I Am Jack's Glass Shoulder

[00:00:05] Hey everyone, Mr. Devil here, Kenny Danico, three-time Stanley Cup champion of the New Jersey Devils And you're listening to The Uncle Puckers NJD Podcast, Let's Go Devils! Well, emergency little episode here boys, you know, figure we're gonna get on and discuss the big news last night

[00:00:33] Apparently, you know, once again, Jack's elbow made out of, or shoulders made out of glass And this is what happens, but before we jump into that, what's up boys, how are you? Well, you know, all things considered, okay During the doom and gloom of last night's game, I had some doom and gloom of my own In the kids' middle school game, playoff game Well, similar results, it was a 4-0 shutout

[00:01:02] This is the first time the team had ever been shut out It's been our seven, so we're alright Yeah, also they Just no goals all around for Team Bobby No goals for Team Bobby No goals And, yeah, they hadn't lost a lot lately They really went on a tear, and then they won their first playoff game convincingly So it was kind of a new thing for them to, you know, remember what it's like to lose But they ran into a juggernaut, dude They ran into a team with, like, structure

[00:01:31] They were on all our guys the minute they touched the puck There was no traction to be had anywhere I felt like I was watching a LaMere 90s team, man It was just, like, blocked at the blue line It was very different And this was a team We're in a developmental league And this was a team that's in the same conference But not developmental So they were one step above But they always re-org So because the team did so well during the season They re-orged and had us play this upper echelon team

[00:02:00] Because we were destroying everybody else But they were not quite ready for that level And it showed But, you know, they played hard But it was fun So I didn't watch the game I saw the score And then I had to, of course, watch the full recap To see what that happened Yeah I mean, I turned the game off Tim and I were texting And it was 2-0 And it was like three minutes left in the game And I just kind of threw to him I was getting ready to go to bed

[00:02:30] I was tired I'm like, if the beginnings of a miracle start happening A.K.A. If they score Let me know And I get a Oh shit Jack's hurt I get that text And I Oh fuck So he sends me the clip And I see it Just really unfortunate I mean, there's no other way to say it I mean, you had mentioned that it looked a little bit like a slew foot It wasn't You know No, it wasn't On second glance I saw people saying that And it's just not It's just

[00:02:59] Jack Toe picked a little bit Eichel was Eichel was going this way Jack was going that way Skates crossed Shit happens That's it Shit happens And it sucks I mean, it really sucks We have zero information right now Other than What Tim, you had shared with us That A report came out that The devils are optimistic That this is not as bad As we originally thought Now, does that still stand true? Yeah, I mean That's what What Gabe Trevino reported

[00:03:28] He's the new Ryan Nobosinski Okay At NJ.com You know I I got rid of my NJ.com subscription Because like I just don't think This guy has any fucking idea What he's talking about Right And yeah It's not worth Ten bucks Without Nobos coverage But Yeah, we don't know Apparently they had the day off today Jack flew back to New Jersey Get a look that It looked bad You know The way he went off It looked bad But You know

[00:03:58] Luke Luke's injury Looked bad The other day too And You know It sucks But Bobby The way you described The youth game That you were at Yeah Almost exactly What happened to us We played an upper echelon team That just stifled us Everywhere we could go Like Vegas' Defensive structure Is just So elite And they have just Monsters Back there Mobile Big Monsters That just get in lanes You can

[00:04:27] It's impossible To get into the inner slot Against this team And We Eventually got some good chances You know It's like What those What Keith keeps saying That's kind of a little bit of lip service But it's true It's like You kind of keep going at it And keep working And keep working at it And eventually stuff Stuff breaks out You know The The Nico Nico Timo Mercer line Actually looks pretty good Mercer finally looks like A legitimate hockey player again You know He's just the ultimate passenger Probably the worst

[00:04:57] Game I've ever seen Jesper Bratt play He was Fucking awful Just downright awful The fourth line Was actually okay But the third line Was terrible So I don't know So we're We're kind of You know I thought we'd Hit rock bottom But oh man We can just We're We're kind of Right under that now Yeah I mean You You hit the nail On the head Last night It was It was a good team Playing a great team Last night And that's That was it It was evident

[00:05:26] Vegas is fantastic But again The shutout Sucks The loss Sucks The on again Off again Win lose Win lose Inconsistency All sucks But The main reason We're here Is because of Jack Right now This is what We need to talk about Now I'm going to say My piece on this So I have a few I First off I'm Disgusted At the fact that Tom Fitzgerald Waits So freaking Long Like if this Was a team

[00:05:56] That was Winning And okay We have to add A piece here Or there I'm fine With waiting But when you Know that your Team needs an Injection of Something that We knew a Month ago And I Completely am Not stupid In the fact Of knowing That yes He probably Couldn't make Anything Happen No trades Happen right now But I just Get frustrated Because he Seems to go Into hibernation This time Every single Year Now Bobby Frodo And he Goes into Hibernation

[00:06:26] And we Don't hear Anything You know Mike Rupp Just around Here Trade deadline Going to be Hard now This year Do we Go in And get Cousins Cousins Could possibly Slot in Jack's Position Now here's A couple Of things If Jack Is going To be Out I do Not Think In any Way Shape Or form Tom Fitzgerald And the Devil Should alter From what Their plan Was At Eight o'clock Last night To now You don't And you Don't Waver from It You are Going out To get Players This is Still a

[00:06:56] Very good Team That needs Help And I Think I don't Know Am I Just looking Through this Through rose Colored glasses Here If Jack Is going To be A week To week Do you LTIR him Make your Trades Free up Eight million Dollars Or I know It's You know Not going To be Eight million But And have Him come Back for The playoffs Healthy Make your Trades And make A run This team

[00:07:25] Now It's Heesher It's Brat It's Timo They have Got to Step up Luke Dougie These guys All have To Offensively Step up And our Bottom Six Has Got it Now It's Shit or Get off The pot Time You don't Have Jack Hughes To bail You out Anymore And you Know I understand A lot Of people Are you Take him Out of The lineup And all Of our Scoring dries Up And but I'm kind Of optimistic We saw This was It last Year I

[00:07:55] Think when He went Out the Team or Two years Ago when He went Out for a Few games And the Team kept Their head Above water They played Really well It seems Like when Nico goes Out everything Falls apart But when Jack goes Out guys Seem to Step up But this Now I'm Looking at Guys like Jesper Bratt It is now Seriously Time for You to Step up And start Scoring goals And you're Right last Night he Had a Terrible Game He did He had A horrible Game and I never You know Can't remember The last Time I saw Him play Like that

[00:08:26] You know I just Think that This could Be I don't Want to say A blessing In disguise Because it's Not It's your Best player Hopefully This is like A one or Two game Thing and He'll be Back But I Don't think You waver At all From the Plan What do You guys Think Yeah I mean I He obviously Has won A plan You know He has He's identified Guys and This is kind Of you know Fits his M.O. He's He's Cautious to A fault You know

[00:08:56] Patient to A fault You know We saw it Last year With the Goalies And the Coach You know The fan Base Generally Has Understands The needs Just you Know Actually Filling those Needs And what The needs Are Are two Different Things And it Can be A little Bit Difficult You know They've Been linked To Jake Evans But is Is Montreal Willing to Actually sell Him Because they've Also been Talking to Him about A potential Extension

[00:09:25] Attention So it's You know There Are A couple You know It's It's Not just I want That guy I want To go Out And get Him Because If you Say that And do That Then you're Overpaying For it Big name Guys Yeah I think We're Yeah And it's Like Bottom Six Guys Though You should Be able To make Some Deals I'm Getting There I'm Getting There I'm Getting Well hurry The fuck Up man There were About a dozen Bottom Six guys That kind Of moved Around The league That we Probably If we Knew Were

[00:09:55] Available Some Of them Were traded For each Other Like the Calgary Flyers Deal Where Frost And Farabee Went To Calgary You know Or Could we Have looked At those Guys I feel Like Fitz Fitz Very much Has tunnel Vision Towards the Guys That he Wants And doesn't Waver Off Of Those Guys And He Always Has A plan A And when Plan A Isn't Kind Of Happening He's Still Trying To Force

[00:10:25] Plan A Like A Fucking Retarded Kid Trying To Put A Square Peg In A Round Hole Can't Say That Anymore Like A Mentally Challenged Kid Trying To Put A Square Peg You Can Say All You Want Like Watching Chris Trying To Third Grade Math But But Dubs Is Like This Could Be An Opportunity For Some Guys To Step Up That Have

[00:10:55] You Know That That Haven't Been You Know Timo It's March Man Like This Is Your Time To Shine Pal Like Like Score Some Fucking That Story For Another Time But To Mike's Point About

[00:11:25] Cousins You Know You Look At Teams Like Buffalo I Could Take Like Four Guys Off Of Buffalo And Insert Them Right Into Our Lineup You Know Like Is There A Large Scale Kind Of Hockey Is Trade With Some Of Our Prospects And Some Of Of Our Roster Players And Some Of The Guys On Buffalo You Look At Pater You Know Those Four Guys For Mercer And Demich And A Whole Shitload Of Picks

[00:11:55] You Know Like Is That A Possibility What About Seattle With Bukestad And McCann And Yanni Gord You Know There Are Tons Of Options For Throwing Mahara As A Lefty To Replace Seekenteller So There Are Teams Like That That I Think There Are Options I Just Don't Know What Fitz Is Doing You Know He's Gone I Put This Joke In My Blog But He's Gone He's Gone Lewdark 30 Lewdark Yeah It Wasn't A Well

[00:12:24] First Of All We Don't Know The Extent Of It But Like You Said Say This Is Long Term Like At Least We Got 20 Games Left Yep To Me Long Term Is Anything Approaching Half Of Them Or More Right Including Possibility Of Him Coming Back Just For The Playoffs I Would Continue To Drive For

[00:12:54] The

[00:15:03] Josh

[00:15:33] Absolutely

[00:19:05] They had some retention. And Tomas Hurdle as well. And Hurdle there was retention on too. So there are guys out there, you know, like we – and I hope that they do that and bring in some big money players and say, fuck it, we'll figure it out over the summer. You know, we have – you know, buy out Palat, man. Like buy out Hala. The one thing that hasn't changed is our goaltending is solid,

[00:19:32] but our defense is solid and we still have, you know, a decent top six even without Jack in it, at least four of them. And you got to just swing for the fucking fences at this point. Like, I mean, look, this is all for naught if Jack's going to be back against Winnipeg on Thursday night or whenever that game is. You know, then it's all for naught. But if this is something that, okay, it could be – at all week to week. I say you throw his ass on LTIR.

[00:19:59] And you get the money and you just go spend like a fucking spoiled rich kid in Vegas and bring in some players and take a shot. That's what I would like to see this team do. If we got some big scorer who can put up numbers while he's done and if Jack's supposed to be out for any, like I said, six, seven, ten games, yeah, just shut him down then. Get this guy to keep our heads above water and then bring Jack in at the end. I think it'd be great. Oh, I mean, listen, I prefer Jack be on the team as quickly as possible, of course.

[00:20:29] But if that's not the reality, this is all the more reason. And we've got something to post there too about, yeah, next year's cap. I mean, we've got even more money to work with. So let's find some people. I don't think this is the end of the world at all. No, I don't either. The sky is falling kind of fucking attitude here. Now, this was, you know, Markstrom out for the year, Nico out for the rest of the year. I think we can survive without Jack. I mean, it's not going to be easy.

[00:20:56] But these, like I said before, everyone in that dressing room has got to, to a man, look at themselves and say, it's time for us to actually step up and earn our fucking paycheck. Because our whole bottom six has not earned their goddamn paychecks all year. And, you know, this, you know, the whole offense really revolves around Jack. Right. And it may be good for some things to happen. Like first power play, right? Brat, you assume slides into that Jack kind of number one puck carrier, puck dominant guy. And we get Timo on it. And you get Timo on power play one.

[00:21:26] And he's probably going to light the fucking goddamn world on fire. And I'm going to point at everybody and be like, what the fuck? Where was that? So there's a lot that can go on. But, you know, it would be great to see Holla be 80% of what he used to be. At least he's just an absolute shell of himself. Like I said, I thought the fourth line was okay. But we just can't run out Justin Dowling anymore in any sort of significant minutes. The fact that this guy has played 50-plus games, something like that.

[00:21:55] Like I said, you know, there's been a dozen guys come and go on waivers. You know, Brandon Saad and Daniel Sprong. Frost and Farabee and whoever they traded. Kuzminco, I think, from Calgary. Like there's been guys available. And I think that's why Fitz gets kind of slightly autistic about the guys that he wants and won't waver from that. I'd really love to be a fly in the room to figure out what he does.

[00:22:20] But I don't think – the one thing I disagree with that a lot of people imply is that Fitz is somehow on vacation or sleeping or he's asleep at the wheel. I said hibernating. Yeah, like you. Like assholes like you that don't know what the fuck they're talking about. He's in rare form tonight. We must have a bigger audience than normal. Well, there's only seven. Seven's good. I'm one of those because I'm watching the chat.

[00:22:51] And Mike makes a good point. You know, the cap's going to be blown up over the next couple of years. Yeah. Look, I have – I'm like completely lukewarm on Tom Fitzgerald right now. I am. Because this is where GMs earn their money. I mean, this is a team that you believed right up until this week that this team can make a run. All the reports coming out that Tom Fitzgerald's going to go for it at the deadline.

[00:23:21] He's going to, you know, load this team up and hope to make a nice long playoff run. That should not – I mean, whether or not this team can do it, I just don't know if we have the pieces. I really don't. One of the funniest analogies I saw on Twitter, Christy Flannery was the Hockey News Double B reporter. Yeah. Said, you know, Fitz has been one of the most active GMs at the deadline. Elliott Friedman said the same thing.

[00:23:48] It's like, all right, you know, like these guys are carrying water for Fitz right now. But one of the funniest responses, and I forget who said it. I think it might have been – I think it might have been actually Jack of Heart or the guy who was cast for a rat for a while. Said Fitz is like the guy that talks to every chick at the bar but doesn't pull the trigger on any of them and winds up going home with a fat girl. Yep. Yep. And we get – if we get Palmieri, that's the fat girl. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

[00:24:16] You've been mentioning like Brock Nelson would be a great fit right now. You know, just thinking about slotting him in that role. I mean, he's a hell of a center. Yeah, he's nowhere near what Jack Hughes is. But if you put him on that line and you get, again, somebody to replace Andre Pallat, because last night it was so evident. This guy cannot, should not be in a top six role. He's a bottom six dude now. Bobby, I know you're getting joy out of this because you've been saying it forever.

[00:24:45] But, yeah, he's got to get back down, slot him properly, and hopefully we can see some production without all of the you're on the top line pressure. And go – like you said, go get Brock Nelson. That's not going to be much to get Nelson. We've made deals with the Islanders before when they were – where we are now. You know, we gave them – they got Zajac. They got Palmieri. We can get Brock Nelson and probably get him for not a lot. Try to talk to what you said, to Buffalo, a guy like Cousins.

[00:25:15] If you didn't get Nelson, talk. I mean, there's so many guys out there. So, I just think – I just think you've got to pull the trigger. Like, I mean, come on. Nothing's going to change from now until Friday. Just fucking doing it. We've been so bad for so long. It was a long fucking rebuild, man. We had that one little appearance in the playoffs. And then we had our – you know, then another gap in the record-breaking season. Then we missed it last year. You're in a playoff spot right now.

[00:25:43] You've got to keep that playoff spot, and you've got to go for it. We've seen worse teams than us get hot in the playoffs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, before we jump into anything else – what is this here? New teams know that we're desperate for help. They obviously demand more. Yeah. I mean, yes, you're right. And I read something about – somebody on Pucks and Pitchforks wrote an article like, Fitzgerald needs to stop showing his hand. Like, anybody who – if three idiots like us do a podcast and for the last four months,

[00:26:12] three months are going, we need a 3C and we need a winger with Jack, like, trust me, the whole league knows it. So I don't buy too much into that. Like, yeah, maybe we'll pay a little bit more. But if you have to to get the guys you want, because we've discussed it a million times, the entire Eastern Conference, with the exception of maybe three or four teams, believe that they're, you know, in this race. So are they going to be buying two?

[00:26:39] Or, you know, is there six teams that are all in on one guy? Well, if you have the assets to move them more than anybody else, it doesn't matter. You've got to give up an extra draft pick. Fucking do it. At this point, you've got to – Almost always pays more. It's got to be a pretty rare example where you actually won that trade because you're doing exactly that. You're trying to buy. You don't want to go that route, then you save it for the offseason and you look more for, like, equal value trades. That's not what you're doing this time of year. Right.

[00:27:06] And if, like, Jake Evans goes from a third rounder to a second rounder, who gives a fuck? You know, it's not going to go from third rounder to Simon Nemich, like, except in the delusional land of Habs fans. You know, that's just – That's just, you know, maybe a little bit, but also as the deadline gets closer, more sellers also get desperate to unload the guys that they need to unload. They're expiring contracts. There are FAs that they're going to get rid of. The UFAs that they're going to get rid of. They don't want to lose guys for nothing.

[00:27:35] They don't want to lose guys for nothing. Yeah, it's asset management. And I think, you know, that's some of what Fitz is doing too is, you know, it's saying, like, well, okay, like, you know, I want McCann and Bjorkstrand, but I also – can I get Tuck and Paterka? And I have Nemich in a second and a first to offer. And, you know, these guys want Casey in a second and a first. And what deal is better? Right. So, you know, there's – there are ways as a buyer to kind of play, I think, these guys off each other.

[00:28:05] And I think the closer you get to the deadline, the more desperate sellers get, but also the more desperate buyers get. So, I don't know. We'll see. Like, the verdict's out for me on Fitz. I don't have a lot of confidence in him right now. We've had clear needs for two months now, and this team has been circling the drain for two months. And I just don't like how he approaches, I build it in the offseason and I build this family, and then I'll tinker at the deadline. You know, it's like we get – we are getting Vezina caliber goaltending.

[00:28:35] And probably have the best decor we're going to have three years from – three years from now and three years before now. Like, having this defense and goaltending, we can't sacrifice this season just because prices are a little bit high. And there's always this belief that you have to play up to, like, your hockey card, right? You know, if the guys all just did what they're capable of doing, you know, we'd get out of this mess. But – and how long can you carry that before you say, well, they're not doing what they're doing. So, simply change some shit.

[00:29:05] Yeah. I mean, I would much prefer a GM that does have the mindset of if you're not producing, you're not here. And, you know, maybe that's reckless. But, you know, Tom Fitzgerald is the polar opposite of that. There's a difference between – yeah, there's a difference between a cold streak over a month and then this happening for two months. Right. And being – this has been a long enough sample size to realize that Eric Holla shouldn't be playing hockey for the Devils anymore. It's a long enough sample size to realize that Andre Palat should not be

[00:29:35] playing on Jack's wing anymore. It's a long enough sample size to realize that Justin Dowling should not be getting NHL minutes. It's a long enough sample size to realize that Thomas Tatar is better served up in the lineup or on waivers. Nate Bashin, there is a sub-replacement level player. It's – there's just so many things wrong with this team that I think are fixable. And from a volume perspective, it's much easier to fix the forward group than it is the defensive group.

[00:30:04] We have such a good defensive core and such good goalies that – that tinkering with the forward should not be that difficult. I mean, we know Buffalo's out of it. Mike Wright's Cousins is the play. He's young enough and can be a stud third-line center. I like – I mean, I would be over the moon if it was, you know, Nemich and whatever heading up to Buffalo for Cousins and Tuck. And then you could maybe do something with the Islanders and get Brock Nelson in to fill in.

[00:30:32] And now you have no room for hollow when Jack gets back. And that's fine. You know, if you – you know, that's fine. He can sit up in the press box and watch the playoffs. But that would make our – you know, then, I mean, you're talking about a center depth of Nico Heischer, Jack Hoos, Dylan Cousins, and Brock Nelson. Yeah. I mean, holy shit. I mean, that could work. That could really work. I think, you know, that's – you put Jack on LTIR and you get him back for the playoffs. You know, again, we're just all speculatory.

[00:31:02] We have no idea what's wrong with his shoulder right now. What's not speculatory is DraftKings and the Hockey Podcast Network are wonderful sponsors here at the Uncle Fuckers. And it might not feel like it – I don't even know if I should be reading this one, but they didn't tell me that I have a new one to read, so I'm going to read this one.

[00:32:27] So, I mean, like I said, I mean, I know how bad this whole thing looked. And, you know, I just – I don't – I just – it sucks. But I think that this could – maybe this is crazy. But this could be the best thing to happen to this team. This team that has been Jacku-centric for all year. Everybody defers to Jack.

[00:32:52] And I think that it does stymie some offensive production from some other guys. So I'm really curious to see if the rest of these dudes can step up. It's a story that's been written before. We're not the first team to lose your flashy star forward. And then the team kind of galvanizes, pulls it together, gets a little more structure. Whatever it is, it certainly happened. Right. And, again, I'm with you. I just don't think it's the end of the world. I don't prefer it. I want Jack back. I want him in the playoffs.

[00:33:19] But the way this team's been playing, hopefully it is a spark. It has to be a spark, doesn't it? Like how can you, to a man, walk in the room and not realize I'm picking up my game one way or the other? Well, this is – you know, that's the question though, right, Bob? What's the feeling in the dressing room? Is it that? Is it that galvanizing? Or is it we're fucking done? I mean, now we don't have 86. We can't do anything. We're done. Blah, blah, blah. One of the – oh, nice. I'm frozen again. Cool.

[00:33:48] Yeah, but you're frozen with a nice smile on your face. You look happy. I look kind of handsome there. I don't know about that. I said happy. All right there, chid music. One of the worst things that I heard was I guess Luke was like so emotional. Yeah. That they had to pull the press out of the room. It's like, come on, man.

[00:34:16] It's like you're a professional athlete about to make $9 million a year. He didn't die on the fucking ice. I know. He didn't hit the boards and get terminal cancer. He's hurt. Like, come on. It's okay, Luke. I realize you're a sensitive boy, but relax. I don't know. I was just making fun of Luke. Poor kid. I do want to bring up something outside of the Devils.

[00:34:46] And you guys were sharing the Matt Rempe hit from last night. And once again, did the Rangers win that game? Does anyone know? Did they lose? Did they win? I don't know. I don't even know. Honestly, I don't even think about it. I don't even fucking think about the Rangers anymore. They're so irrelevant to me. Like, actually, my last blog, like, I kind of forgot to make fun of Valaket at the end because, like, I don't think about them at all. Yeah, you have to do that because that's a lot of fun.

[00:35:15] I just want to see if the Rangers. They did lose. They did lose, huh? No, I said I feel like I saw that they lost, but you're obviously having a hard time pulling up your score, so I'll pull that up. Well, they gave me the Texas Rangers fucking score. That's not what you're looking for? Not at all. Let's see. Oh, no. They showed them out for nothing. Okay. So, that's – anyway, that's two shutouts in a row, huh?

[00:35:42] I think they shut out the team before them, who they played before. Let's see. No, that was the Maple Leaf game that they lost. But, anyway, so Matt Rempe with the elbow, chicken wing somebody. And I just have to say all this stuff about, you know, these Matt Rempe apologists out there. And I put this out on X before.

[00:36:08] I was like, I think there comes a time where even the apologist, you just have to stop and realize that the dude is a dirty fucking player. There's nothing else. It's not because he's big. It's because he's reckless and he's dirty. That is why he fucking does the shit he does. Remtard. Where'd you go, Mike? Yes, he is a fucking goon.

[00:36:37] And I like Remtard a lot. I really think that we're stealing Remtard from Mike Ruff here. That's just fucking beautiful. But, yeah, enough of this. And, I mean, Sarah Palin should just go fuck the dude right now. I mean, the love that she has for the Remtard. It's mind-boggling. She's like, I thought her vice presidential campaign really showed her fucking ignorance and stupidity. This takes the fucking cake.

[00:37:06] To her whole, I'm from Alaska. I know hockey stick is like so old when you're going to defend this guy the way she does. It's just, it's enough. Just shut up. Oh, yeah. I watched Mystery Alaska. I know about enough. And I know who Jeremy Swayman is and Scott Gomez. That's Alaskan hockey. Like, just because it's cold doesn't mean hockey is like the greatest thing there. Shut the fuck up. I didn't even know that Swayman was from Alaska. He is indeed. Yeah. Yeah. Bobby's ex-girlfriend is from Alaska. Oh. How about that?

[00:37:36] Ex, ex, ex. Well, your college girlfriend was from Alaska. One of. Not like I only had one. Yeah. Okay. She was the only one that it was even worth even talking about. So. No, but it's so funny because she's dating Ron Duguay, which is just a hilarious, hilarious lineup. I guess that's why she's all in on Rangers Twitter now. It's pretty funny. Anyway. So, anyway.

[00:38:04] Like, you can see the video of him coming in and his arm is just out. Ready to. Ready. Locked and loaded. It's like, man, you got to tuck that elbow. Like, they're coming for you. You can. You can lay big hits. You can. Like. Well, we saw Sillyad do it in that clip that's been throwing around social. We did. You know, he's as big as Rempey and he knows how to play. I cannot wait for this kid to get into his lineup. He's an actual giant out there. Oh, my God. I cannot wait for this kid.

[00:38:33] So, is there any chance he's going to be next year or no? I don't know. I think his contract. I don't know if anybody in the chat, Mike Ruff might know. But I think he has one more year in his Russian contract and then come over. So, it may be a couple years until we see him, which I guess is fine. You know, he'll come over when, you know, he'll come over when we sign Quinn to the left side will be Luke Quinn and Salive. Well, we can't.

[00:39:03] You know, right now, Luke is the only fucking Hughes brother that's playing. So, yeah. I mean, these guys, I love them. But they are. They're made of fucking glass. I am. Yeah. It's tough when our best players, you know, clocks in at a buck 60 probably tops. You know. You can get everything in the gene pool. You know what I mean? If you're going to win that kind of gene pool lottery and have that kind of talent, eh, you're going to be a little. Yeah. It's like God came down. It's like, I will bless your kids with magic feet.

[00:39:33] Oh, cool. Yeah. And we will bless your kids with rubber band shoulders. But not Luke. Luke's a fucking stud. Apparently, but your youngest, I will give size and I will give strength and I will make him an emotional mess every time something bad happens on the ice. I mean. Dude, that. So that Nico's first goal against Utah.

[00:40:00] Utah, that move that Luke pulled off at the blue line, like that was, that was like serious Quinn Hughes type shit. Like I don't just, when he like kind of lost 40 post during games. Often. That one move made me light up a few posts about how critical that was and how that's just really is above what most defenders are comfortable doing at all. Like he doesn't very well. Doesn't have confidence in how good he is.

[00:40:30] Sometimes. Like he doesn't trust his play sometimes. I think that's why he's always deferring to other people a lot, especially on the power play and things like that. Like, no, dude, do it yourself. You're capable. You can do it. And you know, fuck you, Jobu. I do it myself. That's what I want to see. But I think that'll come. You know, his confidence will be there. I think he's going to be an amazing player. Yeah. But this is also another time for him.

[00:40:58] You know, this is time for Luke to step up now. Yeah. And I think that's an underrated thing. And I, I, I meant to bring this up, but it's kind of, you know, I touched on it when I talked about the scoring issues that I was noticing a couple months ago. And, you know, I hate to say I was right about everything, but it was, um, our decor knows your fucking tennis. Yeah. Something like that. And if you'd see my face right now, you'd know, you know, I was being, being, being a wise ass. We can never see your face anymore, Tim. Yeah. You can't get a read.

[00:41:28] Just look at that handsome smile. Um, his, uh, is our decor. Like we get zero production out of our decor. Like there's, there's next to nothing coming out of those guys. You know, you got Dougie, like, I think our, our second leading defensive score is Seamus Casey, um, goal wise, you know, but then like Lazar and Hala have less goals than Jonas Siegenthaler does in 2025. So it's, it's like, it's so bad.

[00:41:58] The drop-off is so bad below. So there's, it says a lot of fucking work to do, man. He's got to fix this shit. I have to ask Mike Ruff a question. Um, it might be hard to type it out, but I'm very curious because you're out there in Vancouver. How did you become a devil fan, dude? Like, I'm just really curious about that. I love hearing how people outside of this area. Did you move there? Were you born there? Yeah. Yeah. It was just, I wanted to pick a team and the devils were cool.

[00:42:27] I'm curious. So, you know, if you want to just throw a little short answer out. He's going to go in sports. With the devils? And the best name. Oh, he grew up. Okay. That's a good enough reason. Where in Jersey did you grow up? Next question. What's your social security number? Yes. What's your last four digits of your primary? Yeah. Can you put your bank card info in the chat? Thanks. Listen, Mike, it's not really a Patreon account. We're just going to take whatever the fuck we want. So just throw it on up there.

[00:42:56] Mike's the only one left. Thank you. Did anybody watch? Nobody watched the North Jersey. That's fucking great. That was good. We should get Mike on as a video one of these days. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Like you said, he is the only one still on. Or at least still posting. But I was going to...

[00:43:24] Did anybody watch the Elimination Chamber this weekend? No? Nobody? Oh, my God. Are you talking about John Cena going heel? I wasn't going to bring it. I wasn't talking about that. But, yeah, that was pretty awesome. Mike Ruff's your guy for that. He watched that over the Devils game. He'll talk all about it. I was not expecting Cena to turn heel, but I'm happy about the heel turn. I think it's pretty cool. It's different. It's fresh.

[00:43:49] But I have to give a shout out to our girl, Jersey girl, Liv Morgan, who absolutely stole the freaking show in the Elimination Chamber match. She was phenomenal. Oh, fuck you. She was phenomenal. So a shout out to our Jersey girl, Liv. She was just getting late. I got a serious question for you. I know you've never let this stuff go, right? I'm going to hop out and come back in really quickly. What the hell happened to the WWE?

[00:44:19] And what I mean by that is like when we were growing up, right, at least you had guys that were trying to convince you back in the day that the shit was absolutely unscripted. I'm not going to say it isn't real because we know they take a pounding. Like that shit actually hurts. Right. But it was scripted. It was a story. And for a very long time, they tried to hide behind that. Yes. Then you had kind of the next wave, like the rock and stone cold. That to me, that whole group really felt like this was an art to them.

[00:44:48] As much as like an actor, you know, really says this defines me who I am. This new class, like whatever these, it's awful. My kid loves it. I can't stand it. Who do you not like? I don't like any of it. You know that I just, listen, everything seems so pulled back. The punches, the hits are so far from, oh God. Yeah. I'm sorry. Maybe you see it. There are a lot of, a lot of guys in the WWE.

[00:45:18] I like WWE. I like the next shit he's watching. Maybe it's the up and comers that I'm seeing that they're like, it's just, look, there's quality. You watch. And I agree with Mike that yes, the storylines have been great since triple H took over. That's number one. Number two, they have the wrestlers that they have now. The guys like, I don't want to put rock and scene and stone cold up there. Cause they were phenomenal, especially in their heyday,

[00:45:47] but take most of the other guys that were undercard guys and stuff back then. Couldn't hold a candle to everybody in this fucking. On, on this, uh, in this locker room right now, they are all phenomenal wrestlers. Now your thing is doesn't really look real or, you know, it does. Yeah. I'm used to seeing Nick Foley get smacked to shit. And now I'm seeing these fans. I feel like I'm watching Rocky four. WWE punches are coming close, but they're not really hitting you. WWE doesn't allow blood anymore. Well,

[00:46:16] they didn't back now that Vince is gone and the rock and Dana white have taken over. They are getting more into that now. Um, like bringing back some blood and using it sparingly. Um, so the headshots with chairs and stuff are now prohibited. You can't do that anymore because of all the shit we know about CTE and stuff like that. So they don't do all the extreme shit that they used to, but they do some really extreme shit. I just, I'll tell you this.

[00:46:44] If you want to go on Peacock tonight, excuse me, watch, watch the first match of the elimination chamber, which was the women's elimination chamber match. Watch that. Watch what happens to live Morgan in that match and tell me that she's not tough as fucking nails. And then watch, then watch the unsanctioned match between Sammy Zane and Kevin Owens. And I think your attitude or your opinion of it will change. If you watch those two, um,

[00:47:14] I see like they get one little punch and then their days for like, well, it's called. It's less about the fighting and more about the stories. The fight script is so pre-choreographed in a way. They're trying to do very specific moves that there's no just kind of reaction anymore. It doesn't look like a fight to me anymore. It's how I wrestle my kid. Oh, I smacked you in the head. He's all like, Oh, pin me. It's all telegraphed a lot.

[00:47:44] You froze. You froze. Good. You were trying to, you're trying to fuck with me. Good for you. And that was something Mike's brought up something that Cody did. Cody Rhodes did last at the elimination chamber. I haven't never heard anybody say the F word during a WWE event. And he told rock to go fuck himself at the elimination chamber. That was pretty awesome in front of 35,000 crazy screaming Canadians. Um, but yeah, I, I, I love it. I still enjoy it.

[00:48:11] I don't watch every raw and every SmackDown and every AD, AW dynamite anymore. I try to, and I watch every premium event though. I love watching like Nexus WrestleMania. I'm jacked for WrestleMania. It should be great. Uh, especially a heel Cena going into it should be good. So now that I got my wrestling out of my system, cool. I guess we could talk hockey. Yeah. Tim, did you freeze again? Yes. Are you there, Tim? He's not there.

[00:48:41] He's no audio, Tim. Nothing. I got nothing from Tim. All right, Tim bounce out and do this thing again. If you can, God damn, his internet sucks. Fucking Maryland. I'm going to get rid of them and give them a hint to get off and do it again. Um, let's see. If Tim freezes the same amount as remtard elbows, people in the head. That's great. I mean, look, I just, I'm so anxious though.

[00:49:11] Like that's my thing right now. Like I'm so anxious to get a fucking, I thought today was going to be the day. I really thought today was going to be the day that some trades were going to be made. Um, and internet issues again. Yes, Tim, we know. Um, I really thought today would be the day that they would go and make some trades. You're, you got the day off. You got one more road game and do it. Um, but again, nothing's done. Nothing. I don't think anything's going to get done until Friday. Yeah. At this pace,

[00:49:40] that's what it seems like. He's really taken that, you know, that Lou philosophy of when you have time, use it thing to the extreme. And I just think he's going to wait for every last bullet to land his way before he goes to plan B. Like I said, on the last show, if we find out like Alex talk and, you know, Jake Evans and whoever else gets traded to other teams, I want to be pissed. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. So like, like the first guy that I was like,

[00:50:08] why didn't we could have put together that package was, um, Grandland. Yeah. I was like, we could have easily matched that package. I don't get it. I don't know if that was more of a cap thumb for Cody CC or not, but, um, yeah, but, but like, you know, I said before, like, like we, maybe we should go after a depth D just for depth, but like, those are the most valuable trade chips at the time. Like the most valuable pieces that guys go after. Like the only issue we have competitively from,

[00:50:37] from a trade perspective is there are probably like six or seven teams looking for a two, three C right now. Like Toronto's looking for one. Winnipeg is looking for one. Um, we're looking for one. So, um, so that, that's potentially going to be, going to be a hang up. So I don't know much about like Winnipeg's farm system and stuff like, but I, I can't think that there's too many teams in the NHL that have more to offer than we do right now. I don't think, I don't think there are like,

[00:51:07] we're, you know, we are in a very good space from an asset perspective, but I think it's a Fitz has got to stop hoarding them. You know, we have like, we keep talking about it. We have, we got shit like fucking just piled up to the ceiling. It's just a hoarder of everything. Yeah. It's like, he's got this porch with just like all of his kids, old school books, just sitting next to him off camera. I see what you're doing there. I know what you're doing there. I can show you all.

[00:51:35] There's probably a cat litter box somewhere around there. There most definitely is, but there's no poop in it. I clean it. Did you guys, did you guys watch, um, watch any of the, the Shane Gillis skits from Saturday night live? No, I didn't watch any of it. the one of them was fucking hysterical. It was probably going to be like an all time skit is like a, like a husband in the doldrums. And it was like, you know, not communicating with your wife or not enjoying, you know, your kids.

[00:52:05] And then it's like, that's like, here's a couple of beers. It is so funny. Yeah. But then the, uh, a little bump. It's funny. Cause that, that couple of beers, it's just like a really big, I buy beers that size. 32. I can't remember the last time I had a beer. Oh my God. I'm in my house. No, I, uh, I live in New Jersey, so I can partake in other things,

[00:52:34] not marijuana related. Like my gummies. Which I'm about to keep right now. I mean, I'll call it a new sponsorship. Yeah. That's what I love to do. Pennsylvania is good for that too. Are you legal in Pennsylvania? Pretty sure. I think most of them. What about Maryland? No. Yeah. Maryland definitely is. There's a dispensary right down the street. It's just the internet. That's illegal in Maryland. Mike's like, Mike's like, you motherfuckers. The weed's been legal in Canada for the last 10 years. I know.

[00:53:05] We are so like, like the, the liberal party in Canada makes our, our democratic party look fucking like Republican. Yeah. go ahead. No, no, no, it's just some of those, it's just some of those, you know, you can like, or hate Shane Gillis or whatever, but I think he's actually pretty funny. But, um, some of, some of his sketches were, were absolutely hysterical. Um, they did one, they did one where they, um, it was him and a,

[00:53:33] and a blonde white newscaster and then a black female newscaster and a black guy newscaster. And they were talking about different stories and, uh, and it kind of devolved into them keeping score of like who the bad guys were basically. My favorite thing on Saturday night live on the weekend update is when Colin Yost and, um, Michael Chey, Michael Chey. Michael Chey. Yeah. And they, they write each other jokes before they can fucking read them. Oh God. It is hysterical. When he,

[00:54:02] Bobby go on YouTube and just type that in and watch some of them. It's so frigging funny. Now the other one doesn't have a clue what's about coming up and they have to read it. And it's usually like racist and offensive shit that you don't ever want to say. It's so fucking funny. Michael, Michael Chey's reactions are hilarious. He's like, Jesus, Colin. That was terrible. I got to, um, ask about, uh, what's his name? Great. Gris. Like the, the, the, uh, great. Yeah. The Russian kid. Yeah.

[00:54:31] Is he a potential chip? I think so. I think him and Lenny. How many. Oh, those are two, two best prospects. We've got this slain kid that's playing for Arizona state. That was kind of bounced around a little bit. And he's actually having a pretty good season. This, uh, uh, kid, Matt. Yes. Milovsky. I think his name is that you guys thought I made up that I went out of my way. I was just about to say, you're making shit up again. Not a, not a made up. I think this one, I think that one's really divided by the fan base.

[00:55:00] That I made that up or not. No, no, no. We know that's fake. You always make shit up. No, grit soup or whatever. He's, I think from what I see, like a lot of the fans are, you're, I, I, I, you know, we, we look at, I don't want to get rid of them. The little bit that I've seen, I've been so excited to see him in Jersey. These guys, like, I want to see him, him in homony. Ho next year in New Jersey. But if it, we can bring in like a tuck or Paterka or McCann or a Raquel or a Bukestad. Like,

[00:55:29] and one of those guys goes the other way. I'm not going to lose any fucking sleep over that. Like, and I will say something like speaking of prospects, I think Nemec has actually prayed pretty well the past couple of games. He's been, he's gotten, he's gotten incrementally better. And I feel like the fan base kind of jumped the, jumped the ship a little bit too quickly on him. And I am kind of leaning more towards, maybe we look and move Kovacevich. Yeah. You know,

[00:55:56] he's been in pretty steep decline now that Siegenthaler, Siegenthaler is gone. But if we get Siegenthaler back for the playoffs, then we have that Siegenthaler, Kovacevich shutdown pair, which I think isn't something we should, we should poo poo. So. I'm going to say it before we do Bobby's game. Oh yeah. And we'll wrap up with that. I just, the one thing I am going to say, like if, if Jack is out for long period, we have that LTIR money and we can get Sieg's back. We can get Jack back.

[00:56:25] We can go out and pick up two, maybe three guys before Friday and really set this team. And then come playoff time, those two guys come back in. I will be over the moon. I will feel so good about our chances going forward. But if it's a fucking Kyle Palmieri and that's all we get and nothing is, you know, done in Jack's out longterm, then I wouldn't be shocked if we end up on the outside again, looking in. And if we don't make the playoffs, if we don't make the playoffs this year,

[00:56:54] Tom Fitzgerald's better lose his fucking job. Yeah. I, that's, I completely agree with that. Like I'm, I'm right in the middle on Fitz right now, but if, if he fucks this up, like I'm out on him, this is probably a bad time to remind everybody that we've said on multiple occasions earlier this year in the off season, that if the devils don't make the playoffs, we're no longer going to be the uncle poppers. Yeah. I'm not saying. We're going to change our name. No, we said we were going to stop. We're like, how are we going to do this shit? If they don't actually make the playoffs this year. Oh, we're going to keep going. Chris,

[00:57:24] Chris and Mike are going to start a uncle puckers wrestling podcast. Look, they're not missing the playoffs. It's not going to happen. All right. I'm sorry. I don't, I don't think it's, it's even in the, I'm not saying they're going to end up in the top three. It might be a wild card spot, but they're going to make the playoff. Like, like we play, we play Columbus twice. I think either next week or the week after we win those two games. We're fine. Yeah. Like that's like, I don't see this team fully collapsing to the point where,

[00:57:53] where we just don't make the playoffs. Like it's almost mathematically impossible. So then we got all another impossible coming up. That's good. That's good to know. Job security. Yes. Job. Bobby, why don't you, all right. So this one is for, yes, bluejack. I'm sorry, real quick. I just want to, yes, the blue jackets are punching above their weight class. I agree with that. And, but that's a dangerous team and they scare me a little bit. And I'm real curious to say, I mean, look, we played, we outplayed the shit out of them last time.

[00:58:23] And we're as Lincoln's just stole the game. So can we do that again? And like you said, but you, you know, the next two you're talking Dallas and Winnipeg. I mean, those are fucking brutal. So yeah, I mean, it's going to be a tough stretch, but I do still believe in a lot of the guys on this team. So Bobby, please explain your game. All right. So we've only played this once. And again, for anybody online, this, we want you to participate in the chat and you guys do it in the chat too. So we'll, we'll slide everybody answering. You remember that? Yes. So we've only played this game once so far. And once we did it,

[00:58:52] we realized that this is one of the ones we want to do when we actually have people live on. And if anybody listens to the devil, you know, you know how we play that game. This one's a little different. This one, we're going to pick the devil season that I'm talking about. And unlike the devil, you know, where you get three answers and it's first one to win. This is, you only get to answer once. That's why it's in the chat. You're going to answer the year that you think we're talking about. And you're going to answer it by the season end year. So like the devil's only cup in 1995,

[00:59:22] that's 1995, the 94, 95 season. You just call it 1995. It's 10 total questions. There's eight pretty vague ones and two layups. And you decide at what point you want to actually put your one and only answer in the chat. Now the pucker screwed this up. Last time we did it, you guys just kept throwing dates. You get one time that you can enter it. So you may kind of think, you know, it early like question five,

[00:59:48] but you might also tip somebody else off to the fact that whatever it was, who maybe isn't knowing. So you got to kind of decide when you want to. So how many guesses, how many guesses do we get? You get one. Yes. God damn it. One. See, there goes Chris. No, I'm sorry. I can't keep guessing. Oh, no, I did 2002 and 2022. And we have the timestamp here. Right. And winner is the person who gets the year first or is the closest.

[01:00:17] And for the guys playing at home, we're using the honor system here. So don't be a douche and start Googling this shit. It's way more fun to just kind of, unless we can't fucking get it, then Google it. Who cares? Yeah. I'm just getting back to seeing some of the comments in the chat that Tim freezes the same amount as a remtart. most people's in the head. Yeah. We read that one while you were off. There's always going to be a winner because you don't have to get it right. At the end, it's whoever's closest. Oh, okay. Always have a winner.

[01:00:46] We might take the winner each time and put them in some kind of crazy ass fucking prize closet and we'll get something at the end of the year. So everybody ready to play? Ready. That's ready to play. Now the listeners are a little bit behind us. So if there's a tie, they're going to get it. Got it. All right. In this season, we scored 242 goals, which was good for 18th in the league in a year where the highest amount of goals scored was three 14. by the senators.

[01:01:17] And the lowest was one 97 by the blues. Our road record this year was sub NHL 500 coming in at 19, 16 and six or 19 wins and 22 losses. And six ties. Yeah. The most assists on the team 51 belong to a forward.

[01:01:46] But the second most on the team 48 belong to a defenseman. And Chris, no, 3046 has not happened yet. Nor has it. There's 2089, but put that into one of our year in that I'm waiting to hit enter on, but I'm one of our most notable shutdown centers was a minus seven. This year. The devils were still in the Atlantic division.

[01:02:16] We were first in the division with 101 points tied with Philly, but we won the tiebreaker. We're having one more actual win. We swept our first round opponent in the playoffs that year. Now that's the eight questions. Now these two are the layups. So here's where you got to decide when to put your answer in. Chris, Chris guest, I guess. Okay.

[01:02:46] That's again, it doesn't matter yet. Chris guest. Brian Gionta scored 48 goals. Mike rough gas too. And we lost to the eventual Stanley cup champions in round two. God damn it. We're games to one. We lost to the eventual cup champions in the second round. Yes. Four games to one.

[01:03:17] Yes. I think DJ's got it. We have. I think DJ's right. 2003 is wrong. Chris at 2003 is wrong. Tim at 2005. That was the beginning of the year. DJ Campbell is correct. 2000. Nice. There you go, DJ. Nice, DJ. Wait a second, wait a second. I meant, I meant 05, 06. I clearly explained the rules. It's the tail end of the year. All right. You got to put down that DJ Campbell. One, I will do that. DJ gets it. Chris, what was that? What was that? Signed. Randy. I don't know what it is yet.

[01:03:46] We don't have much yet. We don't really collect that kind of crap. It might be a Randy Belichick signed hockey puck. You never know. No, we should send DJ. We should send DJ and uncle Parker sticker. Yes. You can just. Tony doesn't have. Tony's like, I don't, I fucking made them and I don't even have any for Tony. Oh my God. All right. Well guys, this was a lot of fun. I think that you, we've kind of calmed the waters and uncle Parker land for the eight of us that are now, you know, in this circle here. I, I,

[01:04:15] I don't think there's much to get too worried about here. Now, if Friday comes and goes, nothing is done. Well, then, then yeah, put a fork in us, but we still have moves to make. I think we do it. I think we can still go on a run without Jack Hughes. Maybe we play a little bit different. Maybe guys like Timo and, and Nico are going to have to carry it, but they're capable. So I'm still confident. And I might even go as far as saying that I,

[01:04:45] I think they can end up better because of this. I really do. And yes, he should get his thumb out of his ass because that's, don't say it to Tim though. Cause he gets, you know, it's very upset. You don't know where that thumbs been doing anything. Well, Bob, I, I, I've said, I've said a thousand times. He's doing everything right. He's just not scoring. The motherfucker needs to score. Who? Tom and Cheryl. Tom and Cheryl can't score. No, no. Get your thumb out of your ass. And shit out of Golden A. Those who can do,
