Always my favorite part
Fucking Diz-nay
There is one lady color announcer who does an ok job, the one who gets to do a lot of the games drives me bonkers, voice is fine, but she always blathers about shit unrelated. I find myself saying to myself, "I get where you started, but wtf are you talking about now?" By the end of the run on sentence. And there is a lack of banter between her and the play by play guy.
Maybe I'm just old and sexist i don't know.
Yeah, I know who you are talking about. Don’t know her name either.
I’m usually staring at my phone watching bet lines or reading forums so I half zone them out anyway
This color guy sucks worse than the pxp
Is this the first female play by play for nhl playoffs? I don’t recall one before
Announcing hockey is by far the hardest sport I think. I don’t mind her.
Agree.Quote:

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

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:

At least with the old nhl ppv I could watch local broadcasts for first round
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:
