"When the team was down 3-1, I looked around no one was leaving..." Every time I watch and hear Chico say this I get chills. The commentary duo was the best out there. This video always gets me hyped.
I was at this game and remember sitting there feeling dejected and all of a sudden the team woke up! Some of the best 3 minutes of Devils hockey! Also, I miss Doc and Chico...still!
One of the best games I ever went to. The last 5 minutes, people started to leave. ..my GF and I stayed. Never give up hope...she was shocked lol. To think of it, I never seen a game live or on TV where the last minute, both goalies were pulled becaUSE one of their teams were down by one...at one point
After seeing Kovy on the power play and how he held the zone and wasn't selfish with the puck, makes me realize Kovalchuk has been a New Jersey Devil from day one and now he will always be one!
i went to a game once with my dad, brother, and sister a while back (probably '02 or '03) and they were losing for a while and it was near the end of the game. they came back and scored 3 goals in like 30 seconds. AMAZING!! :)
This game shows the future with Kovalchuk. For the tying goal, instead of taking the shot himself he faked the slap shot and turned it into a pass which gave him the secondary assist. This shows that despite what they claimed about him in Atlanta, he really is a team player. The only reason he was considered "selfish" is that the Thrasher's management couldn't put a decent team together to support him and he had to take up the slack. Lamoriello will take care with Kovy like he did with Brodeur.
I still believe! Watching this video and Kovalchuk's first game and the way it ended is going to be a forshadow of this season.....DONT COUNT US OUT YET!
I remember watching this game with my dad who had a proline riding on the devils winning in regulation. He was getting upset with 3 minutes left saying c'mon you gotta pull the goalie you need three goals. I told him to have faith in the devils. He was in complete disbelief but ended up winning over $400 from the proline. Pretty awesome way to win a proline in my opinion.
When was last time both teams goalies pulled for extra attacker in final minute I'm 40 and can't recall must be first time ever only the leafs can Pull this off lol
i saw this and what a great finish to this game! kovalchuk energized this club and who knows what will happen tonight when kovalchuk arrives with the devils into madison square garden.
+Ckbruinfan Do not feel bad for those clowns. They made their choice for which team they would stick by... and they haven't learned since. They're also generally retarded.
When you watch the pace of this and this was 10 years ago and you realize that Subban could not even keep up with this it tells you why the Devils are where they are. Unfortunately the Subban signing was horrendous and clearly it was a desperate move because you saw he lost it the year before. He has no wheels. As for the players out there like others have said eh it is ok to be a Devils fan and still love Kovy as the guy went home to be with his family. I don't care how it came about it was just about that. Better to have a player like that linked to our team than many others I can think of I would not want associated with this franchise. Finally as for what Chico said about the goalie playing so deep heck they do that to this day even when it doesn't suit the situation. They are still a bit robotic although much less so than the day of the super oversized pads. Go Devils!
I wish Doc and Chico Resch would return as the Devils broadcasters again. Steve Cangelosi as a play by play man SUCKS!!! His voice is like a torture chamber for your ears. Ken Daneyko is alright but not as good as Chico Resch is.
@@allall5076 He tries be be like Doc Emerick, haven’t you noticed each time he does, he says (for example) now here’s a lead for Palmieri, he’s moving in, he shoots, he SCARS!!!!!!! Cangelosi is a joke
The Maple Leafs also had 6 skaters on their ice during their third goal. So even if Pando was offsides, which I don't think he was, it would still balance out.
