Checking in on The Utica Comets...They Also Had an Inconsistent 2023-24 Season (Ft. Ben Birnell)

It's officially the NHL offseason, which means it's almost draft day. In this special three part crossover, all of the Locked On NHL hosts (With a top 10 draft pick) decided to host a mock draft roundtable days before the big event. I made a shocking decision for the Devils, because I religiously preached on past episodes of how we need defense over forwards...so take a guess on who I project the Devils to select with their #7 pick.

Well, it's officially the offseason for the NHL, so it's time to talk about the draft/free agency...soon. But for now, let's finish off this crossover episode between me and Harrison (Locked On Jets). Today, he asked me the million dollar question: Which Devils player (past or present) would I guarantee a spot in the hall of fame? I think everybody knows the answer to that question. Plus, I finally finish off my trilogy story of my featured article in USCHO!My USCHO Article: https://www.uscho.com/2020/09/22/adrian-broadcaster-matthews-erasing-stereotypes-serving-as-inspiration-to-people-of-color/Follow Harrison on Twitter: @HLLivingLocoSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

I first want to congratulate the Tampa Bay Lightning for finishing off the Dallas Stars (Lindy Ruff's old team) in 6 games for the Stanley Cup title. Now on to business, Harrison Lee (Locked On Winnipeg Jets) joins the show for a very compelling crossover episode. In today's episode, we cover two well known New Jersey Devils players and determine whether or not they're hall of fame worthy. There's also another important part for this episode, however that'll be posted in tomorrow's sequel. It involves Patrik Elias...that's all I'll say.

Happy Saturday, everybody! That's right until further notice I have changed up the show's scheduling. Reading my lengthy USCHO article takes a lot of time. So much so, that this storytelling segment might have a chilling three part conclusion episode. Never thought that this sort of thing would carry into so many episodes, but we'll see. Anyways, big plans for next week's line of episodes so STAY TUNED!My USCHO Article: https://www.uscho.com/2020/09/22/adrian-broadcaster-matthews-erasing-stereotypes-serving-as-inspiration-to-people-of-color/Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Well, slow news day for the New Jersey Devils, however I have a couple of stories to share. Recently, I appeared on another New Jersey Devils podcast show titled "Let's Go Devils". It was so much fun to talk about Devils topics with fellow New Jersey fans, we'll discuss more about my appearance on that show in a future episode. Also, I was featured in another article this time it was the United States College Hockey Online (USCHO) that did a story about me. There's even more follow ups and discussions that I need to address in tomorrow's episode, because I ran out of time for this (Spoiler Alert). Also, shout out to Fair Play Detroit for the sports edit graphic of me!My USCHO Article: https://www.uscho.com/2020/09/22/adrian-broadcaster-matthews-erasing-stereotypes-serving-as-inspiration-to-people-of-color/My Appearance on "Let's Go Devils" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmUu8eLXB48&t=4667sFair Play Detroit Edit & Interview: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU7vU-AAuy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

Recently, NBA player, LeBron James, expressed his displeasure of being snubbed of the MVP award. In a post game conference, he didn't mince words, he simply stated, "[The voting process] It pissed me off." So, with me being inspired by his frustration and reasoning, I decided to revisit the 2003 season. A season in which the Devils did win the Stanley Cup, however our goalie, Marty Brodeur, came up short of winning the Conn Smythe award to a Mighty Ducks player (Worth mentioning that was the team we beat in the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals). So, let's see how stats and narrative play out in an MVP voting process.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

As I have stated before, sometimes you have to make fun of the youngsters. In today's episode, I break down an old Jack Hughes interview from July of 2019. Knowing what I know now, I can't help but to give the kid a hard time due to him being a rookie. Also, I will say this, I do not believe Hughes is a bust. Just give him sometime and I am sure he'll be just fine.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection. Reliably low prices. All the parts your car will ever need.

Adam Denker (Locked on Tampa Bay Lightning) and I team up for a crossover episode involving the Stanley Cup Finals. I reassure him that the Lightning are still my pick to win it all ,despite dropping game 1 (This episode was recorded before game 2). We analyze Tampa's full roster, including former New Jersey Devil, Blake Coleman. He also asks me if there's any hope for New Jersey and I give him the same answer that I have been providing for months.Follow of Adam on Twitter: @APDenkerSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar: Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
