Game 13: Devils At Avalanche | Game Day Live!

Yeah, so, you know, we just had State of the Fan Address.

It's really a triple header Wednesday because we got Devils After Dark after the game.

9 p.m. Eastern start, 8 p.m. Central.

It feels really good to be a New Jersey Devils fan right now, Vinny.

I haven't gotten your take, but how does it feel right now for you, Vincent Parisi?

Sam, you're right.

It's the first time I'm on since the news.

One of the best goalies in the world plays for the New Jersey Devils again.

It's not a feeling that us older folk are unfamiliar with.

I'm sure some of the newer kids, you know, Marty Brodeur retired in 2014. so you know it's been a long time if you were born in that year you're what 12 years old now it's not there are 12 year olds who like the devils if you were 15 at that time you probably didn't care as much as you do now like there's just you know there's all sorts of layers to this thing and conor hellebuck being right there for the best player on the team if you really look at it like from an organizational it's an incredible move.

And now they have great players at every position.

There's no question mark.

Who's the guy.

I just, I can't believe that it actually happened and they didn't give up a first first round pick.

They gave up their top prospect.

they gave up a pretty solid middle six forward and Dawson Mercer.

I have nothing bad to say about Dawson Mercer.

Did he turn into the 30 goal, 60 point second line winger that I thought he was going to, or like high end third line center that I thought he was going to? No.

But he was a lock for 20 goals.

I can't say it was often where the other team would score and I would just be like, that's 1,000% Dawson Mercer's fault.

You know, he was a good player.

He is a good player.

Winnipeg's going to like having him in their middle six.

I could give or take Nico Dawes or Jake Allen at this point.

I'm looking at their statistics, both under the hood and just the raw nor like traditional statistics, if you will.
