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.

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.

Well, we've heard from Lindy and Marty now let's hear from the man who actually pulled the trigger with this hire: new Devils general manager, Tom Fitzgerald. I personally love the new hire of promoting Fitzy from interim to full-time GM, because I felt like he did a great job in the short time he had and it's well deserved. In this episode, I break down his one-on-one interview with Amanda Stein and I provide you with my personal perspective of all of his answers. Hey, maybe, just maybe, he might change my perspective of the Lindy Ruff hiring (insert shrug emoji).Full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk1XQzrWZoM Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is kind of a follow up from last Friday's. Which is a deeper analysis of a one-on-one interview between former goalie all-star and now New Jersey Devil VP executive, Martin Brodeur, and radio play-by-play announcer, Matt Loughlin, in regards to the hiring of Lindy Ruff. Let's analysis the perspective of a former player turned businessman, as I open my mind to see if Good Ole Marty can change my mind in regards to the "Ruff" decision. Hey, as I say, perspective is everything, so let's give it a shot.Full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsZXQKYiU6wRock Auto: Amazing selection. Reliably low prices.

Okay, okay, I promise this will be the last time that I do a Lindy Ruff title pun, but I just couldn't help myself. Anyways, in this episode I observe and give my personal perspective of Ruff's one-on-one interview with Amanda Stein. I will react to his interview answers either in a positive or negative. I also unfortunately remind everyone as to why hiring Ruff was probably not the best idea in my opinion.Link to the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRS9TpdX0Ik Learn more about your ad choices.
