mfitz804 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Also, I am setting the over/under at 2.5 for the number of times Dano calls the new person “Cangi” during the first regular season game next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Out of the 32 television PBP announcers in the league, I would place Cangi somewhere in the middle third. That's plenty good enough for me as some announcers I have heard are really cringy. Cangi had a bit of a shaky start but by season 3 he hit his stride and has been decent since. I will actually miss him on the telecasts of the games. Thankfully Cangi's position is determined by MSG and not our owners so the chance of his replacement being the cheapest hire around is unlikely. My first choice would be Kenny Albert but I think he has too much of a good thing going on with the Rangers radio as well as ESPN to leave that. I also think he will likely be replacing Sam Rosen soon as he appears to be winding down his career. I hope it's not Laughlin. While he is pretty good at being an MC or a host, he is just awful as a PBP guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chico is really the only reason to listen to the Devils "radio" broadcast. Matty is just awful. It shouldn't take him half a period to announce the score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't take him half a period to announce the score. I agree, but I will also say that Chico is so good and so enjoyable, I can tolerate Matt. And, on top of that, there were a number of games this season where I started watching on TV and had to switch to radio because I had to drive my daughter somewhere. Usually I would just DVR and watch when I get home, but this season got to a point where I was fine with just listening and not wasting the time going back to watch. And I have to say, I found the radio broadcasts far more enjoyable, and Chico is a huge part of that. He is so right on the money with his analysis the majority of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsgolf Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Met Loughlin on the concourse, very approachable, took the time to talk with you, never rushed you during the conversation and even was engaging with the kids, very nice guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vadvlfan Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I thought Matt's play by play was a lil mo better. Got excited when Dev's scored. He was better all around! Replace Cangi, move on. You know that whomever it is, half of us will like it, the other half won't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll hear a goal horn, a 2 second. pause, and then “he scooooores!”. Yeah I love Matt, but PBP isn’t his forte. He’s a great studio host. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the crowd will either say “I’m never watching another game again until he’s gone” or “I mute the TV during broadcasts”. Those folks won’t be happy no matter what, I suspect.

aylbert Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 It's just amazing to me it's already been 11 years of Cangi on PBP. I'll miss him to be honest. I wonder what was the motivation to step away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 We don't always realize but we've been so damn spoiled as fans having Brodeur and Doc for SO long, it became our standard. Now for the rest of our lives, anyone stepping in those roles will always be pale in comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Yeah Cangi was generally solid for the last several years, and I'll happily take that from the PBP guy...a hell of a lot better than "cringe", which as DM84 noted, some guys are every bit that, and then some. I'm with mfitz, if Chico were to come along for the ride, I could live with Matt doing PBP. Chico will always have that unique "one of us" vibe that can't be taught or faked. He just works. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck the Duck Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Nothing compares to Doc. He was just the best there was (at least in my lifetime). But Cangy did a great job filling his shoes. I was surprised that he is stepping away from this job as he seemed to enjoy it, was good at it, and started to get national recognition and gigs. Wish him nothing but the best. That said, while I like Kenny Albert, I think the Devils broadcast is better served by someone not associated with the Rangers or is lined up to take over their PxP job once Sam rides off into the sunset. Kenny is a great announcer, but I get the feeling that he would be here a few years, then move over to the Rags. That's not worth it. I've been following the Utica Comets a bit this year and have heard all of their posted highlights on Twitter. Their PxP guy is really good and would be a great replacement for Cangy IMO. Give that guy the call-up to the National. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also always feel sorry for the guy who has to be the one who immediately follows the legend. In a way, I feel like the Patriots' Mac Jones got a little bit of a break...though some see him as following Tom Brady, that's not really accurate...Jones followed Cam Newton, who in his one season for the Pats was god-awful. I felt for Didi Gregorius at the time, when he had to step in for Derek Jeter...for guys like Didi, I think all you can really do is try to appreciate them for who they are, cut them some slack...and never ask them to take the place of the legend they're likely never going to replace.
