Alexander Holtz Was Benched Despite Scoring The Game-Tying Goal Against The Montreal Canadiens...Lindy Ruff's Controversial Explanation

When doing these open mic hockey discussions, we're always going to get new perspectives. Whether it be about the NHL or another branch of competitive hockey. And in today's episode Albion College tennis player, Matthew Czarnecki, will give a unique perspective about the great sport of hockey. As a former player, he will describe his hockey playing career at the recreational and travel level, but will also provide some insight about his brother's search for "hockey fame". He takes us into the mind of a player searching to compete at the college and or professional level.Follow Matthew on his social media platforms:Twitter: @MatthewCzarInstagram: @matt_czarneckiSnapchat: matt_czarneckiSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

So, in this episode, we discuss his playing career, the current state of the NHL, and what he's currently up to nowadays.Follow Eric on his social media platforms:Instagram: @eric._lebryk18Snapchat: eric_lebryk5 Learn more about your ad choices.

When your team isn't invited to the NHL playoff bubble, sometimes you have to learn to be adaptable. So, for this week, I am bringing in guest stars to have an open mic discussion about hockey. Some are players, some are fans, but, at the end of the day, they're all connected with the great sport of hockey. In today's episode, I had a discussion with Adrian College's assistant basketball coach, and also NHL fanatic, Jake Krzyzaniak (See? He already has a hockey last name). Jake also repped his New Jersey Devils hat for this discussion! He's always 100% dedicated to do something, that's what I like about him.Follow Jake on his social media platforms:Instagram: @jkraider99Snapchat: jkraider99Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

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.
