Good food, great wine & better co. ON wine adventures w/ a side baking is the M.O. 3x Popcast Mailbag Famous. #NJDevils
Despite Timo’s late goal that was a disastrous period by the #NJDevils. We couldn’t convert on our many opportunities. We had very costly defensive breakdowns & didn’t get situational goaltending to stop the bleeding. That said we’re still behind only two. Get an early one, lock it down & chip away.

#NJDevils legend Kyle Palmieri 😢
Palmieri went out like a legend. Tears his ACL, steals the puck, and assists on a beauty, all in the same play. Gotta salute the man 🫡

…And just like that a Capitals win bumped them into third and knocked the Islanders down into Wild Card 1. With how tight the Metro is this season you really need to make sure you keep pace and get the two points. If you’re going to lose make sure you do it extra time & not regulation. #NJDevils
After the Nemo & Nico OT heroics the #NJDevils are back atop the Metro. A Canes loss to some team across the Hudson bumped them to second and the Bruins beating the Isles kept them in third. You love to see it. It’s was an extra nice night for the Devils.

Nemo the OT hero on a sneaky back door play from a beautiful cross crease setup by Nico. Happy the #NJDevils wore the Blues down in OT and got the two points. I’m also really glad Markstrom was able to settle down from the second on and shut the door especially during that four minute PK.

Thank you Nico. We really needed that PP goal to help get back on track. Use it as a springboard to a strong second half of the second. This was not been a good period for the #NJDevils

Good first period for the #NJDevils. Should be a 2-1 game in the opposite direction. Markstrom needs to be much better than this.
November 27, 2025 at 12:44 AM
He’s fighting it tonight and Binnington at the other end is feeling it.

When Markstrom starts I pretty much expect the other team is putting up three. It’s a tall order to have to potentially put up four or more to get two points. #NJDevils
Another bad goal from Markstrom. He looks awful to start this game.

#NJDevils

Timo has been feeling it lately and is heating up. I like that he’s driving and making a living around the net. But more importantly I love that he’s finishing his chances. We really need him to be a goals leader with Jack’s injury. #NJDevils
Thank goodness for broken plays and Timo Meier.

I also loved how the #NJDevils stood tall, had each other’s backs & took no shit from the Wings when things got nasty in the third. That banding together & us against the world mentality is something you can use to snap out of a funk & rally behind.

Bank the two points & let’s build on this boys.
November 25, 2025 at 3:12 AM
Based on the metrics & stats the #NJDevils didn’t deserve to win tonight. There’s a lot to improve on.

But Markstrom providing timely situational goaltending is hopefully a springboard to much better play from him. We need him to steal us some games over the next two weeks to weather our injuries.
November 25, 2025 at 3:05 AM
It was far from drama free but the #NJDevils hung on and got a very needed regulation win.
3 takeaways:
1. We scored above expected & got opportunistic goals.
2. Markstrom saw a lot of shots & gave us timely goaltending.
3. We played tough, took no shit & stood-up for each other.
Build on this.

Hopefully he’s okay and that woke us up. We’ve been playing passive garbage hockey for a period and half. It’s like we’re afraid to do anything because we think it’ll lead to a catastrophic mistake. The problem is standing still and letting them take the game over is even more dangerous. #NJDevils
Nemec got butt ended in the gut. Dirty play.

#NJDevils
November 25, 2025 at 2:23 AM
The #NJDevils need to get back to what we did in the first. Win your battles, play smart defensively sound hockey and stay patient for the counterattack opportunities which will come with the Wings having to chase. Let’s close this one out drama free.
November 25, 2025 at 1:48 AM
I didn’t like that period for the #NJDevils at all. We started on our back foot thanks to Dougie’s unnecessary penalty. Then we spent way too much time in our zone struggling to break out & connect passes. We got caved. Luckily a heads up play by Mercer & Brown meant we got out w/ the two goal lead.
November 25, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Brown getting the lead back to two on a smart forecheck by Mercer. Getting that next goal and not letting the Wings tie it up was key. #NJDevils.
November 25, 2025 at 1:26 AM
Really great response by the #NJDevils after surrendering the lead. Coming right back and getting two in under 2.5 minutes is exactly the kind of boost we needed to end the first. The key will be building off of it to start the second. Keep your foot on the gas, get it on deep and attack.
AGENT GLASS, AT IT AGAIN!

3-1, us!

And we’ve managed to break Jake Allen. Three goals in 26 seconds giving the Flyers a franchise record.

Time to sign off and do something projective with my Saturday night because the #NJDevils absolutely decided to not to show up tonight.
Some garbage play from the #NJDevils, but Allen's also already given up 3.24 goals above expected. Need a save on a couple of these. Bad combo
November 23, 2025 at 12:46 AM
Big game for the #NJDevils tonight vs. Philly. Turn the page on a losing streak & springboard into a busy week feeling good with a win. Nico, Bratt, Mercer & Timo need to step up & drive the offense. Get an early and play a smart defensive road game where you limit chances against & counterattack.
November 22, 2025 at 4:16 PM
This is a stark visualization of the eye test. One goalie is giving the #NJDevils a chance to win & the other is costing wins. If goals are going to be as tough to come by as the Florida trip you need to be playing the goalie keeping it one or two a night to have any chance of getting two points.

Since we’re talking goaltending I wanted to point out that post-Lou #NJDevils front offices have all failed to produce a top 15 starting goalie. I question not just our ability to develop goaltending talent, but also to properly evaluate it. I hope this weakness doesn’t stunt our Cup aspirations.

I’m going to take this as a single ray of sunshine on this gloomy news day. #NJDevils
Dougie Hamilton and Connor Brown are to return to practice on Monday, from Amanda Stein.

No me gusta. I’m serious get those Eye of Horus shoulder patches on yesterday. Also I know we’re the #NJDevils but I’d consider an exorcism if it meant some better luck on team health.

I’ve also been worried that Nico hasn’t looked 100% so this is the last thing we need.

Fitz go get a centre.
New Jersey Devils C Jack Hughes underwent successful surgery on his finger.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Robert Hotchkiss at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
The expected return to play timeline is eight weeks and he will be re-evaluated at the six-week mark.
