The New Jersey Devils swept the mighty Detroit Red Wings *30* years ago to capture the franchise’s first Stanley Cup.
THE CRASH LINE was an era of NJ Devils Hockey that will never be forgotten! Randy McKay, Bobby Holik and Mike Peluso were a massive part of the 1995 Stanley Cup run.
I finally got Mike to do an interview and tell some of his epic stories. TODAY November 8th, 2025 is his 60th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!
Mike Peluso talks about a lot here:
– His beginnings in hockey growing up in Minnesota
– His time with the Chicago Blackhawks
– Playing for the Ottawa Senators as an expansion franchise
– Fighting in the NHL
– Becoming Randy McKay’s teammate after fighting him *11* times
– Jacques Lemaire as a coach
– The 1995 Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils
– His emotions on the bench as the game was ending
– His day with the Stanley Cup
– Martin Brodeur
– Scott Niedermayer
– Claude Lemieux
And soooo much more!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Hell Yeah!
Awesome Ace, I’ll be sure to watch and tune in!!
Awesome!
Much respect sir!
Love Peluso! Crash Line forever! Tough dude
Love how Peluso is raw & unfiltered. He just says whatever he is thinking & doesn’t hold back.
Go Devils! Thanks Mr. Peluso for doing this. Loved the Crash Line. Hockey played the way it was meant to be played. Hopefully one day hockey will return to it's former glory. One or two teams doing it is not enough.
Happy birthday to Mike 👍
