Hey Ace, how are ya my friend?..I wanted to let you know, if you didn't see it, The Hockey Guy did this week's Power Rankings, and our New Jersey Devils were number 3 out of the 32 teams!..the only two teams ahead of us, according to him, are the Wild and of course Washington at #1..NUMBER 3 ACE!!..I can't wait for the postseason brother..great video and I was the 1st to watch it, lol..I got lucky and saw it 55sec after you put it out..I'm thinking about hitting the Rags game as well..have a great week my friend..stay well brother..later Ace! ✌️🏒
@vmeglis70 Thanks for the heads up! I will definitely check that out! Shannon is a beast, I have no idea how he watches so much and does so many videos. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
He’s a fan of many teams but one of his favorites are definitely our Devils cause of how hard he gets on us and his expectations of us and how much he raves about our glory days and he picked us to win the Cup last year! He didn’t pick us this year but we’re slowly creeping back up to him fan boying on our Devs 😂 we will win the Cup
Okie born n raised in Plainfield, NJ- my uncle would give us season tix 4 seats for meadowlands Devils games back in the day 1980's and we watched history with the Red and Green!
@@runninwiththedevilsi know the feeling Ace nothing like a Meadowlands tailgate 🥘 🍱 all I did or had to do was know a season ticket holder that they know of or have seen and i got offered so much damn good food! That chicken Parmesan was fantastic(back in the 1990s)
@QueensNewYorkguy I miss the building and the tailgates dearly. It was nice to get a little taste of it last season during the Stadium Series. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Ace, I really like the team as constituted, I do wonder how they will perform in the playoffs. The bottom six scoring has dried up a bit, and MacDermid will be more of a fixture, will the bottom 6 be able to kick it up in April-June? Excited to find out . Let's go Devils
@michaels7134 I absolutely LOVE this team! I think the roster is built for playoff warfare. Bottom 6 scoring has dried up lately, I hope they get it going in the next few games. I can see Fitz adding a bottom 6 guy at some point. I do not think MacDermid will be a playoff regular. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
That would be cool to close out the month of December with a 7 game win streak...but I am not expecting that either. I agree with 5-2. Would love to see the Devils smack down the rags again.
Glad you thoroughly spoke about the Canes- personally, & I can only speak for myself, i hate the Canes WAY more than the Rangers at this point. I absolutely want to go through them in playoffs, not because i believe we win or even easily, but I need to see a NJD team beat the Canes in my life. When they did it in 2001, i was in college & was partying TOO much to remember ANY of that series anymore lmao
@pucksnpicks I despise the Canes, but it can never eclipse my hatred for the Rangers. They are up on the list though. I would love to see us beat them. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
I heard that Brady Tkachuk allegedly told the Ottawa media that he has no desire to go to New York or anywhere else. Regardless, I just don’t see him being moved anytime soon. I agree with your assessment of the Norris Trophy. Points don’t make a defenseman. I’ll have to miss the Ranger game on December 23 because of work. But I’ll be there on the 27th. Let’s go Devils!!!
@chairmanofthecheapseats Brady did say that. With that being said, if Ottawa is clearly out of it at the deadline, his tune may change quickly. The Norris Trophy has become a total joke. It is a shame. Maybe they should have 2 Defensemen trophies, one for actually defense, ie "defensive defenseman" and one for "offensive defenseman". LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Good work Ace. I have similar playoff thoughts, I never wanna see the Hurricanes. I think Brind'Amour is one of the best coaches in the league. I knew they would still be good this year, but did expect a bit of a fall off with all the talent they lost. Lightening have given us issues too. Guys I would love to grab at the deadline, but are both reaches. But would have to take some FitzMagic. Both different players but can bring a lot to a third line. Ryan O'Reilly or Kyle Palmieri. Looks like we have about 1.2 million in cap. So it would be difficult. But Palms is on an expiring contract, I wouldn't mind moving some prospects. ( I do not have anyone in mind but wouldn't touch Nemec/Casey). Trotz also said he is thinking he will need to completely rebuild Nashville. Lets keep it rolling boys! Starts tomorrow in St. Louis!
@ITzCw4dE Thanks! I hate the Canes and they will always be a tough matchup. I would love to avoid them in the playoffs and to watch someone else dispatch them. Same with Lightning, but the Canes definitely scare me more. I would rather O'Reilly than Palmieri personally. I liked Palms when he was here, but I would prefer a bigger, more physical player for playoff WAR. O'Reilly fits the bill. Adding anyone is going to be a challenge because of Cap limitations. I can't see Lou sending Palmieri here to help us unless we vastly overpaid. Nashville is a complete disaster. I feel bad for their fans....ALMOST. What a rapid nosedive for them after what appeared to be a miraculous offseason. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Ace, energy doesn’t lie my friend! Since you and I are very similar, I knew you wouldn’t like Erik Karlsson! I never liked him either especially when he couldn’t get the job done against Sid! But one of the girls I’m getting to know currently is best friends with a woman that dated Karlsson when he was in Ottawa and said she couldn’t stand him and that’s he’s a total douchebag lol
@QueensNewYorkguy LMAO. He always irked me for some reason, and then him getting handed the Norris despite being on the worst team in the league and being a -26 was the last straw. He has that d-bag aura about him. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@Death_To_Kong Pretty much. I think this team is going to get better and more consistent as the season goes on. They are just tapping into their potential as of late. I cannot wait for April. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
You always forget about Canes Devils 2006 series and especially game 2 when the Devil took the lead with 19 secs to go in the 3rd period to only concede a tying goal 3 secs before the game ends and lose in OT eventually and the series and Canes went on to win the Cup😂. And that 2006 Devils teams was soooo good! One of the Cups favourites
That's the game where Marty thought there was goalie interference and threw his stick at the end, right? A rare instance of visible frustration from Marty.
@jma.87 cannot remember that already. But that loss put us into 0-2 series hole, killed the team morale and Devils could never recover from that. To say I was pissed off after that game is an understatement)))
Nah, I'm the one confused. The stick throw was from a 2009 GWG with 0.2 seconds left against the Canes, Game 4. Either way, I hate that team and 2006 was painful.
@sst6601 I will never forget it, but I don't usually mention it as the other 2 were more painful to me personally. That one sucked too. The 05-06 Devils are one of my favorite NON CUP winning teams. What a special group. It is a shame we couldn't win a Cup with those guys. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

@PremierLeagueProductions No problem. They have tons of great stuff. I have to stay off the site as it is dangerous to my bank account. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
Idk 🤷🏾 maybe I’m tripping but if Hughes and Bratt keep playing at this pace/level of elite then I don’t think us current not having a strong and reliable 4th line will affect us in the playoffs
@QueensNewYorkguy It's funny you mention that. This morning I was thinking along those lines. As long as the 4th line is not a liability, I believe the team can go far with most of the offensive production coming from the Top 3 lines/occasionally the D. ESPECIALLY if the Power Play picks back up. The 4th line must be true grinders though. Gotta be very difficult to play against. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@p00l95 They will always be tough for the Devils, but I do believe we could beat them. It would be a huge test at any point of the playoffs. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!

Devils have lost all 4 playoff series against Canes and if they meet again in the 1st round this year that will be a fifth loss. Facts
They won their first series in 2001 Rd1, but yeah they've lost the last 4 straight ('02, '06, '09, '23)
Canes are nothing special this year. They have struggled and have mediocre goaltending.
@ValS781 I think the Devils COULD beat them. But that is a matchup I would love to avoid. They will always be tough. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
@jma.87 I will never get over 2001. The lost season. How incredible it would have been to get that one, and go Back To Back. LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
