I think whoever the sound guy in the truck is isn’t helping. Both of them are peaking too much

Maybe they should stick these ladies in the minors to call games for 10 years before they stick em in the NHL playoffs?
Why do you just assume she hasn’t had as hard, or an even harder, path to where she is? Because of your personal preferences?
I paid for Hulu when playoffs started so I could actually watch the games. Tune in yesterday for Flames/Stars and the Caps/Panthers game was playing on that stream channel. They didn't switch over to Flames/Stars when that game started, they kept broadcasting Caps/Panthers until it ended. This isn't network TV - isn't the point of having different streaming channels that you can actually watch what you want to? Thankfully OT ended quickly so I only missed a third of the first period.Quote:

Still hard after that Leafs comeback W last night. I need to speak with a doctor.
I don't assume that she has had an easy or hard path to broadcasting an NHL playoff game. I doesn't sound like she has 10 years of experience broadcasting games, regardless if she has or not.Quote:

Next career note i found is contracted by ESPN to be first NHL female play by play.
Doesn't sound like the multi year development to get to a high level of play by play. In the oilers game last night, several stretches of silence, where i am guessing she was trying to catch up and find another opportunity to pick it up again. I thought the call of the game was poor, further compounded by a complete lack of synergy with the color commentator (who also sucked), i switched over to the blues wild game.
Now to the color announcer who drives me batty. Cassie Campbell Pascall, Her color commentary meanders all over the place. In the same sentence, she frequently ends up somewhere totally unrelated to where she started the sentence. There is little to no interaction with the play by play guy, and she just sounds clunky and disjointed. In my humble opinion. There is another lady who does color, (can't remember who) and i found her to be much better at it. Cheryl pounder maybe? Or Linda Cohn?
End rant.

Friday night, five lads around a campfire in a campground listening to Joe Bowen call the last ten minutes of the Leaf's game. Small portable radio, crackly reception. "Just put the damn puck in the net!". Sure as hell beats watching the game on a 60 inch tv. Sunday night and Lucy pulled the football...again. Last night gave us hope.
That Matthews kid might end up being kinda good, eh?Quote:

Good God...Marner's shot/pass of the pads on the Matthews goal was the tits!Quote:

Gonna be huge if kings upset the Oilers and Mcjesus.
Also I don't think Leah Hextall is that bad, I agree that the sound guys the other night made herself commentary worse. That said I prefer to listen to regional announcers if possible.
And Mark Rycroft might have the best hockey mullet of any announcer(sorry Melrose).

Not that bad should not be the criteria to be qualified to call playoff games. She has not put in the time calling games for years and it shows. Which means, she is there for reasons other than her ability to call a game.Quote:

Wearing a Whalers sweater today for the away game in Boston. No, I'm not actually GOING to the game but trying a different routine because the wearing the Hurricanes jersey for the last 2 games there didn't work hahahaha..
Boston feeds on hate.
Deja vu all over again in Toronto
Fucking Wild just never fail to disappoint. I can't watch anymore.
Wild we’re out coached and out strategized. Like I said before the series started, we will lose if we didn’t make some system changes to give the Blues a different look. They know how to expose us and we never adapted.
Hope The Av’s sweep them in round 2.
Every season the Hurricanes have trouble getting out muscled by the Bruins. A little better this season, but still not doing a good enough job pushing the Bs out of the screen and tip zone or holding that ice area themselves.. ..Quote:

Gonna be interesting to see if that pattern holds tomorrow.
Starting with Guerin putting Flower in net to start the series - always go with the hot goalie in the playoffs and Talbot was the better goalie down the stretch. He should have had the game 1 start. Special teams just sucked this series and that definitely falls on the coaches. Av's - Blues could be an interesting series - best power play going against one of the top PK's. 2nd best team in the west and they're bumped in the first round yet again.Quote:

Wilson down did not help, but they were barely playoff worthy by the end of the season
Yeah, Wilson definitely brings a lot to the ice, for sure. It just seems like the last few years when the intensity ratchets up for the playoffs they don't have the extra gear everyone else has.Quote:

Make the playoffs…miss out on a close series against filly or the isles
The win a couple seasons ago was the anomaly
Sucked all day every day since Trotz left... .Quote:
