jim777 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 http://video.nhl.com...id=616&id=74052 for anyone who just wants to see the conference and doesn't have time to search through the previous pages. Is anyone else seeing like a 3 or 4 second delay inthis? It's good enough, but odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masked Fan Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 How about lets hope he stays alive for the next 40-50 years, gains Scott Stevens type status, retires a Devil, becomes a NJD legend, comes back to coach the team, and wins about 3 or 4 more Stanley Cups? I like that better THAT'S THE ATTITUDE!!! DRINK THE KOVY-AID!!!! Kov-Aid maybe?? I think I like the sound of that better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Good day at work, shot a 64 and I come home to a forum brimming over with excitement over the signing. Good day, very good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOLLYWOOD Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I have to admit they played it out well. I wonder were Hollywood is to talk about AEG and how big the pull of the Kings are! Anyway for the money I like the deal I have changed my tune after listening to that conference and seeing part of the team I am just dying for some Hockey Go Devils 2011 Here's why... I say Dean Lombardi's days are number in LA. He was thrown outta of San Jose and it appears he still doesn't know how to be an NHL GM. EJHradek_ESPN A source with ties to Kovalchuk says Ilya felt more comfortable with NJ GM Lamoriello than he was with LA GM Lombardi. It made a difference.

David Puddy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Reading articles about both the GMs and players, I am starting to think Kovy was attracted to the fact that NJ is a much more mature organization with more mature players. Compare the elder statesman in LA to the elder statesman in NJ... huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion15 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If anything Sean Gavery will be seeing a lot more of Kovy now that they're in the same division. And those two don't get along. Hope Sean likes the taste of fist and ice if he wants to start something this coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADevilsFan Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 NHL Fanhouse "Kovy has that rare one-on-one skill that few players in the game have," said Parise. "You saw that in his games with us last season. The other team is aware of him every step he takes. I look forward to playing with Kovy for a long time."

funetiklee Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 No doubt his greatest accomplishment as a Devil. andrew peters is actually known as an awesome teammate and great locker room guy. too bad he doesn't belong any where near an NHL locker room.

lilgriffey84 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I think Kovy genuinly wanted to be here. After watching the press conference he seemed comfortable. He was cracking jokes and looking over at the players laughing. I understand his point of taking his time it was a 17 year deal. He had to be 100 percent sure that he wanted to be comitted to a team that long. So on the 17th day of july number 17 chose a 17 year contract to wear number 17 for the next 17 years Edited July 21, 2010 by lilgriffey84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
