money.
Where are you Luke Hu's where's your eight year contract?

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah? The the weight continues. Yeah, so I lots of
things could be holding up the contract situation. It could
be just everybody's away. Maybe everybody's doing their own thing
and it's like, yeah, we'll get it when we get it.
Maybe they're just not in a hurry on their side.
Either way, I know it drives Devil's fans crazy because
there's a lot of us that are like, well, that's

(01:30):
the move that needs to be done in order to
figure out what the heck we're doing for the rest
of the off season. But maybe they're just not in
a big hurry to do it, and that's it and
we just sit here and wait.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Well, but I think also, you know, we've talked about
this like a jillion times already. You got to figure
out what the hell you're doing with Palot and Hamilton,
Nico Dawes We've we've talked about as well, May becoming
an interesting trade chip, and also Dawson Mercer who is
we've heard his name bounce around there. But obviously the

(02:05):
two big fish there are Hamilton and Plot. And with
the limited amount of cap space, yeah, the Devils could
go ahead and sign Luke and then be over the cap.
But I think FITZI wants to try and take care
of this this stuff all at once and not be
kind of hamstrung with you know, being then you're forced

(02:26):
to make this move one way or another, which puts
you out of disadvantage. So I think that's what the
hold up is. I know everyone's gonna be mad, and
everyone's gonna be upset and want everyone wants Luke signed.
I get it, I get it. We all want Luke signed,
and it will happen but I think that's what the
hold up is that friggin it's not even Dougie. I

(02:51):
really think it's that friggin six million dollars going a plot.
It's such an overpay. And you know, we said it
from the beginning that it seemed like a lot. It
seemed like he was getting paid for everything he did
in Tampa Bay and might not be getting paid for
the stuff that he does in New Jersey. But I
really think that's the thing that's kind of holding everything

(03:14):
up is and you want another winger as well. I
see a lot of people out there, well.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Top six, top six, nonetheless top six, there's not even
like not even like the middle of the road guy.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
We need top six, you know, yeah, salary cat friendly
top six wingers. No, those are really you know, there's
apparently in the old NHL. Yeah, but it's it's really
they got to figure out what's going on with plot.
We we've talked about it before with Covid Savage going
to be out, you know, a couple of months there

(03:49):
at the beginning of the seaton, the beginning of the season.
I don't think Dougie gets moved just yet, unless it's
for like Quinn Hughes or something. But I think Pilot
would be the one that they'd be trying to shop
the most and see if they can get that that
six million back. And yeah, I mean, we'll see what
happens with it. I mean it's gonna be a little

(04:10):
bit of a drama here. But I don't think Fitzi
is just sitting around doing nothing. You know. I think
he's working his way and trying to make some deals.
And we know that Tom fazchreal' likes to work from
the power from the powerchair, from the power play, we
should say, you know, it's no fun trying to make

(04:33):
trades when the other teams know that you have to
do something, because then you're at the disadvantage there. So well,
he's just not trying to box himself into a corner,
that's all. No.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
And I said this last week, You're not the only
team that's quiet right now. You know, the entire league
is quite right now. You know, this is usually that
lull in the summer after free agency and you know,
the draft and after all that stuff kind of dies down,
like there there's always the inevitable like quiet time. And

(05:09):
it's not just the seam it's like it's across the board.
And one of the things that drives me absolutely crazy
is like when you're reading you know, what people are
posting online and they're like, this is good, but you know,
this is this, and this is that, the fitz Trail's
not doing his job and this, it's like, yeah, it's
it's because as a fan you get frustrated because you're like,
if I see it, I see a need that needs
to be fixed, just go and fix it. But obviously

(05:30):
it's not that easy. Like you know, in a perfect world, yeah,
you'd be like, all right, yeah, we'll cut a lot,
we'll eat you know, a good portion of his contract,
will pay it out for X amount of years, but
we'll get about you know, four million back in cap space.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
And then we'll take Dougie's contract and we'll ship them
off somewhere and we'll we'll save that nine million and
then we'll be able to bring Luke in at like
seven point five. And you know, all that stuff is great,
and it all works inside of a vacuum, like everything
works perfectly. You know, you can go on your NHL
twenty five and try and do some of those things,
and even that will tell you it's not gonna work.

(06:07):
Everything takes time, you know. Sometimes the video game world.
Sometimes the video game world is like it rejects a
trade and you're like, what do you mean you won't
take like Andre Pilot straight up Jagon for Quinn Hughes,
Like I don't understand that I threw in a seventh
round pick, Like that was wrong with you.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Vancouver was only eating half of Quinn Hughes's salary in
that trade.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, and taking yeah exactly. But I mean, like realistically,
and I know there's a lot of people, like last
week we're talking about like you know, Fitzderial's a bad
GM and this that and the other thing. He hasn't
done anything good. Sometimes we overlook the good because the
bad could be a little bit more glaring. You also

(06:55):
have to remember when he brought palat in, like that
was a big fish. At the time, it was, that
was a big, big deal, Like was excited there was
I think he was the top of that free agent
class as a forward, or towards the top of that class.
I'd have to go back and take a look. And
maybe that's just bias, like looking at it from a

(07:17):
distance and being like Oh man. It was a great
get at the time. Do we all think it was
going to age the way it did? Not? Really?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
But yeah, I mean, you know, obviously there's gonna be
the captain hindsight with the twenty twenty, but I mean, yeah,
when we brought him in, and I know Sam talked
about this a lot, the whole idea was like, hey,
this is going to be a perennial playoff team, and
now you have someone who's been there, done that and
won it all who can show this young team how

(07:47):
to get it done in the playoffs. And that was
really I think the you know, the basis for bringing
palt in on that sort of contract. I mean, it
seemed like an overpaid from the beginning, six million year,
but that was the idea is we were paying it
was we were paying for that experience and for him

(08:08):
to be that that kind of you know, that that
that mentor for the Nicoheschers and the Jack Hugheses, and
it showed them how to get it done when it
comes to the playoffs. Now, obviously you can never predict
how things are gonna go. A lot got injured, you know,
obviously his game has slowed down a lot but I

(08:29):
wouldn't say that, you know, he goes out there and
he's just phoned it in. I I would say that
he goes out there and he hustles and he plays hard.
You know, it may not be to the quality that
it was in Tampa Bay. That happens to everybody, unfortunately
when father time comes knocking. But you know, it's a

(08:51):
it's a tough one and you know, unfortunately he hasn't
had you know, the best run here with the Devils,
and that's you know, part of the reason why this
sort of trade perspectives, you know, or prospects really haven't
come to fruition because he's not he doesn't have an
high value at the moment.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
And let's be real, dude, when he was in Tampa Bay,
Yeah he was younger, but also look at the team
that he was playing on. Those Tampa Bay teams are
a real you know what I mean, Like, yeah, you
were gonna get this dude that like you're gonna overpay
for it. Just like if if Sam Bennett didn't re
sign with the Panthers this year one, if not the Devils,

(09:30):
another team would have overpaid him by at least a
million or two than what he got with the Panthers,
there would have been no doubt in my mind that
he would have ended up getting like some insanely big contract.
And you know what, he won the con Smites. You
know what, he was an absolute monster in the playoffs.
He probably deserves every penny of it. But is that

(09:51):
contract gonna age out? Well, I don't know. Time will tell.
Like you said a.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Lot of these times, like probably better than that former
Boston Bruin that they resign into a ridiculous deal.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
But hey, to each their own, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
What's what's he signed to?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
He's like fifty two or something.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Something like that. Yeah, I mean, Marshy, look, he still
looks like it has got it out there, you know
what I mean, Like he doesn't have to be he
doesn't have to be the end all be all two
and I think it's that's worth six year deal. I
don't know if it's six or five. I think it
might be five. Either way, it's a he would take
him to like, yeah about our age when he's done.

(10:30):
And let me tell you, at this age, at this age,
I make sounds that I didn't know where possible. When
you sit down, you're like you're like, oh that that
that just comes out. Now, that's not like me trying
to be funny, Like that's just you stand up, You're like, you.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Know, just it sounds.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Is that what you're exactly?

Speaker 4 (10:51):
When Yager looks at a contract and goes, you know,
that's that's when you know that might be a little
bit of a reach.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
You know, it might be a little bit of a
but then you never know who knows that dude is
he listened. He keeps himself in ridiculous shape and he's
still he's still producing. So for as long as he's producing,
they can get one more or two more runs out
of him, then that's really what you're going for. You're
overpaying for that. What we overpaid for is exactly what
you said. It was the leadership, it was the experience.

(11:18):
It was the when we get to the playoffs. This
is the intangibles that he can bring to the table
that are gonna be good for this team. Yes, it
was bringing a name, a name from a Stanley Cup championship.
You know, a team that was building a dynasty at
the time in Tampa Bay. You're bringing a piece of
that into your organization. Yeah, of course they're gonna overpay
for that kind of stuff. And this isn't the first

(11:40):
time either. And the thing that people kind of lose
sight of is you look, you could literally look at
every free agency class and he could be like, that
guy's gonna get overpaid, that guy's gonna get overpaid. That
guys definitely get it, get it overpaid. I mean, look
at Mitch Marner, right, it was Mitch Marner worth twelve
million a year for eight years, twelve million. He's damn good.

(12:04):
He's really good. He's really good. Also doesn't show up
in the playoffs, so you know, it's it's six of
six of one and half a dozen the other. Right, Like,
there's sometimes it pans out. Sometimes you get you get
guys that you sign and you're like, wow, that guy
became a cornerstone of our of our organization, or like
that dude put us over the top. And those are

(12:25):
the things that you take a gamble on, that you
do overpay on. And it's not the polite It's not
the first bag contract that we've ever seen, Brian Klow,
There's been a lot of them, Michael Ryder, I could
keep doing this. There's been a lot of bad contracts
that have come through the organization, like Mike Kemilary couldn't

(12:47):
War thirteen for a while. But yeah, there's there's there's
been There's been a lot of bad contracts. But guess what.
That happens with every team. That happens with every team.
And even when the teams that are winning, like you
said that, Marsh and the contract like it might help
them now, it might bite them in the ass later on,

(13:07):
like things happened. Look at Chicago after Chicago made their run,
they wonder three Cups, Like, look at the disarray that
team was in after they like sold themselves, you know,
getting this guy in and bringing this person in and
trading this person and trading that and dismantling. They got
rid of Paneraen, they got rid of big Buff, not

(13:29):
big Buff. They got rid of dudes that like ended
up being pretty damn good hockey players just because they
needed to win now. They wanted to win now. They
and they did, and they won those Cups and they
did what they had to do. It's sometimes it too.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
I mean, you signed Tay's and Kine and Seabrook and
Duncan Keith, like some of them got priced out. Yeah,
and panerin I don't think they wanted to get rid
of I don't think they wanted to get rid of
Buffalo either, but they had to in the long Corey Crawford,
you know, like you got some big contracts there, and yeah,
they had to make some sacrifices.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
And talk about making mistakes. You look at like when
Pittsburgh they were like Mark Andre too you know, Mark
Andre Flurry too expensive, We'll expose him in the Vegas
entry draft and instead will stick with Jari or whoever
the hell they stuck with. And look at how that
turned out. Matt Murray, Matt Murray, that's Murry. Yeah, I mean,
and a lot of that was because if like they

(14:24):
won their last Cup on the back of Matt Murray
and not because of Flurry. But if you look at it,
like Flury was really more like whatever, it just Flurry
got screwed that whole situation. Like the point being is
like teams make dumb decisions on some people sometimes and
sometimes for the right reason at the right time. But
it you know, like you said twenty twenty, things look

(14:44):
bad from a distance.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
All right, Well I want to ask, I won't ask.
I have a feeling I know what the responses will
be by the way, Hello everyone on YouTube, what's up there?
You're checking in over here? See y'all? In the live
had Tom and Steven and selecta.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Dubbs is there as well, Ted Jim, a whole bunch
of people chopping in over there. So I have a
feeling I know what some of their answers will be
for this one. But as we mentioned, I know Sam
Wu was a big fan of the Pilot signing when
it did happen. Sam, you know, looking back now and

(15:28):
using try not to go to hindsighty, but you know,
like I guess we are looking back. Do you think
overall this was a mistake signing Pilot to that deal.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
It's twenty twenty, it's so it's I'm sorry to interrupt,
but this is like you're looking at it.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Now, but I know, not looking at it, but it's
hard like pure fan, yeah, but not looking at it
from a pure fan perspective of like where you just
got to go off the hook. You know has done
some good things. He has provided leadership and guidance to
a lot of these young kids. Wasn't an overpaid sure,

(16:07):
but you know, is it is it worth it? In
the long run. For what he's taught a Niko visher
on how to lead a team.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
You know, look at the situation. I'll look at both angles,
all right. At the at the time the Devils were
gunning and going after Johnny Gudreau at that moment before
they got Pilot. Eventually, eventually, Uh.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
They got they thought he had him locked in.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
Yeah, I'm not sure if FITZI had a plan B
at that moment with I think looking back, was this
a good down payment investment for the future.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Sure by bringing Palot in for those reasons, Like you said,
Scotty about the leadership you've provided. Let's go back in
time his first season. The Devils are owned too fire
Lindy Chance were raining down Pallot's first season with the Devils,
all right, expectations are high. That third game, I believe

(17:22):
Pollot when I think the Devils were down what to
nothing or something like that, and I think either Pilot
scored or he had a great play or a sister
or whatever to get things going. Uh. That was a
magical season. Pallot was hurt. I think Plot was hurt
for most of the season. You go to that game
seven against the New York Rangers, where he willed himself

(17:47):
to get that pass off to keep it in the
Rangers zone. He was part of the building blocks of
where the Devils are today. Lots of up and downs.
From a money perspective, there's two ways you can look
at it. You can look at it. Was it worth
six million on the surface, No, not at all. However,

(18:11):
it's hard to say. He He led a young team
and it's been well documented in the press, whether it's
a pr move where the players really mean it, that
he did have an impact in.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
That locker room and we're in the a where in
the quick.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
If they can't move a lot, I still think he
still has a lot to prove and a lot to give.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
And if he has something to give.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
I again, you know, I'm not gonna pull a bull
prediction here, but as soon as I you know, I
it's it's hard to say Scotty because what was what
I mean the other alternative? And again I don't want
to sound or what you know, what if the Devil's

(19:03):
in't Helot, what if they signed gud and there was
not enough money for plot, where would this team be?
It's hard to say. It's it's really hard to say.
You know, so.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Again, you know that's do you bring up an interesting
not to not to interject again, but you bring up
an interesting fact like if that Gudro contract, I don't
know what that's fun. Not to cut you off again,
but not to cut you off, not to cut you off,
but shut your mouth for a minute. You win, bag.

(19:37):
Let me tell you something, now, do you think about it?
You bring up a good point about the Pilot contract
if it or the the Guduro contract, if if all
things considering, let's say nothing ever happened. Uh, and and
Matthew or both the good brothers are still here. If
he would ended up being a devil the contract that

(19:59):
they were trying to give him, if I'm not mistaken,
was pushing ten? Is that that's correct?

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Between nine nine? Nine point five? Is I think what
everyone was thinking at the time.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
So nine point five ten. Right, So let's say we
didn't have alot in the books, but we have uh,
you know, Johnny Hockey on the books at at nine
point five. I'll even be on the lighter side of it.
Everything kind of pans out the same way. We'd still
be in in cap hell right now, Well, I guess

(20:35):
if you.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Get if you get Gadrill, though you may not get Temo.
So things, yeah, things, things could be.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
A lot lot if Domino there's dominant is true there
You don't really I mean unless you're in the locker room,
you really don't know or understand how much he has
an impact on the young players, you know, at that time,
during his time, and he may still have that, I
don't know, but things would have been different had that.

(21:06):
I mean, John Marino may have not come to New
Jersey as well. You know, that magical season, the record
breaking season may have not happened, you know, and.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
May have never gotten a pocket cookie from Paul.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Marino would have never happened, Yeah never yeh Ever, and
you know it, it is it is weird to think about,
like and you could really go back with like a
million different scenarios with with this, with this team or
any team, your own life whatever, where if you change
like one variable, they could change the you know it

(21:43):
completely change.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
How everything turns out. And I think one of the
most interesting things is like during that time when Guduau
ended up going to Columbus and everybody was like, ah,
this sucks, and then we got a lot, and it
was like, all right, this is great. All right, you
know what, he missed out on the big fish, but
he ended up still getting like a pretty good keeper.
The question now becomes like, if he's able to move him,

(22:07):
if he's able to do something. I think we talked
about it last week or previously, where it's like, if
he's able to do something, do you believe that he's
going to have to retain some of the salary in
order to make it happen. I mean, you could try
to get him out to Anaheim. You could try to
get him out to San Jose. San Jose would be
a great fit because it's a team that does need, like,

(22:28):
you know, a little bit more better. I'm just you know,
I'm trying to build up the case.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
But no, but they don't need like to get to
the bottom line or anything like that. There's no teams
out there that you know, are like desperate for contracts
to take on. It seems like, you know, a team
like Chicago or Anaheim, they're they're now pretty comfortable to
that body, so they're not really looking in San Jose

(22:53):
as well. They're not really looking to take on this big,
massive contract just to you know that a bunch of
young kids that they're playing on these rookie deals or
whatever that aren't you know, don't equate to a lot
of money. You know, you got to get to that
that that basement, that bottom floor for the for the salary.

(23:14):
So I don't know, like those those usuals that you
can reach out to, they kind of seem to be
okay money wise right now. So yeah, I think if
you do get to move P a lot, I think
you might have to eat you know, a little bit
of that of that contract as well. But before before

(23:35):
we get there, I want to ask Sam. I'm gonna
interrupt you now you go. I want to ask Sam,
you know, do you think that P a lot, even
though we've seen these couple of years here not really
being the palot esque play that maybe you know we

(23:55):
were we were seeing in Tampa Bay. Do do you
think he has an opportunity to bounce back? Of course
he does, because we've looked at some of the metrics
and they're not the prettiest you know, for a pilot
when he's on the ice. Well, Ken, is that the
injuries catching up with them? Is that father time catching

(24:17):
up with them? Does he have from what you saw,
you know, on the ice, do you think he has
a chance to rekindle something or another.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
I don't think he's washed up. I just think right now,
you know, I think, let's put it this way, if
you look at his contract right now from a pure
dollars and cents standpoint, I'm not talking about the cap
what it's costing us on the cap. The Devil's front
loaded financially that contract, meaning if they were to trade

(24:52):
him to another team, the team would take the cap hit.
But that's true money dollars coming out of his pocket,
the US pocket. Uh, the liability is mitigated there. The
Devils did that with Dougie Hamilton. They did that with
a pilot, which makes them more attractive and tradable. Okay,

(25:17):
a team, Look if a bottom feeder team that's looking
to get to the cap floor has all this cap space,
but really they're in a rebuilding mode. I would want
a pilot, you know, not to you know, that's what
he's worth right now in my opinion. Uh, if he
were to play with the New Jersey Devil, say they

(25:38):
can't move him, of course, I think he has a
chance to kind of like resurrect himself. I think he
still can be a good player, but can he be
a good fit for the New Jersey Devils. I think
that's the biggest question, the biggest question of all. And
I want to get to Steven in the YouTube live.
I want to clarify some here because he wrote a

(26:00):
couple of things that I kind of disagree with. He
said Gudrou didn't want to come here. That's a pointless
argument anyway. No, it's not because the fact that it's
it's a fact that it's. It's in the well documented
that Tom Fitzgerald was going after Gudreau and he didn't
get Gudrou. It's well documented. What was the plan b

(26:23):
it was, it was plot, and then it was who
else did he sign as well? And then the John
Marino trade he signed somebody else. I forgot, it's escaping
me right now. He signed two players and he made
a trade, you know, Yeah, it was probably Tutar, you know,
so whatever. So it is relevant because at that time

(26:45):
period he was all in on Gudroau didn't get him.
So it doesn't make the argument relevant because that's how
we got the plot. Uh, if had they had signed Gudreau,
I don't think Pilott would have ever you would have
never went to New Jersey. Guaranteed he would have never
went to New Jersey. And on top of that, in

(27:06):
terms of but I do agree with you that every
time the puck touched his stick last season, the play
died agreed and that time. Yeah, and I don't think
he fits.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Sheldon keif system.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, that's exactly, thank you.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, there are rumors that Keith was very discontent with
with plot and you know, I listen that. I feel
like this is one of those things as a curse
to have like public knowledge of what people make, right,
because like you look at a players contract and you're like,
this dude makes what and he's doing what if he

(27:46):
was making like two point five, if he's making like
you know in that area, yeah, you'd be like, you
know what, I wish you were getting more out of leadership.
We're getting leadership, locker room leadership. Yeah, we're getting what
we paid for. That's kind of like what ends up
being like it's like you kick the tires in this

(28:06):
old Honda and it still gets it from point at
to point B. But you get what you paid for.
You ain't gonna get no bluetooth. You ain't gonna get
no power windows. You're gonna have to roll those sons
of bitches down by hand like the old days.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Let's put it this way. At the time, I think
that Nico Hesher was a lonely captain, a young young
player when when he got the captain c at that
time period. We all love where Nico is right now
as a player and with the team. Does plot You

(28:37):
can debate a plot had anything to do with it,
I don't know, But where where this team is, with
the with the Nico Heesher, love it, Jack hughes if
he can stay healthy and and and recapture that magic,
love it. But you know, but these kids, you know,

(28:57):
they're growing up now. It's just a matter of the
devil's kneed pollot right now. But I don't want to
say he sucks because I think for another team he
could be very valuable considering the.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Oh he's amazing. He's amazing. Have you ever seen him
out on the ice.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
He's incredible, Sam and any team would be you know,
uh stupid not to take a chance on him. Come on,
he's an amazing player, amazing player all around. Five tool,
five tool.

Speaker 8 (29:23):
Five tool five tool, got a lot in a bag,
you know what I mean? All that dumb stuff got
a lot, got a lot.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
All Right, moving on from Polot because I feel like
we're gonna get sick of talking about this because we've
been talking about it for so long. But let's talk
about how the Devils are gonna get Brady ka Chuck.
That's what we're gonna be talking about. How they're gonna
make a blockbuster deal for one Brady Carl Kachuck. I
don't know what his middle name is. H No, Realistically,
I think one of the things that I wanted to

(29:57):
talk about is uh is a Jersey jersey and the
thoughts of it coming back because I was always under
the assumption that you were allowed to have a third
jersey for only X amount of years and then you
had to retire said jersey and like either come up
with something new or whatever the case might be. And
I saw this question posed by James Nichols on the X,

(30:22):
which one which jersey would you want to bring back
as an alternate jersey to the Jersey Jersey? And I'll
tell you right off the bat, the one that I
really wish they would bring back is the retro reverse
green jersey that was probably one of my favorite. That's
one of my favorite jerseys that I own. I think

(30:43):
it is such a sweet looking setup. I think the
whole top to bottom was sweet. But something like that
I think would be it would be a great fit.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
I mean, yeah, I've made my feelings clear on the
jersey jersey. I think it's terrible. It's just it's just
it just sucks in my opinion. So anything other than that,
I mean, yeah, the the retro, I mean, the reverse
retro is great, the old heritage one that I have
back here. Yeah, with their shoulders and everything, you know,

(31:19):
on the stripes or hello, how friggin hard is this
where the beautiful stadium series jerseys. They are amazing, they
are absolutely amazing. But nope, we get the stupid thing
with a bunch of stripes and you know, no actual
Devils will go on it.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
So I agree.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
I never liked it.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
I remember when they started teasing it and it's and
then once they once it came out, then they started losing.
You know, everything was just bad from it, bad with
it from the start. I know, the Devils are putting
like a lot of marketing behind it, like any you know,
any events that happened at the Prudential Center they have,
like Musician was wearing it, you know, even WWE or

(32:03):
whatever or whatever kind of event that they have. Yeah,
really I wish they put that effort in other places
within the world.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
You see this, Yeah, you see what they're doing here.
A lot of where they're like taking out the ring.
This one doesn't look like it, but you see how
it's just the logo without like the ring around logo
like like this. So the Stadium season, yeah, exactly. So
that jersey. I feel like the Stadium series jersey is
a jersey that should be in regular rotation. I feel

(32:33):
like the Heritage jersey, which you named before, should be
in in regular rotation, especially the white ones, the white
ones with the green and the red tramana. Those are
so slick looking and like, dude, do something, do something cool.
I do like the Heritage white maybe do like some
white shorts with them or something like that, Like do

(32:54):
something a little crazy. But like the jersey jersey, it
was like and we've talked about this that nauseum too,
but like it was one of those opportunities. It was
like you were this close, you got like this close
and then you screwed it up. It's like watching your
boy at a bar and you're like, man, Mikey's gonna
take this girl home tonight. This is looking pretty good.

(33:15):
And the next thing you know, he's walking over to
you with his hands in his pocket and his head down.
You're like, what did you do? It was on a
silver platter, Mikey. She even said she wanted to do it,
and you're like, ah, well, right, well he's going home alone,
all right, see you later, Bud. But yeah, it's it
was like so close. So there's details in it that
I absolutely love. The thirteen stripes for the thirteen counties. Like,

(33:39):
there's certain like little nuances about the jersey that I
do enjoy. I do enjoy. The numbers on the back
I think look really good with like a little bit
of red trim. I did. There's certain parts of the
jersey that I love. And it's just like you get
rid of the jersey, the scripted jersey on the front
and you put this logo in white with like maybe

(33:59):
that tiny it of that red trim around the edge
of it, and bam, you got a solid sick jersey.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
But no, no, it's not like the Devils have, like
you know, one of the best logos in sports or
anything like that, not just hockey, in sports in general. Hey,
let's take it off the front of the jersey and
not include it, like it's sitting right there for you
and they just they completely And I get it. Some

(34:27):
people like it and cool, I'm glad you do.

Speaker 9 (34:29):
For me.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
I don't dig it. I definitely don't. I would love
to see the actual if the actual Devil's logo was
on the front. Cool. And I would love to see
a little bit of that red trim on the on
the white stripes as well, which I think would look
really good, Like you were saying, with the with the
names and the numbers on the back, how they have
that you know, red trim around it. That's what I

(34:51):
would like. That's personally what I would like. But just
the Jersey script it sucks in my opinion. Like I said,
put the put the state the actual outline of the
state of New Jersey somewhere, make the jay the you know,
the actual New Jersey outline. Like it's there's so many
other things they could have done it, or put that
up on the shoulder or something like that, you know,

(35:11):
like put the logo though, one of the best logos
in sports, on the front of your freaking jersey, like
I but whatever, yeah, whatever, yeah, whatever.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
And I mean like there's I like Sandwich saying they've
dumped so much money into the promotion of it. They
even have like a ninety foot replica of the jersey
like up on a wall, you know, like stupid, you know,
stuff like that. It's like what I wish they would
have done. And what no team really does is listen
to the fans like pole, like send out a pole,

(35:45):
send it up and not to like we're gonna send
it over to the fan club, guy, bless the fan club.
We you know, we love you guys, but like we're
you gotta send it out to the to the masses
and not secretly, you know, not like one of these
things were like, oh, it was on the website like
three weeks ago, and you know you didn't see it.
And it's like, no nobody saw it, moron, Like you couldn't.
You didn't you didn't promote it, you didn't like put

(36:07):
the effort into it. That's it is, like you have
more of an effort, have more of a reach to
the fans, and we would tell you straight up, like, no,
nobody wants to see cursive writing. Nobody wants to make
it look like your grandma wrote you like a note
for Holadays. No, it's like do this right, do it right,
make it look mean, make it look cool as hell,

(36:27):
make it look like a jersey where you're like, I
don't want to play these guys. They might murder us
because look at their jersey, Like that's crazy looking.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
What about, hey, fans, like, if you were able to
design the Devil's third jersey, what would you come up
with and let the submissions come in and look at
all those submissions and then start making a jersey from
those submissions? You know, like it's really not that difficult.
And they went and completely screwed it up in my opinion.

(36:56):
But hey, like I said, if you like the jersey,
good cool. I'm glad that you do, like, go for it,
you know, like rocket, But for me, I just think
it sucks. I loves blow them out out of the
way way better.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
I love like when when they're like, we had we
got Marty involved in the jersey design. I'm sure they
walked by his office and right, what do you think
of that I don't know.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Yeah, no, I'm just taking graphic design while he was
playing all those years, all those games as well, playing
like seventy five a year, and somehow I tie for
graphic design classes at night.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
They're like, Marty, what do you think of this? And
he's probably like, don't I don't know. Okay, sure, and
they were probably he said, sure, that's good enough for us.
Let's go. And they're like, let's go get this person involved.
And they're like, who's what kind of graphic designer? Are
we going to get to the design this actual jersey?
And they're like, we don't have time for that. Just
somebody go into you know, go go onto your Pinterest

(37:49):
and find the most interesting picnic.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
What is that thing you got on your wall in
your kitchen? What does that say? Again?

Speaker 10 (37:57):
Live?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Laugh?

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Love?

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (37:58):
That same script, the same writing, that's we'll use it.
Go into your word words got it right? If words
got it, then we'll put it on there. It'll be fine.
You know how you signed your name on that Christmas
card last year, Jerry with that Jay same thing. Stupid.
They didn't have one guy, They didn't have one guy

(38:20):
sitting in that meeting, going this is dumb, this is
so dumb, and they're like, oh, you're well, you're out here.
And then he probably went to some other team and
made this like killer jersey and was like yeah. He
probably went to Carolina was like, we're bringing back the
whale jersey against everybody's wishes in Hartford, but we're doing it,
and everybody's like, yeah, that's an awesome idea.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
By the way, you know, the the the polling, the voting,
love the concept. That's how this team got its name
in the first place. Back in nineteen eighty two.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, we were almost the Gardeners, I think.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Yeah. And I remember and I had somebody that worked
for Inside the Devils when they did the poll for
the gold song, and I think it was what this
person told me said wanted the Gary Glitter song and

(39:16):
that was it. But they didn't, you know, everybody wrote
it in Yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
It was so badwhelming that a little bit of as
a little bit yeah, there's a little I get it,
but you know, I don't pray area and that's yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
But at the same time, it's like, if the fans
are voting for you, at least got to acknowledge it
and so just.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah, you should go on to should pull it from
the running, should be like, by the way, this dude
was like not a good person and very bad. So
we're taking that one out and now we're gonna do
songs from New Jersey, which they did. They ended up
with Howell from Gaslight, which I didn't really like for
the longest time until we went to the outdoor game
and we played it live and I was and I

(39:58):
found a whole new respect for them, and for that song,
I was like, all right, okay, I can I can
finally get behind a song.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I mean I was right.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
I was right next to them, actually you know, yeah
you were, and those those sty was Scotty was cleaning them. Yeah. Yeah.
I was at the top of.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
Ever in the death zone basically trying to uh, you know,
see exactly what's going on. I needed one of those.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Really, as his eyes were Christal.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yeah, look, you know, seeing what was going on. But
that's actually funny because I was I wrote this down
as something to discuss. Do you think it's time for
a new goal song?

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Yes? Always always and nothing against them, nothing against their song,
but I always I'm always up for a new goal song.
In fact, we have to. I don't know if you
remember this. We talked about this in the past. There
are certain teams that do this, and I think it
would be super cool that the players get to pick
their own goal song, like you can have guys that
have end up having the same one or whatever it is.

(41:02):
And I'm pretty sure as an engineer you could probably
speak to this. Is it hard to have just like
you have like a little board setup where it's like,
all right, plot scored, Yeah, dust that button off, get
the dust off of that thing, and then hit that button.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
But sometimes you don't know who really scored though. That's
the problem. But doing that sometimes you're not exactly one
hundred percent whether there was a tip.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Then you just do the like the Blair that like
the horn, just let the horn go for a couple
of seconds until somebody's like, hey, all right, it was
Jack and you're like, all right, man, and then boom,
run into Jack's song.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
I well, I think what you do is you have
a you have a team goal song, and then yeah,
after you can figure out like, oh, it was this person,
then you can kind of play an individual thing afterwards,
kind of like when they do it like Houla, you know,
like every time and everything the f But do you
do you guys have any you know? And we'll throw

(41:59):
do out to anyone on YouTube as well, because I
see some people saying yes, some people saying no, and
something that I thought of, But I mean, do you
do you guys if I said, like, hey, what would
be another good goal song for you that you think
would be a good one? You know, do you have
any suggestions you want me to make mine? Go ahead? Gohead?

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Well, Sam, Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Know if this should be a good goal song, right,
I don't know if this good gold song. It would
definitely be a good entrance song the Sopranos theme song.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
No, I don't think that would be a good goal song.
You need something that's gonna not a gold yeah, but
entrance maybe yeah, entrance. I always thought that. I've always
been an advocate for them incorporating the Sopranos more into
just everyday life of what the team does, like that
is such a huge piece of New Jersey, like especially

(42:54):
entertainment history, and I mean it's it doesn't it's not
gonna hit the same like it would have like when
the show is relevant, but still every once in a while,
like ad a little bit. They used to have Tony
Soprano come on and be like okay, hey, all right,
let's get loud, and you're like, hey, it's freaking Tony Soprano.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
I was they did like commercials with the soprano. Like
I always had this dream of like Polly Walnuts, you know,
being like, hey, we're gonna get a couple of the devils.
He had the teachers had to do some slap shots,
and then all of a sudden, the scene just kind
of cuts to like someone in a bag, you know,
kind of like struggling, and the devil was supposed to
coming snap shots with the bag, you know, like he shots,

(43:35):
you know, like something along those lines, but sorry.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Falls out Ranger's jersey and you're like, maybe just across
the river, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, I see,
I see it. We do it. We should have been
working the pr team. We would have been having some gold.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
There were some missed opportunities there with some of those guys, huge.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Huge missed opportunity.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
I hate to admit it, but like the Rangers have
a really great goal song, like they're they're like that, hey, hey, hey, hey,
like that's that kind of song where you're like, you
can get the fans, Like the whole reason that Gary
Glitter song was great. Uh, it was like it was
you get the fans in it, right. I personally, if

(44:17):
I had to pick a song, I don't know, I'd
have to sit down and go through shuffle through a
couple of songs that I think would fit that. But
I want something that's gonna be uh, that's gonna fit
the tone of the team, and it's gonna fit the
like like I love how Dallas plays. Pantera wrote them
because Pantera is heavily involved with the Dallas Stars, but
wrote them their own song. Yeah, yeah, just something something

(44:39):
that fits the team. I'm sure there's plenty of bands
out there that you could go and be like, yo,
help us out with this. But I also want to
get rid of that you suck. I think it's I
think it's I I'm maybe in the minority on this one.
But like when it's like they score and right, you suck,
it's like all right, Especially when we're down like four
to two and it's like late in the third period,

(45:01):
I'm like, are we really still saying you suck? Like
when we're the ones that clearly suck right now, I
think you're probably in the minority. I get it.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
I think you're overthinking it. I get what you're saying.
But for me, it's already hard enough to get New
Jersey Devil fans to agree on one chanty. I'll take
whatever I can get.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, I don't know. Well, like I said, I might
be in a minority of that one.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Here is my idea. And I know we used this.
I think we used it a couple of times. I
don't know if we still do or not. Honestly can't
remember off the top of my head. But you know,
obviously I'm a little biased here, you know, being that
this certain gentleman is over here above my head all

(45:47):
the times. But with the recent loss of mister Ozzy Osbourne,
I thought it might be a pretty damn cool goal song.
And I don't know if any other team does this,
but n I b.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
Which is and.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Oh yeah, oh yeah exactly.

Speaker 9 (46:12):
So if you cut to like the end there and
that verse is all you know, my name is Lucifer,
please take my hand all that, like the fans could
do the oh yeah after everything Assie says, so it
comes back he does and there's a very quick verse
at the end.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
And of course I don't know, maybe we are the
new Jersey Devils.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
But the fans can do the oh yeah because it's
the same guitar riff dead.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, oh oh yeah, yeah, oh man, it's like choppy
as hell. I don't even know if he knows what's
going on. There's a there's a it is it a
drop kick Murphy's or there's another song. Uh yeah that

(47:05):
Hey you got bunting bouncing and they're from Jersey like that.
We did that.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
We did that for like a year or two, I think,
and then they changed it. They had ola did they
I thought they had, but either way they had Sorry,
I don't know if you if you heard, I don't
know where I was getting I don't know where I
was getting cut off. But yeah, that that would be
my uh selection, just to go with N I B.
From Black Sabbath. Like I said, the song has the
devil references in, it has the oh yeah, you know

(47:35):
sing along that the fans can all do, and yeah,
everybody freaking loves Aussie, so you know, like, I think
it's a perfect combination right there for something and I
can't think of any other team that does it, you know,
I think one of the Canadian teams does uh van
Halen with the hey Hey Hey, I can't remember is Winnipeg.

(47:57):
I can't remember who does the van Halen uh Gold song.
But I just think that would be something really cool
and original. It's something everybody knows. And like I said,
the song is you know, it's got the devil references
in it already. I think they used to use that
as a come on the Ice song for for for
a couple of years too. You can run with the

(48:18):
Devil Hell's bells and I think they did an ib
for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
But yeah, yeah, And and I know, like Max is
saying the Devil and Night by slip Knot, if you
listen to the song, it just wouldn't fit. Because I
thought about that, I went through like a I went
down a rabbit hole. I went down a rabbit hole
of like all the Devil referenced songs that could possibly fit,
and I'm like, yeah, that might work, that could work,

(48:43):
This could work, that could work.

Speaker 4 (48:45):
That one that one might not.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, that one's.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
Shout out the Devil. That would be good.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
That that's what they come Yeah, sho shout sho, yeah
that actually, yeah, yeah that would be that would work
to Actually, that would really work. Man.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
This is what.

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Yeah, this is like the the pr stuff that I
always think about, Like we think about like the fan
experience and like how how things could be different. Like
if you really think about how the stadium started and
how it used to be geared towards families and now
it's geared towards You're gonna get rip, roar and drunk
no matter which way you like it, because no matter

(49:28):
where you go, everything is a bar. You're like I
went into the bathroom and there was a mini bar
inside the bathroom. So like it's just it's it's taken
a lot of that away. Like back in the day,
you used to be able to take your kids like
trick or treating on like if they're playing a game
on or near Halloween, like you could get there early
and the kids could go trick or treating around the radio,

(49:50):
around the arena. They used to have like a way
more interactive kids zone at one point. So I mean,
like there's certain things that I wish to go back
to in making it more fan friendly and and and
having us in mind, and even like you said before,
like the little things like if they're going to redo
the goal song, Like yeah, they had that fan contest,

(50:10):
but it wasn't really like it wasn't publicized, it wasn't
pushed out there. It wasn't like it would have been
cool if they were like maybe have an interview with
some of the people from the bands that were like, yeah,
this would be a wild if this was our you know,
I don't know, like go that extra step. It feels
like there's always like that. We get to a certain point,
we get so close, like the jersey jersey and then
we dropped the ball.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Yeah, well say, I see, I got a couple of
supporters over there. Thank you, Zach, thank you, Brian. I
appreciate it, appreciate it. And Ted I believe the Flyers
are penny Wise the Van Halen song, it's maybe it's
Vancouver or Calgreat. I can't remember. Nah, it was a

(50:53):
Canadian team that day.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
No, wait, I can see it in my head right
now because they can see when they score. Is it Calgary?

Speaker 4 (51:00):
It might be it might be Calgary, it might be Calgary.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
I can't I can't remember. Somebody can look at well either.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Way, Yeah, if they're if they using the shout out
of the devil, you know, to come on the ice.
I don't know. I think n ib would be uh
would be a really really good song too. And yes,
that's right who pointed that out? Ozzie is the prince
of darkness, perfect for the devils, So you know, yeah,

(51:28):
I mean it all makes sense. I know Sam Wu
is looking for us to uh wrap it on up.
But did you guys want to play a little quick
fun trivia?

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Yes? Always?

Speaker 4 (51:43):
Can we stump the crew over here? And crewe and
Sam Wu? Sam Wu and crew? Can you stump Sam
Wu and crew? I saw this post about the Devil's
you know, top ten, you know, all time goal scorers,
And I'm gonna give you guys two options, and you're

(52:05):
gonna tell me which one it is. Okay, all right?
So we all know Patrick aliosh Is is number one,
you know what, four hundred and eight goals. Who comes
in at number two with three forty seven? Is it
a Pat Verbeek or is it b John McClain.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
That would be be John McClain.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Sam will I agree? Me mean an that is correct? Wow?
Congratulations gentlemen, one for one. Let's move on to number
three with two hundred and two goals. And this, by
the way, this is Devil's career, not their yeah, total career,

(52:53):
although Patrick Eliosh's total career with two hundred two goals
for the New Jersey Devils. Is it a Bobby Holik
or B Travis Zajak?

Speaker 3 (53:11):
Mmmm, I'm gonna say, Hey, Bobby Holik, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go Holy. He's gonna say Zay Jack, I'm
gonna go Jack.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
Well, I will tell you what.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
You're both right.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
It's a trick question. They both have two goals. I
do that ranking ranking number four on the list, all right,
not bad.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Not bad, that's a Mandi Stein softball question.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Yeah, all right?

Speaker 4 (53:40):
With number five with one hundred and ninety four New
Jersey Devil goals. Is it a Zach Paris or b
Iliya Kovalchuk?

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (53:55):
It is Zach Peresi?

Speaker 4 (53:59):
Sam?

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Yeah, I would agree with Beer Baron and you both
are correct.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
Zach Barezi with one hundred and ninety four New Jersey
Devil goals. All right, Number six with one eighty five
on the tallies.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
M Is it a.

Speaker 4 (54:23):
Kirk Muller or is it b Jason Arnott, Kurk Muller.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
I know Arnatt had two stints with the Devils, but
I don't think he was there long enough to amass
that that number.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
He was on the A line, but kirk Muller was
more of a passer than a scorer. I like to
say Muller, but just just to go against Beer Barren,
I'll say Arnot.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
And crew with the win. Right there, it is kirk
Muller with one hundred and eighty five. I have a
career Jersey career goals. Okay, Now coming in at number
seven with one hundred and seventy one goals? Is it

(55:22):
a Peter Socora or b current captain Nico hesher.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Man. I'm gonna go how many did you say? One hundred?

Speaker 4 (55:39):
And how many? Was it one hundred and what hundred
and seventy one? Or Nico Heisher.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Well, Nico's oh my god, I'm gonna say Peter Scora
think he has gotten to that.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
I like to say that, but now I'm down one
against Beer Barnes, So I'm gonna say Nico Heuscher, even
though I know what's wrong.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
Well, this round goes to the WU then because it
is didn't he go seventh.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
I didn't realize with.

Speaker 4 (56:18):
Seventy one goals already, that's right, wow, all right, Number eight,
Number eight with one hundred and seventy will be former
Captain Jamie Langenbrunner or the aforementioned Pat for Beek.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
All right, now we're getting a little tricky. I over Beacat,
I had a couple of solid seasons. I'm gonna go
with Now I'm gonna second guess everything. I'm saying, I'm
gonna go with Captain America. I'm gonna go with Jamie
langan Brenner.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Okay, Sam Wu, I'm going to lang Burner. Two langen Burners. Yeah,
we have officially stumped Sam Wu and cra Karen No
everybody time with one hundred and seventy career goals. All right,

(57:23):
getting close here to the end with one hundred and
sixty six goals for the New Jersey Devils. Is it
a Alexander Mogunli or b Peter Sikora.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
I'm saying Coora.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Sacora was here longer. I'm gonna go to Sakora.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
Too, and they have both rebounded here. Number nine all
time with one sixty six peater. So Kora number ten.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
That ms ready for this morning. Yeah, god, I know
it was crazy.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
They amount of goals.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
That's wild, that's freaking wild. Anyways, gone at.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
Number and at number ten with one hundred and sixty
two career goals? Is it a Jack Hughes or b
Aaron Broughton.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
It's Jack Hughes.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
I'm gonna go with Broughton.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner, and it is
Sam wo with one hundred and sixty two goals and
Aaron Bryan. Jack Hughes isn't there yet. I think he's
got one hundred and forty sub but he will be
slowly climbing.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
He will be there. He will be there.

Speaker 4 (58:59):
Sam Woo, buy one, Sam Wu buy one? Right there.
Top ten Devil's goal scores of all time. Nicely done, gentlemen.
I got a couple of these wrong time. Oh yes,
there's some of those.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Some of those middle ones start to get a little
tricky because what I start to think of immediately is
like longevity, like who is there long enough to score
that many goals? And then you're like, well, who is
the linemates with like that? You know, there's a few
of them that get a little uh, a little tricky.
But anyways, that's that's fun. That was fun.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
Maybe next week we'll do another one, we'll do something similar.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Well, I don't think they're gonna have ten different players
by next week.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
No, no, no, no, not not. Maybe do assists, maybe
do cysts and.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
Okay, maybe maybe we'll look at assists or something like that.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Top five, Maybe we'll look at markdor you know.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
What, we'll look at maybe top ten goal scorers for
a defenseman.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
I like that, although I won't that would be an
interesting one. That would be an interesting one with like,
you know, Stevens had that one great year, but you
think about, man, how many did Rafolski school Dougie?

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
Well, look at Dougie broke the record two years ago
on a freak year. Dougie broke that record. Yeah, so Dougie,
that would be a good one.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Just defenseman. Yeah, Needer Meyer, Oh my god, I don't
even think you need a Meyer right away. Wow, that
would be a good one. I'm gonna have to look
those stats up.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Yeah, that'd be fun. I like doing that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
But Stevens was so like he was such an offensive
threat in the first you know a couple of years,
but then he just turned into defensive defenseman. After that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
You think about.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
He led the team, what was that ninety three or
ninety four, led the team in goals.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
That year, something like that. Yeah, yeah, well, boys, I'd
take it's time for the The last thoughts that Sam
was alluding to before. My last thoughts are gonna be this.
This summer is long. Enjoy every second of it. Try
to get as much rest and relaxation as you can

(01:01:13):
when you can, and don't get stressed out about the
devil's not making any moves. Things will happen. You know,
there might be reasons why things haven't happened, or there
might be things that are happening that we don't know about.
Instead of getting worked up about it or getting pissed
off about it, just let the chips land where they land.
I know some people are worried that they're gonna lose

(01:01:33):
Luke Hues. Luke isn't going anywhere. I don't think you
have to worry about it. But what you should worry
about is the fact that football season is now fastly approaching,
and usually with that comes heartbreak and headache. With your
New York Giants and or New York Jets, whoever you
root for. So enjoy the quiet, the piece, the calm.

(01:01:57):
The season will be here before we know it, and
until then, just relax summertime.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
My final thought is standing Off is going to pay huge,
huge dividends with gritz Yuk. It's going to be one
of the more you know, under the table kind of
like non real. Yeah, it really will be in the
long run. I know he's only here for a year.

(01:02:28):
It's a very cheap deal for someone who's going to
provide a lot of guidance and mentorship to someone who's
very young and has a difficult time speaking the language.
Dandanoff is going to pay wonders with gritz Yuk. Don't
be surprised to see both of them on the same line,

(01:02:50):
whether that's the third or the fourth line. You know,
I know we talked about some line combinations a a
week or so ago, whether that's with Glass in the
middle or Dawson Mercer, if he's still on the team.
That's gonna be a really good thing in the long
run for this kid who's got a lot of potential.
Everyone's talking about that top six winger. You have someone

(01:03:12):
who's coming in here. We might be able to provide.
I don't know if he's gonna be able to provide,
you know, right away top three, but maybe top nine scoring.
There's that potential. Definitely a couple of years it'll be
top six scoring if all goes to plan. But Dananov
is gonna be a huge, huge asset in getting grits.

(01:03:34):
You accustomed to the to the American game as opposed
to the KHL.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Agreed.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
My final thought will be fine twenty twenty five. It's
gonna be good twenty twenty six. That's all I have
to say. Well said not much.

Speaker 10 (01:04:00):
Euston's let's make a statement, alrighty Well, I want to
thank all those tuning in dropping the podcast at midnight,
keep me here throughout the summer.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Until next time, let's go doubles.
