Last year he was a hell of a lot of fun to watch. I think he’s already there tbh. He takes over games and tilts the ice even more than prime Kovy, imo.

devlman Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) There’s a million reasons to hate Kovy as a Devils fan and absolutely pass on bringing him in at age 39, but I will say this: That man gave us the greatest non cup season in franchise history. Defeating the Phailures and Rags in back to back series is every Devils fan’s wet dream. Forever a legend.

I don't think that was his problem. The guy played with Marian Hossa, Slava Kozlov and Marc Savard. Maybe a year or two with Dany Heatley, too. He would have had a Hall of Fame career had his 30s been like his 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insanely good powerplay goal at home against the Rags. Henrique it’s over. The goal vs Philly game 3. He was absolutely unstoppable that year. Also I believe he fed Zajac for his ot goal game 6 v fla. Edited June 11, 2022 by devlman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude was a highlight machine that playoff, in no particular order that come to mind: Setup on Travis Zajac's game 6 OT goal against the Panthers: This badass goal against the Flyers, making Bryz his bitch: Snipe from the point that really put the Flyers to bed: This sick snipe against the Rangers: Obviously, this insanely beautiful PP goal: Just to pick a few of my favorites. To the OP though - no. He looked cooked with LA / Montreal, nothing left in the legs. It's a faster game than it was during his prime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people might remember him more towards the end of his time in NJ, but those early years (especially pre-eye injury) he was actually really good. Guys like him, Madden, Pandolfo, etc really exemplified what those Devils teams were all about.

Clarkson in the slot pulled everyone up leaving that seam cross crease to Kovy wide open. Thank god Recchi is gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadana Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Omg. I didn't read topic well. Trading 2nd for Fiala or Debrinkat, sign Gaudreau. Now that! I believe we should give Kuemper 7 years deal and hire Brodeur as a head coach. And of course bring back Lou as GM. I believe we should deal Holtz, Gritsyuk, Okhotiyk and Daws for Quinn Hughes. With unprotected first next year. Let's make crazy bingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
