New Jersey Devils Exit Meetings: Jack Hughes...Rating His Sophomore Year & Is He a Future Captain?; Any Chance The Devils Draft Luke Hughes?

Happy Friday, everybody! I know you're probably sick of me talking about Lindy Ruff, but, hey, "Sneaky" Joe and Jordan Hansgen brought it up in this crossover episode not me! Since Ruff was a longtime Sabres head coach it only makes sense that Joe and Jordan wanted to discuss the "Ruff" signing/reality with me (Two past episode references. See what I did there?). Anyways, we also discussed about how much of a disappoint PK Subban and Jack Hughes have been so far with the Devils. They also made fun of me a little bit when the Devils lost 7-2 to the Sabres earlier this past season (I also broke down that game in a past episode).Follow "Sneaky" Joe on Twitter: @SneakyJoeWGRFollow Jordan on Twitter: @JRHansgen Learn more about your ad choices.

As some of you may have already been aware, I grew up in Detroit, Michigan. So, it was definitely surreal to be talking hockey, and also Detroit in general, with a fellow Michigan native that is familiar with my sayings. Nolan and I discuss the similarities between the Red Wings and Devils, and also try to look into the future of both of our organizations. Don't worry this is NOT a pity party!Follow Nolan on Twitter: @nolanbianchiSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection. Reliably low prices.

Oh, boy, I guess this was inevitable. This episode is a follow up from yesterday's in which Sarah (Yes. She is back for the THIRD time in a row) and I analyze and discuss the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals. Yes. The one that slipped away from the Devils after trying to make the improbable comeback being down 3-0. Not only that, but we also discuss the aftermath it had on both of our respective teams.Follow Sarah on Twitter: @WriteSaidSarahSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

Everybody remembers 2012? Yeah. Good times, good times...Well, not for Devils fans. Because that was the year that we lost in the Stanley Cup. But how did we exactly get there? Well, Sarah's (Locked On Kings/Locked On NHL) back for the second time in a row. In this episode, she and I will provide our listeners the backstories to both of our respective conference champions before we move on to the Stanley Cup Finals.Follow Sarah on Twitter: @WriteSaidSarah Learn more about your ad choices.

Yup. That's what I am going to call crossover episodes from here on out. The reason for that is because I am a fan of the 1989 Batman film that starred Jack Nicholson (Joker) and Michael Keaton (Batman). In a couple of scenes the Joker asked Batman, "Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?" So, there's a little Easter egg for y'all. But in all seriousness, in my first ever crossover episode, Sarah Avampato asked me questions about Lindy Ruff, my backstory, and this was sort of an introduction for hockey fans to know more about me and my personality.Follow Sarah on Twitter: @WriteSaidSarahSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

Wait you mean to tell me that I have to finish that lengthy interview and dive even deeper into my analysis of the CBA? Fine. This is what I get for missing an episode deadline. Hopefully, you guys enjoy me speaking even more about the CBA and this Fitzgerald interview on your day off. This is my make up gift for you ;)Full Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p_e06bwBqwSeattle Kraken Twitter Promo: https://twitter.com/NHLSeattle_/status/1286334190439395330 Learn more about your ad choices.

I know this is kind of old news, but it's better to be late than never. In this episode we will take a deeper look into Tom Fitzgerald's answers he provided to Amanda Stein in regards to the newly established CBA. It should also be worth mentioning that the CBA is crucial for any start to a respective season, due it being sort of a "contract" between players and owners. There will indeed be a part two to this crucial breakdown.Full Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p_e06bwBqwSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

Sometimes we have to ask the tough questions, even if we don't have all the answers. In this more serious episode I discuss the indifference and overall separation that we, as fans, observe especially during the National Anthem. We see support and sometimes backlash, including from leaders of a particular country. I address my perspective and further discuss how sometimes we have to have empathy and understanding even if we don't fully grasp a concept.Disclaimer: This is all from MY perspective and opinions. I DO NOT speak for friends, some family members, colleagues, et cetera.CityNews Toronto story (Ft. PK Subban): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrqHEcyXYN8 Learn more about your ad choices.
