Chico was always a popular one when he was with the Devils. Hell, he was THE face of the team when they first came in from
Denver.
He was also an experienced netminder that won a Stanley Cup with the Islanders, while the Devils were a young and growing
(operative word) team. You thought Brodeur played a lot of games? Chico shouldered a lot of responsibility to try and bring
respectability to the young Devils team, where a loss was frequent, sorry to say.
The system's goaltending was becoming quite deep by the time Resch was traded. Yeah, it was time to give the young ones a
chance.
But Chico remained a popular figure among Devils fans, even after he retired and became a color commentator for
SportsChannel/FSN/MSG Plus' Devils broadcasts.
