Summary
Cory Schneider and Brian Boyle take stock of the Devils' early season, including their consistency, Timo Meier's role, Luke Hughes' potential and the questions in goal. Brian explains why he wants to see New Jersey win in different ways and how the right linemates could help get Meier going. Emily Haydel stops by with a K-pop introduction for the guys, a preview of Devils K-pop Night and the story behind her new podcast, Emily in Jersey. They also discuss getting hockey players to show their personalities and the nerves that come with starting a broadcasting career. Away from the rink, there's Brian's men's league experience, the return of the apple-picking debate, an expensive pumpkin and Cory's giant bobblehead. To close, a listener asks what they loved about living in Jersey. Brian reflects on Cory's support during his cancer diagnosis, and the guys remember the carpools, family time and friendship behind One-Time All Stars.
