The Devils lost to the Buffalo Sabres 5-2. The main takeaway from today's episode is that Mark Recchi needs to figure out the power play issues if he wants any chance of keeping his job. Also, Andrew Hammond took a couple steps back this game. On the bright side, Jesper Boqvist & Nikita Okhotyuk contributed in tonight's losing effort. Subscribe to Locked On Devils!

Should Kevin Dineen Be The Next Head Coach For The New Jersey Devils?; Nico Daws Was Sent Back Down to The Utica Comets

April 21, 2022 10:15 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MB

The Utica Comets have been doing some big things this season. It raises the question that maybe their head coach, Kevin Dineen, should be next in line to be the New Jersey Devils' new leader. He definitely has some potential, but there's some risk to it. Also, the Devils sent Nico Daws back down to Utica to help them during their playoff run. Subscribe to Locked On Devils!

Should The New Jersey Devils Reunite With Head Coach Peter Deboer?

April 20, 2022 10:15 - 23 minutes - 19.3 MB

Peter Deboer's head coaching tenure might be coming to an end in Vegas. If the Golden Knights fail to make the playoffs then I would fully expect for him to be fired. However, the New Jersey Devils might be searching for a new head coach come this offseason. Despite the salty history, maybe reuniting with Deboer might not be the worst idea in the world.

The Vegas Golden Knights are a in much tougher position to playoffs, and that's thanks to the New Jersey Devils. This was arguably one of the Devils' best games of the season.

Revisiting a Potential Carey Price Trade; Are The New Jersey Devils & Seattle Kraken Newly Rivals?

April 18, 2022 10:15 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MB

I decided to revisit my recent episode involving Carey Price. I know he's a fan favorite out in Montreal, however it doesn't change the fact that they might have to make a difficult business decision. Also, in their most recent game, the New Jersey Devils lost to the Seattle Kraken in a shootout. Despite the loss, I feel as though there's something brewing between the Kraken and Devils...in an exciting way. Subscribe to Locked On Devils! Follow me on Twitter: @treymatt4 Follow the show on...

Goalie Talks: Should The New Jersey Devils Try to Pursue Carey Price?

April 16, 2022 10:15 - 24 minutes - 17.2 MB

Okay, so please don't hurt me. But just hear me out: Carey Price to the New Jersey Devils via a trade? This silly season might be one of my most controversial ones up to date. But, I love having fun with it. The Canadiens aren't exactly in a winning situation in terms of cap space, and with Price's lengthy deal beggars can't be choosers. Subscribe to Locked On Devils!
