0:02
just with that all kind of set in kind
0:04
of in place let's talk about a team that
0:09
they're kind of dealing with adversity
0:11
themselves and that's the New Jersey
0:13
Devils which
0:15
goenda markstrom is out four to six
0:17
weeks with a knee
0:20
sprain Chris take it
0:23
away well that's a big loss for Devil's
0:27
team that's holding on the third place
0:29
in their division
0:31
and as of going into play
0:34
tonight I mean they have a seven-point
0:36
lead over Columbus and the Rangers are
0:39
coming as well another team I talked
0:41
about earlier markom gets the benefit of
0:44
the timing of all of this he's not going
0:46
to play in the four nations so he gets
0:48
two weeks off so part of that four to
0:50
six weeks two of them he won't be
0:53
worrying about like he won't be playing
0:54
any games for the Devils um or won't be
0:57
missing any games I guess for the Devils
0:59
uh
1:02
could be a conversation that opens the
1:03
door for a team like you said
1:05
Columbus I that's a big loss I mean he's
1:08
been part of the reason they've been in
1:09
games he's part of the reason they are
1:11
where they are um that like another team
1:16
like I said the Rangers I just see one
1:19
of those teams possibly present an
1:21
opportunity to take that third spot in
1:23
the Metro especially with this
1:26
loss and it's showing tonight actually
1:28
as I talk about that they're showing on
1:29
the screen right now last I saw or what
1:33
it shows right now is 31
1:36
Flyers against the
1:41
Devils okay
1:45
well yeah the Devils it's going to be
1:49
interesting with how long Mark room is
1:52
going to be out because this is a
1:54
crucial Time of the Season to figure out
1:56
what you're
1:57
doing the devils are a team that
2:00
they don't need another pick that's in
2:02
the top
2:03
16 they're going to be trying to
2:08
win it's been forever
2:12
that oh oh
2:18
sorry oh my goodness it's been a few
2:22
years that they've gone out and tried to
2:27
get that
2:29
and he didn't pan out they've overhauled
2:33
their goal tending
2:35
tandem but now you get Jacob arrom and
2:39
he's your
2:40
guy when he's out they're thin in
2:46
net like don't get me wrong I Jake Allen
2:49
it
2:51
is Jake Allen
2:54
is pretty good but if he's your starter
2:58
for four to six six
3:02
weeks are are you confident if you're
3:05
the New Jersey Devils
3:08
no
3:11
and yeah like they're not the Edmonton
3:15
Oilers who can just out they can
3:17
outscore their opponents at a whim if
3:19
they choose to so they got to rely on
3:23
having solidified goal tender but I
3:25
don't think the Devils had a contingency
3:27
plan if marks went down
3:31
nope
3:33
like I don't think Ottawa did either but
3:36
Ottawa is do they're AF
3:39
flat I will find with their other goalie
3:43
yeah H Ottawa
3:46
like what they're doing is great the
3:50
Devils need to figure it out soon what's
3:52
going
3:53
on because it's going to be a matter of
3:56
if markstrom if he's outed any longer
3:59
than six
4:00
weeks you're you're hoping for you're
4:04
hoping that something happens like a
4:07
miracle happens with a third
4:11
Stringer I would even say I would go as
4:13
far as saying four weeks because like
4:15
you said two of those granted are the
4:17
break and but if he's out if he makes it
4:21
to that full six weeks there could be an
4:23
issue where they're out of it and they
4:25
need him back and he may not be ready
4:27
and they Rush him back and it causes
4:29
more
4:31
issues I don't think the Devils can
4:33
afford to rush him
4:36
back they might have to I mean there
4:39
might be an issue I mean I'm looking at
4:41
their schedule right now obviously
4:43
struggling tonight against the Flyers
4:45
they have the Flyers get on Wednesday
4:47
sabes Penguins Vegas and Montreal before
4:50
the break so winnable games on there
4:53
before the break but then they come back
4:55
and it's Dallas Nashville Colorado Utah
4:58
Vegas Dallas
5:00
Winnipeg and that's going right into the
5:02
first week of
5:07
March well we're gonna see an a very
5:10
interesting uh stretch for New Jersey
5:13
and what they do and who knows maybe
5:15
they go and get a another
5:19
goenda could
5:21
see I think they might be looking at it
5:23
and say you know what we need a NHL
5:26
caliber
5:30
who may not be on on an NHL team and I
5:32
have a guy in mind you might call me
5:34
crazy for a
5:36
second I think the New Jersey Devils
5:40
might be ringing up the Winnipeg Jets
5:43
who have kappal kacin and and
5:47
miners I could see that that makes me
5:49
think of another team where I think vly
5:51
huso vly huso Jack Campbell yep like gr
5:56
Rapids just played in Manito or in
5:57
Winnipeg the other night is of course
6:01
Campbell didn't start but he was backing
6:03
up uh HOSA the other
6:06
night
6:08
so I could see one of those two guys
6:11
getting shipped should they should they
6:14
be able to play to that uh level of
6:18
pressure yep because you know when
6:21
they're going in there's a lot of
6:23
there's a lot riding on them
