Pornographic Memory posted:what series do you guys think will be the most fun to watch? i feel like i gotta binge on as much playoff hockey as possible and i'll be watching cbj-pens anyway. i'll probably watch leafs-caps to hate-root against the caps but fat chance that isn't a curb stomp series Oilers-sharks will be fun because neither are really considered contenders, and the puck landing on Mcdavid's stick at his own blue line and him being completely alone by the next one will put a smile on anybody's face. You'll also get to see eberle and RNH in their first playoffs. And Taylor Hall will also probably be watching. Leafs-Caps will be fun, it's like an unstoppable force and immovable object, and they're playing against a team of rookies just there to have fun. Tkachuk-Kessler might be fun, but you have to sit through flames-ducks games to see it.

xzzy posted:Kenny Alberts sucks. I'll grant he can competently report the play and has an inoffensive voice, but has the personality of a rock. Foley is probably doing the local CSN broadcast. I've noticed Versus/NBC has pulled from some of the eliminated teams' PBP guys for their coverage over the years (Forslund, Peckham, Strader, Sam Rosen one year when the Rags were out, etc.)

Stretch Marx posted:I'm pretty sure the NBC feed is going with Gord Miller for Habs vs. Rangers. So at least you have that. Sportsnet coulda thrown money at Miller or Rick Ball and instead they hire Romanuk and Randorf and then have to go out and get Cole out of retirement because those two were so loving terrible.

I think the actual lesson is that hockey is better without any announcers at all. Put mics on the ice and let us hear the foul things players say to each other.

This is just my two cents, but my plan was to root for Minnesota if Calgary didn't make it as they're a likable franchise and they have some really talented guys and may go far

i hate national broadcast crews because they try and turn the sport into baseball. i don't care about what college they went to or any of the storylines, i just want a tyson nash hype man yelling about dangles and top shelf cheddar and drew remenda bitching about defensive awareness and the play by play guy gets the visiting team names wrong.

Now that you mention it, that probably is the best description for Tyson Nash's commentary. For anyone who doesn't tune into the Yotes, here's a synopsis for you: https://youtu.be/oQhtKHHuHFM
