Farewell Chico Resch!

New Jersey Devils' Glenn 'Chico' Resch retiring from broadcast booth - ESPN New York

For me, I really enjoyed his broadcast, I really enjoyed his comments, breakdown, willingness to question calls on either side and importantly made the game fun to watch for me.

Thank you so much sir and wish you the best going forward. You may not read this but it doesnt mean it can go unsaid.

thank you!

Great announcer, always enjoyed hearing him announce games. Best of luck to him.

Sorry to see him go. I really enjoyed his comments over the years; even Chico Eats made me laugh. In just a few years we've gone from Doc and Chico to......? Sad.

Sad to see him leave. 18 years!!!! That's a long time! Would be cool if the crowd chants his name today. Just sad thinking a part of watching hockey as a early teen is now gone. They dont make people like Chico anymore.

His remarks about not being relevant with young fans make me wonder if New owners are behind this? I know he will say its been a long time coming but with them getting rid of the dancers next year the free food in the club seats I dunno.

I am hoping for a Chico chant or something to acknowledge our guy....

Yes didn't understand the young comment... I'm 29 yes old n that's still young lol... I've been devils/hockey since the rangers won the cup.... Not sure why he said that unless he meant the kids?

I'm 32.....I was too young to remember him playing but I get who he is and what he did. Hope its not the owners trying to become more "mainstream" and young.

Chico is only 65? That's nuts I thought he was in his 70s.

 

[CalamityX11]

I want the owners or Lou to focus on the roster n offensive talent rather than broadcasters...

Who didn't like Chico?

He said somewhere that his wife wants to be closer to family.

 

[nj_cup]

Yeah i read that too. Hey I'm married and love using "my wife" excuse to get out of things I don't want to do.

It was a nice send off they had esp the postgame.

 

[DevilishWon]

The Chico chant at the game was great. I will absolutely miss him...

 

[KingOfNJ]

Great guy, always took the time to talk to the fans, listen to them and take a pic. A real class act.

He'll be missed.

Doc and Chico were a great team.

Now we have Cangialosi..........








fuck

Has it been announced or is it a given that Daneyko will be the new broadcast partner or are they brining in somebody new?
