I've never bothered to listen to another one and it sounds like I don't need to. I used to kind of slag these guys a bit but the truth is they are very, very good.
They actually are very good. They were a tough listen when we sucked cause they were down on the team and didn't want to do content. But I'm a glutton for punishment so I wanted content. Dave and Jeff don't BS around. they get straight to the games and give you actual analysis. No filler garbage and they buck the trend on dumb narratives like ownership is cheap (yes the arena has lacked in fan experience) but they spend on the players and coaches so I don't like that storyline. They are also just generally a good listen, intelligent and articulate.
Let's go devils podcast is barely tolerable but Sam Wu actually knows his stuff. And he's likeable. They have some decent guests on from time to time and are probably the staple devils podcast. But god damn Nick Velano (pucks and pitchforks writer) is just flat out wrong about everything. Never knows the lineups or knows the actual in-game lines, said BrendanByrne was a different arena from continental that only sat 6k or something like that. It was absolutely embarassing that he didn't know it was the previous name before continental. YOU ARE THE WRITER OF A DEVILS BLOG! how do you not know the most basic facts of our history!? baffling.
His takes are just awful. thankfully he's only on there once a week. but every time, he makes an incorrect statement and it bothers me.
They do "devils after dark" which is a postgame show that is nice to have but they just review the events of the game which is like...bro, anyone who's listening to a post game devils podcast probably watched the game. I don't need an hour of you reviewing the events of the game! And the guy who does it with Sam seems fine but just very gimmicky. Renditions of CrazyTrain as "GravyTrain" in reference to graves and a bunch of other nonsense like that. Its useless filler.
People on here want analysis. We want breakdowns of strategy, lineup decisions, GM moves or lackthereof.
Devils state of mind is literally a joke. it doesn't even deserve to be spoken about.
The last change is actually decent but their shows are few and far between. They got Ryan Nov a couple of times which is good.
