It's strange to see such a weak Devils team.
Kovulchuck was invisible. And he's too immature to lead a team in a big spot. See: the ridiculous center-ice elbow he threw in the 3rd. Thats really going to rally the troops, Ilya.
Frolov played much better, but then again, the way Dubinsky and Anisimov are playing, you could throw Hollweg on a line with them and he'd produce.
Boogaard was getting some good hits down low.
Watched the game last night on Time Warner MSG+ (in Brooklyn) and had mike and chico, the worst announcers ever. Today i turn on Rangers in 60 and hear Sam and Joe... Anyone know if there was a place to hear them last night?
section 315 maybe it was msg2? im not sure. im extremely happy ilya kovalchuk is doing so poorly.
It was on MSG2 but not in HD so I suffered through the Devils broadcast to see the vastly superior picture. Actually, last night Chico wasn't as bad as I've heard him on other occaisions. He was complimentary to Duby and Hank and even said that the Dvils got away with one when they batted the puck into the stands while already a man down.
It's ridiculous that they wouold put the far superior broadcast team of Sam and Joe on that non-HD crap channel.
Emerick, with that stupid, sing-songey delivery and made up words (flubbed??) is so friggin overrated. He sounds like he's reading a children's book.
Second time I've had to endure the Devils' broadcasters this season. I haven't a clue as to why size matters SO MUCH to them in terms of who fights who. They brought up Avery not wanting to fight Clarkson (again) who are apparently a match made in heaven to fight. But when Boyle and Clarkson came together, they mentioned the unfair size advantage Boyle has over Clarkson. Based on their logic, Tie Domi would've never had anyone to fight with then. Idiots.
