Confirmed with Link: Cangy Stepping Down as Play by Play Announcer

[NjDevsRR]

In case people didn’t know. Cangi has recently been doing some MLS games on ESPN.

Well this sucks. I didn't like Cangy too much when he was the fill-in for Doc, but he grew on me over time and by the end I really did enjoy hearing him call games.

I think he did a good job at keeping professional while still being obviously excited when the team did well. Lots of guys fall too hard toward either homer or disinterested and I always appreciated that he would tell it straight.

As for who should replace him, I say we should see if this guy wants to switch to calling hockey games:

No more OH BOY CANGI's from Dano

He'll preemptively apologize for letting a few Cangis slip with his new pbp partner.

This sucks .. I think he was a very strong play by play guy. It will be hard to find his equal.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Yeah this really does blow. Just hit me. A decade is a long time and he’s been our voice. Will be weird to hear someone else.

 

[Devils090]

Loughlin is so long winded it’s horrible to listen to. He calls one shot and 15 other things happen by the time he’s done.

Fine for radio since you don’t see any of it haha

I nominate Bleed. His rants on goaltending and coaching would be epic.

I can already hear myself saying “Shut the f*** up Kenny” every time he tries to rationalize a poor goal against on the goalie or crediting how great Ruff is. Or some opposing coach “And there you see the head coach of the LA Kings Todd McLellan. Very good head coach in this league in my estimation”. And then me firing back “Shut the f*** up Kenny, this guy sucks as a head coach! I could have that job right now if I was cutting Babcock’s grass back in the early 00’s”.

“Yeah, I think Mackenzie knows he’s gotta stop that one, but it’s a little unfortunate there” and I would go into a tirade and that would probably only last one game.

I would actually love to hear someone shoot on players and coaches and GM’s and tell everyone how they really feel on a hockey broadcast instead of blindly crediting everybody and going out of the way to give compliments to every goalie and player and coach and GM there is.

That said, I think I’d be more cut out for color commentator than a play by play guy. I don’t have the greatest voice for play by play, nor can I really keep up with my voice against the play on the ice. I can ramble on for 30 seconds with a record number of shots taken on some goalie or coach or whoever in those 30 seconds, but the play by play isn’t my thing. I feel like I wound be like an even worse version of Bob Miller when he was 80 years old and at the end of his career.

Should we wait Doc and Chico returning? (*picture of meme about naively child)

[Sheros expletives]

Can't get over this. Nico could retire tomorrow and it Still wouldn't be the worst news of the week.

 

[MachoDiablo]

Once more, for old time's sake:

 

[NJDevils#4]

Honestly never liked him that much, but it def could’ve been worse.

 

[Derps]

I nominate Leah hextall

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Am I the only one who is relieved? Going from Doc to Steve was like going from Le Bernadin to Burger King. So I could never really pallette the guy.

Matt Loughlin would be my choice.

I was not a fan of Cangelosi at all. Only reason I’m not more relived is I’m convinced we’ll end up with someone worse.

Would love Matt Laughlin.

 

[Saint Beaurivage]

Cangi is very intelligent and one of the best we ever had. Working with Dano requires a certain type. You need to be a fast talker to balance the tempo, and be able to pick up Dano if he goes on a tangent.

 

[Clam Jensen]

Someone on Reddit posted this:

Laughlin replaces Cangy
Sal behind the bench as an assistant
PK takes Sal’s role

I wouldn’t mind this

I wouldn’t mind that either. Though, the Reddit has also turned themselves off to drafting Slaf due to Byron Baders analytics, so my estimation of them as a whole has f***ing plummeted.

 

[FooteBahl]

Between the “This is Us” episode and Cangy stepping down, I don’t know if I can take more sadness in one day lol

 

[Clam Jensen]

I nominate Leah hextall

I wonder if Jack Edwards could be swayed.

i’m just glad i won’t have to hear him call things in the past tense anymore. “nico moving in HE SCOOOOOOORED”…who does that lmao

Once more, for old time's sake:

Ahahahahaha how could I forget about the delicious backhand too!

 

[Nubmer6]

I'm still coming to grips with this.

I guess I'll sort it out after the break.
