A special edition of The Larry & Big Man Show with Larry Richert and Jay Caufield featuring New Jersey Devils legend and three-time Stanley Cup champion Ken Daneyko.

Known as “Mr. Devil,” Daneyko looks back on his remarkable 20-year NHL career, beginning with leaving home at just 15 years old to chase his hockey dream and eventually being drafted by a New Jersey franchise so new that it didn’t even have a team name yet.

Ken shares incredible stories about growing up in the game, finding his role as a physical defenseman, and the unforgettable advice Lou Lamoriello gave him that helped extend his NHL career. He also tells the story of Lamoriello handing him $400 after Daneyko stood up for a teammate against Wendell Clark, a moment that helped establish a new culture for the Devils.

The conversation also covers the evolution of the Devils from one of the NHL’s struggling teams into a three-time Stanley Cup champion, Daneyko’s emotional NHL debut at Madison Square Garden, the sacrifices his parents made, and why the Devils organization still means so much to him today.

Plus, Ken talks about coaching in 3ICE, why he loves three-on-three hockey, the current NHL playoff format, and why predicting the Metropolitan Division has become nearly impossible.
