NJ Devils DEMOLISH NY Rangers 5-0 | INSTAGRAM HOCKEY + Fisticuffs = Markstrom SHUTOUT!

The New Jersey Devils beat the New York Rangers by a score of 5-0 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on 12/23/24.

Round 2 of INSTAGRAM HOCKEY was quite entertaining!

– The NJ Devils defense has set an NHL RECORD! The Devils have now held their last *7* opponents to 20 shots on goal or less!

– Paul Cotter and Vincent Trocheck dropped the gloves early in the 1st Period. A decent scrap, Cotter with the decision victory!

– 34 seconds later Jack Hughes got the scoring started, burying his 14th of the season after he beat Jonathan Quick with a nice wrister.

– Brenden Dillon and Sam Carrick dropped the gloves with 52 seconds left in the 1st Period. A pretty nice and even bout here, I give Dillon a slight decision victory!

– Timo Meier, Stefan Noesen, and Jack Hughes (AGAIN) add goals to finish the Rangers off for good.

– Jack Hughes finished the game with 2 Goals and an Assist for ANOTHER 3 Point game!

– Timo Meier finished the game with 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 2 Hits.

– Dawson Mercer had 1 Goal and 1 Assist,

– Jesper Bratt had 2 Assists, 1 Block and 3 Hits! (a team high)

– Stefan Noesen had 1 Goal, 2 Blocks and a Hit.

– Jacob Markstrom had 12 saves enroute to the shutout win. BACK TO BACK SHUTOUTS!

I discuss all of this and much more in this video.

  1. As soon as Timo scored, all the Devils fans looked at each other and just starting yelling Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
    Jump on that train….🚆 because Devils are rolling deep in 2025

  2. Didn’t get to watch the game and can’t find the replay. Sucks.
    Anyways, great win. 🙂 not much to say since I didn’t see the game. Glad to see Timo sitting in the right circle and scoring. I don’t know why players aren’t setup there more often. Legendary players made that area their home to score massive amount of goals. Kills me when I see rebounds and plays that don’t transpire because no one is ever waiting in the circle.
    If you all want to see something funny, go watch Rangers Central from yesterday. The guy is so down and done with the Rags it’s great to listen to the misery. Some of the people “doomers” would love the dispare and sadness.
    Happy Holidays everyone!
    LGD 🙂
    Cotter, Haula and Bratt signing coming up at Woodbridge. I’m going to try and make it to the Bratt one.

  3. Idk if its just me but i kinda feel bad for tatar cuz he isnt playing with nico and mercer, BUT i do love the nico, timo, and noesen line. Im sure tuna doesnt mind hes on the fourth line.

  4. I wish I was at this game. Absolutely stellar performance! Mattie and Chico had a hilarious narration of the fight. And best part..Rags are now tied for last place! A thought occurred….Noeson likes playing on the left side. Meier is more productive on the right…but they have the line written as Meier on the left and Noeson on the right. Why not just reverse the lines?

  5. Wow, one of the most dominant thumping of the Rags since… well I guess we thumped them pretty good on 12/2, but something felt different about this one. The Devs are starting to gel, watch out NHL!!!

  6. Beating the Rangers is satisfying, but I HATE the Canes & would love for them to sweep this 2 game set – 4 years Ace, 02,06,09,23 – you know better than most, there was a cup run in at least 1 of those playoffs , I swear probably 2- I’ll never forgive, never forget !!!!

  7. I'm definitely already feeling real great. Especially with last night's 5-0 shutout victory. So it's definitely 2 shutouts in a row for Markstrom. I'm definitely glad to be on your studio. Definitely Merry Christmas and I'll be back here soon. And Merry Christmas to all my fellow Devils fans around here 😂.

  8. I was glad to see someone finally take a shot at Trocheck. He plays a cheap game and often gets away with it. After that, every line rolled. Markstrom solid…again. Great statement win.

  9. What a great time to be a Devils fan…and a really bad time to be a Ranger. And then the Blueshirts wanna call us barbaric for how we're ragging on them for their team's nothing performance. NO SYMPATHY AFTER LAST YEAR. At least last year we put up a fight 😭

  10. The back to back wins against the Panthers really seemed to be the beginning of this group really starting to buy in to General Keefe’s system and gelling as a group. Why. Not. Us. If this version of the Devils is what we get in the playoffs, they are going to be a force. I can’t wait to see what guys like Noesen, Cotter, and Kovacevic bring to a playoff run. If we can add another depth player at the deadline, we get that much stronger. Let’s…Go…Devils!!

  11. Merry Christmas Ace and to all our Devils fans! What a gift we got yesterday to start the holiday off right with. Ace you always ask are we not entertained. Brother we're always entertained by your content and the enthusiasm you bring about our team. Happy Holidays my friend and Let's Go Devils!!!

  12. It is always good to enjoy while it lasts. Last year Jets also had seemingly good defence and the Vezina keeper to only rapidly exit the playoffs allowing 6 goals per game on average). But what a game nonetheless!

  13. Once more another game seen and probably the best game I could have gone to this season so far and for the past few years. It was so worth moving my work day over to Christmas Eve to this game with my friends. Great game, great goals, great fights!! Great trolling by the production team!! I need to thank my boss for allowing the switch-aroo! Also, Hobby's has amazing Pastrami and Cornbeef sandwiches, although my mom makes better potato Pancakes (latkas), haha, nothing like true home cooking like the Devils are now starting to do!! Cannot wait for Friday-Saturday Canes matchups. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, HAPPY FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!

  14. I have to give some props to Vincent Trocheck for starting the fight and trying to light a fire under his listless teammates. Yes, it backfired miserably for them and worked out great for us, but someone has to lead by example on that shit show of a roster. The rags are pathetic, but Trocheck earned my respect yesterday.

  15. What a beast performance. I pray marky can look even half as good when the Defense isn't holding an opponent to 12 shots. If he can, Devs are a top 3 contender

  16. Merry Christmas to you all !
    what a time to be a Devils fan 💪

    by the way, imo the statistic love and scoresheet focus of the NHL is hurting many players. Devils have such a great team chemistry on and off the ice which leads to such wins. and you can't find these on some statistics view..
    fans just should be grateful if the team is rolling 😊🎉

  17. Awesome win, but even with all of their struggles, I knew that the Rangers couldn’t be taken lightly. But what a game, Jack doing Jack things. Bratter providing the usual spark. Markie with ANOTHER shutout. And the defense holding the Rangers to their lowest shot total since 2001. All we can ask for at this time is stay healthy and keep producing.

    Merry Christmas Ace, talk to you after the Carolina games.

  18. Instead of just showing a Yule Log, MSGSN should play the Devils / Rangers game all Christmas day. I'd watch that game at least another 3-4 times and fully enjoy myself.

  19. Best Christmas present ever! Also lost my voice and still elated from this amazing victory and total drubbing of the Rags. Not least, I was so happy to have been spared that awful Rags goal chant. Silence of the Rags! I noticed during warm-ups Timo leaning on the boards like he does sometimes looking over and giving the stink-eye to the Rangers side and already looking to see who was gonna get it. That Trocheck has been asking for it and so glad Paulie took care of him right at the get go. What a work of art our boys put together – total team effort. Imagine if Dermy was in the lineup. Boys should have all been waving buh-bye past the Rags bench. Finally made it home, Ace, around 5:30 yesterday. So funny, Curtis Lazar was also merging onto Lafayette at the same time I was and I waved and he waved back. Boys were also stuck in traffic! Merry Xmas Ace and to all my fellow Ace-watching Devils fans 😊 LGD!!!

  20. Well Ace, first things first Marry Christmas and on anther note WHAT A GAME AND WHAT A WIN if you can call it that. I would like to call it a brutal beatdown or in other words DOMINATION, and it was the perfect Christmas gift to us devil fans especially when they showed the Jack Hughes draft pick and those rag fans cheering (they must hate themselves for not taking jack IF they had the chance). and what a game by Marky with the shutout and the D shutting down scoring chances for the rangers, if we can keep this up we will become a force not to be reckon with but other then that. LGD!!!!
