The New Jersey Devils posted a video of Dougie Hamilton on X (formerly Twitter), revealing their 2024–25 schedule.

NHL fans reacted to the announcement on X.

“This literally might be the funniest thing I've ever seen When it cut to Lazar I lost it,” one fan said.

“This is impeccable. No notes,” one fan tweeted.

Here are more reactions from fans who watched the video.

“This is amazing. The fact he’s laughing during it makes it like an SNL skit. Well done,” one fan commented.

“the best schedule video in all of history,” one fan tweeted.
