New Jersey Devils Dominated The Boston Bruins & Beat Them in Regulation For The First Time Since 2021...Turning Point?

Man-o-man, I have been waiting for this crossover for quite sometime! Jon Chik (Locked On NY Rangers) joins the show as he and I do a "rivals crossover". Obviously, we had to talk about former Rangers coach, Lindy Ruff, and what do the futures hold for both of our respective teams. In fact, we talked so much, that we had to break this episode up into a two parts. Also, as some of might know, I was featured in a USA Today article involving me being a black hockey play-by-play announcer, along with Everett Fitzhugh (Seattle Kraken's new PxP announcer). If you're curious the link for that article is down below.My USA Today article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2020/08/19/nhls-first-black-team-announcer-krakens-everett-fitzhugh-inspires/3366561001/Follow Jon on Twitter: @JChik17Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.

Well, looks like our #18 overall draft pick from Arizona won't drop below the #28 selection. Because they have been playing like absolute garbage during these playoff series. In their last contest against Colorado (at the time of this recording) they lost 7-1, and it was an absolute s***show. Also, they had some front office drama that involved the Devils.Philadelphia Update: Now up 3-1, not looking good for MontrealSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar: Go to builtbar.com and use promo code “LOCKEDON" to get $10 off your first order.

I purposely posted this episode on Friday, to give you something to think about over the weekend. I need to address another elephant in the room, which is the NHL's social media statements of #KneelForHockey or #WeSkateForBlackLives. I noticed these hashtags during the NHL playoffs, and I have a few questions and also statements that I need to address. As a person of color, I want to provide MY OWN (DISCLAIMER: I CANNOT SPEAK FOR OTHER PEOPLE) personal perspective on these social media hashtags and kneeling in general. My main takeaway: don't let that be the only thing you do. I explain it more in this serious episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I am having a very bad day, I am in no mood, this (today) is one of the worst days I've had in a long time! I'm not in the mood to play with anybody. Well, it's official with the first overall selection in the NHL Draft that pick is going to: Lindy Ruff's former team the New York Rangers! Well, my luck just ran out. I didn't want Toronto to get that pick, never mind our bigger rival obtaining it...I didn't even think about it. I guess that's karma on my end. Jake Krzyzaniak (My first Open Hockey Discussion guest) is back to provide more insight, and also prevent me from going insane!Follow Jake on his social media platforms:Instagram: @jkraider99Snapchat: jkraider99Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Rock Auto: Amazing selection.
