HL is a total idiot. Great goalie, terribly bias for goalies though.

Ask a goalie what he thinks should be goalie interference?? I could have told you what he was going to say.


That is the ####ing worst call, if this was my time I’d debate ever, and good for spittin chicklet dude to call it as it is.

The intermission countdown to the start of the next period is by far the best thing in the American broadcasts. I wish we had that for SN. I often miss the start of a new period because I have no desire to watch the intermission coverage but would check in to see the time remaining.

Did he bump the goalie stick before Makar pushed him in? Outside the paint though.

Good PBPs can see the play developing and their call heightens during, not just after something already happened.

Take a drink every time he says "power move".

The guy seemed fixated on saying full names especially if it's recognizeable stars, then an abundance of cliches about "good sticks" and "working along the wall". He randomly inserts time left in the period, or mentions "Game 6" even more randomly.

And yes, with all that verbal diarrhea being spewed and have to jam in there, there's really no flow, cadence or sense of what's going on, or build up of chances that makes it enjoyable listen too. Reminds me of Rob Kerr, becuase the time his voice got excited the puck may have already been in the net or the breakaway was almost already done.

But these are national broadcasts.

Lundquist is an idiot. Good for the other 3 guys for calling it out

[traptor]

Terrible call. League is hard to take seriously.

When rules have no consistent meaning the league has no value.

PBP misses a lot, jumps all over the place, and or really doesn’t know how to explain what’s going on. The analysis is non existent outside in mimicing what’s on the screen.

Works just fine …. On mute!

He didnt seem that passionate about his opinion. I kinda wonder if they were like "well, this will be a boring conversation of we all agree... Hank, you take the goalies side"

Double overtime means more beer. Keep it going, great action!

[troutman]

How bad is that ice?

[CedarMeter]

What the hell. Fell asleep. Just woke up and we still have a game.

[CF84]

The NHL is probably partially fixed now that betting is advertised and profitable for the already rich and connected...at least as much as you can fix a sport moving at such high speeds. That ref waived his arms like his life depended on it. Maybe I'm off, but something smells funny.

Had to kill time somehow.

[ComixZone]

Wow. How does he keep that out.

Ah, Johnston

[GioforPM]

This is the long ot point where the hockey gets kinda bad while they catch their breath.

[topfiverecords]

This would have made for a good Stanley Cup final.

[hwy19man]

Will a penalty be called? We are halfway to triple overtime.

[dissentowner]

How can the Avs change there? It's icing.
