Mailbag Episode: New Jersey Devils Prospects Edition...Underrated Players, Arseni Gritsyuk, & More (Ft. Jersey Joe)

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.

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.
