Someone in management needs to give some direction to these guys so they can do the job for which they are hired. Namely, a play-by-play announcer should do mostly just that. The color guy should make comments related to the game, but do it mostly when play is stopped. If I thought I could get Hennessy on the radio and synch it with the tv video, it would solve the problem, but I don't think I have that possibility available to me. If Alex or Jake read this: Please make a self-evaluation of the way you cover the games. You are both knowledgeable about the sport of hockey and could really add a lot to the enjoyment of the the audience watching the game. Getting into a gab-fest with each other while the game is in progress only detracts from your performance. Wooger (RIP) and Mazzocco used to do stuff like this all the time. This is a First World Problem, just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hain and Senden are great together, gotta find the third guy. Cole Smith mentality please. Didn't get on the score sheet, but 21-14-28 was for 60 minutes our best line. Might have been Keane's best game. Don't have a finisher on that line, but they can grind away shifts in the offensive zone. Keaner deserves more icetime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually are talking about what's happening on the ice...novel concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last game against DU, I thought I was listening to the DU play by play guys as they were gushing about DU for most of the game. I had to mute them.
