Lindy Ruff Was Fired & Travis Green Was Named Interim Head Coach...What's Next For The New Jersey Devils?

Illinois native, Vincent "Vinnie" Sansone, is back for part 2 of this great discussion sequel. In yesterday's episode we touched on so many topics, that we couldn't fit it into one episode. Today we talk about PK Subban and New Jersey's defensive woes, but also is there any hope that our young players can pull us out of the gutter? Plus, we discuss any expansion draft possibilities for both Chicago and New Jersey. Who's possibly heading to the other side of the coast?Follow Vinnie on his social media platforms:Instagram: @vinniesansone_22Snapchat: vinniesonbon66Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

I love doing open hockey discussions, and today is no different. This time Illinois native, Vincent Sansone (Hockey player for Adrian College's ACHA DIII Men's squad), joins the show. This hockey discussion is a little bit different because even though Vinnie is a die hard Chicago Blackhawks fan, he still enjoys NHL hockey (which includes the New Jersey Devils). So, in this episode, we discuss the NHL playoffs, New Jersey's head coaching dilemma, and also revisit an old "classic" episode. Since he likes the Blackhawks, I decided to bring up the comparison between Elias and Hossa again. Will perspectives change? Find out!Part 2 will be posted tomorrow!Follow Vinnie on his social media platforms:Instagram: @vinniesansone_22Snapchat: vinniesonbon66Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

As we all know there's a new NHL team in town: The Seattle Kraken (coming in one full calendar year). However, what a lot of people don't know is how the expansion draft is going to work out. In this episode, I explain and break down everything that will occur once the expansion draft for Seattle hits the ice. Also, which players on the Devils roster are safe, and which ones are heading to the other side of the coast? I will analyze and break that all down as well .Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

In today's episode, I make my mental health talks more "relatable". This time I take two New Jersey Devils players (one current, one former) and share their stories on mental health. Talks like these ones are very important because it allows us to have an open perspective, and also helps my audience better understand that they're never alone. Again, if you are ever going through something please talk to someone! It only takes one person to understand. Love always wins!Suicide Prevention link: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.orgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection. Reliably low prices.

No. Stephen A Smith is not guest starring on this show, but he does play a major part in this episode. Because, after Skip Bayless's idiotic comments, ESPN's Stephen A Smith came forward and shared a personal story on the mental battles he has faced in his life. While ESPN may not always talk about hockey, I feel as though it's important that we talk about them in this instance. I found Smith's story very relatable and touching. There's more in store for this topic.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Door Dash: Right now, our listeners can get $5 off and zero delivery fees on their first order of $15 or more, when you download the DoorDash app and enter code LOCKEDONNHL.Roman: Go to getroman.com/lockedonnhl TODAY.

I'm sorry for the change of schedule again, but some things are more important. In today's episode, I reflect on the September 11th attacks, 19 years later, and what I was doing on that tragic day. Even though I was toddler at the time, I still learned a lot from my father on that day and it continues to inspire me even in the present. We as society were hurt on that day, but we still continue to rebuild even after nearly two decades later. In segment two of this episode, I provide you guys my honest reaction to an Undisputed episode that aired yesterday (9/10/20) . Mental health is NOT something to make light of. Skip Bayless is an idiot and I have some choice words for him. If you're ever going through something, don't be afraid to talk about it.Suicide Prevention lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.orgSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Well, after yesterday's exciting episode, it is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of something very important towards this show. Oh, don't worry nobody died. I'm talking about my show's original introduction, because Doug Branson (Locked On colleague) created a new one for this show. I am going to demonstrate it in this episode, as we say good-bye to the original . Now, let's talk about something more exciting like our new assistant coach. In today's episode I break down his one-on-one interview with Amanda Stein.Full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw1VrXYJBbk&t=161sSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

Yesterday, New Jersey made national headlines by announcing another coaching change. This time they hired former NHL all-star and champion (x3), Mark Recchi, as their next assistant coach. I am a big fan of this hire, because this hall of famer brings a lot to the table for a team like New Jersey. Not only does he have a great hockey mind, but he has all of the other necessary qualifications that I look for in a coach. If all goes according to plan, maybe he can be something more to this organization in the future.
